Academic success and its associated outcomes have a significant impact on both the present and future lives of children. According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), parental interactions that satisfy children’s need for autonomy can predict both academic and non-academic behaviors. These interactions depend on the different types of parental motivation. However, the structural relationships between these types of parental motivation, academic success, and its outcomes—mediated by parental autonomy-supportive involvement—have yet to be thoroughly examined.

This study aimed to test a structural model of parental motivation and its consequences for student progress, with autonomous parental involvement serving as a mediator, based on Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory.

A correlational descriptive design using structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed. The statistical population included all fifth and sixth-grade students (2024-2025 academic year) in elementary schools in Semnan, Iran. Using random multistage sampling, 415 students were selected. Parent Motivation for Involvement (Grolnick, 2015), Autonomy Supportive versus controlling Involvement (Lerner et al., 2022), Autonomous Motivation (Ryan & Connell, 1989), Perceived Competence (Harter, 1982), School-Related Worry (Wiekhorst, 1973). Data were analyzed using SPSS-26 and LISREL-8.80.

Controlled parental motivation had a significant negative indirect effect on academic performance (β= -0.043), perceived competence (β= -0.074), school-related anxiety (β= 0.137), and autonomous motivation (β= -0.034) through reduced autonomy-supportive involvement. Controlled parental motivation also directly negatively predicted autonomy-supportive involvement (β= -0.131, p< 0.05). The direct effect of autonomous parental motivation on autonomy-supportive involvement was non-significant. Instead, parental autonomous motivation had a direct positive effect on school anxiety (0.5).

The results demonstrated that parents' controlled motivation, mediated by parental involvement in autonomy support, exerts a statistically significant structural effect on students' academic performance, perceived competence, school-related anxiety, and autonomous motivation. This structural model elucidates the complex relationships between parental motivation, autonomy-supportive involvement, and student outcomes, offering insights into fostering academic success.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the development of a structural model of internet game addiction based on impulsivity, with the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in adolescents in Tehran.

This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. The statistical population consisted of male students in Tehran during the academic year 2023-2024. A sample of 500 students was selected using random cluster sampling. The data collection instruments included the Internet Gaming Disorder Questionnaire (IGDQ) developed by Pontes et al. (2014), the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11) by Patton et al. (1995), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) by Garnefski and Kraaij (2006). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling.

The results indicated that both impulsivity and cognitive emotion regulation had a significant direct effect on internet game addiction. Additionally, the findings revealed that cognitive emotion regulation played a mediating role in the relationship between impulsivity and internet game addiction.

Based on the results of this research, it is recommended that the relationship between these variables be considered in interventions addressing internet game addiction among students. Overall, identifying the factors that influence the development of internet game addiction will enable psychologists and counselors to concentrate on these critical elements and organize their activities accordingly. This approach will ultimately lead to the provision of more effective services for vulnerable clients.

Internet gaming disorder is explained as continuous and frequent use of the Internet in the gaming context, leading to significant distress and dysfunction. The purpose of the present study was to investigate development of a structural model of internet game addiction based on behavioral inhibition system with mediation role of cognitive emotion regulation among adolescents in Tehran. This was descriptive-correlation research. The statistical population was male students in Tehran city in year academic 2023-2024. The sample size was based on of Klein (2023) and taking into account the possibility of some samples falling and in order to generalize the results, 500 people were selected using convenience sampling method (online method). The sample size was selected and with random cluster sampling of 500 students. Data collection tools include the internet gaming disorder questionnaire (IGDQ) of Pontes and et al (2014), behavioral inhibition system scale (BIS Scale) of Carver & White (1994) and cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ) of Garnefski and Kraaij (2006). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and structural equations modeling. The research results showed that behavioral inhibition system and maladaptive strategies of cognitive regulation of emotion has a significant positive relationship with internet game addiction andladaptive strategies of cognitive regulation of emotion has a significant negative relationship with with internet game addiction at the level of 0.01. The findings of the research showed that the behavioral inhibition system in a positive and meaningful way, maladaptive strategies of cognitive regulation of emotion in a positive and meaningful way, and adaptive strategies of cognitive regulation of emotion in a negative and meaningful way have a direct relationship with addiction to internet games. Also, the results showed that cognitive emotion regulation had a mediating role in relationship between behavioral inhibition systems with internet game addiction. Based on the results of this research, it is suggested that the relationship between these variables should be taken into consideration in interventions internet game addiction in students and attention to behavioral inhibition system and cognitive emotion regulation can play a significant role in reducing adolescent’s internet game addiction.

