People with depression have impaired cognitive functions and psychological symptoms of depression. Depression is characterized by negative biases in different aspects of information processing that is related to vulnerability for the development, higher levels of depressive symptoms, maintenance and even recurrence of depression. Psychologists believe that memory is the foundation of cognitive psychology. Memory is one of the most important cognitive impairments in patients with depression, and its impairment exacerbates their inability to perform daily functions. autobiographical memory is part of the memory. Research has shown that there is a strong link between psychological symptoms and autobiographical memory bias. Depression can lead to impaired memory so that depressed individuals have difficulty retrieving specific memories. In other words, overgeneralization of autobiographical memory occurs. Considering the importance of this issue in the last two decades, extensive research has been done on the relationship between depression and memory, and memory-based depression treatments, which have sometimes yielded contradictory results. Despite these extensive pharmacological and psychological treatments for depression, there are limitations in comprehensiveness and efficacy of these treatments that leads to the need for more research on depression-related interventions. The present study is a systematic review article that has been collected through a complete study of 45 articles in the field of each of the interventions proposed during the article, history of memory and major depression. The aim of this study was to review autobiographical episodic memory-based training interventions for patients with depression to provide a sketch for more extensive research on each of these interventions. Overall, the studies conducted in this study indicated that episodic autobiographical- based memory training interventions have significant effects on the improvement and depressive symptoms in patients with depression.

Marital satisfaction is one of the many keywords that family researchers have focused on for years. Despite extensive studies in this field, so far no research has been done on designing a native pattern and profile for predicting marital satisfaction. The present study aims to design a native operational profile for predicting the success rate in creating marital satisfaction based on the important and determinative components. Inspired by existing research, the most important variables involved in marital satisfaction were identified and a questionnaire was prepared. To discover the existing components and factor structure of marital satisfaction in the Iranian society, 240 married individuals living in Tehran randomly answered the prepared questionnaire regarding marital satisfaction. The data were analyzed by factor analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC). The findings showed that the factor structure has been assigned to love, spouse emotional stability, marital forgiveness, commitment, financial understanding, and sexual satisfaction. The results also showed that the values of these factors are not the same in men and women. Thus, two profiles were obtained for the groups of men and women. The results of this study portrayed that by using these profiles, the level of marital satisfaction can be well predicted in a future oriented perspective. The results of this study can be well used in developing educational programs aimed at promoting marital satisfaction and also in couples counseling.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) as the biggest threat to public health in 2020, is a two-year period that has caused many problems to people around the world. The aim of this study was to compare spirituality, resilience and self-compassion in students with high and low levels of COVID-19 anxiety. The method of the present study is descriptive causal-comparative. The statistical population of the study consisted of male and female students of the Faculty of Literature and Humanities of the University of Guilan in the academic year 2020-2021. Participants were selected by available methods from each group of 135 students with high levels of COVID-19 anxiety and 135 students with low levels of COVID-19 anxiety. Students were assessed using COVID-19 Anxiety Scale Wheaton et al. (2012), spirituality Parsian & Dunning (2009), resilience Connor & Davidson (2003), and Self-Compassion Questionnaire Neff (2003). Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance by SPSS software version 24. Findings from multivariate analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between students with and without COVID-19 anxiety in terms of spirituality, resilience and self-compassion; So that the average scores of spirituality, resilience and self-compassion in students with COVID-19 anxiety are lower compared to students without COVID-19 anxiety (P<0.001). According to the findings of the present study, students with high levels of COVID-19 anxiety have less spirituality and resilience, which in turn aggravates the symptoms in individuals. On the other hand, it was found that self-judgment, feelings of isolation and over-assimilation are high in people with COVID-19 anxiety; For this reason, psychologists and counselors need to pay more attention to these areas in order to reduce the unreasonable severity of anxiety in students.

The aim of this study was to compare the implicit and explicit associations of aggression and anxiety in boy adolescents with and without bullying behavior. The research method was descriptive correlational and its statistical population included 12 to 19 year old male students in Tehran in the first and second secondary school that 113 students were selected by cluster sampling method in the academic year of 2019-2020 In order to identify students with and without bullying, the Peer Bullying Nomination Form (Pekarik et al. 1976) was used.

Data were analyzed by using average comparison test and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the difference in implicit association scores of aggression and anxiety in two groups with and without bullying was significant; But only the explicit association scores of aggression were significant in two groups and the explicit association of anxiety was not different in two groups. Results also showed that explicit and implicit associations of aggression, and implicit association of anxiety can predict bullying behavior with confidence (p≥ 0.0001). These results confirm the role of implicit and explicit associations in the clinical field; and helps to better understand bullying behavior, to be considered in the development of educational programs and psychological interventions.
