The present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the research included transgender individuals in Iranian cities in the time frame of 2022-2023. Among these, 266 individuals were selected through purposive and snowball sampling methods and responded to questionnaires. The data collection instruments were the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSTS), the Multi-dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Zimet (MSPSS), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). The data collected using the Pearson correlation method and the research model were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique with SPSS-28 and AMOS-24 software. The results of data analysis showed that perceived social support has a negative and significant relation-ship with the risk of suicide in transgender individuals (P&lt;0/05); depression has a positive and significant relationship with the risk of suicide in transgender individuals (P&lt;0/05). Perceived social support and depression ex-plain 0/67 of the variance in suicide risk among transgender individuals; social support, both directly and indirectly through depression, is able to predict suicide risk in transgender individuals.</p>http://psychological-research.com/Article/52945perception of social support depression transsexual risk of suicideper Psychological Researchپژوهش های روانشناختی1019-9616 1019-96162026-022522951articlemaryam zareimaryamzareie156@gmail.com1fatemeh jafarijafari7614@gmail.com2tayyebe jafarijafari6311@gmail.com3کریم نیک فرkarim.nikfar@gmail.com4Payam Noor Islamshahr University, TehranPayam Noor Zarinshahr University of IsfahanAzad University of Najafabad-Isfahan-Iran<p>From the perspective of develop-mental psychology, adolescence can be considered a period of review of psychological symptoms. The aim of this study is to investigate the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship bet-ween attachment styles and risky behaviors of adolescents. The statistical population is all adolescents in the first and second years of high school in Khuzestan province in the academic year 2022-23, of which 349 people were selected through convenience sampling. The measurement tools included the Risk-Awareness Scale (IARS), the Attachment Style Scale (AAQ), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale (CERQ-P). The results of simultaneous and stepwise covariance analysis showed that there is an inverse relationship between difficulty in cognitive emotion regulation and risky behavior, and a positive relationship between attachment style and risky behavior (P&gt; 0.01). Also, cognitive emotion regulation has a mediating role between attachment style and risky behavior and is indirectly effective. The results showed that cognitive emotion regulation strategies and attachment styles have an effect on impulsive and risky behaviors.</p>http://psychological-research.com/Article/52947cognitive emotion regulation attachment style risky behavior ado-lescence.per Psychological Researchپژوهش های روانشناختی1019-9616 1019-96162026-022525273articleHesam Soleimanihesamsoleymaniii@gmail.com1Yasamin SakiJasminesaki1997@gmail.com2Nazanin NaghdiNazanin.Naghdi81@gmail.com3Ph.D. student of psychology at Shahid Chamran University, Ahvazpsychology group, Islamic Azad university, AhvazPh.D. student of psychology, psychology group, faculty of educational science and psychology, Shahid Chamran university. ahvaz<p>The present study was conducted by the structural modelling of interpersonal relations with academic performance and academic engagement among high school students with the mediating role of positive affect. The method of the present research was structural equation modeling. The population included all highschool students of Kerman city in year 1402-1403, of which 420 were selected as a sample by random multi-stage cluster sampling. The tools used in the present performance study include Schaufeli et al.'s acade mic engagement questionnaire (2002), fine et al.'s parent-child relationship scale (1985), Murray and Zovich's teacher-student relationship questionnaire (2010), and Watson et al.'s positive and negative emotion scale (1988). Structural equation modeling method and bootstrap test and SPSS and AMOS version 24 software were used for data analysis. findings showed that despite the significant correlation coefficients between the research variables, the only significant direct path between the predictor and criterion variables is the relationship between the teacher-student relationship and academic performance. But after examining the indirect relationships, it was found that the positive affect experienced in the field of education mediate the relationship between interpersonal relation-ships and academic performance and academic engagement. The model had a good fit and showed that more favorable inter-personal relationships lead to increase in positive affect, and positive affect lead to a more favorable attitude and more interest and engagement towards learning and higher academic</p>http://psychological-research.com/Article/52949academic performance academic engagement parent-child relationship tea-cher-student relationship positive affectper Psychological Researchپژوهش های روانشناختی1019-9616 1019-96162026-022527493articleghazal sadat pournesaeighazal.pournesaei@ymail.com1Masoume Maleki PirbazariMaleki@yahoo.com2milad sabzeh arai langaroudisabzeara@yahoo.com3Ahrar Institute of Higher Education, Rasht, IranRahman Ramsar Institute of Higher Education, Ramsar, Iran<p>Today, sexual abuse of children is recognized as a major social issue in both Iran and around the world. Sexual abuse is considered one of the most dangerous forms of emotional and psychological child abuse. The aim of this study was to explore the consequences of child sexual abuse based on the lived experiences of Iranian women. