The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of teaching social-emotional skills and positive thinking on the psychological well-being and adaptation of Imam Ali University students. This research was practical in terms of purpose and in terms of method, it was an experiment with a pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population included first-year university students. The statistical sample included 21 people for each of the experimental groups and 20 people for the control group; which were randomly selected and replaced in groups. The data collection tool included the 84-question psychological well-being questionnaire of Riff and the 160-question questionnaire of Bell's adjustment. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that both social-emotional skills training and positive thinking training improved psychological well-being and adaptation at the P<0.01 level, and in the comparison between the two types of intervention, social-emotional skills training was more effective. The results were repeated in the three-month follow-up.

The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of positive thinking skills on academic boredom and adaptation to school among male students of the second year of high school.

The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The population under study in this research was all the students of the second period secondary schools in Bukan city in the academic year 2022-2023, 40 of them were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (20 experimental and 20 control) . Then the experimental group was trained in positive thinking skills and the control group did not receive any intervention. Adaptation to school by Baker and Seriak (1984) and academic immersion by Martin and Jackson (2008) were used to collect data. Statistical tests (univariate and multivariate covariance analysis) and spss statistical software version 25 were used to analyze the data.

The findings showed that positive thinking skill training is effective on academic boredom and adaptation to school for second year male secondary school students.

According to the results obtained from this research, it is suggested that positive thinking skill training along with other psychological interventions be considered as one of the effective methods in improving academic boredom and increasing students' adaptation to school.

The present study aims to predict sleep quality in soldiers based on their religious orientations and the mediating role of resilience and positive thinking.

The present study is of a descriptive correlational type utilizing the structural equation modeling, in which a total of 237 conscripted soldiers were sampled using the availability sampling method. The data collection tools of the present study include the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, Ingram and Wisnicki Positive Affect Questionnaire, and Alport's Religious Orientation Questionnaire. Data analysis was then conducted using SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 20. Lastly, the research hypothesis testing was conducted using structural equation modeling.

Based on the test statistics and their significance (P < 0.05), the results of the present study revealed the total religious orientation effect coefficient on sleep quality to be 0.307, which is mediated directly and indirectly due to the elements of resilience and positive thinking. Moreover, the total external religious orientation effect coefficient on sleep quality is 0.138, which is mediated indirectly due to the elements of resilience and positive thinking.

The results of the present study revealed that internal religious orientation has a direct, meaningful, and positive effect on sleep quality. Moreover, the mediating roles of resilience and positive thinking reinforce the effect of internal religious orientation on the sleep quality variable. External religious orientation and the mediating role of resilience and positive thinking only have an indirect positive and meaningful effect on the sleep quality variable.

The aim of the present research endeavor was to compare the effectiveness of reality therapy and positive thinking training in promoting emotional regulation and cognitive avoidance among blind second-secondary students in Ardabil city. Gender was also considered as a moderating factor in this comparison. During the 2019 academic year, the research community comprised male and female secondary school pupils from Ardabil city who were blind. Through random sampling, 66 qualified volunteers (33 girls and 33 boys) were selected. The research methodology was applied and quantitative data collection was conducted in a semi-experimental fashion using a pre-test-post-test and follow-up design. The participants were divided into two independent groups, each receiving one of two intervention trainings(reality therapy training and positive thinking training), and a control group comprised of 22 individuals, 11 of whom were girls and 11 of whom were boys. The research employed the Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ) and the Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire (CERQ). Ten sessions of positive thinking training and eight sessions of reality therapy training (each lasting sixty minutes) were completed. Using the spss21 software, the data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis and Benferoni's post hoc test. The studies showed that the therapeutic interventions of the two experimental groups differ from those of the control group. Furthermore, in comparison to boys, the efficacy of the therapeutic intervention program in addressing cognitive avoidance and emotional regulation was found to be greater in girls (P<0.05). The results of the follow-up test showed the stability of therapeutic interventions in blind students after one month. The efficacy of reality therapy and positive thinking instruction in ameliorating the emotional regulation and cognitive avoidance difficulties of both male and female students is underscored; consequently, its application is concentrated on blind students. After one month, the results of a follow-up evaluation demonstrated that therapeutic interventions for blind students remained stable. The efficacy of reality therapy and positive thinking training in ameliorating the emotional regulation and cognitive avoidance difficulties of both male and female students is underscored, thus justifying its application to blind students.

