The aim of this study was to create checklists for discovering, designing, and developing activities and games related to visual art and music talent in children aged 4-6 years, based on Piirto's Talent Development Pyramid. This research is qualitative in nature, and the method used for analysis was thematic analysis as described by Braun and Clarke (2006). After reviewing the literature and extracting codes and analyzing them for each area of visual art and music talent in children, two themes were selected: discovery and development of talent. The themes related to visual art talent development in children included 35 main themes and 96 sub-themes, while those related to music talent development included 20 main themes and 68 sub-themes. The development of visual art and music talent, based on Piirto's Talent Development Pyramid, in preschool children, provides practical components and necessary validity for the discovery of tools, games, and activities aimed at nurturing children's talents. Utilizing Piirto's Talent Development Pyramid to discover and foster children's visual art and music talents not only helps in identifying and developing specific abilities but also promotes the overall growth of their social skills, creativity, and self-confidence. This process aids children in entering the world of art and music naturally and with enjoyment, laying the foundation for their talent development in later stages of life. Therefore, it is recommended that this package be used by parents and educators in training centers to identify and nurture children's visual art talents.

Risky behaviors are a common challenges faced with adolescence and can have significant impacts on their physical and mental health. The aim of the this study was to examine a causal model of the tendency towards risky behaviors in adolescents based on the bright dimensions of personality, considering the mediating effect of distress tolerance as well as the moderating influence of perceived authoritative parenting style.

This study was conducted with a fundamental objective and a descriptive-correlational method. The statistical population of this study consisted of all adolescents aged 16-20 years in Isfahan City, from which a total of 474 individuals were selected through a staged sampling method. Data was collected using Buri's (1991) Parenting Authority Scale, Simon and Qaher’s (2005) Distress Tolerance Scale, Kaufman’s (2019) Bright Personality Triad Scale and Alizadeh’s (2008) Iranian Adolescent Risk-Taking Scale. For data analysis, methods of structural equation modeling were employed using SPSS AMOS-26 software at a significance level of 0.05.

In this study, 293 girls (61.8%) and 181 boys (38.2%) participated, with a mean age of 18.6 years. The direct path coefficients showed that the bright dimensions of personality had a significant negative impact on distress tolerance, and that distress tolerance had a negative and significant effect on risky behaviors (P<0.05, r=-0.226). Additionally, the bright dimensions of personality had a significant negative effect on risky behaviors. The indirect effect of bright dimensions of personality on risky behaviors through distress tolerance was found to be positive and also it was significant for individuals with different scores on authoritative parenting style (P<0.05, r=-0.286).

The authoritative parenting style can be an effective moderator in the connection between bright dimensions of personality and risky behaviors in adolescents. Furthermore, distress tolerance plays a significant role in mediating the reduction of risky behaviors. Hence, it is recommended that educational and supportive programs be developed for adolescents in order to improve their distress tolerance skills. This will ultimately lead to better mental health and a decrease in risky behaviors.

Injurious mood disorder is a type of mood disorder that causes serious psychological and physical harm to children and their parents, which requires intervention and attention. Therefore, the research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of filial therapy and attachment-based play therapy on parenting exhaustion of mothers with children with symptoms of destructive mood disorder.

It was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and follow-up with the control group. A number of 45 mothers with children with symptoms of self-inflicted mood disorder were selected from the counseling centers of Isfahan city by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The experimental group received one filial-therapy intervention and the experimental group received two attachment-oriented game therapy, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The research tools included the questionnaire of destructive mood disorder and parenting burnout. The data were analyzed through analysis of variance with repeated measurements.