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach. Participants were selected through an Instagram call for volunteers and included Iranian women who reported experiences of sexual abuse. Fourteen individuals were chosen through purposive sampling until data saturation was reached. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi&rsquo;s method. The analysis of participants&rsquo; lived experiences revealed that the most significant consequences of childhood sexual abuse fell into six core themes, organized under three broader categories: intrapersonal consequences (self-blame and psychological harm), interpersonal and social consequences (parental neglect and ignorance, stigmatization), and psychological reconstruction (personal growth and forgiveness). This study emphasizes the importance of family and social institutions in protecting children and preventing sexual abuse, particularly among girls.</p>http://psychological-research.com/Article/52950Lived experience sexual abuse intrapersonal consequences interpersonal and social consequences psychological reconstructionper Psychological Researchپژوهش های روانشناختی1019-9616 1019-96162026-0225294112article Allahnazar Alisofian.alisofi@cfu.ac.ir1, Department Of Psychology and Counselling, Farhangian University, Tehran, IranThis study aimed to investigate the effect of teaching Help-Seeking Strategies on external motivation, internal motivation and academic demotivation of high school students. The research method was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of the study included all ninth-grade male students of high schools in Mehrestan County in the academic year 2024-2025. To do this, 40 students were purposefully selected and divided into two groups of 20, one experimental and one control group. To measure the research variables the Academic motivation scale (AMS) was used. The experimental group underwent help-see-king strategies intervention over 12 sessions, and then both groups were given a post-test. Data analysis was performed using multi variate analysis of covariance. The results showed that, by controlling the pre-test effect, there was a significant difference at the p<0.05 between the post-test means of control and experimental groups,and in experimental group the means of extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation increased but the mean of academic demotivation decreased. Therefore, it can be concluded that this intervention has a significant effect on increasing extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and reducing academic demotivation of students. http://psychological-research.com/Article/52951external motivation internal motivation academic demotivation help-seeking strategies per Psychological Researchپژوهش های روانشناختی1019-9616 1019-96162026-02252113138articleraziyeh najiollahi malakshahnegarmalakshah@yahoo.com1Mohamad Ali Rahmanirahmanima20@gmail.com2Mohammadreza Zarbakhshrzarbakhsh@yahoo.com3 Department of Psychology, Tonekabon Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tonekabon, IranIslamic Azad University, Tonekabon, Iran Department of Psychology, Tonkabon Branch, Islamic Azad Univrersity, Tonkabon , Irann<p style="text-align: justify;">The present study aimed to analyze the components influencing the inhibition of forgiveness of infidelity among men and women who had experienced it. This study was conducted qualitatively using a phenomenological approach. The statistical population included Iranian men and women who had been betrayed by their spouses in their current or past marital relationships and had forgiven them. The sampling method was voluntary non-random sampling combined with snowball sampling, through which 14 participants (9 women and 5 men) were selected. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi&rsquo;s seven-step method. The findings obtained from the initial coding resulted in the formation of 34 meaning units, which, based on their similarities, were categorized into 9 subthemes. Finally, these sub-themes were organized into four main themes: individual-centered factors, spouse-centered factors, relationship-centered factors, and social factors. The results of this study can help therapists and counselors design more targeted interventions to rebuild trust, improve relation-ships, reduce the negative effects of infidelity on life, and provide more effective services. Moreover, by identifying, facilitating, and re-moving barriers to forgiveness, individuals affected by infidelity can better navigate the difficult process of forgiveness, thereby enhancing their physical and psychological well-being.</p>http://psychological-research.com/Article/52952inhibition of forgiveness infidelity affected men and womenper Psychological Researchپژوهش های روانشناختی1019-9616 1019-96162026-02252139157articleMahshid Mosadegh zadeM.mosadeghzade@gmail.com1قاسم Norozyg.norouzi@edu.ui.ac.ir2Mohammad Ashorim.ashori@edu.ui.ac.ir3Master of Psychology and Education of Exceptional Children, Department of Psychology and Education of People with Special Needs, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran. دانشگاه شفلید انگلستانAssociate Professor, Department of Psychology and Education of People with Special Needs, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran <p>The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of the Floortime program on autism symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorders.
