The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Group Therapy on the psychological well-being and happiness of Divorce Children. The design of this study was practical and quasi-experimental, with pretest-posttest follow-up and a control group. The study’s statistical population comprised all children of divorce aged 13 to 17 who had access to the social networks Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram in Iran in 2022. Convenience sampling was employed to select thirty individuals, who were then randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy was administered to the experimental group for a total of eight sessions. The Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale (RSPWB) and the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) were employed in this investigation. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used in SPSS software version 26 for data analysis. The results of repeated-measures ANOVA (P˂0.01) showed an increase in psychological well-being and happiness scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. Additionally, the results of the follow-up indicated that the treatment’s effects persisted over time. Given the significant efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Group Therapy, it is advised that this treatment be considered as a means of enhancing the psychological well-being and increasing happiness of divorced children.

This research was conducted to predict work well-being based on the satisfaction of basic psychological needs with the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in nurses in Tehran. The statistical population of the current research was nurses working in three shifts in 4 hospitals in Tehran, which are Razi Hospital, Azadi Hospital, Milad Hospital, and Sina Hospital in 1401, and the sample group was selected by available sampling consisting of 110 people. and were evaluated with three questionnaires, Psychological Flexibility (2010), Perma Questionnaire at the Workplace (2014), and Basic Psychological Needs Standards Questionnaire (2000). The results showed that work well-being can be predicted based on the satisfaction of basic psychological needs with the mediating role of cognitive flexibility. As a result of these findings and research results, it should be said that the existence of all kinds of problems and lack of motivation at work causes stress and lower work well-being and lowers the level of job quality. In this regard, it is suggested to hold meetings aimed at training cognitive flexibility and basic psychological needs for nurses to increase work well-being and reduce stress and problems.

 Depression is one of the most common psychological disorders and a general problem of human life, and is prevalent in almost all countries and cultures. According to the emphasis put in the new research on the use of cultural-religious factors, in the Iranian-Islamic culture, in addition to the scientific principles of Reality Therapy, we can also draw on Islamic teachings to treat depression. For this reason, this research aims to determine the effectiveness of group reality therapy along with Islamic teachings on reducing depression symptoms, deterministic beliefs, and increasing psychological well-being in depressed women.

 This is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest posttest control group design and a 40-day follow-up period. Depressed women referring to Tehran's Nedaye Aramesh-e-Ravan Clinic in the summer of 2021 as the statistical population, out of whom 32 were selected using the purposeful sampling method. Then, they were randomly placed in two experimental and control with 16 participants in each group. To collect data, Becket al.’s Depression Questionnaire and (BDI-II), the scale of "psychological well-being" by Ryff and Keyes, and the scale of "free will and determinism" (FAD) by Paulhas and Margeson were used, and the subjects of the experimental group attended 8 90-minute group reality therapy sessions with Islamic teachings. The data obtained from the research were analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis. In the present study, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.

 The findings showed that Group Reality Therapy, along with Islamic teachings, has a significant effect on reducing symptoms of depression and determinism and increasing psychological well-being (P<0.05). The amount of this effect according to the relative eta square (effect size) in the follow-up period is as follows: 42% of the changes in free will, 60% of the changes in depression, 26% of the changes in self-acceptance, 30% of the changes in positive relations, 29% of the changes in autonomy and 28% of the changes in environmental mastery in the post-exam phase comes from the difference between the test and control groups.

 The present study showed that Group Reality Therapy along with Islamic teachings can be effective in improving depression symptoms, reducing determinism and increasing psychological well-being in depressed people.

Autism spectrum disorder is a persistent neurodevelopmental disability that persistent challenges in the development of social communication, speech, non-verbal communications also behavioral patterns of a child with this disorder can affect mother-child interaction. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the factors affecting mother's adaptation in order to promote mother's health and improve mother-child relations. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the role of patience and moral intelligence in predicting the action control components (action and state orientation) of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder. The statistical population included about 300 mothers with children with autism spectrum disorder who were members of the male-manahad and self-organized group "Negar's Autism Experimental Question and Answer; Ilya's Mother" in Tehran, of which 169 people were selected by convenience sampling method.To measure the research variables, Hossein Sabet Patience Measurment Scale (PS), Lenick and Kiel Moral Intelligence Questionnaire (MIQ), Action Control Scale-Revised (ACS-R) were used in the internet implementation method. Data analysis was done using spss software and descriptive statistical techniques, Pearson correlation analysis and multivariables regression analysis. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between patience and moral intelligence with the components of disengagement, initiative and persistency and a negative and significant relationship with the components of preoccupation, hesitation and volatility. Therefore, the findings indicate the role of patience and moral intelligence in increasing action orientation and reducing state orientation in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder.

