The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sensory processing styles and marital satisfaction. The following self-report measures were given to 136 participant couples (272 women and men) from Tehran who were selected through available sampling and completed Adolesc-ent/Adult Sensory Profile and Enrich marital satisfaction scale. Data was analyzed through Pearson correlation method. Research findings indicated a positive significant relationship bet-ween couple’s sensation seeking and marital satisfaction of themselves and their partners; and there is a negative significant relationship between coup-le’s low registration, sensation avoidi-ng and sensory sensitivity styles and marital satisfaction of themselves and their partners. Results of relationship between men and women’s score distance in each sensory processing style and marital satisfaction indicate that there is a positive significant relationship between couples score distance in sensation seeking and sensation avoiding and men’s marital satisfaction; and there is a negative significant relationship between coup-les score distance in low registration and their marital satisfaction.

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of anger management skills training on family violence and marital satisfaction of householders in Tehran. Methodology was Quasi-experimental on an available sample of 34 subjects from women referring to health houses in region- 2 of Tehran and randomly assigned in experimental and control groups. Using questionnaires of violence and marital satisfaction, data were collected at pretest, posttest, and follow-up and analyzed by ANCOVA. Results indicated that training of anger management skills can significantly decrease family violence and increase marital satisfaction in householders. In addition, results of follow-up showed that effects of intervention lasted. The results of the study provide some evidence to suggest that training of anger management skills is an appropriate method for reducing violence and increasing marital satisfaction. Anger management skills training help women probably by reinforcement of the behavioral skills of regulation, change and create desirable emotions. As a consequence of decreased undesirable behaviors related to violence, desirable behavioral, emotional and cognitive changes were reinforced in family and marital satisfaction improved.

This study attempts to consider the relationship between couple burnout, sexual assertiveness, and sexual dysfunctional beliefs in women with diabetic husbands and comparing them with women with non-diabetic husbands.This study includes a sample pop-ulation of 200 individuals; 100 women with diabetic husbands and 100 wom-en with non-diabetic husbands. These participants were selected through available sampling method. Both of the groups filled the questioners inclu-ding personality trait, demographic (self-made), couple burnout (CBM), sexual assertiveness (HISA) and sexual dysfunctional beliefs (SDBQ).Results of multi- variable analysis of variance of the main question of rese-arch show that there is a meaningful difference between couple burnout, sexual assertiveness, and sexual dysfunctional beliefs in women with diabetic husbands and women with non-diabetic husbands. Women with non-diabetic husbands had higher sexual assertiveness and lower couple burnout and sexual dysfunctional beliefs than women with diabetic hus-bands. It seems that one of the most impo-rtant factors influencing and increase-ing couple burnout, increasing wrong sexual beliefs regarding sexual func-tion, and decreasing sexual assertive-ness in women is sexual dysfunction of the husband. In fact, women whose husbands suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes (resulting in sexual dysfunction in patients) have lower sexual assertiveness and higher couple burnout and sexual dysfunctional be-liefs comparing to other women.

Divorce is one of the most impor-tant phenomenons of human life that not only undermines the psychological balance of the couple but also to cha-nge the psychological balance of the children, relatives, and friends. The purpose of the present study is to inv-estigate the impact of Children of Div-orce Intervention Program (CODIP).A sample of 26 children of divorce (11 boys and 15 girls) between 7 to 9 ye-ars old was selected through an avai-lable sampling of community. CODIP was conducted on the experimental group over 15 sessions (two sessions per week) once the subjects were ran-domly assigned to control and experi-mental groups and completed three questionnaires including Children’s Ideas about Divorce scale (CIAD), Parent Evaluation Form (PEF) and Group Leader Evaluation Form (GL-EF). Study results based on ANOVA show a significant difference between experimental and control groups (P<0/001). These results indicate that CODIP was effective to increase children's positive feelings and attitu-des towards their parental divorce, re-duced children's negative feelings to-ward their parental divorce, improved children's relationships with their par-ents and peers, and increased problem-solving skills of children.

The purpose of the present research is to study healthy and unhealthy per-fectionism as well as type A person-ality based on different parenting sty-les. With a ex-post-facto method, a sa-mple of undergraduate students at Shahid Beheshti University was selec-ted through random multistage cluster sampling with at least 80 students in every parenting style.This sample consists of 407 students: 235 girls and 172 boys. The subjects completed three questionnaires of per-ceived parenting style, positive and negative perfectionism scale and type A personality. The collected data was analyzed by statistical tests MANO-VA and ANOVA and Scheffe post hoc test. Results indicated that healthy perfectionism in the authoritative par-enting style is more and in negligent parenting style is lower than the other parenting styles. The unhealthy perfe-ctionism of the boys was more than girls. The interactive effect of the two variables namely parenting styles and gender upon healthy perfectionism was significant. Healthy¬ perfectionism in authoritative parenting style in girls was more than boys and in permissive parenting style healthy perfectionism in boys was more than girls. The gen-eral effect of parenting styles and general effect of gender in score of type A personality did not show significant difference; however, the interactive effect of parenting styles and gender upon type A personality was supported. Here in permissive parenting style the type A personality in boys is higher than girls and in authoritarian parenting style the type A personality in girls is higher than boys. Due to the crucial role of parent's parenting styles in creating healthy and unhealthy perfe-ctionism and also due to interactive effect of parenting style and gender on the healthy perfectionism and type A personality, educating parents on par-enting styles and also giving instr-uction to the families for raising heal-thy persons in the society is a high priority.

Considering the importance of the lineage in safeguarding family system and generation stability, the legislator always has made an effort to pro-tection it by legislation.So far the legislator has provided some evidence including presumption of legitimacy, confession, oral eviden-ce and renown on fatherhood lineage that covert nature of origin is more difficult to prove than mother lineage. As such, the holy legislator has acted carefully.On the other hand the legislator in area of proving lineage accepts the weakest evidence in case of absence of strong evidences. Therefore, considering the lack of limitation of proving lineage evidence and manner of legislator approach in this regard, the status of scientific exact methods as DNA test that one of the important uses of these methods in genetics science is proving lineage and determining paternity rela-tionship is considerable. The aim of the present paper is to investigate this point because it seems that authority and applied value of this test to pro-ving lineage based on the Islamic law in view of opinions of Islamic jurist and lawyers is demonstrable.
