Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between the desire to help others and resilience with growth after trauma with assessing the moderating role of guilt related to trauma in people with a history of covid-19 disease in close relative. For this purpose, 189 people who had one of their relatives admitted to the special care department of the hospital due to the covid-19 disease in the last six months were selected in an accessible method and completed the post-traumatic growth, resilience, trauma related guilt and altruism questionnaires. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, trauma related guilt did not play a moderating role in the relationship between resilience and prosocial behaviors. In contrast, trauma-related guilt had a moderating role in the relationship between post-traumatic growth and willingness to help others. The conclusion from the findings of the present study can be indicative of the role of interpersonal and intrapersonal factors in promoting adaptation and even growth of people following traumatic experiences.

Abstract
The aim of the research was to investigate addiction to virtual social networks with the mediating role of harmful eating behaviors and negative body image in athletes. The method of this research is a correlational design based on the analysis of structural relationships. The statistical sample in this research was 309 athletes from Tehran in 1402. Research data were collected using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (2016), Littleton's Body Image Fear Inventory (2005), Exercise Dependence Scale (2002), and Nutrition Attitude Test (1982). Questionnaires were also completed online. The findings showed that addiction to virtual social networks with the mediating role of harmful eating behaviors can predict sports addiction, but addiction to virtual social networks could not predict sports addiction with the mediating role of negative body image. According to the above results, we can understand the importance of harmful eating behaviors in the path of addiction to virtual networks and addiction to sports, and by targeting these components, we can help to improve addiction to sports.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the structural relationships of treatment adherence based on emotional self-awareness in patients with psoriasis and to examine the mediating role of perceived social support. This research employed a descriptive-correlational design using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included psoriasis patients referred to three specialized dermatology hospitals in Tehran. Convenience sampling was used, and ultimately, 250 psoriasis patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Various tools were utilized for data collection, including the Treatment Adherence Questionnaire (Ziaei, 2011), the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (Zimet et al., 1988), and the Emotional Self-Awareness Questionnaire (Reef et al., 2007).The results of the structural equation modeling analysis indicated that emotional self-awareness has a direct and significant effect on treatment adherence in patients with psoriasis. Additionally, perceived social support and concerns about body image also had a direct impact on treatment adherence. Furthermore, the findings revealed that emotional self-awareness indirectly and significantly affects treatment adherence through the mediation of body image concerns and perceived social support.These results highlight the importance of considering psychological and social dimensions, such as emotional self-awareness and social support, in the treatment process of patients with psoriasis, as they can improve treatment adherence and therapeutic outcomes.

Emotion-focused therapy was implemented by a psychologist for experimental group. In order to analyze the data in this study, multivariate analysis of covariance test was used to examine hypotheses. results showed that after removing effects of pretest, there was a significant difference in the linear combination of dependent variables between the two groups studied (Wilks' Lambda = 0.780, F = 3.23, 90.432, p = 0.001, and eta squared = 0.922). Univariate analysis of covariance tests also showed that adolescents in the experimental group showed significant improvement in posttest scores of impulsivity, social adjustment, and social media addiction compared to adolescents in control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that emotion-focused therapy can be an effective treatment for adolescents who attempt suicide

Abstract
With the revolution in the world of computer networks and the evolution of new technologies, online games have replaced traditional physical games and video games. The present study aimed to conceptualize online game addiction in Iranian adolescents based on grounded theory through semi-structured interviews. The participants were 20 adolescent boys aged 13 to 18 years old in Tehran who were selected through theoretical purposive sampling. MAXQUDA-10 software and Strauss and Corbin's (1998) thematic analysis approach including open, axial, selective, and theoretical coding were used to analyze the data and extract themes. The results of the interview analysis showed that the categories of filling leisure time, personal, communication, fame, and wealth acquisition were the most important causes of online game addiction in adolescents. The categories of personal, work, and marketing, and perceived social support constituted important areas of online game addiction. Improving attention and concentration, controlling anger, being cheerful and relieving depression, making friends, becoming professional, and becoming famous were the positive consequences of online gaming addiction, and ultimately, lack of time for daily activities, academic and personal decline, damage to physical health, and not being understood by the family constituted the negative consequences of online gaming addiction. It can be concluded that online gaming addiction in adolescents is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that is influenced by individual, social, and family factors.

Abstract
| The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise interventions on reducing aggressive behaviors and to understand the associated biological, neural, and psychosocial mechanisms. Conducted as a systematic review and analysis of selected studies, primarily focusing on moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise, the research examined hormonal markers, neurostructural changes, and psychosocial outcomes related to aggression. Findings revealed that regular exercise reduces cortisol levels and modulates testosterone ratio, while increasing endorphin secretion and enhancing serotonergic function, which collectively contribute to decreased irritability and impulsivity. Furthermore, regular exercise promotes neuroplasticity, elevates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, and increases hippocampal volume, leading to significant improvements in prefrontal cortex function, crucial for impulse regulation and response inhibition. Psychosocially, group exercises strengthen social support, enhance self-efficacy, and improve conflict resolution skills, fostering sustained reduction in aggressive behaviors. These results indicate that multidimensional exercise interventions have a significant role in aggression reduction and mental health promotion, providing a strong foundation for developing therapeutic and rehabilitative programs. |
