Divorce has psychological effects on individuals and families and is a complex phenomenon with various factors. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy in managing emotions and anxiety sensitivity among women considering divorce in Lahijan.

This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test setup, involving both experimental and control groups. The study aimed to investigate women on the brink of divorce in Lahijan. Thirty women were randomly selected from this population and assigned to two groups of fifteen. The experimental group underwent ten ninety-minute sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy, while the control group did not receive any training. Both groups completed the Emotion Control and Anxiety Sensitivity Questionnaire before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance.

Based on the research findings, it has been observed that there is a notable distinction between the training and control groups in terms of negative emotions and anxiety sensitivity. In simpler terms, the training centered around acceptance and commitment has diminished the management of emotions and anxiety sensitivity in women on the brink of divorce.

According to the results, the treatment based on acceptance and commitment to control the emotions and anxiety sensitivity of women on the verge of divorce is effective. This treatment can be used to help women in controlling their emotions and anxiety sensitivity during this challenging time.

Background &

From the distant past, the concept of marital commitment has attracted the attention of many people from the fields of family and marriage studies and has been considered a decision for life's survival and durability. Marital commitment is one of the important variables in understanding marriage and has a special and unavoidable relationship with marital satisfaction. Marital commitment means how much couples value their marital relationship and how motivated they are to maintain and continue it. In other words, commitment in married life is the concept of emotional feeling and motivation based on which couples focus on maintaining and remaining in their relationship. The idea of marital commitment is understood as a basic pillar in marriage and the first emotional and legal commitment that is concluded in adulthood, and it is considered the starting point in the growth and psychological maturity of people in society. The first ones who studied the importance of commitment in marital relationships were Dean and Spanier (1974), who defined marital commitment as the stable desire of couples to maintain and continue marriage. According to them, commitment is a smart and conscious choice, which increasingly regulates the marital relationship. A person commits to different things in life, but the issue becomes critical when the commitment is raised in marriage. Regarding the integrated training of time perspective and mindfulness, it has not been widely used so far and the effects of this training on marital variables require more research; therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment and emotion control in mothers with low marital satisfaction.

This research was quasi-experimental and implemented in the form of a pre-test-post-test-follow-up plan with a control group. The statistical population consisted of mothers with low marital satisfaction in the 5th district of Tehran in 1401. 30 people were selected by the available sampling method by observing the entry and exit criteria and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Before the start of the intervention, both groups participated in the pre-test phase, and after that, the experimental group underwent integrated time perspective and mindfulness training in 12 60-minute sessions. The control group also did not receive any intervention. Then both experimental groups participated in the post-test stage and after 3 months the follow-up stage was done. To measure marital commitment, the standard questionnaire of marital commitment by Adams and Jones (1997) was used, and Williams' emotion control scale (1997) was used for emotion control. The data was analyzed by mixed analysis of variance.

The mean scores of marital commitment and emotion control variables in the integrated training group of time perspective and mindfulness increased compared to the control group in the post-test and follow-up stages compared to the pre-test stage. To investigate the effectiveness of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment and emotional control in mothers with low marital satisfaction, a variance test with intergroup repeated measurement was used. Before performing the analysis of variance test with inter-group repeated measurement, the presumption of normality of the data was performed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. This assumption implies that the observed difference between the distribution of scores of the sample group and the normal distribution in the population is equal to zero. The results of this test showed that all the variables follow the normal distribution in pre-test-post-test and follow-up. The results showed that the effect of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment (F=0.001, P<0.001) and emotion control (F=50.65, P<0.001) is significant.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment and emotional control of mothers with low marital satisfaction. To achieve this goal in the form of a quasi-experimental design, two groups of 15 women with low marital satisfaction were selected using available methods and were assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 12 one-hour sessions of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training, and after the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up analyses, the results of the analyses showed that a group of mothers with low marital satisfaction who participated in the training sessions had a significant improvement in They showed marital commitment and emotional control. This finding is consistent with the results of previous research. Mindfulness training for women with marital boredom can increase their marital commitment along with intimacy and marital happiness. In explaining the effect of the combined training of time perspective and mindfulness on marital commitment, it can be said: that this training method is focused on cognitive abilities, attention, alertness, perception, and capacity of people to pay attention to the present time. Therefore, this method can create changes in the processes thought patterns, and attitudes of a person. In other words, instead of changing the content of the mind, the goal of mindfulness training is to develop non-prejudiced attitudes and the connection between thoughts and emotions when they occur. In this way, living in the present and ignoring judgmental and ineffective thoughts in women with low marital satisfaction can lead to more marital commitment. In addition, this training can lead to more self-compassion in mothers, and the increase in self-compassion makes them blame themselves less when they fail and with the increase in marital satisfaction, the level of their marital commitment also increases. The combined training of time perspective and mindfulness can strengthen cognitive coping processes such as positive reappraisal and strengthen emotion regulation skills such as distress tolerance, problem-solving training, and ignoring techniques training, at the time of the onset of marital problems from the individual against mood dysfunction caused by Protect from stress and rumination. From these results, it can be concluded that marital commitment and emotional control of mothers with low marital satisfaction can be increased with integrated training methods of time perspective and mindfulness.

