This study aimed to investigate the Feasibility of the executive functions training program using augmented reality on social skills in high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder. The research was conducted using a semi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a three-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the study included all children with autism spectrum disorder with high functioning in Tehran in 2023- 2024. After screening the research sample according to the entry and exit criteria, eligible children were included in the study and randomly assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The research tool included Gilliam's autism diagnostic scale - Second Edition (1994). The variance analysis method with repeated measurements was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the executive functions training program using augmented reality had a significant effect on the control group in the two stages of post-test and follow-up (p<0.001). Also, the effect size showed a 0.29% effect of the executive functions training program using augmented reality on social skills. It is concluded that to improve social skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, augmented reality can be used to teach executive functions.

This study aimed to predict aggression in adolescents based on the quality of interpersonal relationships and cognitive regulation of emotion. This research was basic research and regarding procedure, it was a descriptive-correlation study. The statistical population of the current study was teenagers aged 15 to 18 in Tehran in 2023 from the north, northwest, west, and southwest regions of Tehran. The sampling method was available and a sample of 220 people was considered for the present study.

The research method was descriptive-correlational and based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all undergraduate students of Khomein Azad University in the academic year 2022-2023, from whom 325 were selected as a sample by multi-stage cluster sampling method. For data collection, the academic buoyancy questionnaire (ABQ, Martin and Marsh, 2008), cognitive flexibility Inventory (CFI, Dennis & Vanderwall, 2010), and metacognitive strategies questionnaire (MSQ, Macinerney &  Dowson,2004) were used. The results showed that the proposed model is a good fit and the direct effect of metacognitive strategies on academic buoyancy and cognitive flexibility was significant (p<0/001), and the direct effect of cognitive flexibility on academic buoyancy was significant (p<0/01). Other results showed that cognitive flexibility plays a mediating role between metacognitive strategies and academic buoyancy (p<0/01).  In general, it can be concluded that metacognitive strategies directly and indirectly with the mediation of cognitive flexibility affect the level of academic buoyancy in students.

Therefore, it can be concluded that parenting styles and personality traits of parents play an essential role in predicting the symptoms of dramatic personality disorder and can play a significant role in the formation of dramatic personality disorder in children.

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment on pain self-efficacy and clinical symptoms in women with migraine. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up. The statistical population of the study included all women with migraine who were referred to the headache clinic of Shahrekord Hospital in 2022, from which 30 people were selected using the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people were placed in the control group). Measurement tools included Nicholas's Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ, 1990) and Derogatis & Melisaratos's Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI, 1983). The experimental group was subjected to an intervention based on Barlow et al's met diagnostic therapy (2011) during eight 90-minute sessions and once a week. Analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used to analyze the data. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the groups in the post-test and follow-up of pain self-efficacy and clinical symptoms (P<0.05), and the extra diagnostic treatment had a lasting effect in the follow-up period (P<0.05). As a result, transdiagnostic treatment can be used as an effective treatment to increase pain self-efficacy and reduce the clinical symptoms of women with migraine.

The treatment package (couple therapy based on acceptance and commitment) was applied to the participants in 12 sessions and 4 stages of the baseline the first follow-up of 45 days and the second follow-up of 3 months.  Data was analyzed with visual inspection, improvement percentage, and reliable change index strategies. The results of the analysis showed that the encounter of couple therapy based on acceptance and commitment has significantly reduced the sensitivity to rejection and increased the sexual arousal symptoms of couples clinically and statistically (p<0.05) and this effect has continued over time. Therefore, the use of this couple's therapy intervention can significantly reduce marital problems such as sensitivity to rejection, and on the other hand, by increasing the symptoms of sexual arousal, it can help improve couples' intimacy, especially sexual intimacy.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of pain acceptance and self-efficacy in the relationship between the tendency to addiction and difficulty in emotion regulation in patients with cancer. The current research was descriptive-correlation based on path analysis. The statistical population included all the cancer patients of Arak City in 2019-2020, out of which 215 people were selected by purposive sampling.

Data were analyzed by path analysis. Path analysis results showed that pain acceptance and pain self-efficacy had a direct and negative impact on addiction tendency (P< 0.01).  Difficulties in emotion regulation have a positive and indirect with addiction via pain acceptance and pain self-efficacy (P < 0.01). Fit indices also indicated approval of the suggested model. This suggests that pain acceptance and pain self-efficacy play a mediating role in the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and the tendency to addiction.

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mutual behavior analysis and narrative therapy on interpersonal forgiveness of women affected by marital contract breaking. The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a follow-up of 2 months.
