        With regard to various concerns regarding the category of personality disorder since the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, an alternative personality disorder model is provided in the third part of DSM-5. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of  DSM-5 adult Personality Inventory on the normal population. For this purpose, 278 students were selected by using multi-stage cluster sampling, and tested with adult DSM-5 personality inventory, Dark  Triad Scale and Big Five Personality Questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire with other scales showed eligible discriminant and convergence validity. As well as its factor structure was assessed by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The results of the factor analysis indicated that the DSM-5 adult Personality Inventory has five factors, check the reliability of the questionnaire using Cronbach's alpha, retest and splitting coefficient reflects the reliability of the Inventory. The inventory, has required psychometric properties in Iranian population sample, and Inventory can be used in studies in the Iranian culture. Manuscript profile

        Affectivity refers to the individuals’ mood and states of mind that is experienced as  positive or negative emotions. The aim of this study was to examine the pathological anxiety, rumination, and cognitive emotional regulation strategies within the positive and negative affectivity levels. For this purpose, 287 male and female students of Urmieh University were selected through multistage cluster sampling method. Following initial analysis of the results, 74 of the subjects were designated based on the end distribution of scores (Z standard) on a scale of positive and negative affectivity. Lastly, to test the hypothesis of the study, participants were evaluated for pathological anxiety, rumination and cognitive emotional regulation strategies. The data were analyzed using uni-variate and multivariate variance and follow-up tests. The results showed that pathological anxiety and rumination are related with high levels of negative affectivity and low level of positive affectivity. Further, the results indicated that individuals with high negative affectivity (HNA) had higher scores in negative emotional regulation strategies and subjects with high positive affectivity (HPA) obtained higher scores in positive emotional regulation strategies. It seems that the positive and negative aspects of emotions are the predisposing factors of psychopathology through the mediation of pathological anxiety, rumination and cognitive emotional regulation strategies.

        Gray neuropsychological theory explains how the brain relevant personality trait are associated with the formation of pathological disorders. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlations and mediation model of cognitive reappraisal and suppression, as two strategies for emotional regulation between brain-behavioral systems and anxiety, depression and stress. For this purpose, from the statistical population of the Bu Ali sina and urmia University students, 340 were selected through multistage cluster sampling and were tested with regard to reinforcement sensitivity, cognitive reappraisal and suppression , anxiety, depression and stress scale. Correlation and path analysis results showed that significant positive correlation between inhibition system with anxiety, stress and depression and also negative correlation with cognitive reappraisal.There were negative correlation between cognitive reappraisal with anxiety, depression and stress. The path analysis model also showed strong relationships between brain/behavioral systems with anxiety, depression and stress, and cognitive reappraisal and suppression were unable to mediate these relationships. It seems that sensitivity of brain-behavioral systems causes vulnerability to symptoms of psychopathology Manuscript profile