Education is the creation of conditions that lead to the growth and advancement of human potential and actual powers. A sound education fosters human development through rigorous and practical approaches.This research aims to achieve educational methods based on Imam Ali's (AS) teachings and developmental psychology.

To collect data, the narrations of Imam Ali (AS) and the theories of psychologists of learning theory were studied with the training approach. Then, the data were selected and analyzed through the stages of open coding and axial coding. Some of the most significant educational methods in the teachings of Imam Ali (AS) include: role-modeling, learning from history, rewards and punishments, game, prayer, teaching and reasoning, practice and habit formation, halal nutrition. Additionally, methods such as emulation, experience and learning from history, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, game, rational development, and broadening perspectives are considered primary techniques of education in learning theories. Results suggest that His  multifaceted and comprehensive approach, combined with the achievements of empirical sciences, has a remarkable effective role in institutionalizing education.

Marital satisfaction is crucial for the stability and longevity of a shared life, and Islamic teachings can serve as a dependable guide for a fulfilling and stable marriage. This study was conducted to explore the impact of a marital enrichment educational program rooted in Islamic teachings on the marital satisfaction of couples.

The current research was a semi-experimental study with an experimental group, a control group, and a pre-test, and post-test design, followed by a two-month assessment. The statistical population of this research comprised couples seeking assistance from two counseling centers in Tehran. Forty couples were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (20 couples each) and a control group (20 couples). The experimental group participated in weekly group interventions consisting of 12 face-to-face sessions and 3 training workshops. Both groups underwent evaluations at three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, utilizing the Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using non-parametric tests, specifically the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.

The results showed that the intervention of the marital enrichment program based on Islamic teachings significantly improved marital satisfaction and its subscales, including Communication, Conflict Resolution, and Idealistic Distortion, in couples of the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.002). The follow-up test further indicated that the training's effect was enduring and significant (P < 0.001).

The educational package designed to enhance marital life through Islamic teachings, an intervention program tailored to cultural norms, has proven effective in boosting the marital satisfaction of couples.

E-learning, as an alternative to classical education in class, enables students to access information without time limitation and geographical limitations (Al-Samarai, 2016). Although e-learning makes interaction and active learning possible,  one of the challenges e-learning confronts with them is the real level of learners' engagement in academic tasks and their real learning and academic achievement. of course, from the start of e-learning formation, this issue has been a concern and also a constant contemplative question. But, in a recent year, with the prevalence of coronavirus and thereby the pervasiveness of e-learning, learners' academic engagement issues in the online space have been questioned by custodians, parents, teachers, and all individuals involved in education. So, the purpose of the present research is to develop a causal model of students' academic engagement in cyberspace based on parents' meta-emotions, Family Communication Patterns and academic emotions.
 
Therefore, the type of research is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study includes all secondary school students in Tehran.The sample size is equal to 400 high school students, who were selected from the statistical population by available sampling. The instruments used were the Family Pattern Communication Questionnaire (RFCP), Rio & Tsang (AES), Swayne Bourne's Parents' Farahijani Perspective (SMEPS), Packran, Goetz, and Perry (2005). The obtained data were analyzed by the structural equation method and PLS3 software.
 
The results showed that 38% of the changes in the variables of positive emotions and 23% of negative emotions are explained by the variables of communicative communication pattern, conformity communication pattern, Farahijani perspective of leadership, Farahijani perspective of consciousness. Also, 47% of the changes in the academic engagement variable are explained by the variables of conversational communication pattern, conformity communication model, Farahjani perspective of leadership, Farahjani view of consciousness, positive emotions and negative emotions. The value of Q2 related to the structure of positive emotions, negative emotions and academic engagement is 0.32, 0.13 and 0.27, respectively, which indicates the proper fit of the structural model and confirms the proper fit of the structural model of the research.
 
From the results of the present study, it is concluded that the academic performance of students in the context of e-learning depends on a set of internal and external factors, and to address the challenges of e-learning, a set of these factors should be considered.

Learning disabilities are considered the main cause of poor academic performance, and every year a significant number of students face difficulties in learning academic subjects due to this reason. These difficulties are primarily attributed to deficiencies in executive functions such as selective attention. So far, there has been a research gap in investigating the effectiveness of two cognitive remediation approaches, namely cognitive enhancement therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, on improving selective attention in students with specific learning disabilities, and there is a noticeable research vacuum in this area.

