Abstract
Aim and Background: Shame is one of the human emotions related to many mental disorders. However, there is no reliable tool in Persian that measures both internal and external shame simultaneously. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Internal and External Shame Questionnaire in students.
Methods and Materials: The research design was descriptive-correlational, More precisely, it was the validation of the test. The statistical population comprised students of University of Tabriz in the academic year 2023-2024. Considering the number of variables, 340 individuals were selected using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data collection was conducted using Ferreira et al.'s (2020) Internal and External Shame Questionnaire (EISS). Data analysis included assessments of internal consistency, confirmatory factor validity, construct validity, convergent validity, and the correlation of each item's score with other items. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Amos version 22 software.
Findings: The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the scale has a two-factor structure and possesses good confirmatory validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.71 for internal shame, 0.78 for external shame, and 0.85 for the total scale. Additionally, the average variance extracted (AVE) for scale factors and the composite reliability index (CR) demonstrated that the questionnaire has acceptable construct validity and convergent validity.
Conclusions: In general, the 8-item questionnaire for internal and external shame shows an acceptable fit with the data, and the goodness-of-fit indicators confirm its validity. Therefore, it can be used as a valid tool to assess internal and external shame in students.

Abstract
Aim and Background: Obesity has spread among societies and most countries and has become a general and global issue. The present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of a combined weight loss program on cravings and anthropometric indicators in obese women.
Methods and Materials: The current research was semi-experimental with a pre-test design the test boy was with the control group. The statistical population included all obese women who referred to the nutrition clinic of Ardabil city in 1402. Considering that at least 15 samples are considered in experimental research, as a result, 45 obese women (15 people in the treatment situation with integrated weight loss program and 15 people in the situation without treatment) were randomly selected and placed in the group. Each of the experimental group was treated separately daily for 50 minutes and with 14 sessions, and the control group did not receive treatment. The members of each group were evaluated using the Cepeda-Benito craving questionnaire and anthropometric indices in the pre-test and post-test stages, and multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.
Findings: Based on the obtained results, the integrated weight loss program had a positive and significant effect on food cravings, Body Mass Index and WHtR index (P<0.001), so that the scores of the subjects of the experimental group decreased significantly in the post-test of these variables, but on WHR and AVI had no significant effect (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it seems that the integrated weight loss program method can be used in weight loss and lifestyle change programs and improving community health.

Abstract
Aim and Background: Weight-based rejection sensitivity is a significant psychological factor in individuals with overweight and obesity, which can have considerable negative impacts on their mental and physical health. this study aimed to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Weight-Based Rejection Sensitivity Scale (W-RS) in overweight and obese individuals.
Methods and Materials: The research followed a descriptive validation design. The study population included overweight and obese individuals, from which 372 participants with a body mass index over 25 were selected using convenience sampling. Participants completed the Weight-Based Rejection Sensitivity questionnaire. The scale's factor structure was assessed through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, while test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and convergent validity were also evaluated. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 24 softwares.
Findings: The exploratory factor analysis results indicated that the scale consists of two factors: "Interpersonal Sensitivity" and "Situational Sensitivity." The confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor structure identified. The test-retest reliability coefficients for the subscales and the overall scale ranged from 0.85 to 0.91 Additionally, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were between 0.92 and 0.95, indicating strong internal consistency. A composite reliability above 0.7 and an average variance extracted above 0.5 further confirmed the scale's convergent validity.
Conclusions: The confirmatory factor analysis fit indices indicated that the two-factor model of the Weight-Based Rejection Sensitivity Scale showed a good fit with the data. Thus, the scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing anxious expectations of rejection in overweight and obese individuals