The aim of this research was to the prediction of marital satisfaction based on attachment styles with the mediating role of mindfulness and positive thinking. In regard to the purpose, this research was fundamental and in regard to procedure, it was a correlation study. The study community included all married people of Kermanshah City in 2022, among them 350 people were selected as a sample through available sampling. Research questionnaires included: The Enrich Marital Satisfaction scale (EMS) Fowers & Olson (1993), Adult Attachment Styles Questionnaire (AAI) Simpson (1990), Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) Brown & Ryan (2003), Automatic Thoughts Questionnair-Positive (ATQ-P) Ingram, & Wisnicki (1988). The structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that secure attachment style has a direct and significant relationship with marital satisfaction (P<0.001). Also, the relationship between secure attachment style and marital satisfaction through mindfulness (P<0.001) and positive thinking (P<0.001) is positive and significant, and the relationship between insecure attachment and marital satisfaction through mindfulness (P<0.002) and positive thinking (P<0.001) was negative and significant. But the direct relationship of insecure attachment to marital satisfaction (P<0.239) was not significant and the research model had a good fit. It can be concluded that attachment styles predict marital satisfaction both directly and indirectly through the two variables of mindfulness and positive thinking.

The aim of this study was the effectiveness of reality therapy and positive thinking training on self-disability and negative problem orientation, with a moderating role in blind high school students in Ardabil. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and follow-up. The statistical population consisted of blind male and female high school students in Ardabil (academic year 1399). Sixty-six volunteers were purposefully selected by random sampling in two experimental groups and one control group (22 people in each group). Intervention training was considered for the reality therapy group for 10 sessions and positive thinking for 8 sessions. Absolute blindness and education in secondary school were considered as entrance criteria and not being under the supervision of a psychiatrist, not taking medication and not attending more than 3 sessions were considered as exit criteria. Data were collected through a questionnaire of self-disability and negative orientation to the problem. Multivariate analysis of covariance and Beferroni post hoc test using SPSS 21 software were used to analyze the data. Findings indicated that positive-thinking therapy intervention and reality-therapy resulted in differences between the experimental and control groups with a gender-modulating role in self-disability and negative orientation to the problem, which was persistent in the follow-up period (P <0.05). It can be concluded that reality therapy and positive thinking training is effective in improving the condition of the experimental group in the field of self-disability and negative orientation to the problem, so its use is emphasized in blind students..

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of positive thinking training on fear of childbirth and labor self-efficacy in primiparous pregnant women.

The present research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design with control group and follow-up stage and the statistical population was primiparous pregnant women in Sari in autumn 1398. The statistical sample in this study included 30 pregnant women (15 in the control group and 15 in the experimental group) who were selected by convenience sampling. The research instruments were Louis (1993) Childbirth Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Harman (1988) Fear of Childbirth Questionnaire. The experimental group underwent the positivist psychotherapy intervention of Ohanlon and Bertolino (2012) for eight sessions. Data were analyzed using repeated measures variance.

The results showed that a positive psychotherapy intervention was effective on fear of childbirth (F = 109.25, P = 0.001) and labor self-efficacy (F = 80.19, P = 0.001) in the post-test stage; This effect was also stable in the follow-up phase (P = 0.05).

The results show that positivist psychotherapy reduces unnecessary cesarean section by reducing the fear of childbirth and increasing the self-efficacy of childbirth.

The aim of this research was to investigate the mediating role of self-compassion and positive thinking in the relationship between attachment styles and adolescents' happiness. In regard to the purpose, this research was fundamental, and in regard to procedure, it was a correlation study (structural equation modeling). The statistical population of the study included all first and second-grade high school students of Holeilan City in the academic year 1401-1400, among them 370 students selected as samples by cluster random sampling. Research questionnaires included: the Adult Attachment Styles Questionnaire (AAI) by Simpson (1990), the Self-Compassion Questionnaire (SCS) by Neff (2003), the Positive Thought Questionnaire (ATQ-P) by Ingram and Wisnicki (1988), and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHI) was Argyle et al. (1989). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that happiness had a positive and significant relationship with secure attachment style (β = 0.15) and a negative and significant relationship with insecure attachment style (β = -0.35). On the other hand, the relationship between happiness and secure attachment style through self-compassion and positive thinking was positive and significant (β = 0.27) and with negative and significant insecure attachment style (β = -0.22). The model had a good fit. It can be concluded that happiness is, directly and indirectly, related to attachment styles through the two variables of self-compassion and positive thinking. Thus, compassion and positive thinking themselves can play a mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and happiness.