The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive therapy based on mindfulness in improving the selective attention of students with special learning disorders.

This study employed a semi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest, follow-up, and a control group. The population of the study included all elementary school students (grades 1 to 6) in learning disability centers in Zanjan City during the academic year 2021-2022. Sixty participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (20 participants in each group). The experimental groups received 12 sessions of cognitive enhancement therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy interventions. The data were collected using the Stroop computerized test (SCWT) and analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance, Bonferroni post-hoc test, and SPSS 23 software.

After the interventions, the level of selective attention in students with SLD increased, and there was a significant difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). Also, the CRT intervention had a greater effect on improving selective attention than MBCT. There was no significant difference between the post-test and follow-up test scores of the experimental groups.

The CRT and MBCT programs based on mindfulness were both effective in improving selective attention in students with SLD; however, the CRT intervention was more effective. It is recommended that learning disorder centers use these therapies as effective and cost-effective complementary treatment approaches to enhance the cognitive performance of students with SLD

Islamic beliefs will be a guide for a satisfied and stable marriage. For Islam, the stability of marriage and its sublimity and excellence are of great importance. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of developing an educational package to enriching married life based on Islamic beliefs and to evaluate its effectiveness on marital adjustment of couples.  In this quasi-experimental study using the design of experimental and control groups with pre-test-post-test, among couples referring to two counseling centers in Tehran, 40 couples (80 volunteers) by purposive sampling were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained in pairs in 12 face-to-face sessions, 12 absentee sessions and 3 one-day training camps and research data were collected using the Locke-Wallace marital adjustment scale and analyzed using nonparametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.  The results show that after marital life enrichment training based on Islamic beliefs, the difference in marital adjustment score in the experimental group was significant but in the control group was not significant (P <0.05). In fact, this training package had a greater effect on increasing the marital adjustment of couples in the experimental group than the control group, and training was significantly effective on marital adjustment. Follow-up test also showed that the effect of this training was lasting.  The results of this study confirm the effect of marital life enrichment training based on Islamic beliefs in increasing couples’ adjustment.

Academic cheating behavior is one of the challenging issues in educational environments. This structure has become a global concern in current educational environments and has a significant scope in educational systems. The problem is that the relationships of various variables with academic cheating behavior have been confirmed, but the relationships of variables such as teacher's job enthusiasm and academic motivation have been neglected in the form of structural relationships, and there is a major research gap in this field.

The present study was conducted with the aim of modeling the relationship between teacher's enthusiasm and students' academic cheating behavior with the mediating role of academic motivation.

The method of the present research was applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of the nature of the data. The statistical population of the present study included all teachers (N = 1267) and students (N = 2621) of secondary schools in Damghan city in the academic year of 1400-1401. Among the statistical population, 460 teachers (310 women, 150 men) and 460 students (255 girls, 205 boys) were selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling. The teachers responded to the job enthusiasm scale (Schaufeli,2013) and the students responded to the academic motivation scale (vallerand et al,1992) and Academic cheating scale (Murdock & Stephens, 2007). Analysis of research data was done through structural equation modeling with SPSS24 and AMOS26 software.

The results of structural equation modeling showed that the data had an acceptable fit with the conceptual model and was confirmed.) RMSEA = 0.065, CFI = 0.90, IFI = 0.90, NFI = 0.91, and X2 /df=2.89). Also, according to the structural model of the research, job enthusiasm had a significant effect on academic motivation (0.34) and academic cheating behavior (-0.21), academic motivation had a significant effect on academic cheating behavior (-0.29). Also, the relationship between job enthusiasm and academic cheating through academic motivation was significant (-0.10)

It seems that the results of this research can provide useful information for educational officials, researchers, educational consultants in order to increase teachers' job enthusiasm and reduce students' academic problems.

Academic engagement is one of the key factors affecting student success and one of the most important indicators of the quality and progress of education. With the spread of virtual education, the quality of family performance has been considered as an important element in the academic engagement of students. Based on this, the aim of this research is to determine the role of family communication patterns in the academic engagement of students in online classes.