The results showed that both filial-therapy and attachment-based play therapy interventions on the dimensions of mothers' parenting burnout in the post-test and follow-up stage had a significant difference with the control group (P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the intervention of philiatherapy and attachment attachment in the post-test and follow-up stages on the dimensions of parenting burnout (P<0.001).

filial therapy and attachment-based play therapy interventions can reduce parenting burnout in mothers with children with symptoms of abusive mood disorder

The purpose of this research was to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based psychotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological well-being and perceived tension of patients diagnosed with Corona anxiety pandemic. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, control group and three-month follow-up period. The study's statistical population comprised individuals referred to telephone counseling centers in the city of Isfahan in 2021 due to Corona anxiety. An intentional and random selection process was employed to allocate 33 individuals (19 women and 14 men) into the experimental and control groups. Over the course of two months, individuals in the experimental group were engaged in mindfulness-based psychotherapy. The applied questionnaires included Perceived Stress Scale (PSS(, Psychological Wellbeing Questionnaire (PWBQ) and the Corona Anxiety Questionnaire (CDAS). The data were analyzed through mixed ANOVA method via SPSS-23 software. The results showed that mindfulness-based psychotherapy has been effective on the perceived stress (F=44.99; Eta=0.59; P<0001) and psychological wellbeing (F=66.28; Eta=0.68; P<0001) in the patients with Corona anxiety. According to the findings of the present study, mindfulness-based psychotherapy can be applied as an effective method to decrease perceived stress and improve psychological wellbeing in the patients with Corona anxiety through employing techniques such as mindful attitude, mindful activities, addressing problem-making feelings and emotions and breathing exercises.

The family can be considered as an emotional unit and a network of intertwined relationships that is built from the marital bond of a man and a woman, and a person's satisfaction with married life is considered as his satisfaction with the family. One of the threats to growth and development in married life of couples is incompatibility and (marital burnout) in married life. Nowadays, the prevalence of marital burnout among couples is increasing and many couples do not want to stay in failed marriages. 50% of couples face marital burnout. The relationships of many couples lack the intimacy that characterizes a good marriage, and one of the most important reasons is marital burnout. Divorce may be rooted in marital burnout; marital burnout is a state of physical exhaustion and emotional and mental exhaustion that is the result of long-term mental and emotional conflicts. The onset of boredom rarely happens suddenly and usually its process is gradual. In fact, the intimacy and love gradually fade and along with it comes the feeling of general fatigue.
 
The research method was descriptive correlation. The statistical population of the study included all married people (men and women) with marital problems who referred to family counseling centers in Tehran in 2019. Among them, 300 people (150 women and 150 men) were selected as the research sample using available sampling method. Pines' (1996) marital dissatisfaction questionnaires, Bam's (1974) gender stereotypes, and Pollard et al.'s (1998) marital forgiveness questionnaires were used to collect data. Pearson correlation tests and structural equation analysis were used to analyze the data.
 
The results of the research showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between gender stereotypes and marital discord, and there was a negative and significant relationship between marital forgiveness and marital discord and gender stereotypes and marital forgiveness (p<0.01). Also, gender stereotypes through marital forgiveness, it had an indirect effect on marital burnout. Results showed that there is a relationship between marital forgiveness and marital burnout; this means that with the increase of marital forgiveness, marital burnout decreases.
 
In general, the assumed model of the research had a good fit; therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the role of variables of gender stereotypes and marital forgiveness in the construction of educational and counseling packages to reduce the marital forgiveness of couples. In general, according to the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the final model has a good fit. And marital forgiveness played a mediating role in the relationship between marital forgiveness and gender stereotypes. Therefore, the findings of the model provide researchers with more information to manipulate the dependent variable and help researchers design an experimental study to reduce marital burnout in couples with marital conflicts. Also, according to the religious and spiritual context of Iranian society, activating spiritual capitals such as forgiveness has significant effects in reducing marital burnout and increasing marital forgiveness.

