Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of Modular Cognitive-‎Behavioral Therapy on facial expression bias and fear of negative evaluation in paranoid ‎students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test with control group.‎‏ ‏The research community was composed of all students referring to the counseling center of kashmar University of Medical Sciences in the year 2017-16, who were diagnosed according to ‎Multidimensional Clinical Questionnaire-3 and DSM-‎‏5‏‎ criteria with paranoid attribution disorder ‎‎(According to statistics obtained from the center 60 people)‎‏.‏‎ Of these, 20 students with paranoid ‎characteristics were selected through purposeful sampling and were randomly assigned to ‎experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 16 sessions of Modular ‎Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (HRT), Chuppita and did not receive interventional ‎control.Multidimensional Clinical Questionnaire and Objective Fear Scale , were completed ‎before and after the intervention by both groups. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS-22 ‎software and inferential statistics of covariance analysis. The results of analysis of covariance ‎showed that by eliminating the effect of pre-test scores on facial expression bias and fear of ‎negative evaluation as a scattering variable, the main effect of Modular cognitive-behavioral ‎therapy on facial expression bias and fear of negative evaluation in post-test is significant ‎‎(P‎‏>‏‎0/05). Therefore, Modular cognitive behavioral therapy can be used as an effective method to ‎reduce interpretation bias and fear of negative evaluation of people with paranoid traits.‎