One of the most important concerns in school psychology is understanding how students strive for academic success.

The present study aimed to compare the family’s emotional climate, academic motivation, and academic buoyancy between excellent and average students.

In this causal-comparative research, the statistical population consisted of male students in the first year of middle school in districts 5, 18, and 22 of Tehran, Iran, during the academic year 2021-2022. A multistage cluster sampling method was used to recruit 300 students (n=150 per group) from these districts. Data were collected using the Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire by Hill (1964), Harter's Academic Motivation Scale (1980), and Martin and Marsh's (2008) Academic Buoyancy Scale. The collected data were analyzed using Chi-square test, regression analysis, and independent t-test in SPSS-21.

The results indicated a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the family’s emotional climate and its components, including love (P<0.001), caressing (P<0.002), approval (P<0.003), shared experiences (P<0.003), gift-giving (P<0.002), encouragement (P<0.001), trust (P<0.001), and sense of security (P<0.002). Additionally, there were significant differences between the two groups regarding the variables of academic motivation (P<0.001) and academic buoyancy (P<0.001), with the mean scores of excellent students being higher than those of the average group.

In the group of excellent students, the family’s emotional climate, academic motivation, and academic buoyancy were higher than those of the average group. Therefore; strengthening the relationship between family members and students, besides implementing skill development programs that focus on enhancing academic motivation and buoyancy in school education, can have a significant impact on the academic success of students.

The present study aimed to present a cognitive model of resilience and investigate the relationship between executive functions and resilience mediated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

This study used the correlation method of structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study was all firefighters working in 131 fire stations in Tehran, Iran, in the first half of 2018. Among them, 207 firefighters were chosen by random sampling method. To collect data, the Resilience Questionnaire (Connor & Davidson, 2003), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ, Garnefski, 2002), the Classic Stroop test (CST, 1935), and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test computer version (WCST, Berg et al, 1948) was used.

Data analysis, performed using structural equation modeling, demonstrated a significant positive correlation between executive functions and resilience (P<0.01). Similarly, a significant positive correlation was found between adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and resilience (P<0.01). However, a negative correlation was observed between maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and resilience (P<0.01). No significant correlation was found between executive functions and adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Furthermore, the non-linear effect of executive functions on resilience was found to be insignificant (P>0.05).

This model demonstrates a firm fit. The research findings suggest that resilience can be effectively predicted through executive functions. Furthermore, it enhances people's resilience by fostering cognitive emotion regulation strategies and executive functions.

The rational choice theories are empowered on explaining the instrumental crimes such as fraud, malversation and other financial crimes. It is due to the consonant of economic human as agent who can evaluate the costs and benefits of consequences his behavior and the financial nature if instrumental crimes. One of the crucial assumptions of rational choice theory is to consider human being as people who are aware and their behavior is egoistic. There is not any harmony between the real society and mentioned assumption, as we can see there are lots of cooperative behaviors among people. The rational choice theories are not successful in explaining criminal decision making cognitive process. On the other hand, evolutionary psychology as an interactional approach tries to explain that the fraudulently behaviors which end to instrumental crimes, are emerge from cooperative and sustainable strategies. Cooperative and sustainable strategies are emerged as the consequences of evolutionary psychological mechanism such as theory of mind, empathy and the sense of fairness that are related to cooperative strategies. In some cases these mechanisms pave the way for transmission and stability of cooperative behaviors; but in some occasions they provide necessary situation for executing free riding strategies for people. This is a descriptive analytic study that is based on fundamental orientation. The data of this paper has been collected based on secondary resources.

