Religious- ethical resources and recent psychological research have emphasized the role of patience in promoting mental health. A model investigating the mediating role of patience components in the relation between the Big Five factors of personality and emotion regulation strategies has been presented in this study. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the role of the Big Five factors of personality in predicting cognitive emotion regulation strategies with the mediating role of patience components. The statistical population of the present study was all of university students studying at Shiraz Payam-e-Noor University in the academic year 2014- 2015. Two hundred and ninety six university students were recruited among them via cluster sampling method. The participants answered the Short form of Goldberg’s 50- Item Personality Scale, Patience Scale and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. To analyze the data, mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient in the descriptive statistics section were utilized. And in the inferential statistics section, path analysis in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used. Moreover, SPSS16 and AMOS were run to analyze the data. The results indicated that the Big Five factors of personality except openness to experience could directly predict patience components and positive and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Moreover, Agreeableness (β= 0.09; P< 0.0001), Conscientiousness (β= 0.04; P< 0.0001) and Neuroticism (β= -0.04; P< 0.001) indirectly predicted the positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the patience components of Transcendence and Persistence played mediating roles. Negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies were indirectly predicted by Conscientiousness (β= -0.07; P< 0.0001) and Neuroticism (β= 0.09; P< 0.0001) and Acceptance showed a mediating role. It can be concluded that patience components as mediating variables can moderate the effects of negative personality characteristics (e.g., Neuroticism) on emotion regulation strategies and reinforce the effects of positive personality characteristics (e.g., Agreeableness and Conscientiousness) on these strategies. Applying educational strategies of patience in order to increase emotion regulation strategies among patients is recommended to psychologists.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is one of the most important psycho-physiological disorders that influence happiness, psychological well-being and life quality and cause heart attacks and arteriosclerosis. The present research seeks to study the effectiveness of group stress inoculation training (SIT) in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and life quality of women suffering from high blood pressure. The method of research was semi-experimental, and its design was pretest-posttest with control group. Through life quality questionnaire and manometer, a sample of 30 women with low life quality and blood pressure of more than 130/90 mmHg were selected and voluntarily divided into experimental and control groups. Experimental group received 10 sessions of SIT techniques while control group received no training. Then, the life quality and blood pressure of the participants were measured again. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA for the first and second hypotheses and t-test of the comparison of the independent means with differential scores for the third hypothesis. The results showed that the observed F-value in both systolic (3.09) and diastolic (3.17) blood pressure and the observed t-test in the life quality (3.30) were significant (p≤0.05). Theresearch, thus, underlines the important role SIT method plays in decreasing systolic and diastolic blood pressure and increasing life quality of women suffering from high blood pressure.

Adolescence is one of the important stages of evolution in human life that associated with frequency of stressful factors. This course represents a deep change that separates children of adult and creates the different transformations in it.

In contrast, some other try in different methods such as the occurrence of anger and aggression, taking refuge in alcohol and other drugs and avoid of dealing with problems by ineffective strategies Instead of adjustment coping. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of anger management training on social adjustment of high school female students in Rasht city.The design of this study is experimental with pretest-post test control group. Statistical population of this research is all of the high school female students in Rasht city that have been studying in 1389-90. . Sampling (n= 30) was done from subjects with Adjustment Inventory for High school Student (AISS) that their score were higher than group mean score and were divided in control (n=15) and experimental (n=15) groups. The experimental group attended at anger management training program in 8 sessions, 90 minutes each. Data analyzed by MANCOVA method’s at SPSS-16 software.
The finding indicated that observed F proportion was statistically significant (p < 0.05According to these result, anger management training can be effective in increasing social adjustment or reducing the Intensity of Non-social adjustment.
