The attitudes and expectations surrounding marriage and procreation play a crucial role in determining the success or failure of marital relationships. This study aims to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and expectations regarding marriage among unmarried naval personnel in one of Iran’s military districts, as well as the relationship between demographic variables and these factors.

This descriptive-analytical study employed a convenience sampling method involving 100 unmarried naval personnel from one of Iran’s military districts. Data were collected using a questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitudes, and expectations related to marriage. The questionnaire consisted of 31 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale and demonstrated confirmed validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 software, employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, Pearson correlation, and eta correlation tests.

The mean age of participants was 27.5 ± 2.07 years, with a gender distribution of 74% male and 26% female. According to the participants, the average suitable age for marriage was 26.12 ± 3.15 years, while the mean suitable age for procreation was 28.86 ± 3.82 years. The mean knowledge score of participants was 37.65 ± 4.7, and the mean attitude score was 18.25 ± 2.9, indicating a moderate level of attitude toward marriage. Additionally, the mean score for negative marriage expectations was 31.58 ± 3.8, which also fell within the moderate range. Notably, men's knowledge scores were significantly higher than those of women (P < 0.01), and men also had significantly higher expectation scores compared to women (P = 0.04).

The findings of this study indicate that participants exhibit a strong interest in family formation and marriage requirements, along with a positive attitude toward marriage. However, various obstacles have led to delays in marriage among these young individuals. Therefore, further research is warranted to identify the facilitators and barriers to marriage within this group, enabling collaborative efforts between authorities and families to promote the values of family and facilitate the institution of marriage.

Mate selection is one of the most significant decisions that individuals make in their lifetime. This study aimed to predict mate selection criteria based on loneliness and marital attitudes among students in Shiraz. This research employed a descriptive design. The statistical population comprised all students of the Islamic Azad University of Shiraz branch in 2022. A sample of 377 individuals (235 women and 142 men) was selected using a step-by-step cluster sampling method. The short form of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S), the Marital Attitude Scale (MAS), and the Mate Selection Criteria Inventory (MSCI) were used for evaluation. The findings were analyzed using the multiple regression method simultaneously, which showed that a realistic attitude towards marriage and socio-emotional loneliness were significant predictors of mate selection criteria. Furthermore, the step-by-step multiple regression analysis revealed that a realistic attitude toward marriage had greater predictive power. A realistic attitude towards marriage leads to the selection of wise criteria and a more logical perspective in mate selection. Individuals with a more realistic attitude towards marriage examine this issue from different aspects and strive to have more logical and balanced criteria for marriage.

The shift in traditional family roles has led to a complex understanding of power within the family, and couple interactions have undergone significant changes. Given the lack of knowledge in this field and its culturally oriented nature, this research was conducted to elucidate the concept of power perception in Iranian couples’ marital relationships and present a theoretical model. This qualitative study used data-based analysis among Iranian couples in 2022. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews (in pairs and individually) with 11 couples until data saturation was reached. Data analysis was performed using MAXQDA 20 software. This research identified 18 secondary themes, 10 main themes, and one central category consistent across both study groups. The constitutive and effective concepts on the perception of power in couples included personal sufficiency, causal attitudes, dos and don’ts, personality and demographic characteristics, growth and unconscious conflicts, and subsequent strategies of perceived power. Ultimately, improving the quality of life and confusion in marital relations were two categories obtained within the framework of the consequences of power perception. Additionally, the central category of situational power-attachment fusion was identified. The results of this research demonstrated the significant impact of power perception on couples’ quality of life. Given that this issue encompasses culture and society, educational measures in power perception in marital relationships are paramount and warrant further attention.

Due to the lack and the continuation of low fertility in past decades, it is necessary to review the population policies of the country. In formulating or revising demographic policies, taking effective and timely measures to facilitate the process of marriage and family formation and encouraging young couples to have children is an important and unavoidable necessity in the current conditions of society. The purpose of the current research is to discover and analyze this issue in Yazd province, based on the opinion of elites and policy makers related to the issue.

This study was conducted using qualitative and grounded theory methods in 2014 in the city of Yazd. The participants in the research were 18 health officials and academic elites from the province. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview tool. Data analysis was conducted using both theoretical and free coding methods as well as central and selective coding techniques.

The results showed that while the decision to have children is influenced by social and cultural contexts, it is primarily influenced by social policies.  57 sub-categories and 20 main sub-categories were extracted The themes of the research included rethinking marriage, postponing childbearing, the dangerous world of childlessness, dynamic policy making, family and child support policies. Also, the core category, the vacuum of dynamic, and efficient policy were calculated

The results of the research show that the issue of having children is related to other needs and necessities of the family, such as taking care of children and the economic needs of the family. For this reason, policymakers should support programs that help families in this field and bring some kind of psychological comfort to the family.