Teaching life skills to children and adolescents is one of the key responsibilities of the education systems and families. Synectics teaching method is a new training approach to enhance creativity in individuals. These exercises are designed to enable the person to use creativity to understand metaphors and analogies for creating new (“groundbreaking”) alternatives. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of life skills training using the Synectics method on social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control in junior high school male students.

The statistical population in this quasi-experimental study included all the first-year high school male students (n=5,000) in Hamadan, Iran, of whom 50 students (2 groups of 25 students) were selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control questionnaires were used to collect data. The multivariate analysis of covariance and Scheffé’s post hoc test were used to analyze the collected data.

Based on the obtained results from Scheffé's test, the mean post-test scores in the group who were trained in social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control for anger control, positive emotion control, depressed mood control, and adolescent anxiety control, using the Synectics method, were higher than the control group by 10.08, 28.16, 12.32,1.8, 11.64 and 96.13 scores, respectively.

Teaching life skills through Synectics method is considered an effective method in improving social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control of adolescents, and it is suggested to use this method in designing educational interventions.

Rapid emotional, physical, and social changes of adolescence are critical factors in building and establishing one’s personality. Most adolescents are challenged by family, community, and relatives. These pressures may push adolescents toward risky behaviors in the decision–making phase. One of the most critical issues in this period is self–harming behaviors. These behaviors are often associated with emotional problems. Another variable with its potential role as a mediating variable on deliberate self–harming behaviors was affective control, meaning a proper skill on how and where to recognize and express emotions properly. The present study aimed to establish a relationship model of self–harming behaviors and family functioning, considering the mediating role of affective control in 15–18 years old girls living in Fooman City, Iran.

The current research employed an analytical–correlational design using the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population included all female senior students (n=1340 according to the Education Department of Fooman) studying in the secondary high school of Fooman in the academic year 2018–2019. The inclusion criteria were as follows: being 15 to 18 years old, willing to participate in research, and having non–divorced parents. The estimated number of samples for the present study was 303. Considering the possible dropout, 393 subjects were selected by multi–stage clusters. The study data were collected via the Self–Harm Inventory (Sansone et al., 1998), Affective Control Scale (Williams et al., 1997), and Family Assessment Device (Epstein et al., 1983). Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (structural equation modeling) were performed in SPSS version 24 and AMOS version 24 software. The significance level of the tests was considered 0.01.

In the path from family functioning to affective control, the total standard effect coefficient (p=0.001, β=0.751) and the direct standard effect coefficient (p=0.001, β=0.751), in the path from family functioning to self–harming behaviors, the total standard effect coefficient (p=0.002, β=0.522), direct standard effect coefficient (p=0.001, β=0.734), and indirect effect coefficient (p=0.010, β=–0.212) and in the path of affective control to self–harming behaviors, the total standard effect coefficient (p=0.013, β=–0.283) and the direct standard effect coefficient (p=0.015, β=0.283) were estimated. In addition, according to the indicators of the proposed research model, the collected data had an acceptable fit (CFI=0.975, GFI=0.971, AGFI=0.957, TLI=0.968, IFI=0.975, NFI=0.908, RMSEA=0.029).

According to the study results, affective control mediates the relationship between family functioning and self–harming behaviors in adolescent girls.

Adolescent behavioral problems come at a high cost to individuals and communities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Anger Management Training Using Stress Inoculation program on affective control in delinquent adolescents.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, quasi-experimental method with pre-test - post-test and follow-up was performed. Among the statistical population of all adolescent boys of Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Tehran city, 40 subjects were selected using convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Before the intervention, participants completed Affective control Scale. Then, the experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 to 120 minutes of training in the "Stress Inoculation Training Program" and the control group did not receive training. After completing the training sessions, as well as two months later, both groups completed the ACS questionnaires again.

According to Findings of mixed variance analysis, the affective control scores and its subscales [anger, depression, anxiety and positive affect] in the experimental group showed a significant decrease compared to the control group and during the study stages.

