The aim of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of person fit statistics based on the Rasch model in identifying acquiescence response styles. To this end, the acquiescence response style was simulated in four different scenarios, including sample size, test length, the percentage of aberrant items, and the percentage of respondents with aberrant response patterns, with 25 repetitions. The findings of the study indicated that the statistics Up and Wp performed better in identifying the acquiescence response style in polytomous data compared to the statistics lp and lzp. However, the accuracy of these statistics decreases as the percentage of respondents with aberrant response patterns increases. Conversely, the lzp and lp statistics were unable to identify this response style in any scenario. Additionally, the examination of the factors affecting the accuracy of person fit statistics revealed that, in general, the accuracy of Up and Wp statistics increases with an increase in sample size, the number of questions, and the percentage of aberrant items. Therefore, in conditions where the likelihood of acquiescence response style exists, researchers can utilize Wp and Up statistics by considering the sample size and questionnaire length. However, given that these statistics fail to identify the acquiescence response style as the percentage of respondents with aberrant response patterns increases, it is recommended to examine the accuracy of other person fit statistics in identifying acquiescence response styles in polytomous data.

In recent decades, many protocols have been introduced under the cognitive-behavioral approach. Most of these protocols have paid more attention to emotion while maintaining the main assumptions of the cognitive approach. But none of them were based on a strong emotional model. The present study was conducted with the aim of developing and validating the cognitive behavioral therapy protocol based on the SPAARS model.

The present study was descriptive and the protocol was developed based on theoretical foundations and research evidence based on emotional SPAARS model. Protocol has been developed in 12 sessions and its validity evaluated by ten specialists. Data were analyzed by using Impact Score, Content Validity Index (CVI), and Content Validity Ratio (CVR).

The findings showed that the impact score of the sessions was higher than 1.5 and the minimum content validity index and content validity ratio were each 0.8, which is higher than the minimum acceptable level at the significance level of 0.05.

The face and content validity of the emotion-focused cognitive behavioral protocol based on SPAARS model has been confirmed by specialists’ evaluation. According to the results of the current study, this protocol can be used for individuals with emotional disorders.

In Iran, marriages between Iranian women and Afghan immigrant men are on the rise; however, there is limited information available regarding domestic violence against Iranian women with Afghan immigrant spouses. Domestic violence is a serious social and public health issue that requires a precise understanding of the influential factors in this context.

This study aimed to identify the factors influencing domestic violence against Iranian women with Afghan immigrant spouses. This study could contribute to improving policies and prevention programs aimed at addressing domestic violence in these communities.

The present study utilized a descriptive phenomenological approach. The target population consisted of all Iranian women who were victims of domestic violence with Afghan immigrant spouses residing in Tehran province. The sampling method was a snowball technique, ultimately resulting in interviews conducted with 14 participants. Data collection utilized semi-structured, in-depth interviews, and the collected data were analyzed using a seven-step Colaizzi method.

The results indicated that factors such as personal characteristics of women (such as age, education, and economic status), characteristics of Afghan spouses (economic, cultural, and social), and family and social factors (such as cultural pressures and societal attitudes) play a role in increasing domestic violence against Iranian women with Afghan immigrant spouses.

Given the findings of this study, it appears that a precise understanding of the factors influencing domestic violence in this community is crucial. This study can aid in formulating policies and prevention programs against domestic violence towards Iranian women with Afghan spouses, leading to improvements in their social and health-related conditions

The aim of the present research was to investigate the phenomenological study of elderly individuals' lived experiences of the empty nest phenomenon and its coping components. Purposeful sampling was employed until data saturation was achieved, resulting in the selection of 17 participants, including 11 females and 6 males. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi's method. The research findings in the domain of lived experiences consisted of four main themes: "Existential Crisis," "Emotional Turmoil," "Interpersonal Disruption," and "Positive Experiences." Additionally, coping components with the empty nest phenomenon included "Awareness and Willingness for Adaptation," "Purposeful Growth Experience," "Escape and Empathy," and "Strengthening Connection with Existential Source." In the domain of lived experiences, the theme of "Existential Crisis" encompassed four subthemes: "Sense of Void," "Fear of Death," "Confronting Existential Anxiety," and "Confronting Loneliness." The theme of "Emotional Turmoil" comprised four subthemes: "Experience of Contradictory Emotions," "Reactive Depressive Experience," and "Diminished Pleasure in Life." The theme of "Interpersonal Disruption" included three subthemes: "Lack of Mutual Understanding in Marriage," "Experience of Marital Conflicts," and "Social Withdrawal." The theme of "Positive Experiences" covered the subthemes: "Increased Leisure Time and Autonomy" and "Improved Relationship with Spouse." Moreover, in the coping components domain, the theme of "Awareness and Willingness for Adaptation" included "Self-Reflection and Self-Reliance," the theme of "Purposeful Growth Experience" encompassed "Engagement in Intellectual and Occupational Activities," "Recontextualization," and "Increased Resilience and Endurance." The theme of "Escape and Empathy" included "Focusing on Offspring's Happiness and Satisfaction," "Assisting Similar Individuals," and "Grandparenting." The theme of "Strengthening Connection with Existential Source" comprised "Gratitude and Trust," "Enhancing Spiritual Connection," and "Engagement in Religious Activities." Psychological experiences of facing the empty nest revealed contradictory emotions and reactions. Elderly individuals experience both positive and negative aspects during this phase, utilizing both intrapersonal and interpersonal dimensions for coping with the empty nest. Therefore, it is suggested that the findings of this research be utilized in planning, preventive actions, and interventions for elderly individuals experiencing the empty nest syndrome.

