Method: This design of current study was of descriptive correlational type.

Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between cognitive flexibility and its subsets with depression (P<0.001), and there was a significant positive correlation between rumination and depression (P<0.001). The relationship between mindfulness and depression was significant and negative (P<0.001). The results of regression analysis showed that these variables explain 57% of depression.
