This study sets out to investigate the impact of group cognitive-behavioral intervention in stress management on improved hardiness and self-control in depressed women. It was carried out by means of experimental method inclusive of pretest and posttest with a control group. The statistical population comprises all female married patients visiting the Psychiatry Clinic in Tehran in 2013. The research sample is composed of 30 depressed patients who were selected from among the patients and divided into two experiment and control groups. For the purpose of data collection, the hardiness scale, self-control scale, perceived stress scale, and depression inventory were employed. Results of the multivariate variance analysis suggested that group cognitive-behavioral intervention in stress management positively affects improved hardiness and self-control (P<0.001). According to the research findings, group cognitive-behavioral intervention in stress management proves to be an effective method for improving and increasing depressed women's hardiness and self-control.

The purpose of the present research was to compare thought control strategies and cognitive appraisal of patients with Posttraumatic stress disorder. This research is a case-control study. The research sample consisted of 40 patients with PTSD and 40 normal persons which were selected by available sampling. To collect the data, Composite International Diagnostic Interview, Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory, Thought Control Questionnaire and The Impact of Event Scale-Revised were used. The MANOVA results showed that dysfunctional cognitive appraisal and use of inefficient thought control strategies in patients with PTSD is significantly greater than normal person. The results of multiple regressions also showed cognitive appraisal and thought control strategies percent 77 had significant contribute in prediction symptoms in patients with PTSD. The results suggested that thought control strategies and cognitive appraisal are related to PTSD symptoms. Also, the findings are consistent with Wells’ meta-cognitive model of PTSD.
