The effect of predictors of difficulties in emotion regulation, mentalization and insecure attachments on pain inability indicates a positive effect of difficulties in emotion regulation (β =0.52) and anxiety insecure attachment (β =0.30) at a significance level of less than 0.05 (Gives p-value (<0.001) and (p-value =0.001). In the study of pain intensity, difficulties in emotion regulation with (β =0.53) and avoidant insecure attachment with (β =0.13) with (p-value <0.001) and (p-value =0.01) indicates significance at the significance level less than 0.05 with a positive value of these two predictor variables. Using these findings, effective measures can be taken to improve and enhance the psychological health of patients with chronic pain.

Abstract
Risky behavior among adolescents is a common problem requiring attention and preventive interventions. Numerous studies support the contribution of cognitive and emotional deficits in the tendency to high-risk behaviors. This study aimed to predict risk-taking behaviors through decision-making styles and difficulty in emotion regulation among female adolescents. For this purpose, 200 high school students (Mage = 15. 23, SD = 1. 00) were selected via a stratified random sampling method. Participants completed the Iranian Adolescence Risk-taking Scale (IARS), General Decision-Making Style (GDMS) questionnaire, and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Findings indicated that risky behaviors significantly correlated with difficulty in emotion regulation. In addition, high-risk behaviors demonstrated a positive correlation with spontaneous decision-making and a negative correlation with rational decision-making style. The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed the significant role of decision-making styles and difficulty in emotion regulation in predicting high-risk behaviors. Practical implications and future areas of study are discussed.

Abstract
The aim of present study is determining the fit of the obsessive beliefs model based on social perception, theory of mind or mentalization, and empathy with the mediation of emotional regulation in a non-clinical population. The sample consisted of 400 adults aged 25 to 50 in Tehran selected by using the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included OBQ Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire, the Emotion Recognition Task (ERT), Baron and Cohen’s (2001) Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test, Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright's Empathy Quotient Scale (2004), and Kraaij and Garnefski's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2019). According to the results, the exogenous variables of social perception and empathy along with the mediator variable "positive emotion regulation strategies and negative emotion regulation strategies" had a significant effect on the criterion variable i.e. obsessive beliefs. Thus, social perception, empathy and positive emotion regulation strategies were able to predict obsessive beliefs. Among the path coefficients between research variables, the coefficients of the exogenous variable of mentalization on the criterion variable (obsessive beliefs) and negative emotional regulation strategies (as a mediating variable) had no significant effect. These findings have many practical implications both for prevention and providing more comprehensive and better treatments for obsessions.

Abstract
Methamphetamine is a highly stimulating psychoactive drug that causes life-threatening addictions and affects millions of people worldwide. Its effects on the brain are complex and include the disruption of neurotransmitter systems and neurotoxicity. There are several known treatments, but their effectiveness is moderate. It should be emphasized that no drug has been approved for treatment. For this reason, there is an urgent need to develop new, effective, and safe treatments for methamphetamine. Among the potential treatments are transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) and acceptance and commitment therapy. In recent years, these treatments have been widely investigated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) treatment with acceptance and commitment-based treatment on emotion regulation in men addicted to methamphetamine. The research method was a pre-test-post-test experiment with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the methamphetamine addicts in Tehran in 1401 who had referred to Azgol and Taranom Sabz drug addiction centers. From among them, 45 addicts were randomly selected according to the criteria for entering the research by the purposeful sampling method. The experimental groups (15 people in each group) and the control group (15 people) were assigned. The experimental groups received transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) and acceptance and commitment-based therapy, while the control group, which was on the waiting list, did not receive any training. To collect data, the questionnaire of cognitive emotion regulation strategies was used by Granfsky and Karaj (2009). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that after controlling for the effects of the pre-test, there was a significant difference between the post-test averages of the three groups in emotion regulation, and the treatment based on acceptance and commitment was more effective on the emotion regulation of men addicted to methamphetamine compared to transcranial direct electrical stimulation therapy. It can be concluded that transcranial direct electrical stimulation therapy and treatment based on acceptance and commitment are effective in regulating the emotions of men addicted to methamphetamine, and therefore, according to the findings of the research, these treatments can be used to reduce the problems of people addicted to methamphetamine.