In this report, mixed matrix membranes which are supported by polyethersulfone and sulfonated polyethersulfone prepared for dehydration of isopropanol. The prepared membranes are composed of a porous sublayer from polyethersulfone/sulfonated polyethersulfone and a composite top layer of poly(vinyl alcohol) and titanate nanotubes. In fact, hydrothermally-synthesized titanate nanotubes are dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol). Moreover, the sulfonated polyethersulfone are used to investigate the effects of the porous sublayer on mass transport and the separation performance of the membranes. Next, the ability of the prepared membranes were studied for pervaporation separation of 90 wt% aqueous isopropanol mixture at 50 . The obtained results indicate that the thickness and chemical properties of the support have had a significant influence on pervaporation results. Totally, decreasing the difference between hydrophilicity of top layer and support has resulted in formation of an ideal interface between the layers. Furthermore, the presence of sulfone groups in interface, formation of hydrogen bounds among hydroxyl groups of poly(vinyl alcohol) and sulfone groups of the sublayer are responsible for enhanced compatibility between the layers. As a result, selective separation of water through the membranes was obtained. In addition, the results indicated that the support led to existence of an additional mass transport in isopropanol dehydration as well as requiring the physical support for the resultant membranes. The obtained results showed that when 4 wt% titanate nanotubes were dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol) which was supported by sulfonated polyethersulfone the flux and separation factor were about  0.29 kg/m2 h and 4828, respectively.

 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different teaching methods on the academic achievement of accounting students in order to determine the most effective teaching method experimentally and thus can improve academic achievement among accounting students. In this regard, using the traditional approach as well as new educational approaches, including the big data approach and comparing them with each other, their effect on students' academic achievement was examined. The population of this study includes all accounting students who were studying at the undergraduate level of Islamic Azad University, Shiraz in the academic year 1399-1398 and the study sample includes 247 students. In this research, using laboratory method and pre-test-post-test design, two experimental groups with traditional approaches and big data participated in Advanced Accounting 2, Cost Accounting 2 and Auditing 1. For each lesson, a group was considered as a control group. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling, Mann-Whitney nonparametric test and hierarchical regression. Findings showed that both big data teaching methods and traditional teaching methods have a significant positive effect on students' academic achievement. Also, the research findings showed that the effect of big data method education on the academic achievement of accounting students is more than traditional method education. The research results emphasize the need for big data method education in the accounting education program at the undergraduate level to increase students' knowledge. Findings also showed that the effect of traditional education and big data on academic achievement of accounting students in advanced Accounting 2, Cost Accounting 2 and Auditing 1, by controlling the variables of gender and grade point average of students has been positive and increased.

The increase in type 2 diabetes has been attributed to factors such as lifestyle changes such as less healthy diets and physical inactivity. Therefore, an unhealthy lifestyle is a dangerous factor for type 2 diabetes (5). Lifestyle is an important issue in controlling blood sugar to control type 1 and type 2 diabetes (6).Another treatment method is cognitive-behavioral therapy. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, disproportionate thoughts and thinking about the lack of effective coping strategies with the disease are intervened; This approach is based on cooperation between the patient and the therapist, the duration of the treatment is short, and it tries to develop self-help skills in clients (10). This approach, relying on inductive methods, teaches the patient to look at thoughts and beliefs as hypotheses whose validity has not been confirmed, and through homework, he practices the required skills with the individual (11). It has also been shown that one of the components that has a great impact on physical health and chronic diseases are primary incompatible schemas, whose improvement is the primary goal of treatment in schema therapy (9). Schema therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses theory and other techniques and integrates them into a systematic treatment model (11). Considering the above contents and the negative impact of diabetes on individual and social life on the one hand, the importance of discovering the best method to minimize the negative effects of diabetes on the other hand and considering the efficiency of both treatments and since in the previous studies which has shown that there is no schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy on increasing lifestyle and reducing blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients, in order to solve this research gap, the question is answered whether there is a difference between the effectiveness of schema therapy and treatment Is there a cognitive-behavioral difference between increasing lifestyle and reducing blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients?

