Aim: This study is aimed to determine the structural model of marital commitment based on communication patterns among women: The mediating role of emotional intelligence. Method: The research method was correlational, and the statistical population included all married women who were referred to counseling centers in Tehran in 2018. Accordingly, the simple random sampling method was chosen randomly to select the counseling centers. Therefore, the city of Tehran was first divided into five regions: north, south, east, west, and center. Afterward, three counseling centers were randomly selected from each region, and 300 women were selected based on Sample Power software. Then Adams & Jones (1997) Marital Commitment Questionnaire, Christensen & Sulawesi (1984) Couples Communication Patterns Questionnaire, and Bar-On (2002) Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were completed, and the data were analyzed using Smart Pls structural equations. Results: The findings showed that the direct path of the reciprocal constructive pattern (P=0.01, β =0.22) and emotional intelligence (P=0.05, β =0.28) had a significant effect on marital commitment. The indirect path of reciprocal constructive pattern and avoidance pattern mediated by emotional intelligence has had a positive effect on marital commitment. Conclusion: For the cohesion and creation of a desirable marital relationship, it is possible to improve couples' relationships by strengthening the emotional intelligence of each couple, the type of communication patterns, and the interaction of their psychological elements.

Aim: This study was aimed to identify the effect of the consequences of virtual environment on the lifestyle of couples in Shiraz. Method: This is a qualitative phenomenological research and the study sample included the couples in Shiraz that referred to counseling centers. In this research, the samples reached saturation stage with 11 couples. The tools used in this study included a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed by using the analytical model of Streubert and Carpenter (2003). Results: The damages resulting from the virtual environment to couples' relationships included two main codes: dysfunctional interpersonal patterns and dysfunctional intrapersonal patterns. The main code of dysfunctional interpersonal patterns includes sub-themes of marital problems, extramarital affairs, intimacy reduction, communication problems, and inability to manage conflict resolution. And the main code of dysfunctional interpersonal patterns also includes sub-themes of Internet addiction, inability to control emotions, lifestyle, and uncertainty of values. Conclusion: The results showed that excessive use of the virtual environment by each couple leads to marital lifestyle, sexual problems, extramarital affairs, reduced intimacy, communication problems, and reduced conflict resolution management.

Aim: This study was aimed to predict the relationship with the spouse based on wisdom and thought control strategies with the moderating role of the dimensions of family relationships (relationship with one's family, relationship with the spouse's family) and triangulation among married women in Kashan. Method: The research method was descriptive and correlational, and the statistical population included all married women in Kashan. A sample of 210 married women was selected by the convenience sampling method from different areas of Kashan city. The research tools included Ardelt Wisdom Scales (2013), Wells and Davies (1994), Thought Control Strategies, Barnes & Olson (2004) Family Relationships, and Peasant and Yousefi Triangulation (2019). The data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation method and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The results of Pearson correlation showed that all predictor and moderator variables have a significant correlation with the factor of relationship with the spouse (P <0.05). Also, the results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that moderating variables of communication neutralize the role of wisdom in the prediction model and change the role of thought control in predicting the relationship with the spouse from positive to negative (from 0.18 = β to β = 0.054) and increase its predictive power. Conclusion: According to these results, it can be said that communication variables in couple relationships can change the nature of psychological variables. Therefore, the optimal use of wisdom and thought control management among women is not beneficial regardless of family relationships.

Aim: The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of religious marital satisfaction in the relationship between couples' feeling of happiness with their differentiation of self (DoS) and early object relations. Methods: The present study was descriptive and correlational with a structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population of the study consisted of couples, who had been living together for 10 years in Tehran in 2020, and we selected 300 individuals by a convenience sampling method and included them in the study. To collect data, we utilized the Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI) by Skowron (1998), the object relation quality inventory by Bell (1995), the feeling of happiness inventory by Lentz (2010), and the religious marital satisfaction inventory by Rezapour Mirsaleh (2014). We used structural equation modeling to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that all indices of model fit with data had acceptable values (P=0.01). According to the results, the differentiation of self and the quality of object relations had indirect effects on the feeling of happiness mediated by religious marital satisfaction at a low confidence interval of 0.11 and an upper limit of 0.26 at a significance level (P=0.01). Conclusion: According to the research results, counselors and psychologists active in the field of marriage can benefit from the present results to improve and enrich the process of education and promote mental health in families.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in improving happiness and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in methamphetamine users. Methods: The research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a one-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all married male methamphetamine users who visited public and private medical centers (including outpatient centers and residential centers) in Kermanshah in 2018. Among whom, we selected 30 men as research samples by a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned them to experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. We evaluated both groups by the emotional cognitive regulation strategy questionnaire by Garnefski et al. (2001) and the happiness inventory by Argyle and Lu (1990). The experimental group then underwent eight 120-minute sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy intervention by Kabat-Zinn (2004). We analyzed data using the repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The results indicated the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on components of cognitive-emotional regulation strategies, namely self-blame (p < 0.001, F=25.76), blaming others (p < 0.001, F=22.76), rumination (p < 0.001, F=21.76), positive refocusing (p < 0.001, F=29.71), planning refocusing (p < 0.001, F=27.59), positive reappraisal (p < 0.001, F=26.51), underestimation (p < 0.001, F=21.91), acceptance (p < 0.001, F=20.63), Catastrophizing (p < 0.001, F=29.23), and happiness (p < 0.001, F=86.29), and the stability of the effect was in the follow-up phase. Conclusion: According to the results, we suggest psychologists and psychotherapists use the results of the present study to increase adaptive-cognitive emotional strategies and happiness and reduce maladaptive emotional cognitive strategies in drug abusers and prevent negative consequences of addiction on the family by using effective approaches and providing health conditions in the family system.

