The statistical population included the teenagers of Shahrood city in 2023, out of which 300 people were selected by available sampling method. The tools used in this research included risk-taking questionnaires of Iranian teenagers, emotional deficiency and psychological flexibility questionnaire. In order to analyze the research model, the structural equation model was used the findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional inadequacy and the tendency to risky behaviors, and psychological flexibility plays a mediating role in the relationship between emotional insufficiency and the tendency to risky behaviors. Overall, the results showed that the model had a good fit. According to the obtained results, emotional inadequacy and psychological flexibility play an important role in predicting high-risk behaviors of adolescents. Emotional inadequacy and lack of psychological flexibility can increase the incidence and persistence of high-risk behaviors, including drug use, in teenagers.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of sensory-motor integration exercises on balance performance in children with autism spectrum disorder. The quasi-experimental research design was pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the research was all the students of Rasht who were studying in the academic year of 1402-1403. The sample consisted of 30 children (boys and girls) who were selected by the available sampling method and based on the entry and exit criteria of the study and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 people. The children of the experimental group were subjected to an intervention with a package of sensory-motor integration exercises for 12 sessions of 45 minutes, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed by multivariate and univariate covariance analysis methods in SPSS 25 software. The research findings showed that sensory-motor integration exercises improve balance performance in children with autism spectrum disorder (P<0.001). In general, it can be said that the desired intervention has improved the child's deficiency in balance performance by affecting the improvement of sensory coherence and eliminating the problems related to less or more sensitivity than the sensory limit; Therefore, it is suggested to use the intervention program used in this research to improve the balance performance of children with autism spectrum disorder.

Psychosomatic disorders refer to physical symptoms caused by psychological causes. Considering the increase in the prevalence of psychosomatic symptoms in childhood and adolescence, it is important to investigate the underlying factors of this issue. The purpose of this study is to explain the role of alexithymia and parents' conflict resolution style in children's psychosomatic disorders by mediating the quality of the parent-child relationship. In this descriptive-correlational study, 120 parents of children with at least one psychosomatic disorder were selected using the available sampling method, and the Toronto Ataxia Questionnaire, Rahim's conflict resolution style, Pianta's parent-child relationship, and Takata's psychosomatic complaints completed the collected data were analyzed by SPSS and smartPLS software. According to the results of the research on emotional dyslexia, parents' conflict resolution style and the quality of the child's parent relationship have a significant relationship directly with the children's psychosomatic manifestations. Also, emotional dyslexia and parents' conflict resolution style have a significant relationship with children's psychosomatic manifestations indirectly and by mediating the quality of parent-child relationship (P<0.50). The structural model of the role of alexithymia and parents' conflict resolution style in children's psychosomatic manifestations with the mediation of parent-child relationship quality had a good fit, and the mediator's role in the model was confirmed. In general, the family environment and parents' characteristics, including emotional ataxia, how to resolve conflicts, and the quality of the parent-child relationship play a role in children's psychosomatic disorders.

Considering the prevalence of infertility and the increase in child adoption in Iran, and given the needs of children and adolescents for having appropriate families, this research intended to identify the psychological problems faced by Iranian families adopting children and offer solutions for them to adapt themselves to these problems as a step in enhancing the well-being of the adopted children and of the families adopting them. The descriptive method and the systematic grounded theory introduced by Strauss and Corbin were used in this study. In the first step, interviews were held in 2022 with 13 adoptive families to identify their problems. In the second step, interviews were held with experts.They offered their proposed solutions for the adaptation. The research was done by observing ethical principles and validation, using MAXQDA2020. Four concepts were extracted in the problem identification step: the legal-psychological problems, and the problems related to the growth of the child in an environment of social harms, to attitude and worldview, and to resilience of the adoptive couple. From the second step, solutions were extracted: explanation of the what and how and why related to adoption in Iran, implementation solutions for solving the problems, intervention solutions for enhancing family resilience, and solutions for changing attitudes. It was found that the problems related to attitude and worldview constituted the causal conditions of other problems. In conclusion, the final model was presented. Enriching knowledge, improving attitudes, increasing parents' resilience, removing implementation obstacles, should be prioritized. Manuscript profile

The statistical population of the current study was single-child adolescent living in Tehran. The process of interviews continued until the saturation of the data was reached 14 participants. The method chosen for the analysis of the obtained data was the seven-step Claysey method. The findings of the present research provide four main categories of self-perception, interpersonal factors in the family, interpersonal factors with friends and interpersonal factors in school. We have 8 sub-categories obtained from this research. Also, 55 conceptual structures were among other findings of this research. The results of the present study showed that although single parenthood is a period that can bring benefits to individuals, especially teenagers, but in practice single parent teenagers have faced many challenges and issues.
