Marital commitment is the strongest and most stable factor predicting the quality and stability of married life. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of flourishing, self-compassion and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in predicting marital commitment in nurses.

This was a descriptive and correlational study. The statistical population included the nurses working in Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah in 1400, among them 210 nurses were selected by available sampling method. Participants completed the Adams, Jones questionnaire of marital commitment, Biswas-Diener questionnaire of flourishing, Neff questionnaire of Self-Compassion and Garnefski et al questionnaire of cognitive emotion regulation. The research data were analyzed using SPSS-25 through descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Inferential statistics (Pearson correlation, canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and multiple regression methods)

CCA results indicated that there was a significant correlation between the marital commitment and variables of flourishing, self-compassion and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the nurses (p<0.001). Also, results of regression analysis revealed that 28% of the variance of the marital commitment variable could be predicted by predictor variables of flourishing, self-compassion and cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

It can be said that flourishing, self-compassion and cognitive emotion regulation strategies play a role in increasing marital commitment. Therefore, marital commitment can be increased by improving flourishing, self-compassion and teaching cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

Flourishing is a state of optimal mental health. Various factors influence flourishing, among which moral intelligence can be mentioned. Moral intelligence determines a person's moral course in life and the world of work, prevents the occurrence of criminal and illegal actions, and ensures compliance with ethics in decisions. Studying the role of hope in people's flourishing is also considered by psychologists. Hope is a significant factor in life that helps people to be more compatible with others. Students have a considerable role in the progress of any country and in achieving its goals and ideals. The study of variables that play a role in reducing students' learning disabilities has always been considered because by raising and flourishing the cultured and educated generation, not only cultural and educational goals can be achieved, but it can also play an essential role in socioeconomic fields. So, this study aimed to determine the model of flourishing in youth based on moral intelligence according to the mediating role of hope.

This research was conducted analytically based on structural equation modeling. The study’s statistical population included all 20 to 35 years old students of the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery studying at Iran University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2020–2021. Of 740 students, 384 were qualified and volunteered. Available sampling was used to select the samples. In this study, considering the probability of subject’s dropout and increasing the accuracy and generalizability of the results, 384 samples were selected. The inclusion criteria for the study included studying at the university of medical sciences, living in Tehran, being interested in collaborating in research, and lacking any physical or mental illness (based on information received by self–reported method). The exclusion criterion was lack of cooperation in research and illness. The following questionnaires were used to collect the required data: Flourishing Questionnaire (Soleimani et al., 2015), Moral Intelligence Questionnaire (Lennick & Kiel, 2007), and Life Expectancy Scale (Snyder et al., 1991). To analyze the data, in addition to descriptive statistics, The Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used at a significance level of 0.05 in SPSS version 24 and LISREL software.

The results obtained from the Pearson correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficients between the research variables, including flourishing, moral intelligence, and hope were statistically significant (p<0.001). Also, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the direct effects of moral intelligence on hope (β=0.28, p<0.001), hope on flourishing (β=0.53, p<0.001), and moral intelligence on flourishing (β=0.44, p<0.001) were positive and significant. On the other hand, the indirect effect of moral intelligence on flourishing mediated by hope was positive and significant (β=0.15, p<0.001). Also, the effect of total moral intelligence on flourishing (β=0.59, p<0.001) was positive and significant. On the other hand, the results of good fit indices indicated that the model fits well (X2 /df=1.92, AGFI=0.96, GFI=0.95, CFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.055).

Based on the findings of this study, moral intelligence mediated by hope is a good predictor of flourishing, and it can determine the flourishing model. This finding can be especially useful for students of Iran University of Medical Sciences.

The birth of children with mental and physical disabilities or the appearance of symptoms of mental and physical disabilities make their parents amazed and disappointed. Procrastination is a common and universal phenomenon, and postponement, procrastination, and negligence at work refer to the act of unnecessarily and irrationally postponing things to the point where a person feels uncomfortable. One of the intervention methods to reduce couples' incompatibility is the family problem–solving method, which helps couples find reasonable solutions to their conflicts by teaching them how to negotiate. Most of the psychological approaches in the field of flourishing include positive psychology and mental health perspectives. Children and the problems caused by caring for these children put a lot of stress on these parents and cause disorders in their psychological functions, which necessitates the study and comparison of different components between the parents of these children. The present study aims to compare family problem solving, procrastination, and flourishing among parents of children with special learning disorders (SLD) and parents of children with intellectual disabilities.

