In this correlation study, 300 undergraduates from different faculties of Isfahan University were selected via multi-stage random sampling. Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90-R), and demographic questionnaire were applied to the sample. Pierson’s correlation coefficient, canonical correlation and Stepwise regression analysis were used for statistical analysis by SPSS-11.5. Results demonstrated that catastrophizing and rumination could predict emotional regulation. Also, from among the personal and familial factors, recent stressful events were related to all of the emotional problems, and hostility was correlated with sever traumatic experiences. According to the findings, eliminating non-effective emotion regulation strategies and training effective strategies should be considered as part of the intervention in emotional problems.

The purpose of the present research was to validate the Differentiation of Self Inventory for measuring differentiation of self in men and women participating in family teaching course at Sanandaj middle schools. The study is of correlation sort (the factor analysis being of tendentious oblimin rotation sort). 512 subjects (women and men) were randomly selected from among the participants of Family Teaching Course in Sanandaj middle schools in 2011. The participants completed the Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI-2) and Criterion questionnaires. Data was analysed via factor analysis of tendentious oblimin rotation and confirmatory factor analysis. Factor analysis via tendentious oblimin rotation sort indicated that four factors, which were confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Data were indicative of a satisfactory level for the reliability coefficients of Coranbach, Alpha and Split-half (89% and 83%) of the Differentiation of Self Inventory and extracted factors. The discriminating and convergent validity of the questionnaire was examined by measurement tools for positive and negative effect, self- confidence and SCL-90-R(Anxiety and Interpersonal Sensitivity) and the correlation results for the five criteria are sequentially as follow: 38%, -41%, 39%, -42%, and -36% which are significant at (P<0001).

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among gender ideologies, marital roles, emotional intelligence and quality of life among married employees in Shiraz offices. 250 married employees (125 males and 125 females) from Shiraz public offices were selected randomly using the stratified sampling method, and completed Gender Roles Ideology, Marital Roles, Emotional Intelligence, and quality of life scales. The psychometric properties of used instruments were satisfactory. Results showed positive correlations of gender ideologies, marital roles, and emotional intelligence variables with quality of life of 0.32 to.052. The results of regression analysis using enter and stepwise also indicated that marital roles, and emotional intelligence can predict of variance life of quality (criterion variable), while the one other variable did not has any contribution in prediction of criterion variable. In present study, we can infer that gender ideologies and emotional intelligence have not role in develop of life of quality, and marital roles alone has importance effect in individuals understanding of life situation.

Aim and Divorce, as one of the most stressful events, leads to some mental and emotional problems, especially in divorced women. The aim of the present research was to study the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavior therapy on depression in divorced women. The research is a quasi-experimental method with pre-post test, fallow-up and control group. The sample consisted of 30 divorced women selected by in-reach sampling and matched by age, educational status, physical health and other criteria considered in this research. They were randomly divided into two groups (n=12) of experimental and control. We administered 12 45-minute weekly sessions of religion-based cognitive- behavior therapy for the experimental group, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The instrument was Beck Depression Inventory II (BDII). The results revealed significant difference between the two groups regarding depression (P<0/001). Also, the rate of depression significantly decreased as compared to pre-test and control group. The results proved that religion-based cognitive-behavior therapy decreases the rate of depression in divorced women.

The current study was administered to investigate the perceived interference of work in family – which concerning family solidarity policies in the world, is one of the most important issues in family field- with special attention to Erikson psychosocial stages and its relation to educational level.

Statistical community of the current research involves the whole employees of District 2 of gas transition stations of Isfahan (613 persons), out of which 150 persons were selected via stratified random sampling method. Finally 124 employees completed work-family questionnaire (return rate=83 percent).

Findings indicate that with the increase of age (according to Erikson psychosocial developmental stages) the employees felt less intrusion of work spillover in their family life. Also, findings revealed that by with the increase educational level the conflict between work and family intensified.

The negative correlation of developmental stages and perceived work-family interference can be explained by personnel’s needs and their accessible resources to satisfy these needs in different psychosocial stages. Also, the positive relation of educational level and perceived work-family interference is perhaps due to increased awareness of family responsibilities or increase of job responsibilities. The conflict between work and family can be resolved by effective management of the needs of different developmental stages and by special programs for highly educated persons. The current research provides concrete justification for this issue.

Aim and This research was carried out to detect the direct and indirect effects of positive and negative aspects of self-esteem (self-value and self-devaluation) through job burnout on mental health. The statistical population consisted of all women teachers in Shadegan province, from among which one hundred and twenty subjects were selected via stratified random method. The three measures of Rosenberg self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1966), job burnout (Maslach (1981) and general health questionnaire (Goldberg and Hiller, 1979) were used for data collection. Structural equation modelling was applied to explore the relationship between positive and negative aspects of self-esteem as two independents variables, the three aspects of job burnout as a latent mediator, and mental health as dependent variable. The structural analysis of the model showed a full mediating linkage of job burnout between independent and dependent Variable. It meant that there was no significant direct effect between self-esteem and mental health. Passing the most impression of self-esteem on mental health through job burnout was the most important finding of this research. There is some important implication about how negative self-esteem affects mental health through latent structure of burnout that would be paid attention in the paper.
