This research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of paradox therapy together with time correspondence (PTC) and emotional therapy (EFT) on family adaptability and emotional self-regulation of women with marital conflict, so it seems more necessary to study the women's community. On the other hand Also, this research tries to compare the effectiveness of PTC and EFT therapy on family adaptability and emotional self-regulation of women with marital conflict. Considering the necessity of discussing marital conflict and the sensitivity of women's society, this article tries to compare two treatments that have been used together. Uncompared Andra compares for the first time the two variables of family adaptability and emotional self-regulation. In addition, the treatment of paradox in a group form and regarding the two variables mentioned has not been investigated so far, and from this point of view, it is a novel research. Also, emotional therapy focused on adaptability Family and marital burnout have not been addressed simultaneously in previous researches, and the effectiveness of these two treatments on the stated components has not been evaluated simultaneously and in a group format, so it is necessary to study them in order to strengthen the scientific foundation for the important issue of marital conflict. Therefore, in this research, the effectiveness of comparing the effectiveness of paradox therapy with PTC and emotion-focused therapy (EFT, family adaptability and emotional self-regulation of women with marital conflict) was discussed.

There were three groups, including the paradox therapy groups (PTC and emotion-oriented therapy (EFT) and the control group in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up stages. The statistical population included women with marital conflict in Lanjan city in the winter of 1401-1402, who during Several invitations and preliminary meetings were held to improve couple relationships. Among the 284 participants, 154 people expressed their desire to participate in the research, among them 45 people based on the entry and exit criteria and through a structured interview in a purposeful sampling method with a conflict questionnaire. Marital Kansas Egman et al., 1985 (KMCS) selected and then randomly placed in three groups of PTC and EFT and control group, each group included 15 people. Married women with an age range of 18 to 50 years, with children, with literacy and informed consent to participate in the research, not receiving mood medications and parallel treatments, and the exclusion criteria were not wanting to be absent for more than 1 session in training sessions. Ethical considerations such as confidentiality, the right to withdraw from the meetings, informing about the research, using the data only in line with the research goals and providing training or 2 free counseling sessions to the control group after the follow-up period were considered. The Ethics Committee of the Biomedical Research Center of the Islamic Azad University and Ahad Khorasgan reviewed the present study with the code of ethics and approved it with the code of ethics IR.IAU.KHUISF.REC.1402.065.

The results showed that PTC and EFT have a significant difference compared to the control group in both post-test stages.

The results showed that only paradox therapy along with schedule is effective on the component of family adaptability, and emotion-oriented therapy had no effect on family adaptability. Also, both treatments were effective on emotional self-regulation, but emotion-oriented therapy is more meaningful than paradoxical therapy (p>0.05). Therefore, it is suggested to use paravox therapy with a time schedule for family adaptability and for emotional self-regulation, while it is possible to use both treatments, it is preferable to use emotion-oriented therapy.Conclussion: On the other hand, the results showed that emotion-oriented therapy is not effective on family paternal adjustment, these results were not consistent with the results of the following research, because our statistical population was women with marital conflict, but in the following research, the statistical population was different. Finally, the results of this research showed that paradox therapy along with time correspondence (PTC) is only effective for family adaptation and both treatments are effective for the emotional regulation of women with marital conflict, preferably paradox therapy. This research has a research limitation in sampling, because only the women's community examined marital conflict, therefore, in future research, it is suggested that the sample of men with marital conflict or groups of couples with conflict should also be examined in order to determine a clearer path of therapeutic effectiveness. To make it possible to generalize to more target groups, at the practical level, paradox therapy can be used for family adaptability and both therapies with preference for emotion-oriented therapy for the emotional regulation of women with marital conflict in family education centers and counseling centers.

This study aimed the relation between perfectionism and psychological well-being considering moderating role of the mindfulness and acceptance for university students and is done by descriptive and correlational research method. Sample group included 341 people and selected by multistage cluster random sampling method. Questionnaires used to gather information were: the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-being, Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Acceptance & Action Questionnaire II. Analysing the acquired data via A.F.Hayes PROCESS procedure extension in regression analysis for SPSS showed that mindfulness and acceptance were the positive predictors of psychological well-being; perfectionism in combination with mindfulness was a significant predictor of psychological well-being but in combination with acceptance was not a significant predictor of psychological well-being. The moderating effect of mindfulness was more significant than the moderating effect of acceptance in predicting psychological well-being on the bases of perfectionism; however, statistically, the moderating roles of mindfulness and acceptance, regarding the relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being were not significant. Thus, it can be said that decreased perfectionism is associated with increased psychological well-being; and higher levels of mindfulness and acceptance in students, we would expect increased psychological well-being. Moreover, increased psychological well-being based on decreased perfectionism, was more significant in higher levels of mindfulness than in higher levels of acceptance among students. But this effect was not statistically significant.
