Aim: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Bowen's intergenerational therapy and compare it with the McMaster model on anxiety, self-efficacy, and self-control of men and women on the verge of divorce. Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test and the control group with a two-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of men and women who visited counseling centers in District 6 of Tehran in 2020. After screening with Zank Anxiety Scale (1971), 45 men and women were selected by convenience method and were randomly assigned to experimental groups of Bowen's intergenerational model (n=15), experimental group of McMaster model (n=15), and the control group (n=15). Both experimental groups underwent Bowen's intergenerational model (1981) and McMaster model (2007) interventions for eight 90-minute sessions, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The research tools included the general self-efficacy scale by Sherer and Maddux (1982), and the self-control Scale by Tangney, Bamster, and Boone (2004). The data were analyzed using the mixed model repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: The results indicated the effect of Bowen's intergenerational intervention on scores of anxiety (F=5.73, P=0.024), self-efficacy (F=6.16, P=0.019), and self-control (F=9.24, P=0.005), and also the McMaster model intervention on scores of anxiety (F=5.25, P=0.030), self-efficacy (F=8.56, P=0.007), and self-control (F=8.56, P=0.007), and the stability of the effects at the follow-up stage. Conclusion: The results of the study indicated that Bowen's intergenerational intervention and McMaster model were suitable methods to increase self-efficacy and self-control and decrease anxiety in women and men with marital conflict and on the verge of divorce.

Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the aggression prediction model based on communication patterns, family cohesion, and differentiation, considering the mediating role of resilience in male adolescents. Method: The research method was descriptive-correlational, and it had a structural equation modeling type. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all second-grade high school students in Tehran in the academic year of 2019-2020, and 500 students were selected by random cluster sampling. Research tools included Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), the Novaco Anger Scale (1986), Ritchie & Fitzpatrick Communication Patterns Questionnaire (1990), Scorne and Friedlander Self-Differentiation Scale (1998), and the Family Cohesion Scale By David H. Olson, Joyce Portner, and Yoav Lavee (1985). The structural equation modeling (SEM) by AMOS software was used to analyze data. Result: The results of the conceptual model test indicated that fit indices of the research model were in a good status (GFI=0.95). Communication patterns of dialogue, family cohesion, and differentiation had a direct negative effect on aggression (P=0.05). The indirect effect of the communication pattern of dialogue, family cohesion, and differentiation on adolescent aggression due to resilience was confirmed (P=0.05). Conclusion: Understanding the underlying factors of aggression not only led to a deeper understanding of adolescents, but also provided bases for taking into account their characteristics and differences in planning and the use of educational facilities, and thus considering expectations according to their age, psychological features, and characteristics.

In this study, the experimental group received eight sessions of the emotion regulation model of Gras (2003) and each session lasted 90 minutes. The repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results: The findings indicated that the emotion regulation is effective on the symptoms of emotional turmoil (F = 13.00, p = 0.001), disappointment (F = 31.25, P = 0.001), fear of intimacy (F = 52.30, P = 0.001) and impulsivity (F = 71.58, p = 0.001). Also, this impact was stable in the follow-up stage as well. Conclusions: The results indicated that it is better to use group therapy to improve the condition of women with borderline personality disorders.

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and attachment styles in predicting post-traumatic growth. Method: the research was descriptive-correlational, and the population consisted of Iranian immigrant female students who were studying in a university outside of Iran in 2021. To this end, 145 Iranian female immigrant students were selected using the snowball sampling method to fill out the questionnaires of Tedeschi and Calhoun’s post-traumatic growth (1996), Hazen and Shaver attachment styles questionnaire (1993), and the Garnefski and Kraaij’s cognitive emotion regulation strategies (2006) via the links sent to them. The data were analyzed by SPSS 24 software, Pearson regression and correlation test. Result: The results showed that the variables of avoidant attachment style and adaptive emotion regulation strategies are significant predictors of post-traumatic growth. According to the beta values, the predicting power of avoidance attachment style and adaptive emotion regulation strategies showed a direct relationship with intensities (beta coefficients) of 0.23 and 0.24 and the ambivalent/anxious attachment style is a negative predictor of post-traumatic growth; however, non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies and secure attachment style were not good predictors of post-traumatic growth. Conclusion: according to findings, the variables of avoidant attachment style and adaptive emotion regulation strategies were direct significant predictors of post-traumatic growth and can provide the grounds for such a growth; moreover, the variable of ambivalent/anxious attachment style was directly the negative predictors of post-traumatic growth and could prevent this type of growth