Aim: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and cognitive-behavioral play therapy in improving the time perception of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design, and a control group with a two-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all people who visited Shayan Rehabilitation Clinic in 2019-2020. A total of 59 individuals were selected by a convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants were evaluated with the Conners rating scale- short-revised form (1960), and the theoretical time reproduction test by Mirlou and Asadzadeh (2011). The experimental group received Jackson Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (2018), and another experimental group received Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy by Jafari et al. (2002) in twelve sessions twice a week. Data were analyzed using the repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: The results indicated that the mean scores of short time perception (F=4.01, P=0.001) were significantly different between the two experimental groups, and the difference in the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy group in the post-test was significantly higher than the pre-test and the cognitive-behavioral play therapy, and there was also a significant difference between mean scores of long time perception (F=13.45, P=0.001) in the two experimental groups. The difference in the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy group in the post-test was greater than the pre-test and the cognitive-behavioral play therapy, and there was a better improvement in the participants, and the difference was also statistically significant (P=0.01). Conclusion: Given the significant effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and cognitive-behavioral play therapy on time perception of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it is suggested using these two methods to increase the children's health.

Aim: The present study aimed to explain the structural relationship between psychological capital and mental toughness and the mediating role of ambiguity tolerance with happiness. Methods: The study had a correlational design, and its statistical population consisted of students of Tehran Azad University, Research Sciences Branch in the academic year of 2020-2021. Among whom, 380 male and female students were randomly selected and responded to the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) by Argyle et al. (1987), Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) by Luthans and Avolio (2007), Mental Toughness Questionnaire by Clough et al. (2002), and Ambiguity Tolerance Scale by Baher and Dagas (2002). Data were analyzed using correlation coefficients, and path analysis with SPSS and AMOS. Results: The results of the Pearson correlation test indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between components of psychological capital (resilience, optimism, hope, and self-efficacy), components of mental toughness (commitment, struggle, restraint, and trust), and ambiguity tolerance with students' happiness (P=0.01). The results of the modeling test indicated that the happiness model was fitted based on psychological capital and mental toughness with an emphasis on the mediating role of ambiguity tolerance. Ambiguity tolerance played a mediating role in the relationship between psychological capital and mental toughness with students' happiness (P=0.01). Based on the modeling results, psychological capital and mental toughness (β= 0.43) could explain 43% of the variance of students' ambiguity tolerance. Furthermore, psychological capital, mental toughness, and ambiguity tolerance (β=0.52) could explain 52% of the variance of students' happiness. Conclusion: The research results indicated that the level of students' happiness can increase based on positive psychology, and personality traits such as psychological capital and mental toughness, as well as improving appropriate environmental perception by strengthening students' ambiguity tolerance, and taking effective measures towards strengthening happiness and quality of life of students and people in society that are essential due to conditions imposed by the COVID-19 epidemic.

