The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity, reliability and factor structure of the short version of the Mind Wandering Questionnaire among students. The statistical population of this research included all the students of the faculty of literature and humanities of Urmia University in the academic year of 2022-2023 (a total of 2075 students), of which 380 were selected by available sampling. Depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21) and Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire (FMI-SF) were used to calculate convergent and divergent validity. Construct validity was investigated through confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was done using Cronbach's alpha method and retesting. Also, the data were analyzed with spss version 25 and Lisrel version 8.8 software. The results of confirmatory factor analysis, like the original form, confirmed a factor of mind wandering. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was equal to 0.89. In addition, the retest coefficient with an interval of four weeks for the entire questionnaire was 0.81. Also, the correlation coefficient showed favorable convergent and divergent validity of the questionnaire (P<0.001). According to the obtained results, it can be said that the mind wandering questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring mind wandering among students.

Internet addiction is a widespread problem inflicting most of today’s societies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotion efficacy therapy on the reduction of internet dependency and psychological vulnerability (depression, anxiety and stress) in students with symptoms of internet addiction. The research was quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test and control group. The statistical population of the study included all male students of state technical schools with symptoms of internet addiction in the year 2020 in Tabriz City. In order to select the sample, one district from five educational districts and then a technical school were selected randomly. After that, the students possessing the inclusion criteria to the research were screened by Young’s Internet Addiction Test (YIAT20) and from among them 40 students were purposively assigned to either experimental or control group, each group consisting of 20 students. The experimental group received eight session emotion efficacy therapy whereas the control group received no intervention in this period. For the collection of data, Young’s Internet Addiction Test (YIAT20) and Lovibond’s Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) were used. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results from the comparison of the post-tests of the groups indicated that scores of internet dependency and psychological vulnerability of experimental and control groups varied significantly (p<0.01). The results showed that emotion efficacy therapy reduced internet dependency and psychological vulnerability (depression, anxiety and stress) in students with symptoms of internet addiction.

This study deals with the direct role of perfectionism components in depression and their indirect mediating role in depression. To this end, 200 students at Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan were selected using the stratified random sampling method and responded to the research instruments, including perfectionism scale, self-criticism scale, and Beck's Depression Inventory. Pearson correlation and path analysis were applied in data collection. Results of the former indicated that there is a significant relation between the components of perfectionism and self-criticism and depression. In addition, there was a significant relation between self-criticism and depression. Path analysis results suggest that beta coefficient of other oriented perfectionism path to depression and community oriented perfectionism path to self-criticism is not significant, while the other path coefficients were significant. Good fit of model indices also demonstrated that the model has a good fit vis-à-vis the model. Overall, the results showed that perfectionism and self-criticism account for 59% of the variance of depression, and self-oriented perfectionism and other-oriented perfectionism account for 33% of the variance of self-criticism. Overall, one could draw the conclusion from the collected information that the subjects' depression could remarkably be controlled through reformed self-criticism and components of perfectionism.

Academic procrastination is a common problem and hindrance to students' academic achievement, such that diverse studies have suggested that 50 to 95% of people have procrastinated in doing their assignments. Despite the negative problems and consequences it brings about, few interventional efforts have been made to tackle it, and counseling specialists have few interventional options. This study seeks to examine the impact of an interventional option, namely reality therapy, on reduced academic procrastination. To this end, 60 individuals were randomly selected from among the male high school freshmen with high levels of academic procrastination identified in the initial study and divided into two experiment and control groups. The former was exposed to reality therapy provided by means of WDEP, while the latter underwent no intervention. An analysis of the data and comparison of difference in means of pretest and posttest scores achieved by the both groups using a t-test on each group separately indicated that academic procrastination scores in the experiment group have significantly reduced to the extent more than the control group. The research finding shows that reality therapy could be adopted as a serious interventional option for the purpose of decreasing academic procrastination. Finally, implications for teachers and parents were discussed.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and God image. To do so, 125 students of Shiraz University were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. The instruments used in this study consisted of the Young Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire —Short Form (SQ-SF) and Lawrence’s God Image Scale (GIS) (Lawrence, 1997; Sadeghi, 1384).Results showed that there was no significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas and image of God. Despite the lack of significant correlation between total scores of maladaptive schemas and image of God, there was a negative and significant relationship between social isolation, compliance and strict standards schemas with God image. Other maladaptive schemas did not show significant relationship with God image. These results indicate that those who think God is very controlling have negative emotional responses to God. That is, someone who feels that they are powerless and dependent and nothing is under their control shapes a negative image of God.

he interactional effect of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) and life skills training (LST) on university students` mental health were carried out in a randomized block designs study. At first, 166 male & female university students were randomly selected out of 11370 students at Islamic Azad University in Borujerd. Then Spiritual Intelligence questionnaires (Naseri & Sohrabi, 1386), and Symptoms Checklist-90- Revised (Derogatis at al, 1975), were filled out as the pretest by the subjects. On the basis of the results of the Spiritual Intelligence questionnaire, the subjects were divided into four groups. Two experimental groups, one with a higher SQ and the other with a lower SQ & two control groups, one with a higher SQ and the other with a lower SQ. The experimental groups in two separate classes of students with higher and lower SQ took part in 16 sessions of 3 hours of the LST based on instructional pattern of WHO (1996,1999), in a time span of 8 weeks. At the end of the course, they filled out SCL90-R questionnaire for the second time as the post test. Finally, after four months in order to figure out the stability or possible changes in the results, once more, in a follow-up study, the SCL90-R questionnaire was administered. The results of statistical test of Independent-Samples T test was used to analyze indicated that SQ and LST separately have a significant effect on the students` mental health, though in an interaction with each other, the two aforementioned factors have no a significant effect the students` mental health.