Aim: The present study aimed to predict marital instability based on marital justice and coping styles with the mediating role of work-family conflict in conflicting couples of the Law Enforcement Force. Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational, and its statistical population consisted of couples who visited law enforcement force counseling centers in Tehran in 2019, and 300 individuals were selected as a statistical sample using the convenience sampling method (voluntary) and they responded to the marital instability scale by Edwards et al. (1987), the Marital Justice Scale by Ghaffari et al. (2013), the Ways of Coping questionnaire by Lazarus and Folkman (1985), and the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire by Lezent Mirez, Berleg, and Mucmarian (1996). Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis were used in SPSS to analyze data. Results: The results of path analysis indicated that coping styles and marital justice directly predicted marital instability in conflicting couples, and work-family conflict played a significant mediating role in the relationship between problem-oriented coping style and marital instability and the relationship between emotion-oriented coping style and marital instability (P=0.01). Furthermore, the work-family conflict played a significant mediating role in the relationship between marital justice and instability (P=0.01). Conclusion: Given the roles of coping styles, marital justice, and work-family conflict in predicting marital instability, it can be concluded that teaching effective coping styles, paying attention to role conflict (work-family conflict), and teaching the division of responsibilities between couples can prevent injuries that threaten the marital stability.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the place of custom in white marriage from the point of view of Islamic jurisprudence. In all religions and according to the viewpoint of all sociologists, the family is the first and most important institution in which a person is born and in the end grows and excels. In fact, the importance of the family is to the extent that it has been strongly emphasized in all the holy books. Continuing the generation and having children is the most necessary and the main fruit of marriage, which is also recommended by all religions. White marriage is the biggest scourge of all the mentioned cases. Method: This research was done based on library sources and descriptive-analytical method. Findings: Among the reasons for turning to white marriage in Iran are unemployment, wrong traditions such as heavy dowries, back-breaking wedding expenses, the gap between the rich and the poor, etc. Also, the significant increase in single households as a result of independence, generational conflicts, occupational and educational migration can be considered as one of the important factors of the spread of white marriage in the country from a sociological point of view. Couples who choose white marriage have less mental health than people who get married officially, and have a much lower level of life satisfaction. Not being clear about the boundaries of responsibilities and obligations in joint life and expecting financial participation and income sharing, people not being targeted for economic investment and financial growth are other issues that people face in white marriage.

Aim: This study analyzes the development process of the instability of emotional-romantic relationships in a contemporary Iranian family. Method: The research question has the following formulation: why and how can the development process become the basis for the instability of emotional relationships in the family? From a sociological point of view, through what mechanisms can the development process cause the instability of emotional-emotional relationships in the family and destabilize the emotional-emotional relationships between husband and wife? In order to answer this question, the researcher has conducted in-depth interviews between Tehrani couples using the qualitative method of ground theory. The participants of this research were 54 couples from Tehran, who were selected through a targeted and accessible selection method; The number of participants has been determined by data saturation. Results: The data extracted from the interviews were analyzed with three coding stages. Finally, among 1243 raw data, 923 concepts, 165 sub-categories and 56 categories were obtained. The main axes of the research were the transitional conditions of society and the extent of virtual space. Finally, the selective coding of the research showed that the main phenomenon in the instability of emotional-romantic relationships in today's Iranian family is the phenomenon of the forty-piece identity. Conclusion: The fluidity of identity and its instability has caused Iranian families, as before, to not consider themselves bound and committed to the marriage contract, and family instability in society is increasing.

The statistical population of the current study was all the male and female students of the second secondary level in the 3rd district of Tehran in the year 1400. The number of sample people was 400 students who were selected by cluster method (4 schools). The research tools included the list of child behavioral disorders (Achenbach, 1991), the family environment questionnaire (Radolph Moss and Pernice Moss, 1976) and the coping strategies questionnaire (Lazarus and Folkman, 1988). The collected data were analyzed by structural equation modeling method. Results: The results of data analysis showed that the model has a good fit, The results showed that the family environment had no direct effect on internalizing behavior, the relationship between family environment and internalizing behavior is directly equal (t = -1.42 and β = -0.08). Conclusion: Therefore, the hypothesis raised in connection with the existence of a direct effect of the family environment on the internalizing behavior of adolescents is rejected with 95% certainty. Also, the indirect effect of the family environment on the internalizing behavior of adolescents through coping strategies is confirmed with 95% confidence (p<0.05).
