Abstract
This research examine the relationship between death anxiety with extrinsic aspirations in two studies. First study is descriptive and correlational. 457 students were selected by convenience sampling method and completed the death anxiety scale and aspiration index. Second study conducted in an experimental method with 2 Group, Post-test Comparison. Participants were 104 students selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups and with using the task of called death thoughts and the aspiration index tested the effect of mortality salience on extrinsic aspirations among them. In the first study with using the Pearson correlation coefficient a significant positive association were observed between attractiveness with death anxiety and its subscales. The results of MANOVA in the second study showed that mortality salience decreased importance of extrinsic aspirations in the experimental group in comparison with the control group. Also, the effectiveness of mortality salience on attractiveness was significant. The results in accordance with the principles of humanist and existential views and Self-Determination Theory and Terror Management Theory emphasize to awakening role of death awareness on the avoiding of pursuit of non-authentic life style (pursuit of unhealthy aspirations).

Abstract
Separation anxiety disorder has high prevalence and lead to demolishing effects on quality of life, the aim of the present research was to examine the confirmatory factor analysis of adult separation anxiety disorder questionnaire in Iranian university students. Among three hundred and ten students, 180 males and 130 females were selected by convenient sampling method and responded to adult separation anxiety disorder questionnaire and depression, anxiety and stress scale. The results of the present research showed that factor analysis using principle component method lead to extract 5 factors of ASA-27. Factors included: separation anxiety, worry about significant others, sleep disturbances, talking a lot, worry about hurting significant others. Reliability of the questionnaire via Cronbach's alpha was 0/88 and correlations between scores of test-retest were 0/64 that indicates high reliability. The result of the present research showed that Persian version of adult separation anxiety disorder and its 5 subscales has desirable reliability in university samples and is appropriate tool for screening this disorder.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare early parental death, ADHD, and precarious employment among adults with and without history of suicide attempt. It was a case control study. Its statistical population included all the individuals with history of suicide attempt who referred to public section of I ranian hospitals in Gilan province. Among these patients, 30 adults with history of suicide attempt were chosen by census method and they were compared with 30 adults without the history of suicide attempt.For collecting data, Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and a researcher made questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed by univariate variance test and Chi-square test. The results showed that people with history of suicide attempt, had more precarious employments and they were more suffered from ADHD than people without history of suicide attempt, but there was not any meaningful difference in the rate of early parental death between two groups. These findings showed that history of suicide attempt and ADHD are probably important risk factors in suicide attempt. So, treatment of this disorder and improvement of work status can reduce the suicide risk in future.

Abstract
The study aimed to explore teaching cognitive emotion regulation strategies' effectiveness on cognitive processing and distress tolerance in female students with general anxiety. The research method used was a pre-test-post-test experiment with a control group. The research sample comprised all second-year secondary school students with general anxiety in Ardabil city during the academic year of 2023-2024. Employing purposive sampling, thirty students with general anxiety were randomly split into the experimental (15 individuals) and control (15 individuals) groups. The experimental group received eight 90-minute sessions of the cognitive emotion regulation strategies training program (Gross and Thompson, 2007), and the control group, which was on the waiting list, did not receive any training. In the data collection, Cruz's (1999) cognitive processing questionnaire and Simmons and Gaher's (2005) emotional distress tolerance scale were used. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that after controlling the pre-test effects, there was a significant difference between the post-test average of the two groups in cognitive processing (P<0.001; F=27.50) and distress tolerance (P<0.001; F=17.51). Training in cognitive emotion regulation strategies proves effective in enhancing cognitive processing and distress tolerance among students with general anxiety. Based on the research findings, utilizing cognitive emotion regulation training can help alleviate issues in individuals with generalized anxiety.
