mixed-method

The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of compassion-focused therapy in addressing the psychological and marital issues of women who have a veteran spouse. The research was conducted using an exploratory mixed-methodsapproach and encompassed both qualitative and quantitative phases. In 2020, the statistical population of the survey encompassed all women with veteran spouses residing in the 13th and 14th districts of Tehran. In the qualitative stage, purposive sampling was employed to select and interview 19 women with veteran spouses who were referred to the District 13 Municipal Health Center. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The identification of seven themes (anxiety, depression, fatigue and disability, irritability and aggression, loneliness, life dissatisfaction, and marital conflict) was the result of this analysis in the psychological-marital dimensions. Based on these components, a questionnaire was developed to assess the psychological and marital issues of women who have a veteran spouse. The data analysis in the experimental section was performed using the Bonferroni post hoc test and repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS software version 22. The findings indicated that women who have spouses who are veterans encounter challenges in the areas of psychological, marital, physical, social, and economic well-being.Desirable psychometric properties were observed in the psychological-marital issues of women who completed a veteran spouse questionnaire. Also, compassion-focused therapy was effective in all psychological-marital aspects of the issues faced by women with a veteran spouse, resulting in a decrease in problematic behaviors. In the future, clinicians and researchers can investigate and mitigate the psychological-marital issues of women with a veteran spouse during counseling and psychotherapy sessions by implementing the combined study method, developing tools, and choosing the most suitable treatment.

In the last decade, there has been a growing recognition of child peer rejection since it has an important role in child's psychological problems and its effects sometimes expend to the future. The main purpose of the present research was to develop a structural model for peer rejection base on a mixed method (quantitative-qualitative). In the qualitative part, we used the triangulation method and developed a structural model base on opinions of educational specialists and sixth-grade teachers as well as research literature. In this model family problems, weakness in understanding others emotions, and language problems had indirect effects on peer rejection while psychological problems, academic failures and apparent lack of attractiveness had direct effects on peer rejection. In the quantitative section, the statistical population is taken from 6th grade elementary school students of Kermanshah in academic years of 2018-19. The total number of the participants is 311 students which were selected by the random cluster sampling method and responded to a researcher-made questionnaire. For analyzing the data, we used a partial least squares approach. After confirming the validity and reliability of the conceptual model, the results showed that the model has been fitted. In sum, it can be said that the results of this study can be a source of inspiration for teachers, educators, and policymakers, and can help them in the process of follow up or treatment.

The aim of this study was to investigate psychological-marital problems of women who filed for a divorce and examining the effectiveness of affective-reconstructive therapy on it.

The research design was mixed-method. In the qualitative stage, 15 women who field for a divorce were selected using purposive sampling and interviewed. The statistical population included all women who field for a divorce with a history of early marriage in 1399 in Ardabil. To analyze the data, the thematic analysis was used. This analysis in psychological-marital dimensions led to the identification of 7 themes (anxiety, depression, nostalgia and loss, confusion, insecurity and pessimism, lack of mutual understanding, and marital conflict). Then, based on these themes, a psychological-marital problem questionnaire (PMPQ) was designed and after confirming the psychometric properties, in order to determine the effectiveness of affective-reconstructive therapy, this questionnaire was used.

The results of the qualitative part showed that women who filed for a divorce with a history of early marriage, experience problems in the psychological-marital dimension. The questionnaire of psychological-marital problems of marriage (PMPQ), had good validity and reliability. Also, Affective-reconstructive therapy was effective in all dimensions of psychological-marital problems and led to the reduction of problems.

the present study aimed to investigate the existential crises of unfaithful men and examine the effectiveness of indigenous counseling based on marital infidelity tendency.

the research had a exploratory mixed-method design and included both qualitative and quantitative phases. The interpretive phenomenology method was used in the qualitative phase. Eighteen unfaithful men of Shahindej city, Iran, were selected by purposive sampling and interviewed in the qualitative phase. The data were analyzed by Colaizzi’s method. As a result, six categories (i.e., delay contemplation, existential emptiness avoidance, not accepting fate, pathological value change, sexual and desire-based love, and struggling with existential loneliness). Then, the initial model of counseling was designed based on these crises. The model matching method was used to evaluate the theoretical validity of the model. The model was given to 12 experts to confirm its face and content validity, and after approval, it was finalized in the form of 12 sessions. The single case method was used in the quantitative phase. three unfaithful men were purposively selected in the quantitative phase. The model was implemented in three baselines, intervention, and follow-ups. The data were collected by the Attitudes toward Infidelity Scale (ATIS) and analyzed by visual analysis, statistical and clinical significance.

The results revealed that the model significantly reduced marital infidelity tendency (p<0.01).

Therapists can use the model reduce the tendency to infidelity in the individuals or couples engaged in marital infidelity.

The aim of present research was making a test of perception of lovemaking between single students and survey of psychometric features of this tool.

The research method was mixed. For this purpose, first during a qualitative study based on data-driven theory using a semi-structured interview technique, 32 students (18 girls and 14 boys) were interviewed. The sampling method was purposeful and based on theoretical saturation. The text of the interviews were identified using MAXQDA10 qualitative data analysis software. Students' coding and perception of lovemaking were identified in three categories: ethics of logical obedience, emotional self-obsession and immoral self-obsession. In the next step, based on the codes obtained from the qualitative part of the research, a questionnaire appropriate to the cultural and educational context of Iranian society was developed to measure the perception of lovemaking of single students and then 560 single students ranging in age from 19 to 33 years. (314 girls and 246 boys) Bachelor's and Master's degrees from 5 governmental and Islamic Azad universities in Tehran (Allameh Tabatabai, Shahid Beheshti, Imam Sadegh (AS), Research Sciences and Amirkabir Universities), which are in a multi-stage cluster method Were selected and answered the test.

The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale of love perception contains 18 questions and includes three confirmed categories of ethics of logical obedience (questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), emotional self-obedience (questions 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) and immoral self-obsession (questions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) of lovemaking. Model fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the validity of this scale.

Therefore, based on the findings, the students' love perception test can be used as a valid and valid tool to measure and evaluate the love perception of single Iranian students.

Generative learning theory is one of theories that it has paid attention to this problem and is looking to develop those skills and capabilities of the learners that they will be used as a basis for the future to acquire the next skills and competencies. In other words, they will gain the generation and creation of knowledge. This research did for purpose of modeling the generative learning to practice it in the classroom to enhance the student’s analytic learning. It conducted by mixed method research of exploratory sequential design to modeling the generative learning theory. Formative research was used in qualitative research and experimental design in quantitative research. Qualitative research questions were: What are the components of this model? What is the instructional design procedure in the model? Quantitative research hypotheses were: generative learning model enhance student's analytic learning in biology (the major hypothesis), and sub-hypotheses were: a) students can identify different elements of a material by generative learning model. B) The generative learning model makes students able to show the relationships between different elements of a material. And finally c) Students can use the generative learning model to compare the different samples and example with each other. Findings from this research identified the components of generative learning model, and also clearly stated the instructional design procedure based on it. The research hypotheses were confirmed, suggesting that generative learning model improves student’s analytic learning in biology.
