Abstract
The goal of this research was an investigation into the implicit and explicit memory bias against negative emotional information processing in adolescents with high and low trait anxiety. To do so, 2 adolescent groups of twenty with high trait (n=20) and low trait (n=20) were selected from a large pole of adolescents using Spielbergr’s State-Trait Anxiety inventory for Children (STAI-C). Following the two groups were matched in terms of variables including age, sex,and education level, Explicit Memory Test(EMT) and Implicit Memory Test(IMT),completing word stems, were used to assess the subjects. The stimulants, emotional items, included two series of threatening and neutral words in EXP and a set of ambiguous words. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between high trait and low trait anxiety groups in terms of subject sensitivity and bias against threatening and neutral stimulants. However, high trait group had completed words stems more than low trait group in implicit memory test. These results indicated the presence of implicit memory bias in high trait group. Generally, the results of the present research are in accord with other researches and support the principles governing memory bias and trait anxiety.

The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics associated with the disease including the severity and complications of the disease and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in patients with ulcerative colitis with and without depressive symptoms. In this case-control study, 272 patients with ulcerative colitis were selected by purposive sampling and based on the scores of Beck-2 Depression Inventory, they were assigned into two groups of patients with depressive symptoms and patients without depressive symptoms. Our tools include demographic questionnaire, Simple Clinical Colits Activity Index, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Results revealed that UC patients with depressive symptoms experience more severe symptoms of UC and more complications related to this disease, including perianal problems than UC patients without depressive symptoms. There was also a significant difference between the two groups in all aspects of cognitive strategies for emotion regulation. According to the results, it can be said that depression and cognitive emotion regulation strategies are among the components related to physical symptoms and mental health of patients with ulcerative colitis. |
