Background: The gastrointestinal tract, as one of the most important organs of the body, has its own diseases that involved many people. Therefore, the present study seeks to investigate the effectiveness acceptance and commitment therapy based on cognitive-emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility among gastrointestinal patients. Materials and Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group was unbalanced and the statistical population of this study was all gastrointestinal patients in Sari who referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in 2020 and its sample included 30 people (15 people for the experimental group and 15 people for the control group), who were selected using the available sampling method. Then, the members of the experimental group were treated for 8 sessions based on acceptance and commitment and the control group did not receive any treatment. Research instruments included the Cognitive-Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (Garnowski et al, 2001) and Cognitive Flexibility (Dena and Venedrwal, 2010). And the statistical method of this research was multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results of multivariable covariance analysis showed that acceptance and commitment therapy was effective on cognitive-emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility and significantly improved cognitive-emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility in gastrointestinal patients. Conclusion: According to the research findings, acceptance and commitment therapy can be used as an effective method to promote cognitive-emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility in gastrointestinal patients.

Abstract The study is an explanatory sequential mixed method design aimed at understanding the relationship between difficulties in regulating emotions and suicidal behaviors. Furthermore, we explored their pattern of social media engagement to identify cues or indications, if any. The quantitative component consists of 100 young adults (18-30 years) sampled using convenience and snowball sampling techniques. The Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire (SBQ) were administered. Spearman rank-order correlation analysis establishes a moderate positive correlation (rs (100) = .400, p < .0005) between difficulties in regulating emotions and suicidal behaviors. Furthermore, for the qualitative component, 15 participants were chosen, with five in each category of 1) difficulty regulating emotions and suicidal behaviors, 2) difficulty regulating emotions but no suicidal behaviors and 3) no difficulty regulating emotions but suicidal behaviors. Their active social media account was accessed with consent, and semiotic analysis of their posts from June 2020 to February 2021 was performed, as data collection spanned the timespan. Saussure and Pierce’s concept of semiotic analysis is adopted as the framework for the analysis. The results reveal some common and specific categories of signified in the domain of interpersonal relationships, intrapersonal relationships, coping activities, social implications, thought process/cognitions and attitudinal modifications. The connotations and myths associated with the same are also explored within the cultural framework. The results are then triangulated with the quantitative component to provide a broader understanding of the intricate links between the variables.

AbstractPrevious studies in adults showed heterogeneous results regarding the associations of personality with intelligence and executive functions (EF). In children, there is a lack of studies investigating the relations between personality and EF. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the relations between the Big Five personality traits, EF, and intelligence in a sample of children (Experiment 1) and young adults (Experiment 2). A total of 155 children (Experiment 1, mean age = 9.54 years) and 91 young adults (Experiment 2, mean age = 23.49 years) participated in the two studies. In both studies, participants performed tasks measuring working memory (WM), inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and fluid intelligence and completed a personality questionnaire. In Experiment 1, we found a negative relation between neuroticism and intelligence. In Experiment 2, we found a positive relation between conscientiousness and intelligence and a positive relation between conscientiousness and cognitive flexibility. Our results suggest a complex interplay between personality factors, EF, and intelligence both in children as well as in young adults.
