Introduction: According to the previous studies, the role of psychological factors in the incidence of heart disease is undeniable. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between behavioral and metacognitive brain systems sensitivity and emotion regulation in heart patients. Materials and Methods: The present study is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of this study consists of patients (n=180) with heart failure in the Cardiovascular Center of Shahid Madani Tabriz, Iran in 2018. The sample was selected based on the Morgan table and using the available sampling method (n=120). Gary Wilson’s personality questionnaires, Wells metacognition, and Gratz and Romer’s emotional disorder were used to collect data. Results: Our findings have shown that emotional disorder has a negative and significant relationship with the behavioral activating system and a positive and significant relationship with behavioral inhibition systems and war and escape. There is also a positive and significant relationship between emotional distress and positive beliefs about worry, negative beliefs about worry, cognitive confidence, and cognitive awareness. There was no relationship between emotional disorder and superstition, punishment, and responsibility. The results of regression analysis also showed that volatile variables, behavioral inhibition system, and behavioral activator were able to predict changes in emotional variability in heart patients, respectively. Conclusion: The sensitivity of behavioral and metacognitive brain systems plays an important role in emotion regulation in patients with heart failure.

Introduction: As multiple sclerosis (MS) affects both the body and mind, people with MS need to be treated by both pharmacological and psychological interventions. Psychological interventions include using a variety of counseling and psychotherapy approaches, such as mindfulness- based cognitive therapy and compassion-focused therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of mindfulness- based cognitive therapy and compassion-focused therapy on resilience and psychological well- being in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: This study was semi-experimental with a pre- test, post- test control group design. This study consisted of all men with MS in Tabriz who were members of the MS Society in 2018. In total, 30 men were selected and randomly divided into three groups by a purposive sampling method. Members of both experimental groups received their treatment, respectively, in eight sessions of 1.5 hours; however, the control group did not receive any treatment. Results: There was no significant difference between resilience and psychological well-being scores in the treatment and control groups in the pre-test. The results showed that mindfulness- based cognitive therapy and compassion-focused therapy compared to the control group led to increased resilience & psychological well-being in MS patients in the post- test. In the follow-up phase, the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and compassion-focused therapy on resilience and psychological well-being persisted. Furthermore, the impact of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and compassion-focused therapy on resilience and psychological well-being in the post-test and follow- up was significantly not different. Conclusion: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and compassion-focused therapy are likely to reduce anxiety, thereby better coping with the disease and increasing resilience and psychological well- being in patients with MS.

Introduction: We encounter different information or stimuli. However, the combination of these stimuli and the quality of their presentation can influence our perception and decision. Despite the importance of these combined stimuli to our judgments and decisions, it is not yet clear how the characteristics of these stimuli affect the decisionmaking processes. For example, it is not clear whether the time interval between the information we receive can affect the accuracy and speed of decisionmaking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the time interval between two different visual stimuli on perceptual decisionmaking. Materials and Methods: According to psychophysical experiments, it was possible to measure the response to perceptual stimuli and compare perceptual choices. In a Random Dot Motion (RDM), the task was displayed to the participants as the primary visual stimulus and a graphic cue as the second visual stimulus, at different intervals, and then the participant’s decision accuracy and reaction time to each of these two stimuli were recorded and analyzed. Results: We found that in RDM (primary stimulus), the accuracy of participants’ decisions are not affected by the time interval between the presentation of two stimuli. Instead, the accuracy of the response to the Cue (second visual stimulus) decreases in long time intervals between two stimuli. Interestingly, if two stimuli are presented simultaneously, the decision about each of these stimuli is reasonably accurate; yet, the speed of the decisionmaking process is slower than when a person encounters two stimuli separated by a time interval. Conclusion: The human visual system can distinguish visual stimuli that are presented with a short time interval in between; however, in exchange for correctly identifying these stimuli, the speed of decisionmaking may be slowed down.n Article Info:

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, which potentially threatens their life. This disease affects the mood, personality, and emotions of children and families. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the transdiagnostic treatment program (TTP) on improving the quality of life and reducing depression in children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Materials and Methods: This experimental study has been done on 22 children with T1D who were referred to two medical centers located in Tehran, Iran in 2020. The patients were randomized into 2 groups; 1) intervention with TTP (n=10, 15 sessions, 60-minute) and 2) control (n=12). The Child Depression Inventory and the Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire, before, after, and one month following treatment filled out by participants. Results: Our findings revealed that the intervention group showed a significant decrease in the mean of the variable of depression (-0.66 vs. -0.15, P<0.001) and an increase in quality of life components such as physical functioning (0.71 vs. 0.1, P<0.001), emotional functioning (0.74 vs. -0.02, P<0.001), social performance (0.56 vs. 0.02, P<0.001) and school performance (0.68 vs. 0.15, P<0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that TTP will be an effective method to reduce depression and increase the quality of life of children with TD1.

1. Cognition 2. Cortical Excitability 3. Athletic Performance Introduction: Transcranial directcurrent stimulation is a nerve modulation technique that induces lowintensity direct current to brain cells that stimulate or inhibit spontaneous neural activity. In recent decades, the use of electrical stimulation has been used as an effective method to improve the cognitive, psychological, and physical performance of athletes. In this study, using metaanalysis, the effectiveness of extracranial electrical stimulation on optimizing athletes’ performance was investigated. Materials and Methods: The present study is a systematic review and meta-analysis research model. In the first phase of the study, all Persian and English studies on the effectiveness of Transcranial directcurrent stimulation on athlete’s performance were systematically reviewed (N=474), and among them, studies with metaanalysis criteria were reviewed by MetaAnalysis Basics and Applications (N=26). In the second stage, a specific intervention model for athletes was developed based on various components affecting performance. Results: The results showed the effect size (ES) of transcranial directcurrent stimulation (Cohen’s d=1.187) is large according to Cohen’s table (Cohen’s D>0.8). Therefore, transcranial directcurrent stimulation improves the performance of athletes. In the second stage, the factors affecting the performance of athletes following transcranial directcurrent stimulation were developed in the form of a specific intervention model for athletes. Conclusion: The findings of this metaanalysis showed a large ES for transcranial directcurrent stimulation on athletic performance optimization.n ABSTRACT Article Info:

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was the comparison of phonological skills, memory self-cued and around- cued, and selective attention on students with and without dyslexia. Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the present study was normal and dyslexic male students of the fifth and sixth grades of Tabriz, Iran primary schools in 2018-2019. Multi- stage sampling methods were used to select the participants. For data collection, the phonological skills Landerl, memory self- cued, and around-cued Crawford et al, and Stroop test were used. Results: There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups in the skills of naming numbers, verbal fluidity and voice exchange, memory- centered and peripheral memory, and the number of errors and time of attention. Dyslexic students have lower phonological skills, memory, and selective attention. Conclusion: Attentions are required to the role of phonological skills, memory improvement, and selective attention in dyslexic students.s
