AbstractSocial anxiety has a chronic and continuous process and is highly related to childhood and family. The aim of this study was determine the relationship between parents' obsessive beliefs and social anxiety in children with emotion regulation mediation. The research design was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population was 500 female students who were members of the Telegram virtual networks of the Faculty of Psychology of the Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch. The statistical sample consisted of 600 students including 200 female students and 400 parents who were selected by voluntary sampling. The Social Anxiety Scale (Michael Leibovitz, 1987) was completed by students, and the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (Obsessive Compulsive Cognitions Working Group, 2003), and the short form of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefsky, Gerich, & Spinhaven, 2002) were completed by parents. Pearson torque correlation tests and path analysis were used to test the hypotheses. Findings showed that parents' obsessive beliefs with their non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies, and parents' non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies with social anxiety in their children have a positive relationship, with a significance level of p≥0.05.

Cognitive bias modification refers to the change of specific style of cognitive processing that seems to be involved in the disorders or unpleasant emotional reactions. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive bias modification on reducing the severity of obsessive compulsive disorder. For this purpose, the available sample of 60 students with obsessive compulsive disorder has been selected. The research design was a semi-experimental design and pretest-posttest design with a control group. Participants in this study completed the Maudsly Obsessional Compulsive Inventory, Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, and Obsessional Beliefs Questionnaire. Results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that (1) the cognitive bias modification reduces the severity of obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms, obsessive beliefs, and obsessive behaviors. (2) Cognitive bias modification is more effective than group cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing the severity of obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms, obsessive beliefs, and obsessive behaviors. With regard to this finding, we can propose all psychotherapists use of cognitive bias modification therapy that is cost-effect and empirically supported as a new and easy to use in the treatment of symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.
