Findings: This study concentrated on the assessment of psychological problems affecting the lives of men with PE. The problems of men with PE were categorized into 8 main themes of ejaculation management, stress, anxiety, marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction, physiological problems, depression, and sexual self-concept.

Given the importance of facial affect recognition in social interactions and contradictory results of researches that have evaluated the emotion recognition of patients with BPD in the past, the aim of the present study was to investigate emotion recognition in individuals with borderline personality symptoms and the relationship between these symptoms and interpersonal interactions in these individuals. Methods and Materials: The study subjects included 30 people; 15 with the symptom of BPD and 15 healthy subjects as control group. Subjects were selected from among the related statistical population through convenience sampling. The Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI) and Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) were completed and facial affect recognition task was conducted on the two groups. Findings: The findings of this study suggest that people with BPD symptoms have poor performance in facial affect recognition compared to their healthy counterparts (F = 1.5, P < 0.001). On the other hand, the results indicate that these subjects do not have defects in the recognition of all negative emotions, but are specifically defective in the recognition of disgust (F = 2.5, P < 0.010) and anger (F = 4.05, P < 0.020). Furthermore, they showed more interpersonal problems than the control group (F = 0.01, P < 0.001).

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.
