In daily life time reproduction deficits may result in situations that require a timing component, such as waiting, planning, and organizing reflected by impulsive behavior. Purpose: Previous research indicated that cognitive enhancement might improve executive functions. So, through two experiments we investigated the effectiveness of time perception training. Method: In experiment 1, intervention was performed on eight normal children. Time reproduction task was used for assessing the changes in participants’ time processing precision, and a computer-based game for time perception training as the intervention purpose. Participants performed the time reproduction task in the following phases (a) pre-intervention phase (baseline), (b) during the intervention sessions, (c) in the post-intervention sessions and (d) in the one-month follow up sessions. In experiment 2, the same task and the same game were utilized, but data gathered from two groups in an experiment using an independent groups design: 1-experimental group (7 girls and 7 boys, mean age=6.6), 2- control group (7 girls and 7 boys, mean age=6.4). Participants were tested twice as pre-test and post-test. Results: Experiment 1 revealed that although some improvements in time performance was observed in some subjects, the effectiveness of game was unclear. Findings of experimental 2 indicated that the game had a significant effect on short (but not long) interval time perception. Conclusion: Based on results of two experiments it can concluded that time perception training (via game) might enhance temporal processing precision, especially short interval times. However, more research is needed for conclusion.}, Keywords = {Time Reproduction, computer-based game, Time Perception Training, Temporal Processing}, volume = {1}, Number = {2}, pages = {1-15}, publisher = {School of Medicine, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://shenakht.muk.ac.ir/article-1-71-en.html}, eprint = {http://shenakht.muk.ac.ir/article-1-71-en.pdf}, journal = {Shenakht Journal of Psychology and Psychiatry}, issn = {2588-6657}, eissn = {2476-2962}, year = {2014} } @article{ author = {Najafi, Sakineh and Sattarpour, Farib}, title = {Comparing the early maladaptive schemas of dishonored check prisoners and normal people}, abstract ={Objective: The present research aimed at comparing the early maladaptive schemas of dishonored check prisoners and normal people.

Methods: the Method is semi-experimental study (intervention) that initially done between disappointed couples at being divorcing, and 30 couples were selected by random sampling. Of these 15 pairs, 15 pairs as a control group and 15 pairs as an experimental group were randomly organized. To get a data, "Hopefully Miller" questionnaire was used that the material consists of 48 items and each were divided by 5(0-4) that any points increase it would be as a greater hope. The implementation of process was that the first life expectancy scale in seven sessions of 90 minutes and the end for two groups, post-test was conducted. Reliability, validity and the structure of Analysis scale was calculated and scores were computed for model under studied.

The prevalence and complications of grief vary due to the differences in social norms and cultural expectations. Objective: We aimed to assess the point prevalence of complicated grief in one of western provinces of Iran. Methods: This study was performed as a cross-sectional survey of 751 subjects who attended an outpatient psychiatry center in Kermanshah from July to December 2012. The main symptoms and signs of complicated grief as well as presence and severity of depression were assessed using especial questionnaires. Results: Among all assessed referees, 63 were diagnosed to have an experience of recent grief (33 men and 30 women) with the overall prevalence of 8.4%. Among those with recent experience of grief, only 28 had complicated grief with the overall prevalence of 3.73% among which, 3.06% had chronic grief and 0.67% suffered from delayed grief. Many cases were wrongly diagnosed to have other psychological disturbances such as depression or anxiety. The final diagnosis of major depressive disorder grief was confirmed only in 33.4% of complicated grief cases based on BDI ΙΙ score and psychiatrist judgment in our assessment. Conclusion: The complicated grief has a comparable prevalence to previous reported figures in western Iran. Conspicuous number of those who were affected by complicated grief was wrongly diagnosed as other psychological conditions such as depression or anxiety in this study.

Method: The sample size of this study consisted of 400 students from University of Sistan and Baluchestan that were selected by cluster sampling method. To collect the data fear Questionnaire (FQ) state – Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) and self – regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) were applied. For data analysis Pearson correlation coefficient, Multiple stepwise Regression, simple Linear Regression were used. Results: Results from the present study revealed that blood injection and physical injured phobia had significant positive correlation with searching for options. Blood injection and physical injured phobia had significant negative correlation with formulation plans and implementing plans. The overall scores of phobia were positively correlated with searching for options. Also, results demonstrated that overall scores of anger had significant positive correlation with searching for options and assessing the plans effectiveness, but it was negatively correlated with implementing plans. Result of regression illustrated that blood injection and physical injured phobia accounted 3.5% of the variance in searching for options and they explained 1% and 1.7% of the variance for formulation and implementing plans respectively. The overall scores of anger accounted for 3.2% of the variance in implementing plans. Anger control accounted 1.8% of the variance emotional self – regulation.