The method of this research was a causal–comparative. The study population was all parents of students with SLD and intellectual disabilities living in the city of Tabriz, Iran, in the second semester of the academic year 2017–2018. By random sampling method, 160 parents (father or mother; 80 parents of children with special learning disorders and 80 parents of children with intellectual disabilities) were selected. The inclusion criteria of one of the parents in the study were having at least a sixth–grade elementary education, both parents being alive, and no obvious physical disability (deafness, blindness, motor disability) that hindered the research. The exclusion criteria were receiving simultaneous psychological or medical treatment from parents, divorce and separation of parents from each other, and living independently and separate from each other. The study data were gathered via Family Problem Solving Scale (Ahmadi et al., 2007), Procrastination Questionnaire (Tuckman, 1991) and Flourishing Scale (Diner et al., 2010). For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) in SPSS software version 21. The significant level was set at 0.05.

The results showed a significant difference between parents of children with SLD and parents of children with intellectual disability in the procrastination (p<0.001) and subscale of interest in daily activities (from the flourishing variable) (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between them in family problem solving and its subscales, as well as flourishing variable and its other subscales.

Based on the research findings, parents of children with intellectual disabilities are more negligent than parents of children with SLD. Also, the parents of children with intellectual disabilities are more interested in daily activities compared to parents of children with SLD. 

Academic vitality is one of the effective factors of learning and plays a significant role in the academic success of students. The present study aimed to predict academic vitality in students based on family emotional atmosphere, flourishing and self-compassion.

This was a correlational study performed on all BSc students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in the first semester of 2019-2020. In total, 339 subjects were selected by random sampling, and data were collected using the academic vitality scale, the affective family emotional atmosphere questionnaire, the self-compassion scale, and the flourishing questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 24 using descriptive statistics and the canonical correlation method.

In this study, there was a significant relationship between academic vitality and family emotional atmosphere, flourishing and self-compassion in students (F=75.38, λ=0.69, P<0.001). Furthermore, the regression analysis results explained 31% of the variance of academic vitality with predictors of family emotional atmosphere, flourishing and self-compassion.

Our findings could be used by higher education planners to adopt appropriate educational policies in order to recognize factors affecting vitality.

Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common neurological diseases and affects various aspects of a personchr('39')s life. The aim of this study was to compare the cognitive fusion, self-compassion and flourishing in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and normal individuals.

The research design was descriptive and comparative. The statistical population included all patients with MS under the supervision of the Mashhad MS Association in 2020, from which 40 people were selected by purposive sampling. For the normal group, 40 normal people matched to patient group were selected. The instruments used in this study were the cognitive fusion questionnaire of Gilanders et al, self-compassion questionnaire of Neff and Diener, Biswas-Diener Flourishing questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed with multivariate analysis of variance and logistic regression using SPSS-24.

The results of the present study showed that the mean scores of cognitive fusions in patients with multiple sclerosis (40.87±5.69) was higher than normal individuals (14.5±5.22), the mean scores of self-compassions in patients with multiple sclerosis (39.72±7.84) was less than normal people (76±9.53) and the mean score of flourishing in patients with multiple sclerosis (25.7±7.76) was less than normal people (47.42±5.75) (p<0.05). The results of logistic regression showed that cognitive fusion, self-compassion and flourishing predicted MS.

Based on the results of the present study patients with MS have higher cognitive fusion and lower self-compassion and flourishing than normal people. Given that psychological factors play an important role in the quality of life and improve performance of these people, it is necessary for counselors and therapists to consider the importance of psychological factors during the treatment of this disease.

In the present era, the quality and quantity of education play a crucial role in the future perspective of the individual and is one of the efficacious and appropriate learning strategies in help-seeking or seeking academic help from others. The purpose of the present study was to present a structural model of academic help-seeking based on self-determination and flourishing with the mediating role of academic participation and students' motivational beliefs.

The present study is a developmental-correlational study. The statistical population of this study included all-female high school students in Tehran in the 2019-20 academic year, 454 of whom participated in this study by random cluster sampling as the study sample. The participants answered to the Help-Seeking Questionnaire (Ryan and Pentrich 1997), Basic Needs for self-determination (Ilardi, Leon, Kaiser, and Ryan 1993), the Flourishing Scale (Dainer et al, 2008), Academic participation Scale (Shuffle and Becker, 2006), and Motivational Beliefs Questionnaire (Pentrich et al, 1991). After collecting the questionnaires, the extracted data were analyzed by using structural equation modeling.

The results indicated that the proposed model has a good fit with the data. The results showed a significant relationship between self-determination, flourishing, academic participation, and motivational beliefs with help-seeking (P <0.01) and also, the results of the Bootstrap test showed that the indirect effect of self-determination on help-seeking through motivational beliefs is 0.147 and the indirect effect of flourishing on help-seeking through motivational beliefs is 0.139, which is significant at the level of 0.01.

The results indicated that self-determination and flourishing have a direct effect on students' help-seeking. They also have indirect effects on self-determination and flourishing through motivational beliefs that help to promote students' help-seeking behavior.

