The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and suicidal tendency with a moderating Role of self-critical and dependency among students.The study method was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate and postgraduate students of Golestan University (N = 3757), of which 380 were sampled according to the Morgan table by proportional stratified random sampling. The research instruments were Blatt Depressive Experiences Questionnaire, Beck suicidal tendencies Questionnaire, and Hazan and Shavar Attachment Styles Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between avoidant style and self-criticism and suicidal tendency and there is a positive and significant relationship between anxiety attachment style and self-critical attachment, and suicidal tendency, but there is a negative relationship between avoidant style and dependency. Also, Also, model fitting indicators confirms the role of mediator of dependency and self-critical in the relationship between anxiety and avoidance attachment styles with suicidal tendencies. According to the results, avoidant and anxiety attachment styles in negative situations with dependency and self-criticism are suitable components for the rate of suicidal tendency in students.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of group cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodrama on reducing cognitive symptoms of social anxiety. This research is a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. In this study, 60 students who met the criteria of social anxiety were randomly divided into three groups of 20, including two experimental groups and a control group. All three groups were assessed with Social Anxiety Questionnaire of Connor (2000), Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale-Brief Form of Leary (1983), Focus of Attention Questionnaire of Woody & et al (1997) and Levels of Self-Criticism Scale of Thompson & Zuroff (2004). After 12 sessions of 2 hours of cognitive-behavioral group therapy and psychodrama intervention separately in the experimental groups and nonintervention in the control group, Cognitive variables were assessed again. Findings showed that cognitive-behavioral intervention and psychodrama both significantly reduced the fear of negative evaluation, self-focused attention and self- Criticism in experimental groups compared to the control group. This difference was not significant between the experimental groups. The results showed that both methods are effective in reducing cognitive symptoms of social anxiety and can be used alternatively and depending on conditions should be used in different groups, including students

Due to the high rate of self-injury in adolescents in 2022 and its destructive effect, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dialectical behavior therapy on self-criticism and self-compassion of adolescents with a history of self-injury behaviors. The design of the present study is a single-subject experiment with several baselines. The target population was girls who were referred to education centers in 2021. As sample, 3 female adolescents in Shiraz with a history of self-injury behaviors were selected by purposive sampling. Research tools included inventory of statements about self-injury (ISAS) of Klonsky and Glenn (2009), self-criticism questionnaires (FSCRS) of Gilbert et al (2004), Neff) Self-compassion questionnaires (SCS) (2003), and structured clinical interviews for personality disorders (SCID-5 PD) (2014). Each person was randomly assigned to the baseline stage over a period of two, three, or four weeks. Adolescents then received 16 sessions of treatment and also their parents received 5 sessions of therapy and after one month a follow-up was carried out. Dialectical behavior therapy was effective in reducing self-criticism and increasing self-compassion in all three clients after treatment, but the stability of the treatment effect remained only for the first and second clients whose parents involved in therapy regularly. It seems that the application of dialectical behavior therapy skills with the cooperation and support of parents can be associated with a decrease in self-criticism and increased self-compassion in female adolescents with a history of self-injury behaviors.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of self-criticism in the relationship between narcissism and suicidal thoughts in adolescents. The current research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population in this research was all boys and girls aged 14 to 18 in Ilam city, 374 of whom were selected using Cochran's sample size determination form by convenience sampling method. The information of this research was collected through Thompson Self-Criticism Questionnaire 2004(LOSC), Ames Narcissism Questionnaire 2006(NPI-16) and Beck Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire 1979(BSSI). Structural equation analysis (SEM) and Sobel test were used for data analysis. The results showed that the direct effect of narcissism and suicidal thoughts (P=0.001), narcissism and self-criticism (P=0.005), self-criticism and suicidal thoughts (P=0.002) and the indirect effect of narcissism and suicidal thoughts with mediation Self-criticism is meaningful. The research model had a favorable value and the research results showed that there is a significant relationship between narcissism and suicidal thoughts based on the mediating role of self-criticism in teenagers، In other words, with the increase of self-criticism in narcissistic teenagers, the amount of suicidal thoughts increases.