One of the essential cognitive distortions is deterministic thinking. In this type of thinking, one considers an event equal to something else. Deterministic thinking can be the root of feelings of hopelessness and helplessness (3). The results of studies show the relationship between irrational beliefs and marital conflicts (4). On the other hand, it seems that many destructive relationships arise due to conflicts and the subsequent negativity of couples, which is derived from their mental, psychological makeup, and way of thinking (5). Positive thinking is a cognitive process that creates hopeful images and develops optimistic ideas. However, positive thinking does not ignore the need for a realistic appraisal (6). In the field of couples' cognitive problems, several treatments can be considered. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is mindfulness and value-based behavior therapy that provides a wide range of tools and results in a conscious, value-based practice called psychological resilience )11) Compassion-focused therapy is an integrated and multimodal approach (20) that can be considered in the field of problems related to couples. Engaging with distress and suffering is often difficult; thus, the first psychology of compassion involves a form of strength and courage to do this (22). Given the ACT's greater focus on recognizing and increasing the CFT's focus on emotions, combining, and integrating these interventions can effectively facilitate emotional balance, break out of the cognitive integration cycle, and avoid the experience of worrying when dealing with disturbing interpersonal situations. With this necessity, the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on acceptance and commitment with a focus on self-compassion in deterministic and positive thinking of couples was investigated in the present study.

The present study was a semi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with the control group. The statistical population was all couples referred to counseling centers in Tehran in the first half of 2021. The sampling method was purposive with random substitution. In the present study, a total of 36 people were selected, and after random assignment, group intervention, with the presence of at least one couple, was performed by the researcher in an 8-weekly 90-minute group session. Inclusion criteria referred to a counseling center for couples counseling due to marital conflicts, conscious desire to participate in research, age range 25-45 years, literacy, no mental illness, and no use of interfering drugs. The criteria for diagnosis were clinical interviews by the researcher (clinical psychologist) and self-report. Exclusion criteria were unwillingness to participate in the research, absence of more than two sessions, and not doing homework. Participants had the opportunity to refrain from attending meetings at any research stage. Participants participated in three stages pre-test, post-test, and follow-up (at the end of 2 months). The research instruments included Younesi and Mirafzal deterministic thinking scale and Ingram & Wisnicki positive thinking questionnaire. Younesi and Mirafzal’s definitive thinking scale has 36 questions that are scored using the likert 4-point method (1 for the option I strongly agree to 4 for the option strongly disagree). Thus, the higher a person's score on the scale, the more confident he is (34). The Ingram & Wisnicki positive thinking questionnaire is initially written in English and consists of 30 items. Each item is scored using the likert five-point method from (one= never to five= always) (35). In Iran, Mashayekh and Asgarian (2019) used construct validity to measure validity and Cronbach's alpha coefficient to measure reliability, which was obtained above 0.7 (7). The content of ACT intervention focusing on self-compassion was based on instructions (20, 32), Which was prepared in Iran by Ismaili et al. (2018) and after its Persian translation and adaptation to cultural conditions, was prepared and executed. Content validity was also confirmed by a survey of three psychologists familiar with third-wave therapies (29). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance and SPSS-25 statistical analysis software.

The mean and standard deviation of the age of the participants in the experimental group was 33.94 and 6.05 years, respectively, and in the control group were 33.32 and 6.13 years, respectively. Participants in the experimental group consisted of 12 females and six males, including 11 and seven females in the control group, respectively. Analysis of variance with repeated measurements has assumptions. Shapiro-Wilk was used to evaluate the normality of data distribution, which was not significant at the level of 0.05, which indicates the normality of data distribution. The assumption is the homogeneity of the error variances. Also, the assumption of homogeneity of the covariance matrix of dependent variables was established at the level of 0.05. In the results of the Mauchly's sphericity test, the value of the chi-square of definitive thinking was not significant at the level of 0.05, indicating the establishment of the assumption of sphericity. In the positive thinking variable, the chi-square value related to the positive self-assessment component was significant at the level of 0.01, indicating that the sphericity assumption for that component is not established. Therefore, the corresponding degrees of freedom were modified using the Greenhouse–Geisser correction. The results of repeated measures analysis of variance in explaining the effect of cognitive therapy based on acceptance and commitment by focusing on self-compassion on the components and the total score of determinative thinking showed that the interaction effect oftime group for the component of general certainty, certainty in interaction with others, social well-being absolutism, determinism in predicting the future, determinism in adverse events and the total score of deterministic thinking are significant at the level of 0.01. The results of the Bonferroni post hoc test showed that deterministic thinking changes due to the implementation of the independent variable after the end of the treatment period are still present.Also, the results of repeated measures analysis of variance to explain the effect of cognitive therapy based on acceptance and commitment by focusing on self-compassion on the components and the total score of positive thinking showed that the interaction effect of time group for daily positive function components, positive self-assessment, self-evaluation (Self-confidence), and the total score of positive thinking at the level of 0.01 is significant. The Bonferroni post hoc test results indicated that the changes after the end of the treatment period remain.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on acceptance and commitment with a focus on self-compassion in deterministic and positive thinking. The results showed that cognitive therapy based on acceptance and commitment with a focus on self-compassion is effective on deterministic thinking and positive thinking in the experimental group and is stable in the follow-up period.The results may have been based on self-awareness of cognitive errors, acceptance, and correction of defective cognitive contexts. In addition, heterogeneity allows clients to act on values. Accepting and observing thoughts motivates the use of efficient thoughts and behaviors to achieve a meaningful and purposeful life and the opportunity to communicate more sincerely. Teaching how the brain develops and the formation of emotions and reactions leads couples not to blame and judge unpleasant inner experiences and accept responsibility for change.On the other hand, the positive thinking index effectively relates to our perception and attitude towards ourselves, others, and the future. It seems that mindfulness and stress reduction caused by interventions by providing the possibility of positive re-evaluation and facilitating the achievement of different solutions affect the level of positive thinking and optimism in various fields, especially marital satisfaction. From the results of the present study and research evidence, it can be concluded that the present intervention may affect the present intervention on the one hand, by affecting the structure of destructive and defective attitudes and mental patterns, On the other hand, by strengthening the positive thinking dimensions to have significant and lasting effectiveness.

