The statistical population of this study included all the female teenagers' high school students of Ardabil in 2016, which by adopting a cluster sampling technique, a sample including 180 individuals of teenage boys were chosen from various locations of the city. Wells' meta-cognitive belief scale, Gillanders’ cognitive fusion scale, Reis' self-compassion scale and positive and negative affection of Watson et al. Research data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of above table show that there is a significant positive relationship between meta-cognitive belief and positive affection (p < 0.01). Also there is a significant negative relationship between cognitive fusion and positive affection (p < 0.01). Also there are significant positive relationships between self-compassion, human common sense, mindfulness and total self-compassion with positive affection (p < 0.01). There are also significant negative relationships between self-judgment, isolation and excessive self-imitation with positive affection (p < 0.01). Finally, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between meta-cognitive belief, cognitive fusion and self-compassion with positive and negative affection in female teenagers.
