Abstract
There are Various motives that some of them can help to resolving interpersonal conflicts and others may prevent its resolve. According to the regulation style theory, the motivation for change, i.e. the desire to come out of the current state of conflict, can help to conflict resolution, but there is an opposite motivation, one that prevents the resolution of the conflict, and it is the motivation for contemplation, i.e. the desire to explore and review existing state. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that for the conflict to be resolved, the change motivation must be stronger than the contemplation motivation. In a correlational design, first the change and contemplation motivations were measured in a sample of 97 undergraduates from Islamic Azad University-Buin Zahra Branch (N » 4000) using the Motivation Style Questionnaire, and then the participants were presented with hypothetical stories about interpersonal conflicts. Regression analyses showed that the priority of change motivation to contemplation motivation: 1. Has a positive relationship with reconciliation motive and a negative relationship with bad feelings, and 2. Reduces the damaging effects of bad feelings on reconciliation motive.

Abstract
Psychological stress is common in many chronic diseases, and considerable evidence suggests its role as a serious risk factor in the etiology and course of diabetes. Therefore, the present study aimed to systematically review and Qualitative meta-analysis on the role of stress in the etiology of diabetes in Iran and other countries. The data in this qualitative meta-analysis was all articles and theses related to keywords and in line with the purpose of the research. Database searches were conducted between 2010 and 2019 with keywords such as systematic review, Qualitative meta-analysis, stress, diabetes as well as searches based on the amount of citations of researchers in this field. The analysis of the findings of the researches showed that the researches have both significant and prominent features both structurally and methodologically and in terms of content. All researches that were analyzed and evaluated in the present study included 35 researches, out of which were 94.28% article research, and 5.71 were dissertations. The findings of the study showed that the most research was in the period 2016-2019, with 24 (68.57%) researches. The results of the present meta-analysis indicated that stress and diabetes interacted through cognitive, behavioral, physiological and biochemical systems and could interact bilaterally. Stress can affect self-regulation and self-control by controlling eating and diet-related behaviors in diabetic patients, resulting in lack of glycemic control and exacerbation of physical and psychological problems in these patients. Stress can also exacerbate the problems of diabetic patients with irregular sleep, inactivity and overeating. In fact, the relationship between stress and diabetes is a two-way relationship, each of which can cause the other to lose control of the situation and lead to damaging physical and psychological damage. The findings of the present study could provide psychologists, counselors, and mental health professionals with the opportunity to discuss and design appropriate treatment protocols to reduce the negative consequences of diabetes, to make more choices for the treatment of various types of cognitive impairment. and the psychology of these patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the structural relationships between attachment styles and internet addiction, regarding meditating the role of self-esteem. This study was descriptive-correlational. Participants were 300 undergraduate students of Tabriz University in 2018-19, selected by multistage cluster sampling. The instruments were the internet Addiction Questionnaire (Yang, 1998), Adults Attachment Inventory (Hazan and Shaver, 1987) and Self-esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1979). Data were analyzed by using the structural equation modeling method and the results showed that the measured model has a relatively favorable fit with the theoretical model (RMSEA=0.04, CFI=0.91, GFI=0.92). Attachment styles, in addition to their direct role, could significantly explain the symptoms of internet addiction through self-esteem. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that deficits in parental functions and insecure relations with caregivers affect individuals' self-esteem, and fluctuating self-esteem is associated with problematic behaviors like extreme tendency to the internet. It is suggested to consider the role of attachment styles and self-esteem in prevention and treatment interventions of internet addiction.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the resilience and emotional self-regulation and stress coping strategies in high school girls and boys. The research method was causative -comparative. The statistical population of the study included all girls and boys of high school in district 11 of Tehran in the school year of 96-97. The sample size was 210 (105 girls and 105 boys) who were selected by cluster sampling method. Thus, two girls 'and two boys' schools were randomly selected from the high schools and the questionnaires were distributed among the students. In this study, three following Questionnaires were used: Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RSC), Cognitive Emotion Regulation (CERQ), and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situation(CISS). Data were analyzed using two independent t-tests. Results showed that there was a significant difference between self-regulation scores in girls and boys and in girls more than boys (P <0.05). Also, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of the three coping styles (problem-focused, avoidant, emotion-focused) between male and female students and was higher in girls than boys (P <0.05). But there was no significant difference in mean scores of the resiliency of girls and boys (P <0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that although enhancing these three variables is necessary for boy and girl learning, self-regulation training and coping strategies in male students should be considered more and more.

Abstract
Corona-related anxiety has pervasive effects on various aspects of society. Some people are more receptive to this condition and others experience a lot of negative emotions. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between experiential avoidance and difficulty in emotional regulation with coronary anxiety in Kermanshah. In this study, 317 people answered online through virtual networks to The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (Bond et al. 2007), and the coronavirus anxiety Scale (Lee, 2020). Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that coronary anxiety had a significant positive correlation with difficulty in regulating emotion but had a negative correlation with experience avoidance (p< .0/01). The results of the regression analysis also showed that experimental avoidance and difficulty in emotion regulation predict 0.305 of the variance of coronary anxiety. These results showed that people who have less flexibility show less acceptance of life events and for those who have difficulty controlling their emotions, events like Corona will have a negative effect on them. Therefore, it is necessary to hold online workshops and design appropriate psychological interventions.

Abstract
Currently, one of the main priorities in psychology is to conceptualize the ways in which culture affects psychopathology. The aim of this study was to investigate a suicide in Iranian society and is a systematic review. The results of this study were based on articles published between 2003 and 2016, during a search in databases such as SID, Noormags, Springer, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and using the keywords suicide in Iran, the method and causes of suicide among Iranian subcultures. Finally, 25 articles were analyzed. The findings showed that, contrary to global statistics, suicide attempts are higher among Iranian men. Also, the prevalence, methods, and causes of suicide in Iranian subcultures are different. In general, it can be said that limited studies have been done on culture and psychopathology in our country. Given that understanding the cultural context is essential for effective evaluation, diagnosis, and clinical management of the disorders, it is hoped that this article can highlight the role of culture in psychopathology and provide a basis for comprehensive studies.
