Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of predicting the components of chronic pain based on insecure attachment style, mentalization and emotional regulation with a cross-sectional descriptive design and correlational method and the statistical population includes all patients with chronic pain who were referred the Yalda Clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran from April to August 2020. The research sample consisted of 339 people who were selected by available sampling method and answered the Chronic Pain, adult attachment, mentalization and difficulty in emotion regulation questionnaires. The effect of predictors of difficulties in emotion regulation, mentalization and insecure attachments on pain inability indicates a positive effect of difficulties in emotion regulation (β =0.52) and anxiety insecure attachment (β =0.30) at a significance level of less than 0.05 (Gives p-value (<0.001) and (p-value =0.001). In the study of pain intensity, difficulties in emotion regulation with (β =0.53) and avoidant insecure attachment with (β =0.13) with (p-value <0.001) and (p-value =0.01) indicates significance at the significance level less than 0.05 with a positive value of these two predictor variables. Using these findings, effective measures can be taken to improve and enhance the psychological health of patients with chronic pain.

Abstract
The aim of present study is determining the fit of the obsessive beliefs model based on social perception, theory of mind or mentalization, and empathy with the mediation of emotional regulation in a non-clinical population. The sample consisted of 400 adults aged 25 to 50 in Tehran selected by using the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included OBQ Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire, the Emotion Recognition Task (ERT), Baron and Cohen’s (2001) Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test, Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright's Empathy Quotient Scale (2004), and Kraaij and Garnefski's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2019). According to the results, the exogenous variables of social perception and empathy along with the mediator variable "positive emotion regulation strategies and negative emotion regulation strategies" had a significant effect on the criterion variable i.e. obsessive beliefs. Thus, social perception, empathy and positive emotion regulation strategies were able to predict obsessive beliefs. Among the path coefficients between research variables, the coefficients of the exogenous variable of mentalization on the criterion variable (obsessive beliefs) and negative emotional regulation strategies (as a mediating variable) had no significant effect. These findings have many practical implications both for prevention and providing more comprehensive and better treatments for obsessions.
