According to the findings in the behavioral inhibition component, there is a significant difference between the three groups. Patients who underwent surgery received the minimum scores in active avoidance, further people who underwent open-heart surgery received lower scores than patients who were candidate for surgery and the control group in extinction measurement.Conclusion:Therefore, due to the decrease in the performance of the behavioral activation system and the increase in the performance of the behavioral inhibition system, behavioral-activation-based interventions under the supervision of psychologists should be planned and implemented for these patients.

The statistical population of this study included Iranian adults from which 605 people were selected by convenient sampling method. Data were collected using the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI-18), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and Behavioral Activation and Inhibition Systems Scale (BAS / BIS Scale). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation, multiple regression and path analysis. Results: The findings showed that there is a significant correlation (P <0.01) between fear of COVID 19, Behavioral inhibition system and reward responsiveness subscale of behavioral activation system with health anxiety. In addition, the Bootstrap results indicate that the mediating roles of the behavioral inhibition system (0.001) and the reward responsiveness subscale of the behavioral activation system (0.006) is significant. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, fear of COVID 19 can predict and affect health anxiety through interaction with behavioral inhibition system and reward responsiveness subscale of the behavioral activation system. Therefore, interventions based on the introduction of prevention programs concerning Covid-19 to reduce the fear and anxiety of people about getting it, have positive results and can be considered as prevention programs to help people overcome experienced health anxiety.

Introduction: One of the most severe physiological, psychological disorders and the most critical risk factors for cardiovascular disease is hypertension. High blood pressure is associated with several factors, such as thought control strategies and perceived stress. This study aimed to investigate the role of thought control strategies on perceived stress in hypertensive patients. Materials and Methods: The research method was a descriptive correlational. To select the research sample, 180 patients with hypertension who referred to the health centers of Qaenat (200 persons in total) were selected in 2018. Participants then responded to Wells and Davis (1994), Perceived Stress Questionnaire Cohen (1983). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22. Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the components of mind control, the component of distraction, reassessment, fear and punishment with perceived stress (p <0.05). So that the component of distraction and reassessment of negative relationship and the components of worry and punishment are a positive relationship with perceived stress (p <0.05). Conclusion: Thought control strategies play a role in the perceived stress of hypertensive patients. Stress causes many disorders and mental illness, including hypertension. However, if a person is mentally sound and healthy, he will not be stressed and will be safe from blood pressure.

Introduction: Brain-Behavioral Systems contribute to the development of wide variety of emotional disorders, including anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was to compare the Brain- Behavioral Systems in patients with anxiety, patients with depression, and healthy individuals.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study in which 45 individuals with anxiety (moderate to high score in Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and low score in BDI-II) and 45 individuals with depression (moderate to high score in Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and low score in BAI) who referred to private and public health centers in Jiroft were selected through purposive sampling and matched with 45 healthy individuals (low score in BDI-II and BAI) for age and gender. After informed consent, participants were asked to fill the questionnaires including Jackson-5 Scale, 2nd version of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and were allocated to different groups based on the score of the questionnaires. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance by spss21 software.
Results: Result showed that there were significant differences between three groups in Behavior Inhibition System, Fight, Flight and Freeze. Also, the differences were not significant in Behavioral Activation System.
Conclusion: Given the different functions of the Brain -Behavioral Systems in patients with anxiety, patients with depression, and healthy individuals, this theory may explain the etiology of anxiety and depression.

Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with an unknown etiology. The disease affects several organs such as central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to assess memory profile (working, visual and auditory) in SLE patients and healthy individuals.
Materials and Methods: Thirty SLE patients and 30 healthy individuals were selected by the convenience sampling method. The sample was evaluated by Letter-Number Sequencing Test, Rey auditory verbal learning test (RAVLT) and Visual Memory test (Wechsler Memory III subscale). Data were analyzed by the univariate analysis of variance, multivariate analysis of variance and the Mann- Whitney U Tests.
Results: The results revealed a significant difference (p<0/005) between the two groups in working memory. There were no significant differences between SLE patients and healthy individuals in terms of immediate auditory memory and immediate visual memory. The results showed the significant differences between two groups in delayed visual memory (free recall and recognition) (p<0/02) and delayed auditory memory (free recall and recognition) (p<0/04).
Conclusion: Memory of patients diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, especially working, visual and auditory memory dimensions was be affected by neurological deficits related to the illness, which makes early neuropsychological assessments and related rehabilitation programs even more vital.

Control group members did not receive any interventions. Data through questionnaires study were Index of Depression Sensitivity-Revised Version (LEIDS-R) and Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS). Research data to way multivariate analysis of variance were analyzed by SPSS 21 software.Results: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance with significance level (p > 0.0001) on the hypothesis show a significant difference between the two groups at post-test, that represents the effectiveness of mindfulness oriented recovery enhancement approach group therapy based on Cognitive Reactivity to Sad Mood and Pain-Related Anxiety among Chronic Pain Patients.Conclusion: The conclusion of the study is based on group therapy, mindfulness oriented recovery enhancement approach is to reduce.