In order to conduct this semi-experimental research that was conducted with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group, among the people with type 2 diabetes in the first six months of 2019 in Kish Island who had referred to the Diabetes Association of Kish Island in order to control their symptoms and treat their disease. (293 people) 42 people were selected as available and randomly divided into three schema therapy groups: 14 people, 13 people for the cognitive-behavioral group, 15 people for the control group. Miller and Smith (2006) completed the questionnaire, which includes 20 questions and is on a 5-point Likert scale (always 1 point, often 2 points, sometimes 3 points, rarely 4 points and never 5). Then the people of the experimental group in the schema therapy group underwent 8 sessions of schema therapy by Yang and Klosko Vishar (2003) and the experimental group of cognitive-behavioral therapy underwent 8 sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy by Li He (2007) in Skyroom software, 24 hours After the last intervention session, all the subjects completed the questionnaire again and performed the blood sugar test. Finally, descriptive statistics (tables, graphs, central and dispersion indices) and multiple covariance analysis (MANCOVA) and Benferoni post hoc tests were used using SPSS-24 software for statistical analysis of data. became.

The results showed that the difference in lifestyle (F = 6.16) and blood sugar (F = 5.11) between the experimental group and the control group is significant after removing the pre-test effects. The eta square (effect size) indicates that 26% of the differences in lifestyle and 22% of the differences in blood sugar in the post-test were related to the difference between the two groups and for the independent variable (cognitive behavioral therapy and schema therapy). Therefore, it can be said that schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy have a significant effect on lifestyle and blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. As Table No. 4 shows, there is a significant difference between the cognitive behavioral therapy and schema therapy groups with the control group in the post-test phase (p<0.01) in the variables of lifestyle and blood sugar. It was also found that there is no significant difference between any of the lifestyle variables and blood sugar in the experimental groups of cognitive behavioral therapy and schema therapy (P<0.05). Therefore, it can be said that both cognitive behavioral therapy and schema therapy had a significant effect on the variables of self-management, lifestyle, self-compassion and blood sugar of patients with type 2 diabetes, but no significant difference was observed in their effectiveness.

The results of the data analysis showed that the difference in the mean scores of the subjects' group in lifestyle and blood sugar between the experimental group and the control group is significant after removing the pre-test effects. In explaining the impact of cognitive-behavioral therapy on the lifestyle of patients with type 2 diabetes, it should be stated that cognitive-behavioral therapy helps patients to overcome their problems in treatment sessions by implementing the role of reinforcement and feedback and providing appropriate exercises; This increases their self-efficacy. In this therapeutic intervention, because the patients organize their absolute beliefs, rumination of thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes (shoulds and compulsions) about situations and conditions are reduced, and this leads to an increase in the improvement of people's reactions to respond to threats. Physical-psychological, concentration disorder and low motivation of patients will be (18).In explaining the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and the cognitive content of therapy sessions and the perceptual change of patients, the lifestyle of patients changes; Because in this treatment, by learning new methods and strategies to deal with stress, patients under cognitive behavioral therapy can better use problem solving skills for their behaviors. On the other hand, it can be said that the stress caused by suffering from a chronic and permanent disease such as diabetes causes many behavioral and psychological complications for the patient and his family; which causes a wave of unhealthy behaviors and unhealthy lifestyle in these people (19).Regarding the effectiveness of schema therapy on the lifestyle of patients with diabetes, it should be stated that the researchers came to the conclusion that incompatible schemas are related to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles. The presence of earlymaladaptive schemas may differentiate between individuals who have a healthy lifestyle and those who do not. The existence of negative and pessimistic views towards life that arise through initial incompatible schemas, all of them cause negative emotions and the emergence of unhealthy behaviors in life, the first result of which is damage to the person and finally not using Lifestyles become healthy.