The simplicity and efficiency of rational choice theories are one of the most crucial issues in criminology but they are not successful in explaining expressive crimes. The dominant point of view believes that this failure is due to the irrational nature of expressive crimes; so, the defenders of this theory try to present an interactional and multiple method to cover the weaknesses of rational choice theory. Their attitude is to make a strong base for rational choice theory. This paper is supposed to show the reasons that make the rational choice theory weak in explanation of expressive crimes. Furthermore, it tries to reveal the possibility of understanding expressive crimes in the context of rational choice theory. This research is based on descriptive method and criminology literature. This paper shows that the economic human as a scientific sample is not in compliance with criminal decision-making process. The cognitive mechanism of human being cannot evaluate costs and benefits of behavior before committing a crime. In the opposite aspect, adaptive rationality can explain the psychological mechanisms that are related to expressive crimes and their role in criminal decision- making.

Psychological capital includes hope , resilience, optimism and self-efficacy as part of positive psychology, which has been considered in recent years and relies on the strengths of individuals to help improve their individual and organizational performance.On the other hand, perfectionism, which is the setting of precise criteria for achieving goals, according to its positive and negative dimensions, can be beneficial or destructive in a person's performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and positive and negative perfectionism. The statistical societyof this research includes all female students of Allameh Tabatabai University.The sample of this research is 200 people who have been selected by convenience sampling. The research tools are Lutans Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Frost Perfectionism Questionnaire.Information obtained from questionnaires with correlationhas been analyzed by Pearson correlation. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between research variables(psychological capital and perfectionism)and there is a positive relationship between positive perfectionism and psychological capital and a negative relationship between negative perfectionism and psychological capital so that with increasing positive perfectionism, psychological capital increases and with increasing negative perfectionism psychological capital decreases and viceversa.

Psychological capital include optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy w hich has been considered in recent years and it helps to improve people's performance in different areas. On the other hand, anxiety can lead to a decrease or even destruction of a person's performance, so we examine the relationship between these two concepts.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and anxiety in female students of Allameh Tabatabai University.The statistical population of this study includes all female students of Allameh Tabatabai University.The sample of this research includes 200 people who have been selected and studied by the available method.The tools of this research are Lutans (2007) Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Cattell Anxiety Questionnaire (1958). The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient.Findings showed that there is a significant relationship between research variables so that there is a negative and significant relationship between psychological capital and students' anxiety(r=-0.155&sig=0.028) .That is, with the increase of students 'psychological capital, their anxiety decreases and, conversely, with the decrease of students' psychological capital, their anxiety increases.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of common disabling disorders in adolescents. Many factors contribute to the emergence and maintenance of this disorder, among which cognitive constructs have recently attracted much attention. Therefore, the present study was aimed to predict obsessive-compulsive disorder in middle school students based on the components of mindfulness, cognitive emotion regulation strategies and coping strategies.

This study was descriptive and correlative study. The statistical population consisted of all middle school students in city of Tabriz in academic year of 1397-98. Finally, data of 357 students (200 girls and 157 boys) who had been selected as research sample through multistage cluster sampling method, were analyzed. The research data were collected by Obsessive–Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R, Foa et al. 2002), Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS), the short 18-item version of Garnefski and Kraaij’s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-short) and Endler & Parkerchr('39')s Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis.

The findings showed that self-blame of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (r=0.159, p<0.01) and avoidance-oriented of coping strategies (r=0.058, p<0.01) have a significant positive relationship with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Acceptance without judgment (r=-0.151, p<0.01) and description (r=-0.103, p<0.01) of mindfulness components and task-oriented coping style (r=-0.073, p<0.01) have a significant negative relationship with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Finally, self-blame and Acceptance without judgment were able to explain 3.9 percent of the variance of obsessive-compulsive disorder in two steps.

Considering these results, for preventing adolescents ‘obsessive-compulsive disorder, paying attention to self-blame and acceptance without judgment variables is so necessary.

