223 General The relationship between early maladaptive schemas and severity of symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome: Mediating role of alexithymia Besharat MohammadAli e Dehghani Sepideh f Gholamali Lavasani Masoud g Malekzadeh Reza h e Tehran University f Tehran University g Tehran University h medical University Tehran 1 2 2016 14 56 475 493 18 07 2019 18 07 2019 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the common and chronic functional gastrointestinal disorders that cause a great burden for the patients and the society. Therefore, investigation of psychological variables related to IBS can be useful in understanding, management and decrees of symptoms severity in IBS patients. The present study was performed to examine the mediating role of alexithymia on the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and severity of symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. One hundred and eighty patients with irritable bowel syndrome (114 men, 66 women) participated in this study. All patients were asked to complete the IBS symptom severity scale (IBS-SSS), young schema questionnaire-short form (YSQ-SF), and Toronto Alexithymia scale (TAS-20). The results demonstrated that early maladaptive schemas and alexithymia had a significant positive association with severity of IBS symptoms )p<0.05). Also early maladaptive schemas had a significant positive association with alexithymia )p<0.01). The results showed that alexithymia did not play a mediating role on the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and IBS severity of symptoms. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that early maladaptive schemas and alexithymia can predict severity of IBS symptoms. Considering these psychological variables would be helpful in the processes of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of IBS 224 General The effects of mortality salience on self-esteem Amirbeigi Mahmoud i Ghorbani Nima j Besharat MohammadAli k i Tehran University j Tehran University k Tehran University 1 2 2016 14 56 494 503 18 07 2019 18 07 2019 Terror management theory (greenberg, solomon, pyszczinski, 1986) claims that the reason for which one tries to attain and preserve positive self-evaluation is self-esteem.

A sample of 64 male students of university of Tehran were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. The experimental group answered the question about MS topic and the control group answered two questions about non mortality salience topic (Pyszczcynsli et al. 1999). Then both groups filled out Rosenberg's self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Results revealed that the self-esteem of experimental group was not significantly different from the control group (P= 0.05). Results are discussed based on the role of cultural and personality structure of participants. 222 General The relationship between identity styles and presence and searching for meaning of life Rahiminezhad Abbas l Zalizadeh Mohsen m Alipour Ahmad n l Tehran University m Tehran University n Payam Noor university 1 2 2016 14 56 504 516 18 07 2019 18 07 2019 This research aimed to investigate the relationship between identity styles and the presence and searching for meaning of life.
