Abstract
Aim and Background: In recent years, problems related to emotion regulation inability have led many researchers to study and determine variables associated with this issue. One of these variables is family functions. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to predict difficulties in emotion regulation based on developmental family functions. Methods and Materials: This was a descriptive, correlational study. The study subjects included 201 parents of elementary school students in the academic year 2014-2015 in Tehran, Iran. The participants were selected through convenience sampling. The participants completed the Developmental Family Function Assessment Questionnaire (DFFAQ) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-16). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis in SPSS software. Findings: The results showed that the dimensions of developmental family functions had significant relationships with some components of difficulties in emotion regulation. Moreover, of the 7 dimensions of developmental family function, 3 dimensions (logical thinking, two-way interaction, and representations of ideas) had predictive power for the components of lack of emotional clarity, emotional rejection, and impulse control and repression. Logical thinking, with the explanation of 10% of variance in the score of lack of emotional clarity, had the highest coefficient of determination for difficulties in emotion regulation. Conclusions: From the findings of this study, it can be inferred that dimensions of developmental family functions were important predictors of difficulties in emotion regulation. Therefore, their consideration in emotion regulation therapy and family education programs can lead to decreased emotion regulation problems and more effective outcomes.

Abstract
Aim and Background: High levels of sexual risk behaviors in young adults constitute a major public health concern and understanding the transition to risky behaviors during emerging adulthood is a challenge for researchers. The present research was aimed to investigate the mediating role of the cognitive emotion regulation strategies in relationship between attachment styles with high-risky sexual behaviors in students of Islamic Azad University of Shiraz.
Methods and Materials: In this correlation and descriptive study with structural equation modeling approach, among all students of Islamic Azad University of Shiraz in the academic year of 2018-2019, 747 students were selected by random cluster sampling method. Data were collected by Risky Sexual Behaviors Questionnaire (RSBQ), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Qquestionnaire (CERQ) and Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ) and then, were analyzed by SPSS and Lisrel software and using structural equation modeling.
Findings: The results showed that the relationship between attachment style and risky sexual behaviors questionnaire is mediated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The rate of fit indices of GFI was equal to 0.95, CFI was equal to 0.98, NFI was equal to 0.97, IFI was equal to 0.98, NNFI was equal to 0.98, AGFI was equal to 0.93, RFI was equal to 0.97 and RMSEA was equal to 0.061, all of which indicated the fitting of the proposed model with the data. The findings also showed that 50% of the variance observed in high-risk sexual behaviors can be explained by combining attachment styles variables, positive emotion regulation strategies, and negative emotion regulation strategies.
Conclusions: The findings of study supported the proposed conceptual model in which the relationship between childhood trauma and fear of happiness was mediated through positive and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies. So considering the role of these predictors and the mediators by professionals, therapists and planners appears to be necessary in work with students and specifically in counseling and treatment centers.

Abstract
Aim and Background: Based on the theories of etiology of self-injury behaviors, several psychological and social multivariate models have been investigated to predict self-injury behaviors in adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self–criticism and distress tolerance in relationship between attachment styles and non-suicidal self-injury behaviors in adolescents.
Methods and Materials: This study was a descriptive-correlational study with structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population consisted of all high school students in Kashmar city in the years 2018-2019. Initially, a sample of 700 students was selected among all high school students were selected by multistage cluster sampling, but the final analysis was performed on 292 students who reported at least one experience of non-suicidal self-injury behaviors. Data were collected using Deliberate Self–Harm Inventory (DSHI), Childhood Attachment to Each Parent Scale (CAEPS), Distress Tolerance Scale (DES) and Forms of-Self–Criticism/Attacking & Self-Reassuring (FSCRS) and were analyzed in SPSS and LISREL software by using structural equation modeling.
Findings: The results showed that the relationship between attachment styles and non-suicidal self-injury behaviors mediated by self-criticism and distress tolerance. The amount of fit indices of GFI, CFI, NFI, IFI, NNFI, AGFI, RFI and RMSEA were equal to 0.94, 0.93, 0.90, 0.93, 0.90, 0.90, 0.89 and 0.071, respectively. The results indicate that the proposed model fits the data well. The findings of the study showed that 34% of the observed variance in non-suicidal self-injury behaviors can be explained through a combination of parent attachment, self-criticism and distress tolerance.
Conclusions: The findings of this study confirmed the mediating role of self-criticism and distress tolerance in the relationship between attachment styles and non-suicidal self-injury behaviors. Thus, it seems necessary for experts, therapists and planners when working with adolescents and specifically in counseling and treatment centers to consider the role of these mediating variables.