Nowadays, cosmetic surgeries are one of the most common surgeries all over the world, and the number of applicants of such surgeries is increasingly growing (1). Most of the researchers agree that the main factors involved in the tendency to cosmetic surgeries include the problems related to body image and low life satisfaction and self-esteem. These factors suggest the important role of the psychological factors in the individuals’ tendency to cosmetic surgeries (3). Explaining the theories related to emotion regulation strategies, Aldao et al. suggested that emotion regulation dysfunctions can cause significant psychological outcomes (4). In general, interpersonal emotion regulation and applying that in human relationships can be useful for self-awareness and awareness of the others’ emotions, restraint, communicating with the other people, and positive use of the emotions in thinking and cognition (5). According to the results of a study, there is a significant relationship between the nose job applicants and the control group members in terms of emotion regulation; so that the nose job applicants got lower scores of emotion regulation (6). Also, another study suggested that emotional instability, a poor body image and tendency to cosmetic surgery can be predicted by emotional distress and emotional instability (7). Perceived social support has positive effects on mental health. Social support is a way of categorizing the social rewards under special conditions. Social support is defined as the companionship and attention received from the family members, friends, and other people (8). According to studies, people with a poor body image are usually introverted and they report the significant symptoms of social anxiety (9). However, social support is an important variable affecting the intensity of the body image symptoms (10). Ata et al. reported that emotional support of the family members can be a protection against the impacts of the media and friends. Finally, the perceived support of the friends can intensify the negative body image (11). It is normal to use the cosmetic surgeries to improve the physical problems (12). However, excessive cosmetic surgeries indicate a negative behavior. The demand for cosmetic surgeries has been increasingly growing in recent years, and such surgeries can cause severe physical and financial consequences that are irreparable in most cases. So, it is necessary to investigate the individual and social dimensions of this phenomenon in terms of psychological issues. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between interpersonal emotion regulation and social support with the tendency to cosmetic surgery.

The present research is a descriptive correlation research. The population includes all the applicants of cosmetic surgery referring to the Khane Sefid, Erfan, and Dr. Nilforoushzadeh Clinics of Tehran from June 21th, 2020 until July 22th, 2020. According to the statistics of the applicants in the past year, it was found that the average number of applicants referring to the mentioned clinics is about 780 to 900 people. In order to increase the generalizability of the results, the average population was considered as 900 cases per month. Based on the Krejcie-Morgan table (13), the minimum sample size to represent the population was determined as 269 people. However, the sample size was considered 360 people to decrease the sample decline. So, 120 people were selected from each of the mentioned clinics. Data collection was done by three standard questionnaires, including Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale. Meanwhile, a general checklist including the demographic information (age, gender, marriage duration, the number of children, employment status, education level, the monthly income, and the record of cosmetic surgery) was distributed among the subjects. Data analysis was done by Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise linear regression in SPSS-19 software.

In this research, 360 questionnaires were distributed among the subjects. However, 322 complete questionnaires were collected. The participation rate was estimated as 98.44%. The average age of the participants was 20-60 years with the mean (standard deviation) of 37.80 (9.27). According to the results of Pearson test, there was a significant negative correlation between cosmetic surgery and interpersonal emotion regulation (r= -0.304) and perceived social support (r= -0.338) (P˂0.05). According to the regression analysis, perceived social support could explain 0.11 of the variance of cosmetic surgery tendency. Meanwhile, with the inclusion of the interpersonal emotion regulation in the equation, the multiple correlation coefficient was increased to 0.16. According to the findings, perceived social support and interpersonal emotion regulation had a negative correlation with cosmetic surgery tendency with the respective coefficients of -0.28 and -0.23. Based on the results of t-test and its significance level, the obtained coefficients are significant. According to the β values of the mentioned variables, in the case of constant conditions for the remaining variables, a unit increase of the mentioned variables can lead to the increase of the cosmetic surgery tendency score by -0.28 and -0.23. In other words, perceived social support and interpersonal emotion regulation are effective in the tendency to cosmetic surgery.

