Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two methods of training emotional regulation skills and working memory exercises on the reading performance of students with reading disabilities. The method of this study was experimental design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all students with a reading disorder, who had been referred to counseling centers of the Tehran Education Directorate in spring of 1396. Then, these students were randomly assigned to three groups of 15 (one control group and two experimental groups). An interventional program for training emotional regulation skills and work memory exercises was conducted on the experimental groups in 10 sessions. Sampling was done by simple random sampling. Also, for assessing reading difficulties, the revised IQ Wechsler scale was used for children in the third edition, and the reading and dyslexia test was used. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The findings showed Training of emotional adjustment skills and work memory exercises both at the level (p˂01/0) has been effective in reducing the reading difficulties of students with reading learning disorder. However, the effectiveness of working memory training method was more than that of emotional adjustment skills, and this difference was statistically significant. Both educational and interventional techniques are effective in solving the reading problems of primary school students with learning disabilities.

Abstract
The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy(CBT) and unified transdiagnostic treatment on the cognitive-emotional regulation of adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder. The quasi-experimental study was carried out with a pre-test-post-test design, with a control group and a two-month follow-up. The statistical population included all teenagers who were referred to Khorramabad counseling centers between December 1400 and July 1401, and who received a definitive diagnosis of GAD from the psychologist and psychiatrist of the center. 45 people were purposive sampling method selected and placed in two experimental groups and one control group(15 people in each group). The first and second experimental groups, respectively, received unified transdiagnostic treatment and CBT during 12 sessions. The research tools were cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire(GERQ) (Garnefski & et al,2006). The data were analyzed by the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni’s post hoc test. The results showed that both unified transdiagnostic treatment and cbt significantly increased adaptive emotion regulation and decreased maladaptive emotion regulation compared to the control group(P<0.01) and the effect of both intervention methods remained until the follow-up stage (2 months). Also, there is no significant difference between the effects of the two methods (P>0.01). Thus, an important step can be taken in reducing the consequences caused by the lack of emotion cognitive regulation in GAD by using any of the therapeutic approaches of CBT and unified transdiagnostic for emotion regulation in adolescents with GAD.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of emotional regulation in the relationship between attachment and children's eating behaviors. The present research method was the descriptive-correlation type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population was made up of children referred to nutrition clinics in Tabriz city in 1401. 240 people were selected as a sample using the available sampling method. The research tools included a children's eating behavior questionnaire (CEBQ) by Wardell et al. (2001), an emotion regulation checklist (ERC) by Shields and Cicetti (1998), and an inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) by Armsden and Greenberg (1989). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed the optimal fit of the research model. The results showed a significant direct effect of attachment on instability and adaptive emotion regulation (P=0.001) and no significant direct effect on children's eating behaviors (P=0.08). Also, the direct effect of adaptive emotion regulation on children's eating behaviors was not significant (p=0.21), but the direct effect of instability on eating behaviors was significant (p=0.001). Attachment showed a significant indirect effect on children's eating behaviors with the mediation of instability (P<0.05), but adaptive emotion regulation did not show a significant mediating role in the relationship between attachment and children's eating behaviors (P<0.05). These results show that instability in emotion regulation significantly mediates the relationship between attachment and children's eating behaviors.
