“…Identity exploration is a complex process involving metacognitive components [8]. Cognitive awareness, or metacognition, refers to high-level and effective processes in the dynamic interpretation, control, guidance, and evaluation of cognitive processes and products that improve human abilities to regulate cognitive activities through the interaction between knowledge, experiences, and cognitive strategies [9].…”

Background: The mental health of young people is highly influenced by the identity exploration processes, social origin of identity, and information processing styles. Objectives: The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of metacognitive beliefs on dimensions of emerging adulthood (EA) identity mediated by mental health in university students. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, the statistical population included all male and female, 18-25-year-old university students of the public universities of Tehran in 2020-21. The study sample consisted of 178 students selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included Arnett's Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA), Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: Metacognitive beliefs was directly associated with mental health (β=0.61, P=0.001) and instability/negativity (β=0.24, P=0.010). Moreover, mental health had a significant positive association with instability/negativity (β=0.25, P=0.004) and a significant inverse association with possibilities/optimism (β=-0.23, P=0.018). The relationship between metacognitive belief with instability/negativity and possibilities/optimism was partly mediated by mental health. Conclusion: It is necessary to pay special attention to metacognitive beliefs as a factor affecting some EA dimensions such as instability/negativity and possibilities/optimism. Mental health should also be considered as the mediator in the association relationship between metacognitive beliefs and EA dimensions. Based on the results of the present study, it is recommended to hold training workshops on metacognitive strategies to improve their mental health and form identity styles.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people suffering from psychological disorders has increased all over the world. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of mental health and resilience with Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) through mediating of defensive styles in the COVID-19 survivors. Materials & Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research population included all COVID-19 recovered patients in Gorgan, Iran. Using convenience sampling method, 300 patients who recovered from COVID-19 were selected. The research instruments included the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale, the General Health Questionnaire, and Defense Style Questionnaire. The participants were given questionnaires online. Results: The results of SEM suggested that the proposed model fits the data. The direct paths from PTG, mental health, and resilience to the developed defensive styles were positive and significant (P<0.01). In addition, the relationship between mental health and resilience with PTG was positive and significant (P<0.01). The relationship between PTG, mental health, and resilience with the immature and neurotic defensive styles was negative and significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: The findings revealed that mental health, resilience, and developed defensive styles had a tremendous impact on the increase of PTG in COVID-19 patients. Accordingly, they can be used to reduce the psychological problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of mindfulness training in enhancing social adjustment, self-esteem, and hope in transgender individuals. Methodology: This research employed a quasi-experimental design, incorporating pre-test and post-test measures, along with a control group. The study population comprised transgender individuals receiving support from one of the social support centres under the auspices of the Tehran Municipality in the year 1401 (2022). Fourteen participants from this population were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent eight sessions of mindfulness training. Subsequently, during the post-test phase, both groups completed questionnaires. Data analysis involved multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance. Results: The research findings revealed a statistically significant difference in mean scores of social adjustment, self-esteem, and hope between the control and experimental groups during the post-test phase. Mindfulness training contributed significantly to elevating the levels of these variables within the experimental group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In light of the research outcomes, mindfulness training emerges as a promising intervention for positively influencing social adjustment, self-esteem, and hope among transgender individuals. Consequently, this educational program is recommended for the provision of psychological services within the target community.
