The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of cognitive- non motor rehabilitation on the working memory and cognitive flexibility of the children with disability in reading learning. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest and control group design. Follow-up period was administered during two months. The statistical population of the study included second- to fourth-grade children with reading learning disability in zone 6 of Tehran in academic year 2021-22. Thirty seven children with learning reading disability were selected through purposive sampling method and randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received twelve cognitive- non motor rehabilitation sessions during six weeks. The applied instruments in this study included N-BACK software (Jaeggi, et.al. 2008), Tower of London Procedure (Shallice, 1982). The collected data were analyzed via SPSS23 software through mixed ANOVA and follow-up tests. The results showed that cognitive- non motor rehabilitation has significant effect on working memory (p<0001) and cognitive flexibility (p<0001) of the children with reading learning disability. According to the results of the present study it can be concluded that cognitive- non motor rehabilitation can be used an effective method to improve working memory and cognitive flexibility of the children with reading learning disability through influencing cortex and applying purposeful cognitive-motor exercises.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on happiness, mental health and quality of life of mothers with autistic children. The statistical population of this research consists of 30 people (15 people each in the experimental and control groups) who were selected by available random sampling and then randomly in two experimental groups (treatment based on acceptance and commitment) and the control group. were assigned It was a pre-test-post-test research with a control group, and both groups were pre-tested based on the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Mental Health Questionnaire, and Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the experimental groups were exposed to independent variables in 8 90-minute sessions (treatment based on on acceptance and commitment). Then, both groups were given a post-test and a follow-up was done one month later, and multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the data. The results obtained at a significance level of 0.05 showed that the treatment based on acceptance and commitment in the subjects of the experimental group compared to the average of the control group, increased happiness, mental health and quality of life in the experimental group, and the follow-up results showed that that the differences in the follow-up scores of happiness, mental health and quality of life are related to the continuation of treatment based on acceptance and commitment (group membership). Treatment based on acceptance and commitment has an impact on the mental health, happiness and quality of life of mothers with autistic children.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy training with emotion regulation on sensation seeking and self-injury in susceptible to addiction adolescents. The research method was experimental with pretest-posttest-follow-up design. A total of 45 adolescents residing in pseudo-family centers of the Welfare Office of Tehran were selected by purposeful sampling and were randomly assigned to two experimental and one control groups. Each of the experimental groups was trained for 8 sessions and the control group was placed on the waiting list. Data were collected using the Weed & Butcher addiction potential scale, Arnet Inventory of Sensation Seeking, and Klonsky and Glenn Self-Injury Questionnaire. Analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used to analyze the data. The results showed that emotion regulation training had a greater effect on reducing sensation seeking and self-harm than the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and this effect persisted during the follow-up period (p < 0.05). According to the findings, to reduce the psychological problems of adolescents susceptible to addiction, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and emotion regulation training should be used in educational workshops.

Substance dependence is a significant issue in society and among the most widespread health risk factors examined from the biopsychosocial perspective. Among the consequences of substance use can be the intermingling of thought–action, i.e., the desire and tendency of the individual to combine thoughts and actions. Accordingly, these individuals may become confused with their thoughts. These thoughts are intrusive, unintentional, unpleasant, uncontrollable, and meaningless; thus, they might harm themselves or others. The third–wave cognitive–behavioral therapies can effectively rehabilitate substance–dependent individuals with an emphasis on awareness and attention to psychological resilience. Among these interventions are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of ACT on the interplay of thought–action and self–harm in substance dependents.

This was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and a control group design. The study's statistical population consisted of all substance dependents referring to Substance abuse treatment centers in Sari City, Iran (N=1700). The study population was vast; it was impossible to compile a list of all community members. Therefore, sample selection was challenging from an administrative point of view. Therefore, simple random sampling and inclusion criteria were used to select the sample. Initially, centers with more experience, cooperation, and diversity in substance–dependent clients were identified (N=10). Then, 6 centers were selected by simple random sampling. The Thought–Action Fusion Questionnaire (TAFQ; Shafren et al., 1996) and The Self–Harm Inventory (SHI; Sanson et al., 1998) were distributed. Thirty individuals from these centers who met the inclusion criteria to enter the research and receive scores greater than 38 from the TAFQ and scores greater than 5 from the SHI were selected as a sample and divided into two experimental and control groups (n=15/group). The inclusion criteria of the study were at least a 5–year history of substance dependence; referring to drug abuse treatment centers in Sari; ages between 25 and 40 years; consent to participate in the research; ability to attend treatment sessions; no acute mental illness, and not attending other interventions, concurrently. Exclusion criteria included absence from more than one ACT session, not participating in the research, and not completing the questionnaire. ACT (Hayes & Strosahl, 2004) was administered to the experimental group in 8 sessions. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean & SD) and inferential statistics, including Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) in SPSS at a significant level of 0.05.

The obtained results suggested that after removing the pretest effect, ACT was effective on thought–action fusion and its components, including ethical thought–action fusion, probabilistic thought–action fusion for others, and probabilistic thought–action fusion for self (p<0.001). Moreover, ACT effectively declined self–harm behavior in the experiment group (p<0.001).

ACT effectively reduces thought–action fusion and self–harm behavior in substance dependents. Thus, it is suggested to improve the fusion of thought–action and self–harm behavior in this population.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of life skills training in workplace on job burnout & happiness for employees of company in Ahwaz. The design of the study was quasi-experimental (pre-test-post-test with-control group). The population of the study included all employees of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and the sample included 30 employees who were selected randomly and were assigned randomly in two experimental and control groups, which contained 15 employees in each group. The experimental group received the training while the control group was in waiting list. The instruments were the Oxford happiness questionnaires& Maslash burnout index (MBI). Data was analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) method. Result indicated significant difference between pretest and posttest experimental group, and effect of life skill training in workplace on the employees. On the other hand, results found no significant difference between pretest and posttest of the control group. Finding showed that life skills training in workplace was efficient on reducing burnout symptoms and increasing happiness in employees.
