Method: The research method was correlational descriptive<br />and the statistical population was all patients with breast cancer referred to<br />Firoozgar Hospital, and Easts special medical center affiliated to Foundation<br />of Special Diseases, in Tehran city, that were 381 patients in 2016-2017. From<br />this population, 120 patients were selected as the sample through convenience<br />sampling. The instruments were Resilience Questionnaire (Conor-Davidson,<br />2003), Cognitive-Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski, 2001), and<br />Guilty Feelings Scale (Kauger and Jones, 1992). Data were analyzed using<br />multiple linear regression. Results: The results indicated that negative<br />emotion regulation (β= -0.25, P= 0.03), and guilty feelings (β= -0.29, P= 0.02)<br />had a significant negative correlation with resilience. However, positive<br />emotion regulation had a significant positive correlation with resilience (β=<br />0.44, P= 0.001). Conclusion: Regulation of two factors of emotional control<br />and guilty feelings of patients with breast cancer affect their mental health<br />positively and may be predictive of their resilience improvement. Therefore,<br />psychological interventions along with medical treatments can be beneficial<br />for cognitive-emotion regulation, reducing guilty feelings, and increasing<br />resilience in breast cancer patients, and also other patients.Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of cognitiveemotion<br />regulation and guilty feelings on disease resilience in women with<br />breast cancer.

Methods: Research method was correlational,<br />and population included 10183 male and female students of Mazandaran<br />University in 2017-2018 academic year. Among them, on the basis of sampling<br />table of Morgan and Krejcie 1970 and through multistage cluster random<br />sampling, 381 students for EFA and 384 students for CFA and reliability (in<br />total 765) of the questionnaire were selected. In the sampling process, four<br />faculties of humanity and social sciences, chemistry, economics and<br />administrative sciences and basic sciences were randomly selected among<br />twelve faculties. From the department of each faculty, two bachelor’s classes,<br />one master class and one PhD class were selected. Totally, 726 students<br />answered the Black and Reynolds’s (2016) moral identity questionnaire. After<br />removing 61 incomplete questionnaires, 665 questionnaires were analyzed.<br />Results: The results of EFA indicated that the questionnaire has two<br />dimensions of moral self and moral integrity, which was verified by CFA as<br />well. The result of Pearson correlation showed a moderate correlation between<br />the dimensions (r= 0.29, P= 0.0001) and a very strong correlation between<br />moral self dimension (r= 0.74, P= 0.0001), and moral integrity dimension<br />(r=0.85, P=0.0001) with the total score of the questionnaire. Moreover,<br />Cronbach’s alpha for the dimensions and total score varied from 0.80 to 0.85.<br />Conclusion: MIQ is appropriate for 18 years old subjects and above. It has an<br />acceptable reliability and validity and can be used to measure moral identity of<br />students and other classes of the society to identify moral self and moral<br />integrity factors.Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the psychometric properties of<br />Moral Identity Questionnaire. Methods: Research method was correlational,<br />and population included 10183 male and female students of Mazandaran<br />University in 2017-2018 academic year. Among them, on the basis of sampling<br />table of Morgan and Krejcie 1970 and through multistage cluster random<br />sampling, 381 students for EFA and 384 students for CFA and reliability (in<br />total 765) of the questionnaire were selected. In the sampling process, four<br />faculties of humanity and social sciences, chemistry, economics and<br />administrative sciences and basic sciences were randomly selected among<br />twelve faculties. From the department of each faculty, two bachelor’s classes,<br />one master class and one PhD class were selected. Totally, 726 students<br />answered the Black and Reynolds’s (2016) moral identity questionnaire. After<br />removing 61 incomplete questionnaires, 665 questionnaires were analyzed.<br />Results: The results of EFA indicated that the questionnaire has two<br />dimensions of moral self and moral integrity, which was verified by CFA as<br />well.
