Abstract
Background and Objectives: Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder. Individuals with insomnia often report more functioning problems. Numerous studies have shown that cognitive and emotional factors have an important role in the onset and maintenance of insomnia. The purpose of this study was to predict the severity of insomnia based on the cognitive and emotional variables and personality traits presented by DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) in students of Kurdistan University in 2016.
Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive study. The study population consisted of all students who were educating at the University of Kurdistan in the academic year 2016-17. 190 students were selected by means of available sampling and then subjected to the study. 6 questionnaires were used as means of data collection, including the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (DBAS-10), the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) and Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS), and the Personality Inventory DSM-5 (PID-5) The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multivariable regressions analysis.
Results: The results of the study revealed that there are significant positive relationships between all cognitive, emotional variables, and conflict personality areas and insomnia severity (P< 0.01). The highest correlation coefficient was pre-sleep arousal, which was the most important variable in this study (r= 0.56). These factors could account for 41% of the variation in the insomnia severity. Regression coefficients in stepwise method for linear combination of dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, rumination, pre-sleep arousal, worry and personality areas with insomnia severity were significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, these cognitive, emotional, and personality variables can be important components of insomnia, therefore, treatment with the focus on these variables may lead to better outcomes.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Considering the increase in the rate of high-risk behaviors among students, understanding their high-risk behaviors and identifying factors associated with those behaviors can contribute to university officials in planning regarding behaviors. The aim of the present study was to study the relationship of social health and personality traits with high-risk behaviors among medical students.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 300 students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences during 2017-18 were selected via the stratified convenience sampling method and voluntarily participated in the study. The research instruments consisted of the researcher-made high-risk behaviors questionnaire, Keyes's Social Well-being Questionnaire, and The NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R). Data were analyzed via Pearson’s correlation coefficient and independent t-test.
Results: The results indicated that the variables of sex (p=0.001), marital status (p=0.005) and place of residence (p=0.002) had a significant effect on the points of students' high risk behaviors. Also, social health (r=-0.41) had an important reverse correlation with high risk behaviors (p<0.001). Extroversion personality traits (r=0.50) and openness to experience (r=0.52) had a direct significant correlation with high risk behaviors (p<0.001). However, there was a significant reverse relationship between high risk behaviours and the traits of wretchedness (r=-0.36), compatibility (r=-0.47) and conscientiousness (r=-0.49).
Conclusion: The research findings indicate that social health and personality traits play important roles in students' high-risk behaviors. Therefore, planning to increase students' social health and increase their knowledge about emotional management, life skills, and mental health can probably play a significant role in reducing their high-risk behaviors.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent quarantine have had various effects on the psychological and social aspects of society. Therefore, the aim of this study was to predict the level of anxiety, depression, and stress during the COVID-19 outbreak based on personality traits.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 170 adults living in Kashan from March to April 2020 were selected by convenience sampling method and answered the online questionnaires. The research tools included Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and NEO Personality Trait Questionnaire (Big Five Inventory-10). Data were analyzed using the Pearson’s correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: The results showed that each of the psychological components had a positive relationship with the characteristic of neuroticism and a negative relationship with the characteristic of agreement (p<0.001), and also the characteristic of conscientiousness was negatively related to depression, and positively correlated with anxiety and stress (p<0.001). In addition, the results of regression analysis showed that the predictor variables (neuroticism, conscientiousness, and agreement) predict 30.4%, 20.3%, and 45.1% of changes in depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. Also, according to the values of Beta index, it can be said that neuroticism has a stronger role in predicting all three variables of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Conclusion: According to the study findings, it can be concluded that the number of psychological problems of people during the outbreak of COVID-19 can be predicted by the characteristics of neuroticism, conscientiousness, and agreement. Given the stronger role of neuroticism, it seems necessary to provide more psychotherapeutic services in organizations for people with this characteristic.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Personality traits are important factors in marriage and consequently marriage stability. Managing emotions has a unique role in this stability. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between personality traits and marriage stability in family counseling centers in Tehran in 2020.
Materials and Methods: The current research is descriptive. The statistical population was all the married people referred to the counseling centers of the 2nd and 5th regions of Tehran, and 345 men and women were selected by convenience sampling in 2020 to participate in the research. Data collection tools were Edwards et al.'s Marital Instability Questionnaire, Bradberry-Greaves’ Emotional Intelligence, and revised form of NEO-FF-I personality scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that there was a positive and significant path coefficient between emotional intelligence and marriage stability (β=0.376, p<0.010). Also, among the personality traits, there was a negative and significant total path coefficient between neuroticism (β=0.397, p<0.010) and marital stability, and there was a positive and significant total path coefficient between agreeableness (β=0.211, p<0.010) and extroversion (β=0.244, p<0.010) and marital stability. It was found that the indirect path coefficient between neuroticism (β=-0.133, p<0.010) and marital stability was negative, and between agreeableness (β=0.062, p<0.010), extroversion (β=0.116, p<0.010), and conscientiousness (β=0.046, p<0.010) and marital stability was positive and significant.
Conclusion: Emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between neuroticism and marriage stability in a negative way and the relationship between the three factors of extroversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness and marriage stability in a positive way. In line with the results, holding educational workshops to recognize the personality traits of married people and training emotional intelligence skills can lead to increasing family stability.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Parenting responsibilities for mothers as the main caregivers is a stressful experience that can lead to parental burnout. Therefore, it seems necessary to investigate the underlying factors that increase the risk of maternal burnout. The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between personality traits of neuroticism and conscientiousness and parental burnout in mothers of Tehran City.
Materials and Methods: In current descriptive research, the sample size included 286 mothers in Tehran in the period of 2022-2023, who were selected by convenience sampling method. Roskam's Parental Burnout Questionnaire, Gross and John's Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and Costa and McCrae's Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by Pearson’s and path analysis method.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of the age of the examined mothers was 35.78±8.43 years. The results of mediation analysis showed that the direct and indirect relationships between neuroticism and parental burnout through suppression were significant (β=0.194, β=0.069, p<0.01, respectively). Also, the direct and indirect relationships between conscientiousness and parental burnout through reappraisal were significant (β=-0.216, β=-0.078, p<0.05, respectively). Therefore, suppression in the relationship between neuroticism and parental burnout and also reappraisal in the relationship between conscientiousness and parental burnout had a complementary partial mediating role.
Conclusion: The present research emphasizes the important role of emotional regulation strategies that link personality traits to parental burnout and also the importance of paying attention to teaching emotional skills to mothers.