The statistical population consisted of men and women with type 2 diabetes who visited the Kish Island Diabetes Association from April to September 2020. After the screening, 45 individuals were selected by the purposive method and were randomly included in three groups, namely cognitive-behavioral therapy (n=15), schema therapy (n=15), and control group (n=15) after matching. Neff's self-compassion scale (2003) was the research tool. In the study, the cognitive-behavioral therapy group was treated by the Leahy treatment package (2004), and the schema therapy group by the treatment package of Yang et al. (2006) in eight 90-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: The research results indicated that the cognitive-behavioral therapy and schema therapy groups were effective in improving self-compassion (F=10.70, P=0.018) in men and women with type 2 diabetes. The findings also indicated that cognitive-behavioral therapy and schema therapy groups were effective in improving self-compassion (F=4.54, P=0.018), self-judgment (F=6.25, P=0.005), and projective identification (F=3.45, P=0.043), and the effect was also stable at the follow-up stage. The results of the post hoc test also indicated that there was no difference between scores of cognitive-behavioral and schema therapy groups in self-compassion and self-compassion, self-judgment, and projective identification (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, self-compassion was created based on the individuals' self-beliefs and thoughts; hence, both treatments had the same effect since cognitive-behavioral therapies and schema therapy modified the individuals' beliefs and opinions in this field.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) and mindfulness-based schema therapy (MBST) on emotion regulation in women with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group with a follow-up phase. The statistical population included all women with BPD who were referred to counseling and psychology centers in Tehran in 2021, of which 45 were selected by convenient sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (15 in the EFT group, 15 people in the MBST group, and 15 in the control group). All three groups were first assessed using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) (Gras et al., 2003). The EFT group then received Susan Johnson (2019) therapy package and the MBST group received Young, Colosco, and Vishar (2003) for ten 90-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: The research results indicated that the cognitive-behavioral therapy and schema therapy groups were effective in improving self-compassion (F=10.70, P=0.018) in men and women with type 2 diabetes. The findings also indicated that cognitive-behavioral therapy and schema therapy groups were effective in improving self-compassion (F=4.54, P=0.018), self-judgment (F=6.25, P=0.005), and projective identification (F=3.45, P=0.043), and the effect was also stable at the follow-up stage. The results of the post hoc test also indicated that there was no difference between scores of cognitive-behavioral and schema therapy groups in self-compassion and self-compassion, self-judgment, and projective identification (p>0.05). Conclusion: Considering the greater effectiveness of EFT than MBST, it can be concluded that EFT can be used as an effective therapy in the treatment of BPD.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation therapy on reading and writing skills among students with learning disorders. Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a follow-up and a control group. The statistical population of the study included the students of primary schools in Ardabil who had learning disorders (2018-2019). The convenience sampling method was used in this study, in which 50 people were selected using this method and were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 20 sessions of cognitive rehabilitation intervention based on the hierarchical model of Solberg and Mitter (2001). The reading and writing skills questionnaire of Karami et al. (2005) was used to collect the data. The repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and SPSS software were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings indicated that cognitive rehabilitation training significantly reduced the mean of reading disorder sores (F = 18.99, P = 0.001) and writing disorder scores (F = 41.01, P = 0.001) in the experimental group. Also, this result was stable at the follow-up stage (P <0.05). Conclusion: The obtained results are indicating the impact of cognitive rehabilitation therapy on reading and writing skills among students with learning disorders. Accordingly, it is better for educational centers to use cognitive rehabilitation therapy to assist the development of reading and writing skills among students with learning disorders.

The aim of the present study was to Predicting the marriage expectation based on the Communication Beliefs and Attitudes toward Marriage in girls on the eve of Marriage The research design is descriptive and correlational.The statistical population of the present study included all female students on the verge of marriage at Payame Noor University in Tehran in 1399. Using the available sampling method, 145 girls on the verge of marriage were selected as a statistical sample and Responded to the Idleson-Epstein Communication Beliefs Questionnaire (RBI), the MAS Bratton-Rosen Marriage Attitude Scale (1998), and the Jones-Nelson Marriage Expectation Scale (1996). The results of Pearson correlation coefficient and regression showed that communication beliefs and all its components have a significant positive relationship with pessimistic expectations and idealistic expectations of marriage and a significant negative relationship with realistic expectations of marriage(p<0/05). In addition, among attitudes toward marriage, pessimistic and idealistic attitudes have a significant positive relationship with pessimistic and idealistic expectations, and optimistic and realistic attitudes have a significant negative relationship with pessimistic expectations. Optimistic and realistic attitudes have a significant negative relationship with idealistic and realistic expectations of marriage and pessimistic and idealistic attitudes have a significant negative relationship with realistic expectations of girls' marriage on the eve of marriage. In general, communication beliefs and attitudes toward marriage are 0.83 correlated with pessimistic expectations of girls marrying on the eve of marriage. This means that 69% of the changes in pessimistic expectations of girls' marriage on the eve of marriage are explained by the linear combination of communication beliefs and attitudes toward marriage.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of the level of satisfaction with different types of marriage on the continuity and quality of married life among married women in Tehran. Methods: The current research is of an applied type, which was done with a questionnaire and a survey method. The statistical population of this study was all married women in Tehran in districts 1, 2, 6, 8, 12, which was calculated as a sample population of 384 people through Cochran's formula. Bradbury, Fincham and Beach (2000) and Enrich Olson's Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (1998) have been obtained. The data analysis was done in two parts, in the first part and model design from PLS software in the second part and hypothesis testing from the regression test was performed with SPSS 22 software. Results: The results showed that the types of marriage have a relationship with the quality of life and its continuity (sig≤0.05), but in the case of forced marriage, this relationship is inverse (sig>0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the way the marriage takes place will affect the fate of a couple's marriage. Therefore, culture building here is very necessary to prevent forced marriages at very young ages and also to eliminate the norms and subcultures that hinder marriage and family formation.
