Reciprocal relations between dimensions of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity and anxiety disorders from preschool age to adolescence
BACKGROUND: Symptoms of anxiety and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are prospectively related from childhood to adolescence. However, whether the two dimensions of ADHD-inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity-are differentially related to anxiety and whether there are developmental and sex/gender differences in these relations are unknown. METHODS: Two birth cohorts of Norwegian children were assessed biennially from ages 4 to 1…
Fostering positive mental health outcomes
This study investigates the effectiveness of Internal Cohesion Psychotherapy (ICP) in enhancing three dimensions of the intrapersonal system: self-regulation, self-esteem, and motivation among youth with diagnosed mood disorders. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-intervention assessments from 82 clients (63 females, 19 males). In contrast, qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 2…
Maternal, paternal, and peer attachment and adolescent behavior problems
The findings suggest that the IPPA-45 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing adolescents' attachments to their parents and peers. Thus, attachment relationships, including peer attachment, appear to be essential for protecting teenagers from behavior problems and should be targeted in intervention programs
Deviation from the balanced time perspective and depression and anxiety symptoms
The study highlights the crucial role of TPs and ER strategies in predicting anxiety and depression symptoms, with notable cultural nuances. Specifically, maladaptive strategies exacerbate symptoms, while adaptive strategies mitigate them primarily in Iranian contexts. Cultural subtleties are discussed in detail
Psychosocial drivers of adolescent suicide attempts in Iran
Suicidal behaviors in adolescents are more complicated than in other age groups. This study investigated the factors associated with suicide attempts in adolescents in western Iran. This study, using a qualitative phenomenological approach, examined 22 Kermanshah adolescents who had a history of suicide attempts. Participants were selected intentionally and semi-structured interviews collected data. The data were analyzed according to Colaizzi's …
Work addiction risk, stress and well-being at work
Introduction: Attention to work addiction risk is growing; however, more studies are needed to explore the possible impact of work addiction risk on various aspects of employees' work and life domains. Although several studies have considered the antecedents or consequences of work addiction risk, this study particularly focuses on sleep quality as a potential explanatory underlying mechanism in the relation between work addition risk and three o…
Adverse Childhood Experience, Parental Bonding, and Fatherhood as Parenting Vulnerabilities to Social Anxiety Severity

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study utilized self-reported assessments to evaluate fatherhood, parental bonding, anxious thoughts, and childhood trauma. The study was administered to 242 university students exhibiting social anx…
Perceived social support, perceived stress, and quality of sleep among Covid-19 patients in Iran
The MSPSS was valid and reliable for measuring individuals' perception of social support between males and females and older and non-older COVID-19 patients
The mediating role of subjective social status in the association between objective socioeconomic status and mental health status
The findings indicate a significant mediating role of SSS in the relationship between OSS and mental health. Enhancing our comprehension of the social determinants that moderate the relationship between objective and subjective socioeconomic status may contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the impact of SES on mental health outcomes
An examination of the mediating role of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies in the complex relationship between interpersonal needs and suicidal behavior
Our findings show that contextual-interpersonal needs, which underpin suicidal behavior, are significantly influenced by maladaptive emotional processes. Thus, therapeutic outcomes might be enhanced by focusing on the content of the associated cognitions and trying to reduce maladaptive regulatory processes like rumination and catastrophization
Patterns of household electricity consumption in Norway as a function of psychological factors, socio-economic constellations and access to electric appliances
To explore the complexity of household living conditions and their relation to electricity consumption, the socio-technical constellations they create for themselves and the perceived ease of saving electricity, we conducted a clustering analysis to categorise Norwegian participants in an electricity-saving programme based on environmental concerns, personal norms and socio-economic parameters. We also explored if the household clusters differed …
Social skills and symptoms of anxiety disorders from preschool to adolescence
BACKGROUND: Prior research, mostly cross-sectional or prospective studies with short follow-up periods, has indicated that childhood anxiety is associated with difficulties with social interaction. However, the etiological role of social skills in the development of anxiety in childhood remains unknown. Moreover, it is not known whether childhood anxiety impedes the development of age-appropriate social skills. METHODS: The relation between anxie…
The contribution of transdiagnostic vulnerability factors in patients with chronic insomnia
The findings support the role of transdiagnostic factors, especially physical concerns, repetitive negative thinking, and neuroticism in chronic insomnia. Future research using longitudinal designs is required to verify the causal status of transdiagnostic variables
Dimensions of Identity Development Scale
The present study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties and gender invariance of the Iranian version of the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS). A total of 1453 adolescents (50.8% female; 14-18 years old, mean = 15.48) participated in a cross-sectional study and completed the DIDS and the Youth Self-Report of behavior problems. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the six-factor model of the DIDS, echoing past stu…
The Explanation of Adolescent Delinquent Behaviors Based on Jessor's Problem Behavior Theory (PBT) in Iran
This study tested the generality of Problem Behavior Theory (PBT) in explaining adolescents' problem behavior in Iran. Data were collected from 392 adolescents (M age = 15.97, SD = 1.12, 55.4% girls) who completed the Adolescent Health and Development Questionnaire (AHDQ) to assess the individual vulnerability, opportunity risk availability, perceived support, and delinquent behaviors. Results indicated that individual vulnerability and opportuni…
Causes of Divorce in the Marriage Phase From the Viewpoint of Couples Referred to Iran’s Family Courts

This study aims to investigate the causes of divorce in the marriage phase from the viewpoint of couples who have been referred to family courts. To do so, in a qualitative design and based on the content analysis approach, 57 people who had been referred to family courts were selected through a purposive sampling method and were studied through semistructured intervie…
An Empirical Test of a Diffusion Framework for School‐based Prevention
This is a 3‐year, quasi‐experimental trial of an intervention diffusion framework. There were 11 intervention and 10 control junior high schools located in either a large Swedish city or the Swedish countryside. Multilevel structural equation modeling was used to evaluate a 2‐level model (1,337 students nested in 85 classrooms) for each outcome domain: internalizing and externalizing problems, substance use, socioemotional competence, and percept…
Self-Efficacy in Persian Adolescents
This study was designed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Persian version of the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C) among Iranian adolescents. The scale was translated into Persian and administered to 946 high school students (49.8% girls, ages 14 through 19). Participants also completed the Child Depression Inventory, Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, and Spielberger’s State–Trait Anxiety Inventory. Finally, participa…
