物质依赖是世界上最大的问题和担忧之一。它阻碍了社会的发展，并造成各种问题，如公共健康下降、死亡率上升、社会和家庭创伤增加、失去教育和职业机会、卷入司法系统以及形成药物滥用循环。本研究的目的是确定元认知和身体形象在预测药物滥用者述情障碍中的作用。研究样本包括来自伊朗扎黑丹、萨里和内里兹三个城市的成瘾治疗和咨询中心的成瘾者（年龄在10到70岁之间的男性和女性）。参与者采用随机抽样的方式进行选择。采用元认知策略问卷（MCQ-30）、体质自我描述问卷（PSDQ）和多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）进行数据收集。采用Pearson相关法和回归分析对假设进行检验。本研究结果显示，述情障碍与认知意识分量表相关性最高（r = 0.305; P < 0.01）。述情障碍与身体形象之间无显著相关性。基于多元回归分析，三个预测因子解释了11%的方差（R2 = 0）。11, f = 3.981；P < 0.01)。认知意识显著预测9%的方差（β = 0.305; P < 0.01），其他分量表预测约2%。这些发现表明，元认知在预测药物滥用者述情障碍中具有重要作用，这强调了预防措施的必要性。
Substance dependency is one of the biggest problems and worries of the world. It stunts the growth of society and causes various problems such as reduction in public health, increase in mortality, rise in social and domestic traumas, loss of educational and occupational opportunities, involvement with the judicial system, and development of the substance-abuse cycle. The aim of this study was to determine the role of metacognition and body image in predicting alexithymia in substance abusers. The research sample included addicts (males and females aged 10 to 70 years) who referred to the addiction treatment and counseling centers of three Iranian cities of Zahedan, Sari, and Neyriz. Participants were selected by random sampling. The metacognitive strategy questionnaire (MCQ-30), physical self-description questionnaire (PSDQ), and Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) were used for data collection. The hypotheses were tested using the Pearson’s correlation method and regression analysis. According to the results of the current study, the highest correlation was between alexithymia and the cognitive awareness subscale (r = 0.305; P < 0.01).There was no significant correlation between alexithymia and body image. Based on the multiple regression analysis, the three predictors explained 11% of the variance (R2 = 0. 11, F = 3.981; P < 0.01). Cognitive awareness significantly predicted 9% of the variance (β = 0.305; P < 0.01), and the other subscales predicted about 2%. These findings demonstrated that metacognition had an important role in predicting alexithymia in the substance abusers, which underscores the necessity of precautionary measures.
