        The purpose of this study was to predict rumination and worry based on the ability to control thought and cognitive behavioral avoidance in students with clinical depression. For this purpose, a sample of 150 students with clinical depression (100 women and 50 men) were selected using multi-stage random sampling. In order to collect information from the Thought Control Ability Questionnaire (TCAQ, Luchiano, 2005), Cognitive Behavioral Avoidance Scale (CBAS, Ottenbreit, 2004), rumination scale (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ, Meyer, 1990) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II, Beck, 1996) and demographic characteristics. The results of regression analysis showed that the ability of thought control and behavioral cognitive avoidance together significantly predict 32.5% of rumination variance and 28.9% of worry variance in students suffering from clinical depression which these values are reliable at the level (p < 0.5). The findings of this study indicate that behavioral avoidance is more predictive than cognitive avoidance of anxiety. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of positive cognitive behavioral therapy and Teaching cognitive emotion regulation strategies for resilience and self-efficacy of female students with nonclinical depression. This research is applied in terms of purpose; For data collection, field and experimental research methods were pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study includes all female high school students with non-clinical depression in Ahvaz who were studying in the academic year 2019-2020, from which a sample of 45 people was selected by purposive sampling. The experimental and control groups were randomly equated . Positive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Based on Regulatory Intervention Based on Positive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Bennink, 2014) in ten 90-minute sessions and Emotional Cognitive Regulation Cognitive Training Protocol in 8 90-minute sessions in experimental groups 1 and 2, respectively. The control group did not receive any training. Data were collected using Beck et al.'s (1996) Depression Inventory, Connor & Davidson Resistance Scale (2003) and Scherer et al.'s (1982) General Self-Efficacy Scale using univariate and Analysis of covariance of one variable (ANKOVA) and multivariate (MANCOVA). Were analyzed in SPSS-24 software. The results showed that the experimental and control groups in the post-test stage were significantly different in terms of self-efficacy and resilience (P <0.001). That is, positive cognitive-behavioral therapy and teaching cognitive emotion regulation strategies increased resilience and self-efficacy in female students with nonclinical depression. Also, the scores of positive cognitive behavioral therapy in both variables were significantly higher compared to cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

        Purpose: Aging is a sensitive period of human being's life which requires substantial attention toward the related needs and concerns. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of well-being therapy on the quality of life of the elderly with non-clinical depression. Methodology: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up with control group. The present study population consisted of the elderly living in Neshat nursing home in Mashhad in 2019. 28 of them were selected by convenience sampling method and after controlling the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they were randomly assigned to two groups of 14 (experimental and control). Measurement tools were the GDS (Yesavage et al, 1982), AMTS (Hodgkinson, 1972), and the CASP-19 (Hyde et al, 2003). Welfare therapy sessions were also provided to the experimental group in 8 sessions of 90 minutes. In order to test the research hypothesis, descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of variance were used in SPSS/24 software. Findings: The results showed that both in the post-test and in the follow-up phase, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of total quality of life score (Eta=0.43, P=0.001 & F=14.03), and control component (Eta=0.15, P=0.041 & f=4.67). But in the component of selfrealization, autonomy and i pleasure, there was no significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups in post-test and follow-up. Conclusion: The findings of this study can provide a promising perspective on the effectiveness of positive therapies on the quality of life of the elderly living in nursing homes. Manuscript profile
