The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to extramarital affairs based on mood apathy, differentiation and sexual intimacy in cultural women. The present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of all cultural women in Shiraz in the year 99-400. From the statistical population, 381 people were selected by available sampling method and studied using an electronic questionnaire. Data were collected using the Watley (2008) Attitudes Towards Extramarital Relationships Questionnaire, Scorne & Smith (2003) Self-Determination, Bagarozi Sexual Intimacy (2001), and Toronto (1994) Emotional Mood Disorder. After collecting and extracting data, participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression and SPSS-24 statistical software. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship (0.01) between the score of differentiation (emotional reaction, my position, emotional breakdown and fusion with others) and sexual intimacy with the tendency to extramarital affairs and between mood dysphoria and its components (difficulty in diagnosis Emotions, difficulty in describing emotions and thinking with external orientation) have a significant positive relationship with the tendency to extramarital relationships (0.01). The results also showed that differentiation with beta coefficient (-0.16) and sexual intimacy with beta coefficient (-0.36) in a negative and mood dysphoria with beta coefficient (0.13) in a positive, predictive power of tendency Have extramarital affairs in cultural women. According to the results of regression tables, the variables of differentiation, mood dysphoria and sexual intimacy have the ability to predict extramarital relationships.

This study was aimed to identify the effect of the consequences of virtual environment on the lifestyle of couples in Shiraz.

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 purpose of this study was to check the psychometric properties of the Persian Individual Protective Factors Index (IPFI). In the current survey, 481 high school students (243 girls) were recruited via multistage cluster sampling. Individual Protective Factors Index was prepared by translation and back translation, and then used for data gathering. Factor analysis using principle component method revealed a 4-factor structure for the IPFI, namely Social Bonding, Personal Competence, Social Competence, and Social Coherence subscales. The correlation coefficient of the Social Bonding, Personal Competence, Social Competence, and Social Coherence with total score were 0.70, 0.78, 0.67 and 0.69, respectively (p≤0.01). The respective alpha coefficients for the above dimensions were 0.86, 0.96, 0.82, and 0.82, respectively. The reliability was confirmed by the split-half method. The Persian IPFI is a valid and reliable research instrument.
