Public interests and concerns often create dilemmas for school principals. As such moral dilemmas are the case for schools as places marked by social, economic, cultural, and political diversity. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between management styles and moral literacy with organizational hypocrisy to understand these multiple variations.

The purpose of this study was to predict psychological hypocrisy in the organization based on moral literacy and leadership styles.

The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consists of all school principals in Salmas City in the academic year 2022. The research sample consisted of 35 principals of different educational levels in Salmas City who were selected by census method due to the limited population size. To collect the research data, the Leadership Styles Questionnaire (Salzman Anderkulek, 1982), the Organizational Hypocrisy Scale (Kılıçoğlu, & Yılmaz Kılıçoğlu, 2019), and the Moral Literacy Questionnaire (Stefkovich, & Begley, 2017) were used. To analyze the research data, SPSS.26 software was used using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression using simultaneous method.

The Pearson correlation coefficient results showed a negative and significant relationship between leadership styles moral literacy and organizational hypocrisy (P<0.05). This study was thought to contribute to the educational administration, organizational behavior, and leadership literature by emphasizing which variables are negatively related to organizational hypocrisy and what kind of behaviors it can engender in schools. The results of multivariate regression showed that free-thinking leadership styles (13%), moral sensitivity (3%), and ethical reasoning (7%) explain the variance of organizational hypocrisy in managers, respectively.

The study contributes to educational administration, organizational behavior, and leadership literature by emphasizing which variables are associated with organizational hypocrisy and what kind of behaviors it can generate in schools.

Studies have shown that gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most common disorders of the gastrointestinal system, which can have a negative effect on the mental health of patients. The effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment has been investigated for many psychological disorders in various strata, but in internal studies, the effectiveness of this approach in patients with gastroesophageal reflux has not been investigated.

Academic adaptation is one of the most influential factors in academic performance and the determination of the impact of multiple interventions on students’ academic adjustment has been the subject of various studies with different results reported; in some instances, improvement in academic adjustment is reported with instruction based on schema and in others with Myers-Briggs personality typology instruction; however, no study has addressed a comparative exploration of these two approaches and their result on academic adjustment.

The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of Myers-Briggs type indicator personality training and schema-based instruction on the academic adaptation of students.

The present research method was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test with a control group, along with a two-month follow-up. The statistical population included all students of the Imam Javad University in Yazd in 2023, out of which 60 were selected using a convenience sampling method. Out of these, 20 were placed in a control group and 20 in each experimental group. The Academic Adjustment Questionnaire (Baker & Siriyak, 1984) was used for data collection. For the experimental groups’ intervention, the educational packages of Katharine Myers and Linda Kirby’s personality typology translated by Arsam Hordad (2021) and the schema-based teaching package (Young et al., 1950) were used. However, no intervention was received by the members of the control group.

The findings indicate that both schema-based training and Myers/Briggs personality typology training lead to an increase in academic adaptation among students (p< 0.05). Furthermore, the results demonstrate a significant difference in the effectiveness of schema-based training and Myers/Briggs personality typology training on academic adaptation. The schema-based training was found to be more effective in enhancing academic adaptation compared to Myers/Briggs personality typology training. This suggests that the approach based on schema may have a greater impact on improving students' adaptability within the educational context. These findings contribute to the understanding of the comparative effectiveness of different training methodologies in fostering academic adaptation among students.

The most important application based on the findings obtained from this study is the development and optimization of education and training programs based on Myers/Briggs personality to improve the academic adjustment of students. Also, the findings of this research can be a guide for educational managers on how to design appropriate and effective strategies to improve the academic adaptation of their students and learners.

Also, emotional safety enriched with self-compassion was significantly more effective compared to emotional safety training (p< 0.05), These results were maintained during the follow-up period

With emotional safety training enriched with self-compassion in addition to emotional regulation in housewives, secure attachment is strengthened, self-esteem and social-emotional competence are enhanced, leading to self-compassion. which could be a reason for the differential effectiveness of this training.

Schemas have an impact on the communication beliefs and conflict resolution patterns of couples and are formed from the contrast of mood and socio-cultural and educational stimuli. As a result, to understand them, it is necessary to pay attention to the cultural context and people's lived experience.

The purpose of this research is to identify dysfunctional and schema-oriented interactional patterns of couples based on the context of Iranian society and to present a conceptual model that was conducted using a qualitative method based on grounded theory.

The research population was couple therapists with a schema-oriented approach in Tehran, who were selected through targeted sampling of the accessible type. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 8 pairs of therapists and were analyzed in three stages of open, central and selective coding. To evaluate the validity of the findings of the interviews, the participants' reflection method and the review of non-participant experts were used.

The results of the research indicated two main categories and 14 main categories, which in the form of a paradigm model include2 main categories (insecurity and undifferentiatedness), causal conditions (family system, parents' parenting style, role models from parents, ineffective traditions and teachings, recommendation to mistrust, experiencing rejection and humiliation), contextual conditions (culture), mediating conditions (intra-individual factors, environmental factors), strategies (avoidance, submission, extreme compensation) and consequences (ineffective interactions) were organized.

The results of this research showed that it is necessary to pay attention to the cultural context and people's lived experience in order to better understand and resolve marital relationship conflicts. Identifying and understanding these ineffective and schema-oriented interactive patterns can help in designing more effective treatment and counseling programs for couples in Iranian society.