It was found that the perceived social support and interpersonal emotion regulation respectively have the strongest effects on the tendency to cosmetic surgery. The findings about the role of perceived social support are consistent with the results reported by Ata et al. (11), Ahmadi et al. (14), and Kabudi et al. (15). To explain this finding, it can be stated that the social support received from the key individuals is important in two aspects: first, the role of the social support and second, the presence of the support resources. The encouragement received from the other people, especially the key individuals is one of the resources of positive self-concept. So, the presence of these persons and their social support can provide an encouragement resource and decrease the tendency to cosmetic surgery (14). The findings about the role of interpersonal emotion regulation are consistent with the results reported by Eisazadegan et al. (6), Sorlie and Javo (7), and Shirmohammadi et al. (16). This finding can be explained by the fact that a person with developed emotion management ability can experience the emotions or inhibit them without any internal or external force. Cosmetic surgeries are more common among the individuals affected by personality disorders such as dependent personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. These types of personality are affected by emotion regulation dysfunction. So, it can be concluded that lack of emotion management ability can lead to the tendency to cosmetic surgery (6). Finally, it was found that the tendency to cosmetic surgery can be predicted by interpersonal emotion regulation and social support. Therefore, it is suggested for the psychologists to focus on the role of the two mentioned variables to decrease the tendency to cosmetic surgery. The last suggestion is to provide emotion regulation training for the individuals and improve their social support to decrease their tendency to cosmetic surgery.

Depression and blood pressure are the common disorders in the elderly and are effective in beginning and intensifying each other, so that mental disorders are the fourth main cause of death in the world. The aim of this study was to determine the structural model of the relationship between depression and blood pressure with the mediation of nutritional habits in the elderly.

This research was a descriptive study based on structural equation modeling (SEM). The research population included all the elderly people who referred to the health center of Falavarjan City, Iran, in 2019-2020, and 360 of them were selected by convenience sampling. Research tools included nutritional habits questionnaire, elderly depression questionnaire, and the Integrated Health System (SIB). Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics tests in AMOS and SPSS software.

According to the regression coefficient of -0.266 and the critical value of -3.57 and P = 0.051, the variable of nutritional habits can play the role of a mediating variable between the predictor variable of depression and the criterion variable of blood pressure and can explain it. In fact, the model had the ability to predict and fit.

According to the results of this research based on the relationship between depression, blood pressure, and nutritional habits in the elderly, simultaneous attention to somatic and psychological problems is necessary. Therefore, planning to diagnose and treat depression and its factors on time can be effective in improving health in the elderly, especially improving their mental health.

The present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of philial therapy on social acceptability and anxiety sensitivity of children with symptoms of self-destructive mood disorder.

It was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a follow-up period. The statistical population included 9-12-year-old children with symptoms of suicidal mood disorder in Isfahan city. 30 children with symptoms of self-inflicted mood disorder and their mothers were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Filial Landreth play therapy intervention (2013) during two months in 8 sessions of 60 minutes. Research tools included Ford and Robin's (1970) social acceptability questionnaire and Tsao et al.'s (2006) anxiety sensitivity questionnaire. The data obtained from the research was analyzed by the method of variance analysis with repeated measurements using SPSS-29 statistical software.

The results showed that the filial therapy intervention had a significant effect on the social acceptability and anxiety sensitivity of children with symptoms of self-destructive mood disorder (P<0.001). In this way, this intervention was able to lead to the improvement of social acceptability and the reduction of anxiety sensitivity of these children.

Based on the findings, it can be concluded that philial therapy using techniques such as lectures, discussion, role playing, group processes and supervision can be an effective treatment to improve social acceptability and reduce anxiety sensitivity of children with the symptoms of self-inflicted mood disorder should be used.

