Relationship is an innate need among human beings; when relationship formed and continued in a healthy manner then feeling secure, self-esteem, self-efficiency, commitment, intimacy, assertion, and accepting boundaries will be acquired in the individual from birth to adulthood. Thus, regulation of relations has effective role in mental health of individuals and near and far society. Islam has a special view on the regulation of these relationships in various institutions, including the first and the most important institution of communication, the family, in the form of parent-adolescent relationship. The purpose of the current research is to explain a model of parent-child interpersonal communication based on Islamic sources to organize the interpersonal communication between parents and their adolescent children. In this research, the method of content conceptual analysis was used. Also, the Content Validity Index was used to confirm the validity of the inference made based on the opinion of ten experts. The findings showed that the parent-adolescent relationship model is based on communication rationality, in the sense that it includes the structural components of “benevolence” and “avoidance of tyranny”, the maintenance components of “thankfulness” and the reconstruction components of communication “forgiveness” and “patience”. Forgiveness should be used in combination. Each of the obtained Content Validity Index and Content Validity Ratio was 1, which indicates the correctness of the inference of the four communication situations from the base narrative at a very favorable level.

Human talents, with all of similarities and variations in their type and amount, are indicative of the existence of a positive capability within human being. The goal of sending prophets was to actualize this human capability. This research aimed to identify the types of talent from Islam’s perspective based of the Hadith of armies of wisdom and ignorance. This was a qualitative thematic analysis study. Purposive sampling method was applied. The Hadith of armies of wisdom and ignorance consists of set of positive human capabilities which were selected in order to identify Types of talents according to Islam.

The 5 comprehensive themes include: intellectual talent, motivational-effective talent, relational talent, spiritual talent, and financial-economic talent; these are types of talents according to Islam. In addition, results showed that among these five talents, intellectual talent was the most evident and the most effective; relational talent has a wider conceptual domain.

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-communication education (based on the quadruple communication perspective) on the religious identity of 12 to 15-year adolescents in Isfahan’s schools. The method of this research was semi-experimental with pre- and post-test and a control group. Using convenient sampling method, 40 fifth and sixth graders studying in Taha non-profit school (District 2) were recruited. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, participant assigned to experimental (20 people) and control (20 people) groups. First, the Bell Religious Identity Questionnaire was applied to the two groups. Then the experimental group was trained for 16 sessions of 75 minutes; all participants were analyzed in the pre- and post-test stages. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and analysis of covariance. The research hypothesis, the effectiveness of self-communication training on adolescents' religious identity, was confirmed. Based on the finding, we conclude that educating the quadruple communications to adolescents affects and increase religious identity.

In the history of ideas and theories, the concept of gratitude enjoys a long life, but in the history of psychology has relatively short past. Based on Islamic sources, gratitude has been introduced as a superior reaction to the goodness of others and a measure of humanity and separation from the border of being animal. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explain the components of gratitude based on the concept of Islamic gratitude, which was analyzed using the method of qualitative content analysis of religious texts. Components of gratitude were extracted from Islamic sources. Data validity (reliability check) was confirmed using the Content Validity Ratio and Content Validity Index with the help of the experts' specification table. The research findings showed that gratitude has two internal and external components; internal component is cognitive-emotional and the external component is verbal and behavioral, which can be used to strengthen interpersonal relationships.

The increased prevalence of cancer in the last decade and effects of this illness on various aspects of physical, psychological, and social life of people made cancer a major health problem of the century. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of meaning therapy on the level of pain and life expectancy among women with breast cancer. This was a semi-experimental study with a pre- and post-tests design with a control group. The statistical population of the current study included female patients with breast cancer in Tehran. Among these through convenient sampling, 30 people were selected and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups (15 individuals per groups). Multidimensional Pain Questionnaire and Life Expectancy Questionnaire were applied. The experimental group underwent meaning therapy for 10 sessions, and the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Multivariate Covariance test was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that in all subscales of pain and life expectancy scales, after controlling for the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference between the average post-test scores of the experimental and control groups. Based on the results of this study, we conclude that meaning therapy has reduced pain and increased life expectancy in women with breast cancer.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family boundaries and emotional divorce with the mediating role of marital satisfaction. The research method was descriptive-correlational. For this purpose, 144 people were selected through convenient sampling method. Subjects answered three scales: Islamic family boundaries, marital satisfaction, and emotional divorce. Data analysis was performed by Baron and Kenny’s four-step method using linear regression. Findings showed: a) there is a negative relationship between family boundaries and emotional divorce; b) there is a positive relationship between family boundaries and marital satisfaction; c) there is a negative relationship between marital satisfaction and emotional divorce; and d) marital satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between family boundaries and emotional divorce. Thus, organizing and streamlining family boundaries, with a focus on increasing marital satisfaction, reduces emotional divorce. The end result of this reorganization and efficiency will be the consolidation of the foundations of the family.