The present study aimed to investigate the attitude towards marriage based on schema mentalities with emphasis on the mediating role of interpersonal emotional regulation in students.

TThis cross-sectional study was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population of the study consisted of all undergraduate students of Islamic Azad University, Najafabad Branch, Najafabad, Iran, in 2019, which included 13254 people. Based on the theory of Muller, 320 people were selected from the community using convenience sampling and completed the Schematic Mindset Questionnaire (SMQ), Braaten and Rosen Marriage Attitude Scale (MAS), and the Interpersonal Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ). Data were analyzed using SEM and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method in AMOS software.

TSchema mentalities including childish mentality, dysfunctional coping mentality, dysfunctional parenting mentality, and healthy adult mentality had a direct effect on attitudes towards marriage (P < 0.05). The results of this study also showed that interpersonal emotional regulation played a mediating role in the relationship between childish mentality, dysfunctional coping mentality, and dysfunctional parenting mentality with attitude towards marriage (P < 0.05). However, it did not mediate the relationship between healthy adult mentality and attitude towards marriage.

Based on the results obtained, to improve the attitude towards marriage, protocols based on changing schema mentalities and interpersonal emotional regulation can be used.

Nowadays, cognitive-behavioral approaches, including problem-solving methods, are used to enhance the quality of life of family members and achieve differentiation, especially among couples. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of family-centered problem-solving training on couple differentiation.

This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest and a control group. The statistical population comprised married individuals who were referred to the counseling center at the Islamic Azad University, Kermanshah branch. Initially, 30 couples who visited the center to resolve their marital issues were selected and randomly divided into experimental (15 couples) and control (15 couples) groups. Subsequently, the experimental group underwent family-oriented problem-solving training in ten face-to-face sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. Data were collected using the Skowron & Friedlander Self-Differentiation Scale (1998) and analyzed statistically in SPSS version 22 using covariance analysis after the post-test.

Family-oriented problem-solving training significantly increased the differentiation of couples in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.05).

According to the research findings, utilizing the family-oriented problem-solving training program as part of comprehensive educational plans to enhance couple differentiation is feasible.

The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting the criteria for choosing a spouse based on irrational beliefs and differentiation of single girls aged 25-35.

The method of the present research was practical and descriptive in terms of the nature of the correlation type data. The statistical population of the present study included single girls in Karaj city, who were selected from among the people according to the entry and exit criteria. Sample size was calculated 134 people using available sampling and based on the sample size formula M>20 + 5M Tabacheng and Fidel (2007). The participants completed the scales of prioritization of mate selection criteria (Refahi et al., 2017), Idelson and Epstein communication beliefs (RBI), and self-differentiation questionnaire (DSI-SH). Pearson's correlation test and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that there is a negative relationship between irrational beliefs and mate selection criteria (content) and a positive relationship between differentiation and mate selection criteria. Among the analysed variables, differentiation predicts mate selection criteria.

The National Youth Organization, psychologists and counselors in the field of marriage and family can help clients to make a more accurate and less risky choice and avoid inefficient and irrational choices.

One of the most important aspects of human existence is spirituality. Premarital relationships are an issue in today's world. There is very limited and varied evidence and information on the effects of spiritual health and religious orientation on positive attitudes toward premarital relationships among medical interns and stagers at Babol University of Medical Sciences. The aim of this study was to investigate spiritual health and religious orientation on these relationships.

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 180 medical interns and stagers which was done in the form of a project based on correlation. Questionnaires of demographic characteristics, spiritual health and religious orientation and positive attitude towards premarital relationships were given to them to complete.

When mental health was examined, there was a significant negative correlation with a positive attitude toward premarital relationships. There was a negative and significant correlation between external religious orientation and positive attitude toward premarital relations. The regression showed that positive attitudes toward premarital relationships decreased by 0.99 as the students' level of spiritual health increased (P< 0.001).

The results indicate that increasing the level of spiritual health and religious orientation improves positive attitude toward premarital relationships.

Among the ways to improve the culture and values of Islamic society in Iran is identifying and introducing important components of spouse selection. Understanding these components can lead to the selection of a suitable spouse and prevent common mistakes in this area. Therefore, the present study aims to examine educational components of spouse selection in Iranian society.

This qualitative study had an exploratory-descriptive nature and used the grounded theory and systematic Strauss and Corbin methods simultaneously to collect, execute, and analyze data. The research population included all family counselors, faculty members, and managers of counseling centers involved in marriage education and counseling in Yazd in 2022. Therefore, 32 participants were selected using purposive sampling as the research sample. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews which were recorded.

