Abstract The Internet has far-reaching effects on various aspects of human life and the extreme use of the Internet is associated with numerous personal and social harms. The present study investigates the mediating role of emotion regulation strategies and psychological distress in the relationship between insecure attachment and problematic internet use. The present study was descriptive-correlational and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study was all students studying in the undergraduate and graduate courses of the Islamic Azad University, Research Sciences, Center and Karaj Branch in the academic year 2019-2020. By cluster sampling method, 397 people were selected as the sample group. Data collection tools included Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, scale for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and Adult Attachment Scale. Data analysis was performed by Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis using LISREL software. The results showed that psychological distress (0.50), maladaptive strategies (0.23), adaptive strategies (-0.21), avoidant attachment (0.11), and ambivalent attachment (0.10) have the highest to the lowest correlation coefficient with harmful use of the Internet (P <0.05). Strategies for regulating emotional distress and distress also mediated the relationship between insecure attachment style and problematic internet use. Accordingly, in the field of designing the necessary measures to reduce the problematic internet use, programs can be developed to improve insecure attachment styles, emotion regulation strategies and psychological distress.

The aim of this study was to develop an educational package of executive functions and determine its effectiveness on response inhibition & emotion regulation in preschool children. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test & post-test. In designing and compiling the educational package, after studying the theoretical and practical background, eight main educational contents in the form of games, conversation-based activities, and educational worksheets were prepared to strengthen the executive functions of RI and ER appropriate to preschool age. The content validity of the educational package was reviewed by eight experts in this field and the necessary corrections were made. Then the final form was prepared & prepared for implementation for training sessions. To evaluate the content validity, the quantitative method was used. Then, the effect of the educational package on RI and ER of preschool children was done. For this purpose, 40 preschool children aged 5-6 years were randomly selected by the available sampling method and 20 people in the experimental group and 20 people in the control group were randomly assigned. They got. After performing the pre-test with the behavioral grading list of Executive Skills Brief-Preschool-Parent Form, the experimental group was trained online for 12 sessions. The obtained data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance using SPSS software. Findings showed that the educational package developed for executive functions has the necessary content validity and has been able to be effective in improving the executive functions of response inhibition and emotion regulation of preschool children.

People regulate their emotions in different ways which emanates from their individual differences. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality factors and cognitive development levels with emotion regulation strategies. 381 (192 females, 189 males) students from Hakim Sabzevari University were selected in a cluster sampling method and they filled out ERQ, NEO-FFI and SPBI questionnaires. Correlation coefficient and multiple regression was used for data analysis. Correlation analysis showed that reappraisal have significant positive relation with extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness, also suppression have positive significant relation with neuroticism and conservative thinking and negative significant relation with extraversion, openness and conscientiousness. The results of regression analysis indicated that conscientiousness, formal thinking and Collectivistic thinking could predict 12% of reappraisal variance. Results also indicated that extraversion, openness and dialectical thinking could predict 11% of suppression variance. Overall the present findings indicate that individual’s personality traits and cognitive development can predict their emotion regulation capability.
