The purpose of this research was to investigate the application of semantic fields theory in the vocabulary studies of personality structure based on the Islamic sources. The main question of the research was that in the vocabulary studies of personality structure, what qualitative analyses should be done on data before the factor analysis is done on them and what the application of semantic fields theory is in this case. The research methodology was qualitative-analytical. The results showed that a) one of the most important parts of the vocabulary studies of personality structure is conceptology; something to which has been paid attention less in psychological studies; b) by discovering the conceptual correlations of vocabularies with the help of semantic fields theory and its principles, we are able to use them as a qualitative method in studies and they can make up for the lacks of factor analysis; c) the convergence of principles of semantic fields theory and the methods of religious deductions in Fiqh, Osoul, Tafsir, philosophy, and Kalam could attract the Muslim scientist's attention in the recent decades.

The research aimed to study the comparison between the effectiveness of Islamic grief therapy and group grief therapy program on the behavioral and emotional problems of adolescent mournful girls and their symptoms. This quasi-experimental research was done using the control group, pre-test and post-test designs, and three month follow-up. 30 mournful students were selected by convenience sampling and with the help of Mobarakeh education and then randomly placed in the two test groups and the control group. 7 sessions of Islamic grief therapy which are designed according to the qualitative study were performed for the first group and 7 sessions of group grief therapy which are designed by foundation of war and children were performed for the second group. The results showed that the post-test and the follow-up of each two test groups are meaningfully different from the control group. At the end of intervention period, the Islamic grief therapy had more effectiveness in comparison with the group grief therapy based on each three measurement indicators (P<0.001). The research findings supported this idea that cultural capabilities and religious teachings would help increase the effectiveness of therapy.

The objective of the research is to study the comparison between general health and psychological well-being among women-headed households with and without temporary marriage. This research is non-experimental and is a type of causal-comparative research. The studied population was all women-headed households with and without temporary marriage in Qom. 60 women were randomly selected as the sample for each two groups. The Goldberg's general health questionnaire and Ryff's psychological well-being scales were applied in order to measure the variables. The descriptive information including the criteria of mean, median, mode, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and range and also inferential statistics including tests of Levin, k-s, and independent t were employed to analyze the research questions. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in regard to the components of physical symptoms of anxiety, depression, social performance, general health, self-acceptance, positive relations with others, environmental mastery, purpose driven life, personal growth, and psychological well-being; and there is not a significant difference between the two groups in regard to the component of autonomy.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the efficiency of family and spiritual well-being among university and Hawzah students. This study is a descriptivecorrelational research. The population was university and Hawzah married students having bachelor and master degrees from Qom. By convenience sampling, 391 students were selected as the sample. The study was conducted through two questionnaires: the efficiency of family (Safouraei Parizi's 79 items) and spiritual well-being (Dehshiri's 40 items). The data were analyzed by measures of central tendency, measures of variability, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression, and with the help of SPSS software. The study results showed that there is a positive and meaningful correlation between the efficiency of family and spiritual well-being (r=0.611). Based on spiritual well-being components, predicting the efficiency of family of respondents is meaningful just in the subscales of relationship with self, relationship with God, and relationship with others (F=83.057, P<0.001). In sum, these variables predict 39.6% of the efficiency of family of respondents (R2=39.6).

The aim of this research is to discover the role of the main aspects of personality in the relationship with God. By convenience sampling, 345 students of Shahid Beheshti University were selected and then they responded to personality questionnaires NEO (McCrae & Costa, 1985) and relationship with God (Mazaheri, Pasandideh, & Sadeghi, 1390). The data analyzing by correlation and regression tests showed that neuroticism predicts negative relationship with God, and the characteristics of extraversion, agreeableness, and responsibility predict positive relationship with God. The people with these personality characteristics have a positive relationship with God that it causes the love, fear, and hope in God (good relationship) lead to the respect for and trust in God. On the other hand, the neurotic people have a negative mental image toward self and God and they form their relationship with God on the basis of some unreal characteristics of God such as farness and strictness.

The purpose of the research was to answer the question: do group counseling by means of monotheistic integrated therapy effects on the male prisoner's adaptation? This experimental research was conducted with the help of a control group among male prisoners in the central prison, in Shahrekord, in 1391. Via multistage sampling, 40 people were selected and randomly placed in the two groups of 20; the test and control groups. Bell's adjustment inventory was applied as a screening tool. Then, program of group counseling by means of monotheistic integrated therapy was performed on the members of test group during 12 sessions of one hour and a half. After therapy intervention, post-test and one month later, follow-up test were done for each two groups. The repeated measures analysis of variances was employed for data analyzing. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the mean score of adaptation of the two groups in the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.002). Therefore, it can be said that group counseling by means of monotheistic integrated therapy effects on the male prisoner's adaptation.

In Iran, More than 300 researches about psychotherapy have been published. The aim of the study was to answer these questions: what is the most common approach to psychotherapy?How much is the effect size of therapy interventions during treatment and its follow-ups? This study has reviewed nearly 77 researches in order to answer those questions. This study was applied the qualitative and meta-analytical methodology. To analyze the data and determine the power of interventions, the effect size formula was used. Also, the one-way ANOVA was applied to compare the efficiency of psychotherapies. The findings showed that in Iran, during the years 1379 to 1389 (and until 1392 for spiritual therapies), the effect size of all reported interventions were in a medium level (from 0.5 to 0.8). The most common approach to psychotherapy was cognitive-behavioral. 11 researches fallowed up the effect of interventions and the total effect size of interventions in follow-ups was in a low level 0.49). There was not a meaningful difference between religious and spiritual therapies (mostly in combination with usual therapies).
