Abstract
Background and Aim: Emotional intelligence is one of the psychological dimensions which plays an important role in emotional regulation. In this study the role of spiritual orientation in predicting cognitive emotion regulation strategies among the students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences was investigated.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 250 students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences selected through simple random sampling in 2015. Data were collected using the cognitive emotion regulation strategies questionnaire (Garnfsky et al., 2002) and the spiritual intelligence questionnaire (Shahidi and Farajnia, 1391) and analyzed using SPSS 23, the statistical tests being the Pearson correlation coefficient and canonical correlation.
Results. A statistically significant positive association was found between spiritual attitude and emotion regulation. Based on canonical correlation, of the two canonical roots only root 1 was significantly associated with emotion regulation (p= 0.03; f, 0.90), explaining 7% of the emotion regulation variance. The second root had no statistically significant correlation with emotion regulation.
Conclusion: The deeper the religious beliefs of a person, the higher he will value himself and the world around. Consequently, he will have more satisfaction in life and, therefore, can better control his emotions and feelings.

Materials and Methods: This was a pre-test, post-test and follow-up single-blind intervention study. From among the women hurt by infidelity referring to the Social Emergency Department of Sabzevar City, Iran between September and January 2021, a sample of 42 were randomly selected and assigned to either an experimental (n = 21) or a control group (n = 21). They completed 2 questionnaires, namely, an Inhibition of Emotions Questionnaire (27) and a Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (29), initially and after the intervention. The education was carried out in 20 sessions using emotional working memory education software (32). The data were analyzed using the repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance.
- : Analysis of the data showed that emotional working memory education can affect the ability to control emotions and regulate cognitive emotion in women hurt by infidelity.

Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the emotions that plays an important role in the health of all people is the emotion of anger which is one of the main emotions. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation and resilience training mediated by locus of control on anger control in medical students.
Materials and Methods: This was an experimental study. The statistical population included all medical students randomly divided into three groups of 30 students each by simple and multi-stage cluster sampling. One of the experimental groups received 8 sessions of emotion regulation training and the other 8 sessions of resilience training. Data were collected on all the subjects using the Rotter locus of control and Spielberger's anger and trait questionnaires
and analyzed using repeated-measures and two-factors analysis of variance.
Results: Analysis of the data showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the emotion regulation and resilience training groups as regards anger control. In addition, the differences between the two groups as regards the locus of internal and external control in controlling anger and its subscales were also significant.
Conclusion: Teaching emotion regulation and resilience skills can, like other skills, help greatly students against the challenges of the present era.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Considering the harms and dangers of addiction and the fact that many people are trapped in it every day, it is important to identify the variables that affect it. The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to addiction among university students based on initial maladaptive schemas and cognitive emotion regulation.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population consisted of all the 3548 students of Gonbad Kavous Payame-Noor University in the academic year 2019-20, from among whom a sample of 384 students was selected using the one-stage cluster random sampling method. The data collection tools were the following 3 questionnaires: early maladaptive schema (Young, 2005), cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2001) and addiction tendency (Wade and Butcher, 1992). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data using the SPSS software version 22 at a statistical significance level of 0.05.
Results: Data analysis showed correlations between addiction and the following variables: excessive ringing in the ears (r = 0.491, p = 0.001), being guided by others (r = 0.523, p = 0.001), disturbed constraints (0.001 >, r = 0.426 p), impaired function (r = 0.389, p = 0.001), discontinuation (r = 0.406, p <0.001) and cognitive emotion regulation (p> 475, <0.001). 0r =). In addition, the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed the following: excessive ringing (β= 0.203, p = 0.001), being guided by others (β= 0.274, p = 0.001), disturbed constraints (β= 0.261, p = 0.001), impaired function (β= 0.229, p = 0.001), discontinuation (β= 0.193, p <0.001) and cognitive emotion regulation (β= 0.315, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the average tendency to addiction among university students can be predicted by changing the initial maladaptive schemas and improving the cognitive emotional regulation.

Abstract
Background and Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness and emotion regulation based on dialectical behavior therapy on negative emotions (anxiety, anger and depression) among people with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Materials and Methods: This was a single-case experiment study of the multiple-step baseline type conducted in eight one-hour sessions on three patients with a one-month follow-up. The statistical population was patients suffering from borderline personality disorder, from among whom three volunteers diagnosed by a psychiatrist were selected by the targeted available selection process and a structured clinical interview based on the research criteria. Data were collected using the second edition of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Multidimensional Anger Inventory (MAI) questionnaires.
Results: Data analysis using special graphs and tables for the single-subject designs showed that the effect size in the variables of anxiety, depression and anger for the three subjects was, respectively, as follows: for the first subject 2.494, 2.260 and 2.484; for the second subject 3.087, 2.827 and 2.727; and for the third subject 4.854, 2.183 and 2.917.
Conclusion: This treatment method can bring about statistically significant changes in the symptoms of depression, anxiety and anger in patients with borderline personality disorder.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Considering the high prevalence of anxiety disorders, the high comorbidity of social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, and the negative and lasting effects of social anxiety disorder on various aspects of a person's life, the present study investigated the effect of emotion regulation group therapy on the symptoms of social anxiety disorder comorbid with generalized anxiety disorder.
Materials and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design with control and follow-up groups. The statistical population included all the patients with social anxiety disorder comorbid with generalized anxiety disorder referring to psychotherapy clinics in Shiraz, Iran, from among whom a sample of 30 people were selected by the available sampling method. Data were collected using Structured Clinical Interviews for DSM-5 (SCID-5), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 and the Social Interaction Anxiety Questionnaire (SIAS) and analyzed with SPSS version 27 software using the analysis of variance method with repeated measurements
Results: The data obtained showed that emotion regulation group therapy could significantly reduce the symptoms of social anxiety disorder (p<0.001) and generalized anxiety disorder (p<0.001), the results remaining stable in a three-month follow-up (p<0.05)
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study it can be concluded that group therapy of emotion regulation is effective in, and can, thus, be used as a therapeutic intervention for, social anxiety disorder comorbid with generalized anxiety disorder.