The purpose of the present study was to structurally model risky behavior according to cerebral-behavioral systems and the dark triad of personality with the teaching of control thinking skills in secondary high school students. The research was applied and the research method was correlational through structural equation modeling and the research population consisted of all high school students in Shahin Shahr in the academic year 2020-2021, of which 505 individuals (262 boys and 243 girls) were selected through the available sampling method. The research instruments included Brain Behavioral Systems Questionnaire (BBSQ), High Risk Behaviors Questionnaire (HRBQ), Dark Trail of Personality Questionnaire (DTPQ) and Control Thought Ability Questionnaire (CTAQ). Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling via SPSS and Amos-23. The results showed that the scores of behavioral activation and inhibition systems, the dark triad of personality (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and antisocialism) had a significant direct influence on students’ ability to control their thoughts and risky behaviors (p <0.001). moreover, the results showed that mind control ability not only has a direct effect on students’ high-risk behaviors, but also plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between brain-behavior systems and the dark triad of personality and risk behaviors of high school students. Given the significant mediating role of mind control skills, it is suggested that by influencing the cerebral-behavioral systems and the dark aspects of behavior through the teaching of mind control techniques, we can attempt to reduce the occurrence of risk behaviors.

The present research was carried out aiming at assessing the mediating role of couple forgiveness in the relationship between marital attributions and marital burnout. The research was conducted by the descriptive-correlation method. The statistical population of the study included all married people (men and women) with marital problems referring to family counseling centers in Tehran (Iran) in 2020, 300 of whom (150 women and 150 men) were chosen by convenience method as the research sample. Pines’ (1996) couple burnout measure (CBM-Q) questionnaire, Fincham and Bradbury’s (1992) relationship attribution measure (RAQ) questionnaire, and Pollard et al.’s (1998) family forgiveness scale (FFS) were employed to collect data. The Structural Equation Modeling test was used to analyze data. The research findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between gender stereotypes and couple burnout, and a negative and significant relationship between couple burnout, couple attributes, and couple forgiveness (p<0.01). Moreover, couple attributes played an indirect role in couple burnout through couple forgiveness (p<0.01). Generally, the research’s assumed model had a good fit. Given the research results, it can be claimed that couple forgiveness plays a mediating role in the relationship between couple burnout and couple attributes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy training on personal values of obese women in Tehran in 1399. The research method is quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design with control and follow-up groups. The statistical population of the study consisted of all obese women referred to the nutrition and diet therapy clinic in Tehran, from which 40 people were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly in an experimental group (20 people in each group) and one The control group (20 people) was assigned. The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of 60 minutes and the control group remained on the waiting list. The instruments used in the present study included the Personal Values Questionnaire (Schwartz, 2004). Analysis of information obtained from the questionnaire was performed in two parts: descriptive and inferential (analysis of variance with repeated measures). The results showed that schema therapy training has an effect on the components of personal values (power value, progress, hedonism, provocation, self-direction, universality, benevolence, tradition, compliance and security) of obese women (P <0.05). The results showed the effectiveness of schema therapy training on personal values in obese women. Therefore, therapists can use this method to promote mental health in women with obesity.

