Abstract Social anxiety disorder and depression have a high comorbidity. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the development and maintenance of these disorders is very important. Present study aims to evaluation of structural relations of brain-behavioral systems and Emotion regulation difficulties with social anxiety disorder and depression symptoms. 240 individuals (120 male and 120 female) of Tabriz University Student selected by clustering sampling and answered to following questionnaires: Carver and White's Behavioral Inhibition & Activation Scale, Difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS), Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire (APPQ) and Beck Depression Inventory. For data analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used. Evaluation of structural model was performed using the chi-square, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA), Standard Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) and comparative fit index (CFI). Results show the average fitness of the hypothesized model, the modified model that In addition to the direct relations; also had indirect relations between study variables showed a better fit. Relying on the findings of this study and emphasized the role of mediation Emotion regulation difficulties can presented a Theoretical framework to explain the complexity of the comorbidity and distinguishability between depression and social anxiety disorder.

Abstract Despite the fact that addiction lead to undesirable outcomes, the recognition of related correlate factors has received less attention. The aim of the present study was to assess the prediction of drug preparation based on sensation seeking, alexithymia and self-expression in university students. For this purpose, using correlation method and questionnaire, the data collection from 372 students of Islamic Azad University of Arak has been carried out. The research questionnaire included Marvin Zuckerman sensation seeking scale study (1978), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), assertiveness of Gambril and Ritchie (1975), and the readiness to addiction scale by Wade and Butcher (1992). The results of the students’ responses have been analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression coefficient. The results showed that sensation seeking and alexithymia have positively and significantly associated with readiness to addiction, at the same time the self-expression has significant negative correlation with readiness to addiction. Also the results of the regression analysis showed that three variables of sensation seeking, alexithymia and self-expression have been able to explain 41% of the readiness to addiction.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of attachment styles in the speed information processing. From Najaf Abad high school students, 300 people were randomly selected and completed Attachment Styles Scale (Collins and Read, 1990). In the next step, on based on entry criteria and extreme scores of attachment style questionnaire’s distribution three groups of 15 subjects (anxious ambivalent, avoidant and secure) were selected and evaluated via Speed-of-processing tests Zahlen-Verbindungs-Test and Coding Test (KDT). The end results analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and post hoc tests. The results of multivariate analysis of variance and post hoc tests showed that information processing time students have anxiety / avoidance attachment style more than students with avoidant and secure attachment style. Also, the performance of students with secure attachment styles better than students with attachment anxiety / avoidance and ambivalent. Based on the findings of this study can be said that attachment styles pivotal role in cognitive processes. Manuscript profile