According to the findings of the study, the educational method used in this study could be used to increase affective control in delinquent adolescents and to prevent the occurrence of aggressive behaviors in them.

Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, and one of the most destructive behaviors in adolescence is high –risk behaviors. One of the destructive behaviors in adolescence is high –risk behaviors. People can perform these behaviors at any time, but they can bring very harmful results for people, their families, and society. One of the fundamental problems that plague teenagers during adolescence is risky behavior caused by emotional problems. Many factors play a role in the appearance of high –risk behaviors. One of these factors is how emotions appear when stress occurs under challenging conditions. Among the treatments that can control adolescents' emotions with high –risk behaviors is social –cognitive problem –solving skills. Teaching social –problem solving skills is a cognitive and emotional –behavioral process through which people try to create an answer to the problems they face and according to the situation. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive –social problem –solving skills training in controlling the emotions (affections) of adolescent girls with high –risk behaviors living in Babolsar City, Iran.

This study was quasi –experimental with a pretest –posttest design with a control group. The statistical population comprised all high school girl adolescents studying in Babolsar City in the 2018 –2019 academic year. Sampling was done in two stages: In this phase, 400 students were randomly selected by multistage cluster random sampling from all female students in the city; in the second stage, 85 students with the highest score on the Iranian Adolescents Risk–Taking Scale (Zadeh Mohammadi & Ahmad Abadi, 2008) were selected. Of whom 36 volunteered students participated in the study. Next, they were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group (18 people in each group). The inclusion criteria were having problems with high –risk behaviors based on the screening questionnaire, willingness to participate in the study, and not suffering from other disorders or drug use. The exclusion criteria were absence in more than one intervention session, simultaneous participation in other intervention programs, and unwillingness to continue the study. The two groups received a pretest, and the control group did not receive any treatment. The experimental group received cognitive –social problem –solving skills training for ten 1.5 –hour sessions. Data in the pretest and posttest were gathered via the Affective Control Scale (Williams et al., 1997). To analyze the collected data, descriptive statistics indicators (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) were used. With the purpose of inferential analysis of research data, multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) was performed. Data analysis was done in SPSS version 23. A significance level of 0.05 was considered for all tests.

The results showed that after adjusting for the pretest scores, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the components of anger (p<0.001), depressed mood (p<0.001), and anxiety (p<0.001). Also, the eta squared statistics showed that the educational intervention changed 45%, 50%, and 57% of anger, depressed mood, and anxiety scores, respectively.

According to the research findings, training in social –cognitive problem –solving skills is effective in controlling the emotions of adolescent girls with high –risk behaviors.

Today, cancer as the most important cause of human mortality has received much attention in the world so that it has a large number of psychological studies. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy on accepting pain and controlling the emotions of cancer patients.

This study was a randomized clinical trial with a pretest-posttest and follow-up. The statistical population of this study consisted of men with cancer in Kohgiluyeh city in 2018-2019. The statistical sample consisted of 26 cancer patients who were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups of positive psychotherapy (13 patients) and the control group (13 patients). The McCracken & Walls scale was used to collect data to measure pain acceptance and the Williams & Chambers scale was used to measure emotion control. The experimental group received positive positivity during eight 90-minute sessions of psychotherapy, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA and ANCOVA analysis in SPSS-25 software.

The results showed that positive psychotherapy was effective on pain tendency, active participation, and the overall score of acceptance of pain, anger, depressed mood, anxiety, positive emotion, and the overall score of emotion control in the post-test phase (P <0.05), but persistence had no effect (p>0.05).

 Positive psychotherapy is effective in accepting pain and controlling the emotions of cancer patients and psychologists can use the results of the present study for therapeutic interventions based on positive psychotherapy to increase pain acceptance and control the emotions of cancer patients.

Improving emotion control and sexual function are effective factors in reducing marital conflict. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of "Dialectical Behavior Therapy" on controlling emotions and sexual function in women with marital conflict. 

This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The study population of women with marital conflict referred to mental health centers in Rasht in 2020. For the study, 36 people were selected and randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. Finally, the intervention group was reduced to 15 people who were randomly removed to analyze 3 members of the control group to homogenize the groups. In this study, demographic questionnaire, "Affective Control Scale (ACS)" and "Female Sexual Function Index" (FSFI) were used to collect data. Validity was sufficient for previous studies and the reliability of the instruments was confirmed by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient. At the beginning of the intervention, research instruments were completed by the groups. The intervention group underwent "polemical behavior therapy" for 10 sessions of 90 minutes (2 sessions per week) and the control group was on the waiting list for training. Then both groups completed the instruments again after the intervention. Data analysis was performed in SPSS.19. 

