Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Brain Stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on improving impulsivity in children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.
Materials and Methods: The current research design was quesi-experiment with pre-test-post-test and control group. 60 children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly replaced in three groups: experiment 1, experiment 2, and control (20 people in each group). Data were collected using Connors Parent Rating Scale (1978), Raven's Progressive Matrices Test (2000) Test and Barrett's impulsivity questionnaire (1995). The subjects of the first experimental group received Transcranial Direct Current Brain Stimulation (tDCS) and second experimental group also received Captain Log's rehabilitation intervention. The control group did not receive any intervention.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the groups impulsivity (P<0.05). The experimental groups of transcranial direct current brain stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation had lower impulsivity compared to the control group. Also, by controlling the effect of the pre-test in the two experimental groups, there is significant difference between the two methods of transcranial direct current brain stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be said that the intervention of transcranial direct current brain stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation was effective in improving the impulsivity in children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. Therefore, both interventions can be used to improve the impulsivity in children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.

Introduction: Drug addiction is a chronic brain disease characterized by forced and impulsive drug use. The aim of this study was to structurally model the severity of substance dependence based on affective temperament with the mediating role of inhibition control.Materials and Methods: The research was a correlation of structural equations. The statistical population included all drug addicts who referred to Ardabil addiction treatment camps in 2021. A total of 200 of these individuals responded to the substance abuse severity, affective temperament and inhibition control test (go / no go) by Purposive sampling method. The obtained data were analyzed using smart pls3 software.Results: The results showed that affective temperament had a direct and significant effect on the severity of substance dependence. Also, the indirect effect of affective temperament on the severity of substance dependence was confirmed by the mediation of inhibition control.Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the study of affective temperament and inhibition control is a necessary and vital step in management, prognosis and prevention of dependence and substance use.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of positive group psychotherapy on self-differentiation and death anxiety in women with breast cancer in Bijar city.Materials and Methods: The method Current study was Experimental to pretest-posttest design with control group. A sample was selected from all women with breast cancer, whose names were recorded in Bijar Health Center until 2013. people 30 Based on criteria for having a history of breast cancer and diagnosis by a specialist, having read and write literacy, being married, were selected.

The instrument used in this study was a standard self-differentiation questionnaire (DSI-R), Death Anxiety Scale (DAS), and a positive group psychotherapy package. The datas were analyzed by SPSS-21 software and descriptive indicators and covariance analysis test. Results: The results of covariance analysis indicated that there was a significant difference between the post-test of two groups in self-differentiation (P< 0.000, F=38/58) and death anxiety (p
