The present study aimed the effects of cognitive-behavioral couple therapy on the love schemes of married women. The present quasi-experimental study had a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a two-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of married 25-40-year-old women who visited counseling centers in Tehran in 2018. Among them, 40 married women were selected after screening with the love schema questionnaire by Singelis et al. (1995) using the convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups, experimental and control (20 women per group). The experimental group received the cognitive-behavioral couple therapy by Shadish and Baldwin (2005) in 10 sessions. The cognitive-behavioral couple therapy intervention affected secure love schema (P=0.019, F=5.98), clingy love schema (P=0.004, F=9.20), skittish love schema (P=0.006, F=8.55), fickle love schema (P=0.007, F=8.15), casual love schema (P=0.022, F=5.71), and disinterested love schema (P=0.003, F=9.99) and the effect was stable in the follow-up phase.  Cognitive-behavioral couple therapy are effective interventions in improving women's love schema; hence, the findings provide important implications for the education and promotion of mental health in married women.

The aim of this study was to explain the causal emotional divorce of married women based on cognitive emotion regulation strategies and marital burnout. This descriptive-correlational exploratory study was consecutive and guided and the statistical population was 1854 married women referring to health centers in Tehran in 1398. 375 women were selected by multi-stage random sampling method based on sample power software. The research instruments were Guttman (2008) Emotional Divorce Questionnaire, Garnfsky et al.'s (2001) Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies, and Pinez (1966) Marital Burnout, which were administered to the sample. In order to analyze the data, in addition to descriptive statistics, the statistical method of structural equations smartpls was used. Findings of the results of standard coefficients of direct path analysis have shown that there is a significant relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies (β = 0.694) with emotional divorce and also the results of standard coefficients of indirect path have shown that between marital burnout (694 / Β = 0) With the mediation of cognitive emotion regulation strategies with the emotional divorce of married women, there is a relationship and the intensity of the desired effect. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that cognitive emotion regulation has a mediating role in the relationship between marital burnout and emotional divorce.

The aim of this study was to identify coronavirus anxiety based on anxiety tolerance and problem solving styles in working women in Yasuj. The design of the present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the study consisted of all working women in Yasuj in 1399. From the statistical population based on Morgan table, 364 people were selected and studied by random sampling of single-stage clusters. Data were collected using the Simmons and Gaher (2005) Distress Tolerance Questionnaire, Cassidy and Lang (1996) problem-solving strategies, and the coronavirus anxiety of Alipour et al. (1398). After collecting and extracting the data, participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis by SPSS statistical software. The results of correlation coefficient showed that corona anxiety has a negative correlation with constructive problem solving style and distress tolerance and a positive correlation with non-constructive problem solving style. Also, the results of multivariate regression showed that constructive problem solving style with beta coefficient of 0.11, non-constructive problem solving style with beta coefficient of -0.76 and distress tolerance with beta coefficient of 0.20 could predict coronary anxiety in working women. Because problem-solving and stress-tolerant styles can be good predictors of coronary heart disease anxiety; Corona anxiety can be reduced by examining effective problem-solving strategies and increasing distress tolerance.

The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to extramarital affairs based on mood apathy, differentiation and sexual intimacy in cultural women. The present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of all cultural women in Shiraz in the year 99-400. From the statistical population, 381 people were selected by available sampling method and studied using an electronic questionnaire. Data were collected using the Watley (2008) Attitudes Towards Extramarital Relationships Questionnaire, Scorne & Smith (2003) Self-Determination, Bagarozi Sexual Intimacy (2001), and Toronto (1994) Emotional Mood Disorder. After collecting and extracting data, participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression and SPSS-24 statistical software. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship (0.01) between the score of differentiation (emotional reaction, my position, emotional breakdown and fusion with others) and sexual intimacy with the tendency to extramarital affairs and between mood dysphoria and its components (difficulty in diagnosis Emotions, difficulty in describing emotions and thinking with external orientation) have a significant positive relationship with the tendency to extramarital relationships (0.01). The results also showed that differentiation with beta coefficient (-0.16) and sexual intimacy with beta coefficient (-0.36) in a negative and mood dysphoria with beta coefficient (0.13) in a positive, predictive power of tendency Have extramarital affairs in cultural women. According to the results of regression tables, the variables of differentiation, mood dysphoria and sexual intimacy have the ability to predict extramarital relationships.

The aim of this study was to predict the attitude towards extramarital relationships based on early maladaptive schemas, criteria for choosing a spouse and responsibility in working women in Neyriz. The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of all working women in Neyriz in 1399. From the statistical population, 200 people were selected by one-stage cluster sampling method and studied using an electronic questionnaire. To collect data, Young's maladaptive schema questionnaires (YSQ), Welfare and Partnership Welfare Criteria (2008), Watley (2008) Attitudes Toward Extramarital Relationships (GEF) and Goff Accountability (1984) were used. After collecting and extracting data, participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression and SPSS-24 statistical software. The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation (P <0.01) between responsibility and criteria for choosing a mate (content and process) with attitudes toward extramarital affairs and between the schema of exclusion and disengagement, self-governance and dysfunctional domain, disrupted constraint domain and other domains. Orientation has a significant positive correlation with attitudes toward extramarital relationships (P <0.01). The results also showed that the criteria for choosing a spouse with a beta coefficient of -0.13, responsibility with a beta coefficient of -0.12, schemas of exclusion and cut-off with a beta coefficient of 0.59, self-governance and dysfunction with a beta coefficient of 0.26, constraint domain Disorders with a beta of 0.19 and other areas of orientation with a beta of 0.20 were able to predict the tendency of extramarital affairs in women. Therefore, according to the results of the research, it is hoped that by training the necessary skills regarding the criteria for choosing a spouse, as well as examining the initial incompatible schemas and responsibility in premarital counseling, the necessary precautions can be taken to a large extent.

The aim of this study was to determine the role of childhood traumatic experiences with dark personality traits mediated by social support. The statistical population of women referring to counseling centers in Tehran was in the period of February 2016 to June 1400. After conducting an initial interview, 250 eligible women were selected in a purposefully available manner by observing the criteria for entering and leaving the research and were assigned to childhood injury questionnaires. Dark personality traits and perceived social support responded. The collected data were analyzed using correlation coefficients and structural equations. The results of correlation coefficients showed a negative correlation between social support with the total score of dark personality traits and components of narcissism, Machiavellianism and anti-socialism and between emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional negligence and physical negligence with the total score of dark personality traits and components. Narcissism, Machiavellianism and anti-socialism and with perceived support and components of perceived support by family, perceived support by important people and perceived support by others have a negative correlation at the level of α = 0.01. The results of the path coefficient model showed that there was a significant direct relationship between the components of childhood rotational injury (emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect and physical negligence) with dark personality traits and social support. There is also a significant direct negative relationship between social support and dark personality traits. Childhood trauma experiences are affected by personality vulnerabilities and long-term developmental experiences, and these factors increase the complexity of personality traits over time.
