Abstract
Purpose: Considering the effect of attitude toward God on different aspects of health of individuals, the present study aims to model the structural equations of the relationship between the positive and negative conception of God with mental health components (anxiety, stress and depression) in students. has taken. Methods: This study was conducted on a sample of 240 male and female students in the city of Ardebil in the academic year of 1996-96 using a survey method and multi-stage cluster sampling. The data were collected using God's Imagination Questionnaire (RSI), anxiety, stress and depression scales of Lavender, and analyzed using structural equation analysis, Pearson correlation test, multiple regression and t-test. Findings: The results showed that the positive and negative conception of God can predict the mental health (anxiety, stress and depression) of students, so that the positive image of God with the symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression and a negative impression of God had significant relationship with anxiety, stress and depression symptoms (P<0.001). Also, according to the structural equation model, the coefficients of the positive image pathway from God to anxiety, stress and depression are negative and significant, and the coefficients of the negative image pathway from God to anxiety, stress and depression are positive and statistically significant (P≤0.05). Such that predictors of anxiety, stress and depression present in the model (positive image of God and negative image of God), explained their variance 27.8%, 40.6%, and 42% respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the kind of image of God has a significant role in predicting mental health of students. Therefore, teaching positive image of God and providing religious backgrounds in different classes during the period of study and extracurricular classes plays an effective role in promoting mental health of students.

Abstract
Aim: Emotional resilience is a multidimensional structure that explains why people who face difficult and stressful situations can act positively. The aim of this study was to predict corona anxiety based on emotional resilience with the mediation of emotion regulation in college students. Methods: This was a descriptive study using structural equation modeling method and its statistical population consisted of all students studying at Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the first semester of 1400 Persian calendar. A total of 250 individuals were selected through convenient sampling method who answered the online questionnaires on emotional resilience, emotion regulation and corona anxiety. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. Findings: The results of the correlation coefficients showed that the anxiety of Corona has a negative and significant relationship with the total score of emotional resilience and emotion regulation, and also the emotion regulation has a positive and significant relationship with the total score of emotional resilience (p<0.001). The fit indices of the model also confirmed the path of emotional resilience on Corona anxiety with the mediation of emotion regulation. Conclusion: From a practical point of view, based on the results, it can be said that the adaptation strategies training program is a suitable solution for improving emotion regulation, increasing resilience and reducing students' anxiety.

Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing internalized shame among students with social anxiety. ▌Methods: This study employed a semi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all male upper secondary school students in Ardabil during the 2022–2023 academic year who exhibited symptoms of social anxiety. Following administration of the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and a clinical interview, 34 students were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 17) and a control group (n = 17). The experimental group received an ACT intervention based on the protocol developed by Fleming, Kukowski, and Harris, whereas the control group received no intervention. The Internalized Shame Scale (ISS) was administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA and ANCOVA). ▌Results: The findings revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups with respect to posttest scores of internalized shame. The results indicated that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) significantly reduced internalized shame in students with social anxiety (p < .05). ▌Conclusion: The findings suggest that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is effective in reducing feelings of internalized shame among students with social anxiety and may be considered a useful intervention for this population.
