  Objective: Feeding and eating disorders, a relatively common psychiatric disorder primarily observed in late adolescence and young adulthood, are characterized by abnormal eating patterns and cognitive distortions related to food and weight. Feeding and eating disorders are one of the most critical issues that individuals, especially youth and adolescents, grapple with today. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body image satisfaction and feeding and eating problems in female students at Islamic Azad University, Lahijan Branch. Methods: This study employed a descriptive correlational design. The population of the study consisted of female students at Islamic Azad University, Lahijan Branch, during the academic year 2023-2024, from whom 348 were selected using convenience sampling. Research data were collected using the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) and the Satisfaction with Body-Image (SWBI) Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and SPSS version 27 software at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed a negative relationship between body image satisfaction and feeding and eating problems (r = -0.72, P < 0.01). Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that body image satisfaction leads to a reduction in feeding and eating problems.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the influence of mothers' personality traits and parenting styles on behavioral problems in adolescent girls, mediated by the family's emotional climate. Methods: The sample consisted of 150 participants selected via multi-stage cluster random sampling from schools. Data were gathered using the Quay Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC), NEO Personality Inventory, Baumrind's Parenting Styles Questionnaire and Hillburn Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire. Analysis was performed using Smart PLS-3. Results: Findings revealed that among personality traits, openness positively impacted family emotional climate, while the assertive parenting style also enhanced it. In contrast, the authoritarian style had a negative effect. Conscientiousness and extraversion negatively affected behavioral problems, while openness positively influenced them. Additionally, the family emotional climate negatively impacted behavioral issues. However, the indirect effect of personality traits and parenting styles on behavioral problems via family emotional climate was not significant. Conclusion: These insights can aid in improving family emotional climate and addressing behavioral challenges in adolescent girls by focusing on mothers' personality traits and parenting approaches.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment on internalized shame, anxiety sensitivity, and alexia in infertile women. Methods:  The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all the infertile women of Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital in Zahedan city in 2022. The sample size was 40 infertile women who were selected through available sampling. They were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (20 experimental subjects and 20 control subjects). The participants in the experimental group received 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment-based treatment, each lasting 60 minutes, while the control group did not receive any intervention. To collect data from the questionnaire, Taylor and Cox's (1998) anxiety sensitivity, Rajabi and Abbasi's internalized shame questionnaire (2013), and Toronto Besharat's personality disorder questionnaire (2007) were used. The covariance analysis method was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the treatment based on acceptance and commitment led to a significant decrease in internal shame, anxiety sensitivity, and dyslexia in infertile women in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Also, the results of the covariance analysis showed that it is possible to benefit from treatment based on acceptance and commitment to reduce internalized shame, anxiety sensitivity, and dyslexia in infertile women.