This research is descriptive research of the post-event type. The statistical population of the research included all second-grade high school students in Tehran in 2020-21, and 400 of them were selected using available sampling method. Then, in order to obtain research data, the questionnaires of family communication patterns of Fitzpatrick and Ritchie (1997) and academic involvement of Reeve and Tseng (2011) were used. Data analysis was done using one-way and multivariate analysis of variance with the help of SPSS.26 software.

The findings confirmed the role of family communication patterns in the academic engagement of students in online classes. The level of academic conflict in students from families with consensual and pluralistic communication patterns was higher than the level of academic conflict among students from families with protective and unrestricted communication patterns (P<0.001). The average scores of students' academic engagement in families with agreeable and pluralistic communication patterns did not have a significant difference from each other. Also, there was no significant difference between students in families with unrestricted and protective communication patterns in terms of academic engagement.

It can be concluded that family communication patterns are effective in increasing the academic engagement of students in online classes and it is possible to improve the academic engagement of students by modifying the communication patterns of families.

Job enthusiasm refers to the amount of use of physical, mental and mental strength of people in doing tasks related to their role. Low work enthusiasm among employees causes organizational commitment and low job satisfaction, errors, accidents and injuries in performing job duties. Therefore, according to the little research evidence in the field of the research topic, identifying and measuring the job enthusiasm of employees is essential and necessary to prevent organizational and psychological problems.

This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the psychometric properties of Shaufeli's job enthusiasm scale among teachers in Damghan city.

In terms of the fundamental-applied goal, and in terms of the type of information gathering, the present research is a questionnaire survey, and in terms of methodology, it is considered one of the test-making studies, which was conducted in the form of a correlational research project. The statistical population of the present study included all teachers (N = 1267) and secondary school students(N=2621) of Damghan city in the academic year of 2001-2001. Among the statistical population, 460 teachers (310 women, 150 men) and 460 students (255 girls, 205 boys) were selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling. The teachers responded to the Schaufeli job enthusiasm scale (2013) and the students responded to the academic motivation scale of vallerand et al. (1992). The analysis of research data was done through confirmatory factor analysis and with SPSS24 and AMOS26 software.

The results confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-factor structure of the scale has an acceptable fit with the data and all the fit indices confirmed the fit of the model. Also, in order to estimate the convergent validity, the Pearson correlation results showed that there were positive and significant relationships between the components of the job enthusiasm scale and the components of the academic motivation scale of Vallerand et al. (1992) (P<0.05). Also, the validity of the components of this scale was suitable using Cronbach's alpha method.

Overall, the results of the present study provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the job enthusiasm questionnaire as a tool for measuring job enthusiasm with the components of strength, commitment and attraction in order to promote and improve teachers' job performance. Therefore, it can be used by teachers, researchers, therapists and counselors as a valid and valid tool

Several factors have a role in the formation of sexual function, some of which have been identified in previous studies.

Findings showed the categories explained "sexual knowledge", "sexual attitude", "sexual self-efficacy", "sexual intimacy", "sexual redress" and "sexual self-efficacy".

It seems that when women perform sexual activities for themselves certain rights such as demanding sexual activity, accepting the existence of intimacy in sexual relationships, etc. They believe that they achieve a positive perception about sexual activity in marital relationships, which can contribute to optimal sexual function

The present research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of cognitive remediation and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in improving cognitive flexibility and academic progress in students with specific learning disabilities. This study was a semi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up using two experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population consisted of all elementary school students identified with specific learning disabilities in Zanjan City during the academic year 2020-2021. Sixty students were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (each group consisting of 20 participants). The experimental groups received 12 sessions of cognitive remediation and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy interventions, while the control group remained on the waiting list. Data were collected using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and monthly teacher assessments and were analyzed using SPSS 24 software and repeated measures analysis. After the interventions, the cognitive flexibility and academic progress of students with specific learning disabilities increased significantly. There was a significant difference in the post-test scores between the experimental groups and the control group with the cognitive remediation approach being more effective. (P<0/05). The cognitive remediation and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy program was effective in improving cognitive flexibility and academic progress in students with specific learning disabilities. Therefore, it is recommended that learning disability centers use mindfulness-based cognitive therapy as an effective and cost-effective therapeutic approach, and even as a complement to the process of improving the cognitive functioning of students with specific learning disabilities.

Diabetes mellitus, like any other chronic illness, causes the person with the disease to experience problems that affect all aspects of the daily life of the individual. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of online cognitive-behavioral stress management training on blood glucose control and problems in sexual function of married women with diabetes during the pandemic of coronavirus.

This experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all diabetic married women referred to the Parsian Diabetes Clinic in Tehran in year 2022. At first, 30 people were selected by convenience sampling method and then randomly divided into two groups of 15. For the people in the experimental group, the online cognitive-behavioral stress management training was implemented in 8 sessions, each session lasting 90 minutes, but the control group received no training and remained in the waiting list. The instruments used in this study included Diabetes Management Self‐Efficacy Scale of Bijl (1999) and Quality Of Life of Boyer and Earp (1997). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

The results indicated that online cognitive-behavioral stress management training significantly improved problems in sexual function of women with diabetes (p=0.022, F=5.934). However, online cognitive-behavioral stress management training was not effective in reducing blood glucose control in women with diabetes (p=0.188, F=0.668)

According to the obtained results, it can be said that cognitive-behavioral stress management can be used in quarantine conditions during the outbreak of infectious diseases such as Corona, and diabetic patients can use this method to reduce their problems in sexual function.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the serious psychological disorders that can hinder the normal functioning of the affected person, so it should be treated. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy based on mindfulness on cognitive regulation of emotion and executive functions in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This semi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included 42 patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder in Karaj city in 2022. The sample randomly assigned to three groups: behavioral activation therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy based on mindfulness, and a control group. Garnevsky et al.'s (2006) and Najati's (2013) executive function questionnaires were used to measure the effectiveness of treatments. Descriptive statistics and multivariate covariance analysis were used for data analysis using SPSS-18 software.

There is a statistically significant difference between the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy based on mindfulness on cognitive regulation strategies adapted to emotions (F=57.71, p=0.001), but these two treatment methods improve the executive functions of patients. It has not been effective.

It can be claimed that the treatment based on behavioral and cognitive-behavioral activation based on mindfulness has been able to increase adapted cognitive strategies in people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it has not been effective on the executive functions of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore, through these two treatments, it is possible to increase cognitive regulation in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder

 Anxiety during pregnancy and fear of childbirth is seen as common problems in Primiparous women. Anxiety and fear during pregnancy are sometimes considered a natural mechanism that prepares the expectant mother for pregnancy and the accompanying changes, but the intensification of worry and anxiety can take the form of illness and affect the mental health of pregnant women. More than 80 percent of women with low-risk pregnancies experience some degree of anxiety and fear of childbirth, and in 6 to 10 percent of cases, this anxiety and fear cause severe debilitating complications in pregnant women. There are several treatment methods to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and fear of childbirth. One of the effective treatment methods is behavioral activation therapy. This treatment method is one of the third-wave psychotherapy methods that increase the behaviors that increase the contact of the person with the reinforcing connections of the environment. In this treatment method, the patient is taught to use an alternative and adaptive coping model in dealing with annoying and frustrating environmental conditions and to react with an active behavior instead of avoidance. Research findings have shown that excessive activity of the inhibitory system leads to anxious personality traits, high sensitivity to threatening stimuli, and anxiety-related behaviors such as worry and fear. The results of some studies confirm the existence of a relationship between inhibition systems and psychiatric disorders such as depression, fear, and anxiety, but few studies have investigated the effect of this method on reducing anxiety and fear in Primiparous women. Another way to reduce fear and anxiety is to use a calm tone. Using a relaxed tone during pregnancy as a suitable method to calm the mind and mind, focus attention on the fetus, positive imagery towards pregnancy, and increase the relationship, and attachment of mother and fetus has been desired by the researchers. In relaxation training, by using breathing techniques, special verbal stimuli, and mental relaxation during the treatment of clients, people are helped to reduce their stress and achieve calmness in their bodies and mind. achieve Correctly performing relaxation exercises improves a person's blood circulation and reduces tension, anxiety, and depression by creating a positive attitude and improving brain function, and increasing people's cellular energy and confidence by relieving their anxiety. Relaxation methods are also known to be effective in many situations such as pain, childbirth, anxiety, and insomnia during pregnancy, and it causes a person to gain the power to control his emotions and behaviors. Considering the great importance of fear and anxiety and their effects on the mental health of Primiparous pregnant mothers, this research aims to determine and compare the effect of educational interventions on the effectiveness of behavioral activation and relaxation in reducing anxiety and fear of childbirth in women. Prenatal care was performed in the hospitals of Karaj city.

