The objective of this study was toexamine gender and the construction of feminine identity in contemporary love songs of Iran. The overall objective of this study was to examine the representation of femininity in Iranian songs, as songs are regarded as a significant artifact of media that has a significant cultural impact by attracting a large audience. In order to examine the paradigm of male-female roles that is embedded in the lyrics of the tracks, a qualitative approach was implemented, and the study is classified as a thematic analysis.A statistical society was established by selecting 50 songs from the tracks of more renowned singers as the statistical sample, from a vast array of tracks in the market that are all sung by male singers in accordance with governmental regulations within the five-year period of 2017 to 2022. Coding was employed to conduct thematic content analysis, which concentrated on the themes of linguistic descriptions of feminine roles. The coding processwas conducted by three programmers. The Krippendorff’s alpha coefficient was utilized to evaluate the reliability of coders, and the coding demonstrated sufficient reliability. The analysis of the sample of love songs in terms of feminine identity revealed that gender is constructed with three primary roles: 1. Passive and under control, 2. Sexual object and seductive, and 3. Unfaithful and negligent. The findings suggested that the feminine gender construction was devoid of any indication of conscious action, power, or autonomous choice on the part of the female gender. This suggests that femininity is depicted in accordance with the hegemony of a patriotic discourse.

This research was conducted to model marital agreement based on the initial Maladaptive schemas with the mediation of marriage styles in women. The descriptive-correlational research method was structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study was made up of married women in the first quarter of 2022, in districts 2, 7, and 11 of Tehran, from which 300 people were selected as the sample of the study using targeted sampling. In this research, marital agreement instruments )RDAS( (Busby et al., 1995), Yang's schema (YSQ-SF) (Young, 1994), and researcher-made questionnaires of marriage styles were used. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used. The findings of the research showed that the model is a good fit. The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between the domains of primary maladaptive schemas and marital agreement (P<0.01). Also, marriage styles can mediate the relationship between initially incompatible schemas and marital agreement (P<0.01). According to these findings, it can be concluded that since marriage is considered one of the most important decisions in life, it is possible to focus on the initial Maladaptive schemas and pre-marriage education on marital agreement and improve marriage styles. And the continuation of the relationship between the couple increased the quality of the couple's relationship.

The present research aimed to compare the effectiveness of counseling based on Glasser's Choice Theory and Frankl's logotherapy on the life satisfaction of women facing divorce. The present research method was the type of quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of this research included women facing divorce who were referred to the family court, dispute resolution council, and family counseling centers in Tabriz in 2022. The purposive sampling method selected 60 qualified volunteers of this population and randomly assigned them into two experimental and a control group (20 people in each group). A research questionnaire was the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) (Diener et al, 1985). The analysis method of this research was the analysis of covariance and Bonferroni's test. The findings showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there was a significant difference at level 0/05, between the average score of life satisfaction in two experimental and control groups; but no significant difference was demonstrated between the two interventions in this variable. Therefore, reality therapy and logotherapy have been effective in increasing the life satisfaction of women facing divorce, and counselors and therapists may use this treatment to improve the aforementioned variable in women facing divorce.

The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of group schema therapy on emotional commitment and sexual self-efficacy in women with emotional divorce. The method of this research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and with a control group and a 3-month follow-up period. The statistical population included women with emotional divorce who were referred to the psychological clinic of Rasht City in 2023, among whom 30 qualified volunteers were selected by purposive sampling and randomly placed in two groups of 15 people. Both groups completed emotional commitment questionnaires (ECQ) by Epstein & et al (1983) and sexual self-efficacy (SSEQ) by Vaziri & Lotfi Kashani (2013). The experimental group underwent the group schema therapy program for 10 sessions (60 minutes each session). The data were analyzed using the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni's post hoc test. The results showed that group schema therapy intervention significantly increased emotional commitment and sexual self-efficacy in the experimental group (P<0.001) and this result was sustained until the follow-up stage. Therefore, using schema therapy content and instructions will be effective in increasing the emotional commitment and sexual self-efficacy of women with emotional divorce.

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment on pain self-efficacy and clinical symptoms in women with migraine. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up. The statistical population of the study included all women with migraine who were referred to the headache clinic of Shahrekord Hospital in 2022, from which 30 people were selected using the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people were placed in the control group). Measurement tools included Nicholas's Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ, 1990) and Derogatis & Melisaratos's Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI, 1983). The experimental group was subjected to an intervention based on Barlow et al's met diagnostic therapy (2011) during eight 90-minute sessions and once a week. Analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used to analyze the data. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the groups in the post-test and follow-up of pain self-efficacy and clinical symptoms (P<0.05), and the extra diagnostic treatment had a lasting effect in the follow-up period (P<0.05). As a result, transdiagnostic treatment can be used as an effective treatment to increase pain self-efficacy and reduce the clinical symptoms of women with migraine.
