- Addictive disorders are characterized by cognitive, behavioral, and neurological impairments caused by dysregulations of brain structure that can extend well beyond early withdrawal in the months and years of recovery. The present study aimed to examine the efficacy of neurofeedback rehabilitation on anxiety in methamphetamine abusers. The sample consisted of 14 male methamphetamine drug addicts who were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 7) and a control group (n = 7). Participants were assessed for Axis I disorders (SCID) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Mixed repeated ANOVA, independent t-tests, and chi-square were used for data analysis. The experimental group received 18 sessions of neurofeedback rehabilitation and standard psychological interventions treatment as usual, while the control group received only standard interventions. Results showed that neurofeedback significantly reduced anxiety in methamphetamine abusers at posttreatment and during a one-month follow-up. Along with other psychological interventions, neurofeedback rehabilitation is recommended for methamphetamine abusers.

- The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Escapism Scale among Iranian adolescents aged 14-18. Between January 2021 and August 2021, cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sampling method to select 566 participants (340 girls and 226 boys) to investigate the relationship between physical activity and mental health in adolescents. The participants completed several questionnaires, including the Escapism Scale, Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory (EPSI), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Hope Scale (AHS), Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), and General Self-efficacy (GSE). Construct validity, reliability using Cronbach's alpha, and concurrent validity were used to evaluate the Escapism Scale's validity and reliability. Results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) indicated that a two-factor model provided a good fit for the data: sbX2 = 179.99 (p < 0.01); SRMR = 0.07; RMR = 0.56, CFI = 0.91; NFI = 0.89; IFI = 0.91; NFI = 0.89; GFI = 0.93; AGFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.076). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for escapism was 0.73. The study found a significant positive relationship between escapism and smartphone addiction (r = 0.19). Additionally, a significant negative relationship was observed between escapism and hope (r=-0.31), satisfaction with life (r=-0.34), and general self-efficacy (r=-0.33). Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between escapism and gender. Lastly, the study found a significant relationship between escapism and identity confusion (r = 0.164, P < 0.01) and identity coherence (P < 0.01, r = 29). In conclusion, the Escapism Scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing escapism and psychological evaluations in Iranian adolescents. These results may inform future research and suggest re-testing in clinical populations.

- This study aimed to measure validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Cyber-Bullying/Victimization Experience Questionnaire (CBVEQ) among Iranian adolescents. This cross-sectional validation study was conducted on Iranian adolescents between January 2022 and September 2022. Online questionnaires were completed by a total of 1439 Iranian high school students, with an age range of 14–18 years (M = 15.93 years, SD = 1.43). Participants completed Cyber-Bullying/Victimization Experience Questionnaire (CBVEQ), Online Disinhibition, Sensation Seeking, Empathy, and School Connectedness questionnaires. The validity and reliability of the CBVEQ were assessed through measures including Cronbach's alpha, construct validity via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and evaluations of divergent and convergent validity. The CFA indicated that a two-factor model provides a good fit for the data: (sbX2 = 3011.31 (p < 0.01); SRMR = 0.06; CFI = 0.96; NFI = 0.96; IFI = 0.96; PNFI = 0.86; GFI = 0.83; RMSEA = 0.088). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the self-escapism was 0.89. There was a significant positive relationship between CBVEQ with online disinhibition (r = 0.47; P < 0.01) and sensation seeking (r = 0.44; P < 0.01). The finding showed significant negative relationship between CBVEQ score with school connectedness (SC) (r = -0.35; P < 0.01), and empathy (r = -0.42; P < 0.01). In addition, the findings have shown a relationship between CBVEQ and maternal educational status. Iranian researchers and specialists can use this scale for research or assessment purposes in Iranian adolescents to expand the existing knowledge about preventing and reducing cyberbullying.
