The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship of metacognitive beliefs and attachment styles with risky behaviors among adolescent children of war veterans with psychiatric disorders. Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study conducted on 243 adolescent children of Iraq-Iran war veterans suffering from psychiatric disorders who were selected using a convenience sampling method. They responded to Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Short form), Revised Adult attachment Scale, Metacognitions Questionnaire for Children, and Risky Behaviors Scale. Results: emotion regulation strategies mediated the relationship of metacognitive beliefs and attachment styles with risky behaviors. There was no significant relationship between adaptive strategies of emotion regulation and risky behaviors, and between metacognitive beliefs adaptive strategies of emotion regulation (P>0.001), but the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and maladaptive strategies was significant. All attachment styles had a direct and significant correlation with both adaptive and maladaptive strategies of emotion regulation. The presented model could explain 14% of the risky behaviors in subjects. Conclusion: Metacognitive beliefs and attachment styles are directly and indirectly related to emotion regulation strategies and risky behaviors of the children of war veterans.

Given the importance of remembering symptoms, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of patients with type I bipolar disorder during the euthymic period to remember their past mania symptoms after hospital discharge. Methods: Participants were 59 patients with type I bipolar disorder admitted to Hazrat-e-Rasool-e-Akram Hospital and Iran Psychiatry Hospital in 2012. They measured by using Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV axis I Disorders (SCID-I) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and their mania symptoms were recorded. Their demographic information were extracted from their medical records. Sixth months after discharge, they were evaluated again by using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HRSD-17), SCID-I, YMRS, and Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) through face-to-face interview. To assess the agreement on the symptoms during admission and 60 months after discharge, McNemar Test and Kappa coefficients were used. Results: most common mania symptoms remembered by the patients were decreased need for sleep (91.2%), irritability (83.9%), excessive involvement in activities with a high likelihood of painful consequences (81.3%) and the least frequent remembered symptom was distractibility (17.6%). The highest positive predictive values were related to the symptoms of irritability (100%), talkativeness (100%) and decreased need for sleep (96.3%), while the highest negative predictive value was related to elevated mood (87.5%). Conclusion: management of patients with bipolar disorder, psychiatrists can trust the patients’ ability to remember the three mania symptoms including irritability, decreased need for sleep and talkativeness.
