Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting principals' and teachers' perceptions of the school counselor's role and explain its position and importance in the challenges of establishing the role of school counselors. Methods: The research method in this research is systematic and descriptive literature review. The statistical population of this study includes all valid scientific-research articles published in domestic and foreign journals in recent decades. The articles of this systematic review were found by searching the databases of Noormags, SID, Magiran, Ensani.ir Elsevier, Sage, Taylor and France, Springer, Wiley and M.D.P.I. Finding: 25 articles were finalized based on the inclusion criteria of the study. These articles were conducted in the form of action research methods, field research, Q method, experimental, focus group, interview, phenomenology, correlation, and grounded theory. The analysis of these studies showed that three categories of factors, including factors related to school and community, factors related to teachers and principals, and factors related to counselors are effective in the perception of principals and teachers of the role of school counselor. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the lack of awareness by principals and teachers about the evolving role of school counselors is one of the most important factors related to the contradictory perceptions of teachers and principals and the best way to solve this problem is to have a counseling council in each school. By informing principals and teachers about the role of the counselor and following the goals and program of the school counselor, this council will stabilize the role of the school counselor and facilitate the process of achieving the goals of education.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between personality traits and the tendency to addiction with the mediation of emotion regulation in Yazd University students. Methods: The study employed descriptive-correlational methodology. The population included all students of Yazd University in the first half of the 1401–1402 academic year, from whom 210 people were selected through available sampling method. Data was collected using the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2001), Five Personality Factors NEO short form (1992), and Addiction Tendency (1992). The data were analyzed through path analysis using SPSS software (version 25) and PLS version 3. Results: The proposed model had a good fit. The findings indicated that the direct effect of neurotic personality traits on addiction tendency (ρ=0.00, β=0.30) was positive and significant, while the direct effects of extraverted personality traits (ρ=0.00, β=-0.32) and conscientiousness (ρ=0.00, β=-0.24) on addiction tendency were negative and significant. However, no significant direct effect was found between the agreeableness personality trait (ρ=0.09, β=-0.11) and addiction tendency. Additionally, the direct effect of neuroticism on maladaptive strategies (ρ=0.00, β=0.47) and the direct effects of extraversion (ρ=0.00, β=0.43) and conscientiousness (ρ=0.01, β=0.18) on adaptive strategies were significant. While there was a significant relationship between maladaptive strategies and addiction tendency (ρ=0.00, β=0.17), the direct effect of adaptive strategies on addiction tendency (ρ=0.06, β=0.12) was not significant. Furthermore, the indirect path of the neurotic personality trait on addiction tendency through the mediating role of maladaptive strategies (ρ = 0.00, β = 0.09) was significant. Conclusion: The results showed that personality trait as an independent variable and emotion regulation as a mediating variable is an important factor in predicting the tendency to addiction, which can be useful in planning preventive interventions and training workshops in the field of managing and controlling emotion regulation strategies.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of university counseling center counselors regarding their role in preventing substance abuse among students. Method: This research adopted a qualitative approach and used thematic analysis. The research population consisted of counselors from university counseling centers. The sample group included 13 experienced counselors in the field of addiction from the counseling centers of universities in Tehran, Allameh Tabatabai, Alzahra, Sharif University of Technology, Amirkabir University of Technology, Iran University of Science and Technology, Khajeh Nasir al-Din Tusi University, University of Isfahan, University of Esfahan, University of Tabriz, University of Gilan, University of Shiraz, and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. The sampling method used was purposeful sampling. Data related to the research question were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings: After analyzing the interviews and coding them, 30 sub-themes and 9 main themes were extracted, including: counselors' attention to risk factors, awareness-raising for students, awareness-raising for influential individuals in relation to students, preventive education, therapeutic interventions based on professional frameworks, counselors' attention to facilitative components in prevention, the effective capacity of universities in prevention, effective barriers to counselors' attention to prevention, and the role of community-based factors in prevention. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that although counselors at university counseling centers focus on awareness-raising activities and skill-building, they are more focused on therapeutic roles and secondary and tertiary prevention, and regard other factors as more effective in primary prevention. Therefore, university counseling centers need to be more effective in primary prevention and take further steps in this area. It is essential for higher authorities to develop a comprehensive program and organize training courses for counselors in this regard for all universities.