Today, the effects of positive thinking and mindfulness training on anyone are not hidden and its positive effects on patients can be seen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness and positive thinking therapy based on emotion regulation and defense mechanisms in people with borderline personality disorder in improving post-traumatic brain injury by quasi-experimental method.

The statistical population of this study was patients with borderline personality disorder due to traumatic brain injury, from which 60 people were selected for this study by cluster random sampling. This study was performed based on pre-test and post-test with a control group (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group). The data collection tools in the present study were the standard Garnfsky Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2001) and the Andrews Standard Questionnaire (1998). Descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data.

Based on the results obtained in the pre-test stage, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of emotion regulation level and defense mechanisms. But after the intervention (positive thinking training and mindfulness training) a significant difference was observed between the two groups.

According to the modified means of analysis of covariance, it can be concluded that training positive thinking and mindfulness skills improves the level of emotion regulation and improves defense mechanisms in the experimental group compared to the control group.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of positive thinking therapy on improving the quality of life and life expectancy of patients with diabetes. The statistical population of the present study included patients with diabetes in Kashmar city who were introduced by the University of Medical Sciences. 30 people were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 people. The research instruments were the Quality of Life Questionnaire (IRQOL) and Schneider (1991). The results of analysis of covariance showed that the quality of life and life expectancy of diabetics who received positive thinking intervention had a significant increase compared to members of the control group; Therefore, positive thinking therapy can improve the quality of life and life expectancy of diabetics.In general, chronic diseases, including diabetes, will lead to many clinical, social and psychological problems, which in turn will limit the physical and mental activity of people and reduce the quality of life and life expectancy.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of positive thinking training on increasing club affiliation and sports burnout of student athletes male high school students in Tabriz.The research method is quasi- experimental and pre-test-post-test with a control group. The study sample consisted of 40 students in two groups( including 20 students as an experimental group and 20 students as a control group) who were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling. The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of 30 minutes, twice a week in group session of positive thinking training and the control group did not receive any intervention. Research tool include the club feeling questionnaire (Barry, Betty, Watt, 2004) and the Ingram and Wisnicky (1998) positive thinking questionnaire. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that positive thinking training had a significant effect on the sense of belonging to the club among student-athletes.

positive thinking training can improve the sense of belonging to the club, therefore, it is suggested that this program be used to improve the sense of belonging to the athlete student club.

Positivity and positive thinking is concept that special attention has attracted in psychology and religion. Psychology at the beginning of its emergence more attention to negative points of human existence, such as the treatment of disease and trauma but recently positive psychology prospective which one of the new approaches is in psychology, Unlike traditional psychology, instead of emphasis on diseases and injuries focused on humans positive traits and abilities, such as happiness, hope, optimism, well-being and other aspects of human existence. in the other hand, is seen in Islam is always positivity and positive thinking is the many emphasis has been for mental and mind health. so the purpose of present paper is a comparative study of Islam and psychology view in relate to positivity component and dimensions in human. the method of present study is inductive- analytical research, thus with collecting data from Islamic and psychology texts, to explore the concept of positivity and attitude towards in human. In general, it can be concluded that not only there is no difference between main core of psychological and Islamic meaning of positivity but also in the two approaches there are similar fairly view to positivity and positive thinking and in the other hand In Islam and psychology too, although has been attention to negative aspects of human existence, but in general in two approaches there are positive fairly view to human and its existence dimensions.