This study was conducted to aim predict depression based on mindwandering (deliberate-spontaneous) and mindfulness variable in students with the correlation method.380 students of Allame Tabatabai University were selected using voluntary method and complete Beck Depression Inventory, Deliberate and Spontaneous Mind Wandering and Five Facets of Mindfulness (FFMQ). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation- coefficient method and multiple regression. Results showed that deliberate mind wandering and spontaneous mind wandering have positive and direct relationship with depression and between the components of mindfulness, the components of description، action with awareness, disrespect to inner experience and lack of reaction to inner experience have a negative relationship with depression. Also, the results from concurrent regression analyis showed that from mind wandering components, only spontaneous mind wandeing variable and from mindfulness components, only observation, act with awarness, non-judgmental orientation to one’s present experience and nonreact orientation to one’s present experience,respectively, can predict depression.Based on these findings, we can conclude that striving for excellence; spontaneous mind wandeing and observation, act with awarness, non-judgmental orientation to one’s present experience and nonreact orientation to one’s present experience, were the main determinants of depression in students.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), as an autoimmune condition, is among the most prevalent neurological diseases in human. From the monolithic perspective of body, the abnormal immune responses in patients with MS might be accompanied by abnormal responses in the psychological level; in other words, they might have a personality trait at the psychological level involved with this condition. In this regard, a factor which might affect the deficits of immune system is alexithymia. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on alexithymia in patients with MS.

This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and two-month follow-up as well as a control group design. All patients with MS who attended to Alborz MS Society in April and May 2017 comprised the statistical population of this research. In total, 20 patients with MS were selected according to the study inclusion criteria via convenience sampling method. Then, they were randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups. Torento-20 (1994) Inventory was used for assessing alexithymia in the study participants. After determining the appointments, 10 two-hour sessions of ACT were performed for the experimental group. After the completion of the sessions, the questionnaire was completed again by both study groups. Finally, after two months, the follow-up phase was conducted in which the experimental and control groups re-completed the questionnaire. All obtained data were analyzed in SPSS by descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to examine the assumption of normality of data; Levenechr('39')s test to examine the assumption of equality of variances; repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Bonferroni follow-up test. The significance level was set at 0.05.

The current study findings suggested that ACT significantly decreased alexithymia; this impact sustained until follow-up phase. Moreover, the effect of time was significant (η=0.510, p<0.001, F=18.75); accordingly, alexithymia significantly differed in three measurement stages. Additionally, the effect of group was significant which indicates that alexithymia influence was different between the test and control groups (η=0.440, p=0.001, F=14.52(. In addition to the two main effects of time and group, the interaction effect between time and group was also significant (η=0.531, p<0.001, F=20.36). Significant interaction between time and group highlights that the time variable interacted with the groups effect (test and control) and varied at different levels. Besides, following the significant difference between the values of pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages, Bonferroni post-hoc test was conducted to compare the mean values of the two stages to determine which difference between the two stages was statistically significant. There was also a significant difference between the mean scores of alexithymia in the pretest and posttest and follow-up stages.

The obtained data revealed that ACT effectively decreased alexithymia in the investigated patients with MS. As a result, this method could be implemented as an effective measure in healthcare centers. Clinical advisers, therapists, and psychologists could implement ACT to improve cognitive-emotional management and reduce alexithymia in patients with MS.

Abstract The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) on depression and anxiety in women with binge eating disorder. This study was semi experimental pretest - posttest with follow-up session after 6 weeks with the control group. The population of the study include all women with binge eating disorder in Tehran that referred to the obesity treatment, and 16 people were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly divided into two groups (8 control) and (8 experimental). Then two groups completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory ( BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). After data collection, analysis was done by multivariate covariance analysis )MANCOVA) using SPSS-24 software. The significance level was considered at (α>0.05) The mean scores of depression in the experimental group in the pre-test, post-test, follow up, were respectively (42.7, 31.8, 31.5) and in the control group were (41.1, 42.1, 40.1) also, the mean of anxiety in the experimental group in the pre-test, post-test, follow up were (37.7, 25.1, 27.6) and in the control group (36.2, 35.2, 37.3). It can be said that reduction in mean score of anxiety and depression is seen in the experimental group. And these differences were significant between two groups (α ≤ 0.05). Emotion-focused therapy by strengthening emotional processing and emotional awareness makes changes in the emotional schemas and by replacing compatible response, led to reduction in anxiety and depression in the women with binge eating disorder.