The current research was a semi-experimental study with a control group in terms of practical purpose and research design. The statistical population of the research included pregnant women with first births in Karaj in 1400. 144 Primiparous pregnant women referring to Shahid Madani Hospital in Karaj were randomly selected and placed in two groups of behavioral activation and relaxation technique (48 people in each group) and a control group (48). For the experimental group, a training session on behavioral activation and calm tone was implemented, and then a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data on the effectiveness of the training on the scores of anxiety and fear of childbirth. The reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha of 0.78 for anxiety and 0.71 for fear. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis using SPSS version 21 software.

In this research, 144 Primiparous pregnant women were studied in two groups of behavioral activation and relaxation techniques (48 in each group) and the control group (48). The studied groups had no statistically significant differences in terms of the variables of gestational age and the interval between marriage and first pregnancy. The results showed that after the intervention, the anxiety and fear of childbirth of Primiparous pregnant women in the intervention groups decreased significantly, but no significant statistical difference was observed in the control group.

It seems that behavioral activation training and relaxation training can help Primiparous pregnant women to recognize, despite the automaticity of many bodily responses, they can identify them and reduce the anxiety and fear of childbirth. According to the results of relaxation and behavioral activation during pregnancy, it can be considered as a suitable method to reduce anxiety and fear of pregnancy. This study showed that the designed intervention has significant positive effects on reducing the anxiety and stress of pregnant women. Therefore, it is suggested that a series of training in the form of behavioral activation and relaxation should be included in the care programs of pregnant women. The method of reducing fear and anxiety based on calm tone and behavioral activation due to having conscious and non-judgmental techniques can have beneficial effects in improving fears and worries during pregnancy. Considering the simplicity and availability of training in behavioral activation techniques and body exercises, it is suggested the presence of a supportive person such as a life partner, female relatives, and a private midwife; by doing these interventions, they can increase the satisfaction of the birth experience and the feeling of comfort and reduce the fear and anxiety. Considering the limited number of people and the duration of the interventions in this research, it is suggested that this training be carried out with a longer duration and on a larger sample size of pregnant women. The effect of this research with the effect of other therapeutic and psychological methods on the dependent variables of this research should be compared and investigated in practice. Also, in order to evaluate the effect of the passage of time on the retention of educational achievements, it is suggested that researchers consider follow-up courses in future research. Considering that one of the limitations of the present study was the use of a questionnaire in the data collection process, it is suggested that another study be conducted with other tools (observation and interview) to investigate the level of anxiety and fear of childbirth in Primiparous women.

The aim of this study was to the effectiveness of behavioral activation on reducing vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women.

The research was applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental research design with a control group and a follow-up period. The statistical population included all postmenopausal women referred to Ghaemshahr medical centers in 1400 and 40 of them were selected by available sampling method. And were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups First, both groups were pre-tested with the menopause symptom severity questionnaire of Pimenta et al (2006). Then, the experimental node received 8 sessions of 90 minutes of Canter, Bush and Rush (2009) behavioral activation therapy interventions and the control group did not receive any intervention. At the end of the course, post-test was taken from both groups and after two months to evaluate the stability of the effect, the groups were assessed, Data were analyzed using repeated measure variance.

The results showed that behavioral activation treatment was effective in reducing vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women (F = 33.03, P = 0.001) and the treatment effect was stable over time (P < 0.05).

Based on the results of the present study, it is suggested that behavioral activation therapy be used to reduce vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women.

Life satisfaction in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder is lower than normal people in society, so by treating this disorder, the quality of life and life satisfaction in these people can be increased. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on cognitive emotion regulation and cognitive-behavioral avoidance in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The present study is an applied research and quasi-experimental method is a pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population included patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder in Karaj in 1398. A total of 45 people were selected and randomly assigned to three groups of behavioral activation therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and control group. Cognitive emotion regulation and cognitive-behavioral avoidance questionnaires were used to measure the effectiveness of treatments. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of covariance and post hoc test using SPSS-18 software were used.

The results of analysis of covariance showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy in adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (P=0.0001, F=57.71). But there was no statistical difference in the effectiveness of these two treatments in cognitive-behavioral avoidance. Both treatments have been equally effective in cognitive-behavioral avoidance.

Behavioral activation-based therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy have an effect on improving cognitive emotion regulation strategies and reducing cognitive-behavioral avoidance in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore, these two therapies can be used to regulate emotions and avoidance in obsessive-compulsive patients.