There is a significant difference between the groups in both variables of emotion control (F = 546.366, P = 0.001) and sexual function (F = 84.375, P = 0.001) and according to the effect size values. 95% of changes in emotion control and 75% of changes in sexual function are due to "polarized behavior therapy" intervention (P <0.001). 

"Dialectical Behavior Therapy" has reduced affective control and increased sexual function in women in marital conflict. Therefore, planning for the use of "Dialectical Behavior Therapy" by psychologists and family counselors to improve the psychological and sexual functioning of women involved in marital conflict is suggested.

Experience of pain and emotion control in people with cancer would have various psychological and social impacts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of commitment and acceptance on acceptance of pain and control of emotions in patients with cancer.

The present study was applied in terms of purpose, quasi-experimental and in terms of pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study was men with cancer in Kohgiluyeh Countyin 2018. The statistical sample consisted of 26 men with cancer who were selected by purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to two experimental (13 subjects) and a control group (13 subjects). Data were collected using the McKracken & Woles (2004) pain acceptance questionnaires and Williams & Chambers (1997) emotion control questionnaires. The experimental group received acceptance and commitment based treatment during 8 sessions within 90 minutes, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS software.

The results showed that acceptance and commitment-based therapy were effective on pain tendency, active participation, and overall acceptance of pain, anger, depressed mood, anxiety, positive affect, and overall emotional control score at the post-test stage, but the effect did not stand permanently. (p<.05)

Psychologists may use the results of this study for therapeutic interventions based on acceptance therapy and the commitment to increase pain acceptance and control emotions in cancer patients. .

Depression is the greatest psychological disorder of the present century, which is known as the common cold of psychiatry. And it is the most important risk factor for the suicide attempts. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of holographic reprocessing and dialectical behavioral therapy on affective control and social adjustment of depressed suicidal patients.

The present research is a pre-test and post-test type with control group. The statistical population of this study included all depressed patients who attempted suicide in Ilam in 2018. By simple random sampling, 45 subjects were selected as sample members and they were randomly assigned to three groups: holographic Reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy group, and control group. Research instruments included affective control scale (Williams & Chambles), compatibility questionnaire (Bell), holographic reprocessing package (Katz), and dialectical behavioral therapy package (Lynn).

The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that there was a statistically significant difference between affective control and social adjustment in experimental groups (holographic reprocessing group and dialectical behavioral therapy group) and control group (F=132.141, p<0.000). Also, the results of the Bonferroni test showed that the holographic reprocessing group, in comparison with the dialectic behavioral therapy group, increased the level of social adjustment of depressed patients who attempted suicide (p <0.001). However, there was no significant difference in affective control between the two experimental groups (p> 0.534).

According to the results of this study, both holographic reprocessing and dialectical treatment therapy have increased the affective control and social adjustment in depressed patients with attempted suicide. Also, holographic reprocessing has further increased the level of social compatibility. Ultimately, both treatments can be used effectively to treat depression and also they can be employed as interventions in critical situations such as suicidal attempts.

This research confirms the relationship between personality traits and psychological well-being with the mediating role of emotional regulation in people with irritable bowel syndrome. Because of Numerous scientific evidence in the ontology of this syndrome, further study on emotional skills and related problems in people with irritable bowel syndrome are required.

Diabetes is known as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of glucose due to varying degrees of insulin resistance or insulin secretion. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, which accounts for 90% of the cases and the prevalence is increasing. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is among the novel and effective approaches for treating psychological disorders due to distinct diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of the fundamental concepts of ACT on the diabetic patients and reduction of the tensions posed on these people.

This quasi-experimental pretest posttest study with control group was performed on the statistical sample including 24 women with type II diabetes mellitus in Khaf, Iran. The subjects were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to the two groups of experiment (N=12) and control (N=12). Data collection was completed using emotion regulation questionnaire. The validity of the test was also confirmed. The training plan entailed ACT as eight 90-min sessions.

According to the findings of this study, training based on admission and commitment was influential in controlling emotions, namely aggression, depression, anxiety, and positive emotion in patients with type II diabetes (P < 0.001).

Overall, the findings of the present study showed that emotional control training could pose effect through ACT for type 2 diabetic patients. Accordingly, it can be concluded that learning emotional control and management is important in augmenting self-awareness and healthy relationships. On the other hand, these trainings reduce negative emotions, such as aggression and depression, as well as the effect of these disorders on physical, psychological, and emotional health.
