AbstractThis paper sought to investigate the validity of a mediation model, where we hypothesized that the four irrational evaluations postulated by the Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) theory (demandingness, awfulizing, low frustration tolerance, and global evaluation) would mediate the relationship between perceived risk of war and death anxiety. A sample of 158 Romanian participants completed online self-report measures, namely the Death Anxiety Scale, The Attitudes and Beliefs Scale, and the Risk Perception Scale. Mediation analyses were employed to assess the validity of the model. Results confirmed that the r...

The Persian Tolerance of Uncontrollability Questionnaire and its Correlates: Reliability, Validity, and Measurement Invariance Across Gender
AbstractMany situations in life remain beyond an individual ’s control. Despite this, little research has focused on individual differences in tolerance of uncontrollability. The purpose of the present study was to translate and validate a Persian version of the Tolerance of Uncontrollability Questionnaire (TOUQ). The scale was translated from English to P ersian and administered to 441 Iranian Farsi-speaking participants from the general population (females = 65%; mean age = 26.26 years [SD ± 7.36]). The Persian version of the TOUQ demonstrated excellent reliability and internal validity. The structure of t...

Investigation of the Turkish Psychometric Properties of Bedtime Procrastination and While-in-Bed Procrastination Scales for Adolescents
This study was carried out to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Bedtime Procrastination and While-in-Bed Procrastination Scales for adolescents. This methodological study was conducted with 348 adolescents aged 12 –18 between March and April 2023. Cronbach’s alpha and omega coefficients were employed to test the psychometric properties, split-half and item-total correlation methods to test the reliability, and confirmatory factor analysis to test the construct validity of the scales. It was determined tha t the Bedtime Procrastination scale Cronbach’s alpha and omega coefficients of th...

The Influence of Core Self-Evaluation, Rumination, and Forgiveness on the Experience and Expression of Anger
AbstractCore self-evaluation (CSE) has demonstrated a role in emotional distress, with rumination and forgiveness mediating this. This paper aimed to extend on such research by exploring the relationships that CSE, rumination, and forgiveness have with state and trait anger, and with the expression and control of anger. Participants (N = 193) completed an online survey measuring CSE, rumination, forgiveness, and their experiences and expression of anger. The analysis demonstrated that CSE was negatively correlated with state anger, trait anger, outward expressions of anger, and internalised expressions of anger. It wa...

A Randomized, Controlled, Preliminary Study to Assess the Efficacy of Logic-Based Therapy in Reducing Anxiety and/or Depression in Family Caregivers
In this study, the latter modality was compared to a mindfulness activity. The study included 20 caretakers randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The hypothesis investigated was that a one-hour LBT session is more effective in reducing the level of (state or trait) anxiety and/or depression in family caregivers than a one-hour mindfulness session. Utilizing data compiled from study participants ’ responses to the State Trait Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-2), two-way mixed ANOVA tests on three variables (state anxiety, trait anxiety, and depression (BDI-2) scores) were performed ...

Romanian Version of the Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS): A Preliminary Validation on a Non-clinical Sample
AbstractLow frustration tolerance is one of the key concepts in rational emotional behavior therapy (REBT). The purpose of this study is to explore the factorial structure, reliability, and validity of the Romanian version of the Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS), developed by Harrington (Clin Psychol Psychother 12(5):374 –387, 2005b.https://doi.org/10.1002/cpp.465), within a non-clinical sample (N = 308) of Romanian teachers. For validation purposes, participants also completed several measures such as the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ) (Chamberlain and Haaga in J Ration Emot Cogn Behav Ther 19...

Development and Preliminary Analysis of a Scale to Assess Client Characteristics that Influence Clinical Decision-Making
AbstractUnderstanding client variables relevant to clinical decision-making is a core feature of psychotherapy. The previous meta-analysis emphasized variables related to stages of psychotherapy, motivational stages of change, alliance, reactance, coping, attachment styles, and emotional stability in psychotherapy outcomes. However, a clinical measure that captures these empirically based clinical variances is missing. The present study describes the development and preliminary analysis of the Clinical Decision-Making Inventory (CDMI) in a sample of individuals engaged in a psychotherapeutic process. One hundred and twenty...

The Structural Model of Early Maladaptive Schemas with Cardiac Health-Related Behaviors in General Population: The Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation and Self-compassion
AbstractThere is a scarcity in the literature on the schema therapy model in the context of chronic diseases containing the cardiovascular disease. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the structural relationships of cardiac health-related behaviors in the general population based on early maladaptive schemas with the mediating role of emotion regulation and self-compassion. Participants were 700 individuals among a general community sample of Iranians (Mean age = 33.04, females = 53.14%, range = 18–60 years). Results from structural equation modeling have supported the proposed model indic...

Is the Association of Procrastination and Age Mediated by Fear of Failure?
AbstractProcrastination as an intentional delay of personal tasks in spite of anticipating negative consequences as a result is a widespread behavior, particularly among young adults. Previous research points to a reduction of procrastinatory tendencies across the adult lifespan; it is unclear to date which mechanisms underlie this decrease of procrastination behavior. Given evidence of fear of failure strongly influencing younger adults to postpone the start or delay of intended actions, as well as a possible decrease of fear of failure with increasing age, this study set out to explore a potential mediating effect of fea...