The purpose of the present study was the structural modeling of risky behaviors according to cerebral-behavioral systems and the dark triad of personality with the mediation of emotional creativity in secondary high school students. The research method was correlational through structural equation modeling and the research population was composed of all secondary high school students in Shahin Shahr in academic year 2020-21 from whom 550 students who had participated voluntarily were selected through available sampling method and they were asked to answer the items of the questionnaires. 505 of the answer sheets were then returned completely. The research instruments included cerebral-behavioral questionnaires (Carver and White, 1994), risky behaviors, dark personality and emotional creativity (Averill, 1999). The data analysis was conducted through Pearson correlation methods and structural equation modeling via SPSS and Amos software versions 23. The results showed that the results of behavioral activation and inhibition systems, dark triad of personality (narcissism, Machiavellianism and anti-socialism) had a significant direct effect on students' emotional creativity and high-risk behaviors (p<0.001). in addition the results also showed that the emotional creativity, to having a direct effect on students' high-risk behaviors, also has a significant mediating role in the relationship between brain-behavioral systems and dark triad of personality with high-risk behaviors in high school students. Considering the significant mediation role of emotional creativity, it is suggested to try to decrease the emergence of risky behaviors through influencing cerebral-behavioral systems and dark aspects of behavior via teaching emotion regulation skills and emotional creativity.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of interventions based on spark-perceptual-motor exercises, neurofeedback and mindfulness on sensory integration. This study was a quasi-experimental study. It was performed using pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with the control group. The present study population consisted of all children in the second grade of elementary school with ADHD in Isfahan. A total of 60 people were purposefully selected based on entry and exit criteria and after matching based on gender, amount and type of drug were divided into four groups of 15: mindfulness, perceptual-motor training, neurofeedback and control group. Hanschu and Risman (1992) questionnaire were used to measure sensory integrity. For data analysis, repeated measures analysis of variance was used using SPSS-24 software at a significance level of less than five percent. Findings showed that there was a significant difference in sensory integration of neurofeedback and spark treatment compared to the control group (p <0.01) but this difference was not observed in the mindfulness group (p <0.05). The results also showed that in the treatment of mindfulness, pre-test scores were not significantly different from post-test (p <0.05), but post-test scores and follow-up of neurofeedback and spark treatment groups were significantly different from pre-test scores (p <0.05).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of parent-child play therapy on improving reading performance in children aged 8 to 10 years with learning disabilities. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental and its design was pretest-posttest and control groups. The statistical population of the study included the parents of 8 to 10 year old students who referred to specialized pediatric clinics (Tohid Counseling Center) in Isfahan in 1400. according to the inclusion criteria, 28 people were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (14 people) and control (14 people). The experimental group underwent parent-child play therapy in 10 sessions of 90 minutes once a week, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The research tools were a reading performance questionnaire (Karami Nouri and Moradi, 2005 ). Research data were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results of the analysis showed that parent-child play therapy improves reading performance in students with learning disabilities (p <0.005).

Metabolic disorders and depression are common problems in old age that can affect the onset and exacerbation of each other. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of body mass index in the relationship between metabolic diseases (diabetes and hyperlipidemia) and depression in the elderly.

The research method was descriptive and structural equation modeling. The study population comprised of all the elderly who were referred to Falavarjan health center in 2019-2020. On total, 360 old aged individuals were selected by simple random sampling using their electronic records. The research tools included body mass questionnaire, elderly depression questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha) and apple system (integrated health system).

The results showed that there was a correlation between depression in the elderly and diabetes index, Body mass index (BMI), and blood cholesterol 0.81, 0.59, and 0.36 respectively, depicting a significant relationship. Also, body mass variable can play the role of mediating variable between depression and metabolic diseases. The explained model also had a good fit.

According to the research findings, metabolic diseases are directly and indirectly related to depression in the elderly through body mass, so in programs related to lifestyle modification and improving the health of the elelderly, interventions for physical and psychological factors should be considered as well.

Distress tolerance is an important psychological phenomenon which affects self-regulation processes including cognitive appraisal of emotional or physical states. Given that individuals with tension-type headaches are most likely to have low levels of distress tolerance, the evaluation of this variable is, therefore, very essential as the initial step of treatment in this population. The present research aimed at evaluating the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) in women suffering from tension-type headaches in Isfahan.

The research method was a cross-sectional validation study of 110 women with tension-type headaches in Isfahan in 2019. The research population was selected through purposful sampling method. In order to analyze the psychometric properties of DTS, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, convergent validity, and confirmatory factor analysis were used.

The results showed that the overall Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability values for DTS were 0.96 and 090, respectively. The convergent validity was obtained as 0.590, suggesting a reasonably good convergent validity for DTS. Furthermore, the one-factor structure of DTS was supported by confirmatory factor analysis.

The findings revealed acceptable validity and reliability of DTS. Thus, DTS can be used as a research and clinical tool among women with tension-type headaches.
