This study mainly aims to investigate the validation and exploring the preliminary psychometric properties of the satisfaction with body image among students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. The other purpose of this study is to compare this component between males and females students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.
Methods and Materials: The research method was descriptive in survey method. The research population (19000 students) was all the students studying in Fedowsi University of Mashhad which in the 2011-2012 academic years in which 362 ones were selected through cluster sampling method at random as the research sample. The Second research population were individuals with good body and bad body who referred to the nutrition center and the body building club (50 subjects each group). To collect data, demographic information and satisfaction with body image questionnaires were used. To analyze data, mean and standard deviation statistics were used in descriptive level, and Pearson’s correlation test, independent sample t-test,
and exploratory factor analysis were used in inferential level.
Findings: The results of independent t-test showed that the scale has credible discriminate validity (t= 27.35, df= 98, P< 0.001). Likewise, the results of the Pearson’s correlation test indicated that the scale has good reliability (r= 0.75, P < 0.001). Also, the Counbach’s alpha coefficient display reliability of the scale (α= 0.91). On the other hand, the factorial analysis authorized one component in this scale. Finally, there is no significant difference between males and females in body image scores (t= 0.99, df= 359, P= 0.325).

Abstract
Aim and Background: The present study was conducted to investigate the informational-motivational-behavioral structural model based on the role of impulsivity moderator among women with body mass index above 25.
Methods and Materials: The present study was a cross-sectional correlation of structural equations. The statistical population of the study was all women referring to diet centers, health centers and sports clubs in Isfahan in 2020-2021, from which 444 people were selected by multi-stage sampling method. A researcher-made information-motivational-behavioral questionnaire and Patton et al.'s (1959) impulsivity questionnaire were used to collect data. Amos software (24V-) was used for data analysis.
Findings: The results showed the moderating role of impulsivity in the mentioned model (X2/df = 3.46, GFI = 0.981, CFI = 0.977, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.073, NFI = 0.970, TLI = 0.928 and AGFI= 0.924). In the three groups of low, medium and high impulsivity, health behavior was influenced by information. In the moderate impulsivity group, health behavior was influenced by motivation. In the three groups of low, medium and high impulsivity, health behavior was affected by behavioral skills. In individuals with low and high impulsivity, information had a significant indirect effect on health behavior through behavioral skills. In individuals with high impulsivity, motivation had a significant indirect effect on health behavior through behavioral skills.
Conclusions: The application of these structures such as information, motivation, behavioral skills and attention to levels of impulsivity can help researchers and therapists in the field to prevent obesity and even design appropriate treatments and good diets.

Research questionnaires included Asher's feeling of loneliness in children and adolescents, Covey and Patterson Behavioral Problems Questionnaire (RBPC) - Revised form, and Maria Kovas Children's Depression (CDI). Analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the research data. All statistical operations of the research were considered using SPSS version 25 software with a significance level of P<0.05.
Findings: The research results showed that after controlling for the effect of the pre-test, the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the two groups is significant for the variable of behavioral problems and depression, and the mean scores of the experimental group in the variable of behavioral problems and depression are also significantly lower than the control group. p > 0.001). Also, the difference in the mean scores of the post-test feeling of loneliness in the two experimental and control groups is significant (P=0.031).
Conclusion: According to the results of the research, it can be said that play therapy is a suitable approach and intervention in reducing behavioral problems, depression and loneliness of deaf children.

Abstract
Aim and Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the central nervous system disorders that poses numerous challenges regarding the psychological adjustment of affected individuals worldwide. Psychological interventions can be utilized to address these challenges. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on the Rutgering approach (delivered in a hybrid format of in-person and online sessions) on health anxiety, death anxiety, and body image in MS patients in Tehran.
Methods and Materials: The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest and follow-up structure for both the intervention and control groups. Using convenience sampling, 30 MS patients registered with a rehabilitation charity in Tehran who scored above the mean on health anxiety, death anxiety, and body image questionnaires were selected. These participants were randomly assigned to two groups of 15. The intervention group received CBT sessions based on the Rutgering et al. (2022) approach in a hybrid in-person and online format.
Findings: The results of repeated measures ANOVA indicated that implementing the hybrid CBT protocol significantly improved health anxiety and body image and reduced death anxiety in MS patients (P = 0.01).
Conclusions: The findings suggest that CBT based on the Rutgering approach is effective in addressing psychological characteristics such as health anxiety, body image, and death anxiety in MS patients. Therefore, it can be considered a complementary treatment alongside other therapeutic methods for MS patients
