Abstract
The aim of the present study was identifying tendency to cigarette smoking based on the health believes, attitudes, subjective norms and resiliency among university students. It was a cross-sectional study which was conducted on 361 university students. Two questionnaires, one based on the health believe model and the theory of reasoned action, and the other about resiliency were completed. Data were analyzed through SPSS and Partial Least Squares (PLS) packages. The main study (conducted after pilot study) showed that 16/66% of 108 subjects who ever smoked, tried it before age 10. All friends of more than 10/5% of them (108 subjects) smoked cigarettes. Structural equation modeling showed that the conceptual model could predict tendency to tobacco smoking among university students. The highest coefficient was between attitudes and smoking. Subjective-norm was the next. The results confirm previous findings. The components couldcontribute in a reliable research model for studying risky B., smoking. The HBM might work better while is associated with attitudes andSN.Association of complementary elements (resiliency) with the model might be useful

Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the model which investigate predictive role of emotional dysregulation (ED), intolerance of uncertainty (IU), experiential avoidance (EA) and repetitive negative thinking (RNT) in positive and negative perfectionism. Participants were 412 B.S students of Tehran university, Allameh Tabatabei and Kharazmi university.The positive and negative perfectionism, repetitive negative thinking questionnaire, disorder in emotion regulation scale, intolerance of uncertainty scale and multidimensional experiential avoidance questionnaire were used for gathering data. Data was analyzed by structural equations modeling. ED does not have significant relationship with positive perfectionism. But there is mediated and unmediated significant relationship between ED and negative perfectionism. IU has unmediated significant relationship with perfectionism and has mediated and unmediated significant relationship with negative perfectionism. EA has unmediated significant relationship with perfectionism and has mediated and unmediated significant relationship with negative perfectionism. ED, IU and EA were significantly predicted 12 percent of positive perfectionisms, 64 percent of negative perfectionisms and 58 percent of RNT. The results showed that positive and negative perfectionism are two different structural models. And RNT mediates the association just between negative perfectionism and some of outcome variables.

Abstract
The objective of this study were to investigate Lynch’s theory of psychopathology with regard to depression. students from three universities in Tehran (n= 521) was selected by convenience sampling method. The measures used in this study were negative temperament scale of Schedule of Non-adaptive and Adaptive Personality, Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale, maladaptive perfectionism subscales of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Ambivalence over Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire, Personal Need for Structure Scale, Inventory of Interpersonal Problems, Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. The results showed that the model has good fit with data. Bootstrap analysis also confirmed the mediating role of over-controlling and social disconnectedness. Accordingly, the interaction of sensitivity to threats, sensitivity to rewards and parental perfectionism leads to development of an over-controlling coping style; this coping style leads to disturbance in social connectedness and subsequently to depression. Therefore, the results of this study support the Lynch’s model of psychopathology for depression.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate a model for predicting cigarette and water-pipe use among university students based on the adjustment to the university, mental health and motivation for use. This correlational study with a structural equation modeling approach was conducted on 634 students selected from Kashan universities by cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ), Substance Use Motives questionnaires, Young Risk Behavior Scale (YRBS), and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The results showed that none of the dimensions of adjustment to the university had a significant effect on cigarette or water–pipe use. Some dimensions (individual-emotional compatibility and attachment to the university) that were mediated by the role of mental health and consumer motivation, had an indirect significant effect on cigarette and water–pipe use. Mental health and coping motivation had a significant effect on cigarette use. Also, mental health and additive motivation had direct and significant effect on water-pipe use. Reduction of adjustment to the university in two aspects of emotional–individual adjustment and attachment to the university causes mental health problems, and the presence of coping motivations for cigarette use or additive motivations for water–pipe use, increase the probability of cigarette or water–pipe use among the students. According to the findings, the development of different preventive programs for cigarette or water–pipe use, screening of mental health problems especially for vulnerable students during the school years, is recommended.

Abstract
The Personality Pathology Dimensions Assessment Questionnaire (DAPP-BQ) is a self-report tool used to assess the characteristics of personality disorder. However, its diagnostic validity has not been investigated in Iranian samples. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic validity of the Personality Pathology Dimensions Questionnaire (DAPP-BQ) in couples using sensitivity coefficient and clarity-orientation. The method of this research, which is in the field of psychometric designs, is a subset of methodological studies. The statistical population of the study consisted of all couples referred to counseling centers in Tehran, of which 240 couples (120 as clinical group and 120 as normative group) were selected using available purposive sampling. In the present study, in order to investigate the diagnostic validity of the mentioned instrument with an emphasis on the cut-off point method, sensitivity coefficient and clarity orientation have been used. The findings showed that the scales of "intimacy disorder" and "low social relationships" from the dimension of "social avoidance", "conduct disorder", "narcissism" and "rejection" from the dimension of "antisocial behavior", "cognitive disorder", "insecure dependence" and "stubbornness and disobedience" from the dimension of "emotional disorder" and "impulsivity" from the dimension of "impulsive behavior" using both methods have diagnostic validity and can distinguish the clinical group from the normative group.

| Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to determine the moderating role of self-compassion in relation between couple’s romantic perfectionism (self-centered and other-centered) with quality of marital life in the women. This study was of a descriptive-correlation type and the statistical population included married women of Tabriz city. 321 samples were selected using a convenience sampling method and the link of the questionnaires was provided to them. The tools of this research included: Rees et al.'s self-compassion scale (2011), Abdollahi and Allen's (2022) romantic perfectionism scale (self-centered and other-centered), and Busby et al.'s (1995) marital quality measurement scale. . After entering the data into the computer, the data were analyzed using SPSS26 and PLS3 software using the structural equation modeling method. The results showed that self-compassion has a significant relationship with the quality of married life (P<0.001,β=0.384),on the other hand self-centered romantic perfectionism has a significant relationship with the quality of married life (P<0.001,β=0.361),also other-centered romantic perfectionism has a significant relationship with the quality of married life (P<0.001,β=-0.713). Self-compassion played a moderating role between self-oriented perfectionism and marital life quality, but it did not play a moderating role in relation to other-oriented perfectionism and marital life. According to these findings, the importance of getting to know the dimensions of romantic perfectionism and teaching the skills of self-compassion in pre-marriage and post-marriage counseling, both in preventing the decrease in the quality of marital life and in increasing the quality of marital life, doubles.