The results of open coding showed that out of 254 extracted propositions, 27 concepts were obtained in the form of 11 categories. Through axial coding, 5 main components (awareness of the philosophy of marriage, smart selection, literacy about marriage, rational-emotional strategies, and valuable style of marriage) were identified by integrating and connecting the categories. Selective coding also presented its final theory by designing a paradigmatic framework in a diagrammatic form.

Identifying dimensions and components of spouse selection can facilitate the assessment and evaluation of young individuals on the brink of marriage by pre-marital counselors and couple therapists. This will help the young people make vital and important decisions in choosing a life partner.

Background and Objectives :

Marriage is one of the effective factors that can promote mental health and lifestyle and reduce the risk of individual and social disorders. This study aims to prioritize the criteria for partner selection according to the perceptions of female students of Qom University of Medical Sciences (QUMS) in 2017.

This is descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in 2017. The study population consists of all single female students of QUMS, of whom 373 were selected by multi-stage sampling method. The instrument was the 22-item Preference Criteria of Spouse Selection Inventory (PCSSI) with acceptable validity and reliability. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 20 statistical software using descriptive statistics and Friedman’s test, Chi-square test, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance.

The age range of the participants was 18-38 years, and their semester range was 1-15. The results of Friedman test showed a significant difference between the mean ranks of partner selection criteria. Mental health had the highest priority, while being from the same ethnicity had the lowest priority. There was a significant negative correlation between age and importance of partner selection criteria (P<0.001). In addition, there was a significant difference between students with associate degree and the students with bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and PhD degree in terms of the importance of partner selection criteria (P<0.001).

Female students of QUMS pay more attention to mental health, responsibility, and chastity criteria in choosing a partner.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the components of marriage counseling based on the methods and marriage counseling based on the theory of intergenerational integration of Bowen's theory and the constructivist theory of Savikas career counseling theory (constructivist premarital counseling).

The environment of this research was all the texts in the field of the mentioned theory. The method of selecting the texts was among the texts of Bowen's intergenerational family therapy theory and Savika’s career counseling theory in the range of years (2013-2022). The criterion of the number of texts was based on the principle of data saturation. The method of collecting information was line by line study of texts, based on questions related to relevant components for premarital counseling in these two theories. The data obtained from the review of the texts were analyzed using the traditional content analysis method of Heish and Shannon (2005).

The results of the content analysis showed that in the constructivist theory of Savikas, the concept of life designning and the concepts derived from it are suitable for matching with premarital counseling, and in the intergenerational theory, the seven concepts of self-differentiation, family projection, nuclear family emotional system, emotional breakdown, intergenerational transfer process and social regression are suitable for marriage counseling. Then, these concepts were combined according to Yousefi's and Golparvar’s method (2023) for theoretical integration, and finally the premarital counseling model was designed based on the integrated model.

  In general, according to the process of extracting this model, it can be said that this model is qualitatively valid and can be evaluated at the level of designing an educational package and testing the variabels related to marriage.

In the qualitative phase, according to the purpose of accessing the experience of experts in the subject of study, counselors, and psychologists in the field of family and marriage in Yazd City that wanted to participate were used. Purposive sampling was used to select the sample group. The sample size in qualitative studies continues until the researcher is fully saturated with the information, i.e., until a new code of interviews is not extracted and the information obtained is duplicated, so in this study, the sample was continued until complete data saturation by 16 interviews. After conducting semi–structured interviews with the first group, interviews were analyzed to examine the participants' experience of the subject. In the next stage, using Colaizzi's method (1978), the main subthemes and themes were extracted. In the quantitative phase, a panel of ten professors and senior undergraduate psychology and counseling students at the Islamic Azad University of Yazd were used by random sampling method to determine the validity of the categories obtained. To evaluate the content validity, two qualitative and quantitative methods were used to the viewpoint of experts on the level of coordination with the themes. The research data was validated according to four criteria of reliability provided by Guba & Lincoln (1989). To measure the validity of the data, a panel group was used to assess the validity by the content validity method. In the next step, by referring to the Lawsche table, validation was done for ten participants with a coefficient of 0.6 as the critical point and necessity of the class.

After analyzing interviews and understanding participants' experience with the Colaizzi method, 397 codes, 52 secondary themes and seven main themes were concluded. The seven main themes included personality traits, history of family growth, expression of love and emotions, spirituality and religious expectations, management of finance, conflict and resolve, and family customs identified as the main components and criteria of youth in choosing a spouse. The main categories of "personality traits", "management of financial and economic affairs", and "family and customs", with the frequency of 10, 10 and 9, respectively, from the perspective of experts in the interview, were more important. All seven main categories achieved an acceptable content validity score.