Human flourishing is one of the important issues that have been currently the focus of positive psychology. Therefore, the study of flourishing and related variables can be helpful in reducing anxiety, stress, and depression. According, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of flourishing education on anxiety, stress, and depression in students of Babol University of Medical Sciences.

The present study was an applied study that employed a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and a control group. The research population included all students of Babol University of Medical Sciences. A total of 38 students who scored a standard deviation lower than the mean in the flourishing questionnaire were selected by random cluster sampling and divided into two groups. Before, the intervention, the participants in the two groups completed the Anxiety, Stress and Depression Inventories. Then, the participants in the intervention group attending the flourish training program. Finally, both groups took the post-test. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).

The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that the two groups had significant differences in terms of anxiety (F=10.983, P=0.002), stress (F=9.174, P=0.005), and depression (F=4.252, P=0.047) after the intervention. This suggests that flourishing training reduced anxiety, stress and depression experienced by the participants in the intervention group.

In line with the findings of this study, it can be suggested that implementing flourishing training reduces students' stress, anxiety, and depression.

Recently, special attention has been paid to physical and mental health and its predictors among the researchers of psychology. Health is a multidimensional concept, and its dimensions affect each other and the health of the individual and community. Health is essential to the fulfillment of social roles, and humans should be fully active if they feel healthy and are considered healthy by the society. The nursing profession plays a pivotal role in the provision of healthcare services in every country. Therefore, the physical and mental health of nurses and improving their professional performance in patient care are of utmost importance. Identifying and determining the influential factors in the physical and mental health of nurses is crucial in this regard. The present study aimed to provide a model of prosperity and optimism to better understand the physical and mental health of nursing students. The importance of the research subject is that health is not only defined as the absence of diseases and encompasses physical, mental, and social welfare as well. However, this comprehensive definition is rather ideal and unattainable, and it may not be easy to distinguish between health and disease as such. By this definition, health should be considered a high peak that can never be conquered, while everyone must strive to achieve it. Researchers believe that health and disease are not an absolute and independent state, but rather a process in which the influence of cultural, social, and psychological factors is highlighted in the development of the disease. Considering the valuable role of positivity, studies on the influential factors in mental and physical health are of particular importance. In this regard, the variables of prosperity, positive emotions, and optimism have been shown to affect physical and mental health. The present study aimed to provide a model for the assessment of physical and mental health using flourishing mediated by positive emotions and optimism.

This analytical-correlational study was conducted on the nursing students of Hazrat Fatemeh School of Nursing and Midwifery in Shiraz, Iran in 2019, including 300 subjects (243 females and 57 males). The participants were selected via stratified random sampling and using a questionnaire. Data were collected using SF-36, HFQ, and revised life orientation test (LOT-R). Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 and AMOS version 22 software.

The findings showed that the flourishing subscales of positive emotions, relationships, and optimism directly affected the physical and mental health of the students. In addition, the variables of positive emotions and relationships in the final model directly and indirectly caused changes in physical health through the variable of optimism, and the subscale of progress in the final model only had an indirect impact through the variable of optimism. On the other hand, the subscale of meaning had no effect on the physical or mental health of the students.

With regard to the correlation of optimism and physical/mental health, our findings indicated individuals with high optimism are often active, creative, and hardworking, while they are also good initiators and planners. Furthermore, these individuals are able to make the best of stressful situations, which in turn makes them less exposed to the further risks and pressure caused by stressful events. The immune system performs better in the individuals with high optimism, and they have better coping abilities against stress by using more effective coping strategies, such as reassessment and problem-solving. Therefore, it is expected that training on flourishing and increasing optimism through positive psychology techniques could be an effective mechanism to correct false beliefs and prevent psychosomatic and psychological disorders in nursing students. Furthermore, the effects of such training interventions could be intensified with the incorporation of interventional programs in the field of student empowerment against stress.

 Nursing students, as future nurses, will be the largest health care group and will affect the productivity and progress of the organization more than any other group of hospital staff. One of the factors that can influence this is the attention to the physical and mental health of the nurses. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the structural relations between physical-mental health and flourishing with respect to the mediating role of positive affection in nursing students.

This study was descriptive-correlational. To this end, a sample of 300 subjects (243 females and 57 males) was selected by stratified random sampling method among the nursing students of Fatemeh School of Nursing and Midwifery in Shiraz in 2019 and were evaluated using 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), positive and negative affection schedule (PANAS) and human flourishing questionnaire (HFQ). The data were evaluated using path analysis by statistical software SPSS-22 and AMOS-22.

