A quasi-experimental study with two experimental groups, a control group, pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up and the statistical population was 70 female teachers with diabetes in Zahedan in 1397. Sixty women were selected from this community in an accessible manner and randomly assigned 30 individuals in each of the experimental and control groups. Research tools Goldberg and Hiller (GHQ-28) and Parkerson and Berhadot (1990) and Health Laughter Yoga Program (2011) were administered to the experimental group in eight 60-minute group sessions once a week. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance.

The results indicated the effect of laughter yoga training on physical symptoms (F=4.55, P = 0.037), anxiety symptoms and sleep disorder (F = 3.33, P = 0.024), social functioning (F = 4.35, P = 0.041), depressive symptoms (F = 4.92, P=0.030), total mental health score (F = 3.68, P = 0.046), and Total Quality of Life Score (F = 5.12, P = 0/021) and this effect was sustained at follow-up.

According to the findings of this study, laughter yoga training can be used as a complementary therapy along with other therapies to improve the mental health and quality of life of women with diabetes.

The present study aimed to the effectiveness of emotionally-focused couple therapy on couple’s functional flexibility and distress tolerance.

This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test associated with a control group and a 3-month follow-up. The statistical population included couples referring to Avaye Daroon and Rahnama Counseling Centers and Mehr Hospital Counseling Center in Tehran from May to June 2018. Of them, 60 couples volunteered to participate in the research answered the Connor-Davidson Functional Flexibility Questionnaire (Resilience Scale) (2003) and Simons and Gaher Distress Tolerance Scale (2005). After the screening, 30 couples were selected who were randomly assigned to an experimental group who exposed to an intervention of emotionally-focused couple therapy, and a control group, 15 couples in each group. experimental group were received eight 90-minutes sessions of intervention. Johnson's Emotion-Focused Intervention (2012) were used. The data were analyzed using a mixed ANOVA of repeated measures.

The results indicated the effect of emotion-focused intervention on functional flexibility (P = 0.001, F = 29.75) and distress tolerance (P = 0.004, F = 12.14) the stability of these effects at the follow-up phase.

interventions led the couples to remove their focus from their spouse's behavior and to focus on their behavior, and thereby, they stopped the use of the mentioned communication barriers and, while increasing their tolerance, they could improve their relationships by learning the right communication program to increase their flexibility.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prediction of emotional distress in adolescent girls based on the initial maladaptive schema and parental mind theory.

This is a descriptive correlational study and the statistical population was the second female high school students in Tehran in the academic year 1397-1398 and using the method of random multi-stage cluster sampling, In order to collect information, Toronto Emotional Dysfunction Questionnaire (1994), Young's Early Maladaptive Schema Short Questionnaire (1998) and Baron-Cohen Mind Test (2001) were used to collect data. Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the scores of the components of the initial maladaptive schemas of the parents with the emotional malaise of the girls (P = 0.01); There is also a negative and significant relationship between the score of parents 'mind theory and girls' emotional malaise (P = 0.01). Also, stepwise regression coefficients showed that the standard schemas were stubborn (β = 0.24, P = 0.001), self-disciplinary (β = 0.33, P = 0.001), and abusive (β = 0.41, 001). P = 0.0), Mind theory (β = 0.43, P = 0.001), Release (β = 0.48, P = 0.001), Emotional inhibition (β = 0.50, = 0.001) P), imperfection and shame (β = 0.52, P = 0.001), and entitlement (β = 0.53, P = 0.001), were able to predict emotional malaise

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of rhythmic movement game training on reducing separation anxiety in children aged 5 to 6 years.

The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group and two-month follow-up. The study population of this study was children aged 5 to 6 years with separation anxiety referred to the Family and child clinic of Shahid Beheshti University in 2018. After screening with separation separation measurement scale (parent version), 24 children were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly in The experimental and control groups (12 children in each group) were replaced. The experimental group underwent Rafie (2012) rhythmic movement training package for 8 sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance statistical method.

The results showed that rhythmic motor game training on the total score of separation anxiety (F = 0.004, P = 0.004), fear of being left alone (F = 0.012, F = 7.7), fear of abandonment. (F = 10.00, P = 0.004), then the fear of physical diseases (F = 0.004, F = 10.60) and the dimension of worry about dangerous accidents (F = 0.049, F = 3.97) and this effect was sustained in the follow-up phase.

The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population consisted of mothers with Slow-Learning children who were selected through non-probability and convenience sampling method during 2017-2018, in Tehran. In this study Ahvaz hardiness inventory (1998), Petrides and Furnhams emotional intelligence scale (2001), Beckham’s cognitive triad inventory (1986) and Goldberg general health questionnaire (1979) were used.

As a result, it can be argued that having a cognitive personality and high emotional intelligence as well as positive perspective to self and future in mothers with slow-learning children can lead to their mental health.

This study aimed to design a structural model for predicting marital satisfaction based on attachment styles and life orientation with the mediating role of sensation seeking in married women.

It is a correlational research and the statistical population was 1854 married women referring to health centers in the north of Tehran in 2018. Using random sampling, Azgol, Araj, Niavaran, and Bagh Ferdows neighborhoods were selected, and from these neighborhoods based on Sample Power software, 350 women were selected.

Structural model can also predicate marital satisfaction based on secure (β = 0.53), anxious (β = -0.65), and avoidant (β = -0.43) attachment style, optimistic perception (β = 0.42) and pessimistic perception (β = -0.45) through sensation seeking mediation.

The results show that the design of an appropriate structural model for predicting marital satisfaction based on attachment styles and life orientation with the mediating role of sensation seeking is consistent with the theoretical model and has a good fit; Therefore, for the cohesion and creation of a desirable marital relationship, it is possible to improve couples' relationships by recognizing the emotions of each couple, the type of attachment style and the confrontation of their psychological elements.