The aim of this research was to teach the Quranic parenting model to mothers and examine its impact on the mental health of primary school students. This quasi-experimental study had a pretest-posttest control group design. The study population was comprised of all sixth-grade boys and girls in Qaem Shahr, along with their mothers, during the 2020-2021 academic year. The sample size was estimated to be 100 (50 girls and 50 boys) based on Cohen's table, selected through random cluster sampling and then randomly divided into experimental and control groups (50 each). Initially, both groups answered the Keyes Mental Health Questionnaire as a pretest. Then, the Quranic parenting model was taught to the mothers in the experimental group over 12 sessions of 90 minutes each. Afterward, both groups of students again completed the Keyes Mental Health Questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed using univariate covariance analysis with SPSS v.22 software. The findings showed that teaching the Quranic parenting model to mothers significantly improved the mental health of the students (P-value<0.001, F(1, 98)=83.331). Therefore, this educational method can be effectively used in the field of family and parenting to enhance the mental health of children.

The purpose of this study was to formulate and validate indivitual systemic psychotherapy and determine its effectiveness on ego depletion of depressed people. In the present study, a mixed method research of consecutive exploratory design was used, which was performed in two stages.In the first stage, after reviewing the literature and the concepts and therapies in the field of system theory, the treatment protocol was developed by qualitative content analysis and Stirling content analysis. Then 8 clinical psychologists determined the content validity of the protocol. In the second stage, to determine its effectiveness, a single-subject multiple baseline with different subjects and follow-up period was used. The statistical population included all people with depressive disorder who referred to a mental health center in Tehran in 1399. Using the available sampling method, 3 of these people were selected with the incoming and outgoing research criteria. The intervention was performed individually in 12 sessions of 60 minutes and after two months and three months, the subjects were followed up. Data were collected using semantic Stroop test. For data analysis, graphs and visual analysis of graphs were used. The results showed that the individual systemic psychotherapy protocol has an acceptable content validity. The results of the treatment intervention also showed that the symptoms of ego depletion were reduced in depressed people and this effect continued in the follow-up phase.

The purpose of this research is to design and validate a gamification program to improve sustainable behavior based on the community-based social marketing (CBSM) approach and to investigate its effectiveness on electricity consumption. First, the gamification program was designed to modify the electricity consumption behavior of household subscribers based on CBSM. According to the stage model of behavior change, behavior modification strategies were divided into four stages. Validation was done based on the opinions of ten experts. The second stage was a single-case study with an interrupted time series design. The statistical population consisted of household electricity subscribers in Tehran, and the sample included three families, selected in an available manner. Electricity consumption data were collected monthly. The baseline was from June 2016 to March 2021, the intervention from April 2021 to December 2021, and the follow-up from January 2022 to June 2023. The per capita electricity consumption of household electricity customers in Tehran during the same time periods was used as a control in the analysis. The effect size was calculated using the "mean baseline reduction" method. The overall analysis of time series data and the significance of changes were done using the interrupted time series analysis method and the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model in SPSS 26 software. CVR and CVI indices were above 0.9, indicating the validity of the program. The calculation of the effect size showed a decrease in the consumption of families one and two after the start of the intervention, with most of the decrease occurring in the follow-up phase. The continuation of lower consumption in the follow-up period indicated the relative persistence of new habits. Family three and household electricity subscribers in Tehran showed a slight increase in consumption. In the visual analysis, only in the time series of family 1 was a decreasing trend observed after the implementation of the intervention. All time series exhibited a pattern of seasonal changes. These seasonal changes were controlled with the ARIMA model and the data of Tehran electricity subscribers. Based on the interrupted time series analysis, only the decrease in consumption of family 1, which was a high-consumption household, was significant (P<0.05). This family reduced consumption by about 50%. It can be said that the program is valid. Further study of its effectiveness is recommended, considering the limitations of this research, especially in high-consumption households that are in the pre-operation stage.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between parental bonding and the impaired autonomy and performance domain of early maladaptive schemas, which are mediated by emotion regulation. The research method was fundamental in its purpose and utilized descriptive-correlation for data collection. The study's statistical population consisted of 316 students from Allameh Tabataba'i University and Shahid Beheshti University, aged 18 to 35, in Tehran during the academic year 2020-2021. The students were selected using the available sampling method. The research instruments employed were the Parker Parental Bonding Questionnaire (PBI), Young Schemas (YSQ-SF), and Emotion Regulation (ERQ). The data analysis was conducted using the structural equation method and SPSS and LISREL software. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between parental bonding and the impaired autonomy and performance domain of early maladaptive schemas. Expressive suppression, an inappropriate emotion regulation strategy, serves as a mediating factor in this relationship (Ps <0.05). In this relationship, cognitive reappraisal, which is an appropriate strategy for emotion regulation, did not serve as a mediator. The use of early maladaptive schemas in the autonomy and performance domain in adulthood is correlated with the feeble bond between mother and child, both directly and through the mediation of expressive suppression. This study’s findings underscore the significance of positive parenting in the prevention of the development of early maladaptive schemas and the implementation of appropriate emotion regulation strategies.

Research evidence indicates that several factors play a role in the academic adjustment of students, which due to the importance of parenting styles, psychological capital, quality of life and academic emotions, as well as the research gap in the field of providing a coherent model in this field, conducting more studies is necessary to It seems.