Findings showed that flourishing subscales including positive affection and relationships both directly and indirectly affect the physical and mental health of nursing students through positive affection (p <0.05). Also, according to the findings, the variable of meaning in the final model, only indirectly through positive affection, causes a change in the level of physical and mental health of undergraduate nursing students. The pathway of positive affection to physical-mental health (β = 0.23) and the pathway of optimism to physical-mental health (β = 0.25) are statistically significant and indicate that they can have physical health. Explain the psychology of nursing students. In other words, 23% of physical-mental health is directly affected by positive affection and 25% of optimism.

According to the findings, since flourishing and positive affection had a positive effect on physical and mental health, it seems that flourishing and positive affection act as an effective mechanism to correct beliefs and with their growth and improvement can be used to prevent psychosomatic diseases as well as psychological problems of nursing students.

Given the important role of counselors and psychologists in promoting psychological health in society, the compliance of professional ethics in these occupations is of particular importance. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting professional ethics in counselors and psychologists.

The research method was correlational using structural equation modeling method. The sample consisted of 400 counselors and psychologists who were selected online through social media. The instruments used were professional ethic (Cadozier, 2002), General Self-efficacy scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995), Flourishing scale (Diener, 2010) and Social desirability scale (Marlowe & Crowne, 1998). Data analysis was performed by statistical methods of Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 software.

The results of structural equation modeling showed that the model of relationships between self-efficacy, flourishing and professional ethics has a good fit and flourishing and self-efficacy can explain 62% of professional ethics (P<0.001). According to the results, higher levels of self-efficacy and flourishing predict a higher level of professional ethics, as well as social desirability in this regard played a moderating role in model. The role of gender, marriage, education, field of study and years of work in modifying this relationship was not confirmed. Ethical Considerations: The aims of the study and the confidentiality of information were explained to the participants and informed and voluntary consent was obtained in writing.

This study showed that Flourishing and self-efficacy have an effective role in the professional ethics of counselors and psychologists and in order to promote the professional ethics of counselors and psychologists along with professional ethics education, these factors should be considered.

Success and failure in studying is one of the important concerns of educational systems. This study aimed at designing a model of academic performance based on the academic identity, academic vitality and flourishing in medical students by examining the intermediate role of academic self-efficacy.

This correlation study was done via structural equation modeling. Population include 400 medical students of Kermanshah in first semester of the academic years 2018-2019 that have been selected by the cluster sampling method. To collect data, academic identity, academic vitality, flourishing, and academic self-efficacy questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient.

 The results indicated that successful academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing are interacting with the intermediate role of academic self-efficacy in explaining the studentschr('39') academic performance are effective. The direct effect of successful academic identity (0.31), academic vitality (0.41) and flourishing (0.34) were significant in estimating studentschr('39') academic performance. Likewise, the results of path analysis indicated the intermediate role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between successful academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing with academic performance of students

Regarding the indirect effect of academic self-efficacy on the academic performance, it seems that academic self-efficacy modulates the relationship between successful academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing with academic performance.

Identifying gender differences in variables such as academic vitality, flourishing and academic identity can play an important role in student education. Hence, the purpose of this study was to compare academic vitality, flourishing and academic identity dimensions based on gender of students. The study was causal comparative study;and, the statistical population of this study was all students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in in first semester in 2018-19 academic years; then, by using multistage random sampling, 200 students (100 female and 100 male students) were selected from the statistical population. Data collection had done by academic identity, academic vitality, flourishing questionnaires. Thereupon, data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance analysis (MANOVA), in addition, using SPSS version 22. The findings divulged that there was a significant difference between male and female students in terms of academic vitality, flourishing, and successful academic identity. In fact, female students in comparison to the opposite gender showed the higher levels of successful sequences in academic vitality, flourishing, and academic identity.Therefore, considering the gender differences in academic vitality, flourishing, and academic identity can include important and effective implications on academic performance of students and, moreover, enhance their academic performance.

Evaluation of academic performance and recognition of effective factors in this regard can considerably help the improvement of the academic and educational states of students. This study aimed to evaluate the role of academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing in the prediction of academic performance of students at the University of Medical Sciences.

This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 200 students of the University of Medical Sciences, selected by random multistage sampling. Data were collected using the questionnaires of academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing. In addition, data analysis was performed in SPSS version 21 using canonical correlation analysis and multiple regression.

In this study, there was a significant relationship between the variables of academic performance and dimensions of academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing of students (F=73.35, λ=0.644, P<0.001). In addition, the regression analysis results revealed that 36% of the variance of academic performance was explained by the predictive variables (dimensions of academic identity, academic vitality, and flourishing).

According to the results of the study, a rigorous and detailed plan can be defined based on the academic performance of students and their knowledge of effective factors to actualize the potential talents of students and lay the foundation for more growth and flourishing of these individuals.
