The aim of present study was to examine the predictive role of attachment and couple styles on relational maintenance strategy. This research is a descriptive_ correlation.  The statistical population has been consisted of all the women who had middle school children in Tehran city; so, 372 people  have been selected by multiple cluster sampling. Stafford, Dainton & Haas) 2000) Relational Maintenance Strategy Measure, hazan & shaver(1987) Adult attachment questionnaire and Fitzpatrick& Ritchie(1994) Relational Dimensions Instrument has been considered as the data collection tools. Data analysis was performed through Pearson correlative coefficient and multiple regressions. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between secure attachment style(r= 0.17, p≤0.001) and traditional (r= 0.23, p≤0.001) and independence(r= 0.56, p≤0.001) couple style with relational maintenance strategy. Also there is a significant negative relationship between avoidance(r= - 0.16, p≤0.002) and ambivalent(r= - 0.14, p≤0.003) attachment styles with relational maintenance strategy and there is no significant relationship between separation couple style with relational maintenance strategy. Also multiple regression analysis has shown that traditional and independence couple styles and secure, avoidance and ambivalent attachment styles can predict 33% variance of the relational maintenances strategy.  According to these findings, it can be concluded that couple styles and attachment styles have effective role in the couple use relational maintenance strategy.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transactional analysis analysis on verbal conflicts, neglect and abuse of women referring to the counseling center of Tehran Oil Engineering and Development Company.

The present study was quasi-experimental with experimental groups, control group and pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up design. The statistical population of this study includes women who referred to the counseling center of the Oil Engineering and Development Company, from which 24 women who referred to this center due to marital and family problems were selected by convenience sampling. After matching the subjects, the entry and exit criteria of the study were purposefully selected by 20 women and 10 women in the group therapy were randomly analyzed by interaction behavior analysis and 10 women in the control group. The experimental group received 90 minutes of treatment after 8 pre-tests; But the control group did not receive any treatment after the pre-test. Both groups were evaluated in three stages of pre-test, post-test and 2-month follow-up by Strauss (1979) Marital Conflict Resolution Strategies Questionnaire. Repeated measurement analysis of variance test was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the transactional analysis of reciprocal behavior on the improvement of verbal conflicts (F = 51.67, p = 0.001), negligence (F = 57.39, p = 0.001) and abuse (F = 10.30). (P = 0.001) showed in the post-test stage and after two months of follow-up.

Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the transactional analysis of mutual behavior, in addition to improving the level of adaptation of couples has also led to a reduction in conflict.

The aim of this study was the effectiveness of couple therapy with a reality therapy approach on action flexibility and tolerance of women. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group and quarterly follow-up and the statistical population of women referring to Avae Daroon Counseling Centers, Rahnama and Mehr Shahr Hospital Counseling Center in Tehran from May to June 1397 in which 45 women volunteered to participate. The study responded to Connor and Davidson (2003) Action Flexibility Questionnaire and Simmons and Gaher (2005) Distress Tolerance Questionnaire. After screening, 30 women were selected and randomly replaced in the reality therapy intervention group and the control group (15 women in each group). . The experimental group underwent Glasser reality therapy intervention for 8 sessions of 90 minutes in 2016 and the data were analyzed using repeated measures mixed analysis of variance. The results showed the effect of reality therapy intervention on action flexibility (F = 17.21, P = 0.001) and distress tolerance (F = 26.98, P = 0.001) and the stability of this effect in the follow-up phase. Because reality therapy intervention has allowed women to shift focus from their husbands' behavior to their own; As a result, they stopped using these communication barriers and while increasing their tolerance, by learning the right communication program, they were able to improve their relationships to increase their flexibility; Therefore, they are considered as an effective intervention for the treatment of action flexibility and tolerance of couples' distress.

The aim of this study was to determine the structural pattern of predicting marital commitment based on differentiation in women with a mediating role of emotional intelligence. The research method was correlation and the statistical population was all married women who referred to counseling centers in Tehran in 1397. In this way, random sampling by lot was used in the selection of counseling centers. For this purpose, the city of Tehran was first divided into five regions: north, south, east, west and center; Then, three counseling centers from each region were randomly selected by lot and 300 women were selected based on the sample power software. Then Adams and Jones (1997) Marital Commitment Questionnaire, Scorron and Friedlander (1998) Differentiation Questionnaire and Bar-On (2002) Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were completed and the data were analyzed using Smart Plus structural equations. The results at the level of 99% confidence showed that the structural model can predict marital commitment based on differentiation mediated by emotional intelligence ( β = 0.20) and has a good fit. The direct path of differentiation ( β = 0.39) and emotional intelligence ( β = 0.28) had a significant effect on marital commitment and the indirect path showed that differentiation mediated by emotional intelligence had a positive effect on marital commitment. To achieve the desired cohesion and marital relationship, it is possible to improve differentiation by strengthening the emotional intelligence of each couple.

The aim of this study was to explain the causal latent marital aggression in women with the mediating role of guilt and self-esteem. The method of the present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive information was collected by correlation method. In studies that aim to test a specific model of prediction between variables, the structural equation model is used. The statistical population of the study was married women working in the Radio and Television Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Tehran. In this study, multi-stage random sampling method was used and 150 married women were randomly selected as a sample and exposed to latent marital communication aggression, Nelson and Carroll (2006), Reese's self-compassion (2011) and Tanjeni, Wagner self-conscious emotion. And Gomez (1989) responded. Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis were used for analysis. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between self-compassion on latent marital aggression and the mediating role of guilt (β = 0.16, P = 0.01). According to the results, guilt can mediate between latent marital aggression and self-compassion in married women.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of laughter yoga training on the general health of women with diabetes. The research method was quasi-experimental with experimental and control groups, pre-test design, post-test and two-month follow-up and the statistical population was 70 female teachers with diabetes in education zones 1 and 2 of Zahedan city in 1397. From this community, 60 women voluntarily participated in screening after sending a circular from the Department of Education. 30 women with diabetes were selected and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. Research instruments Goldberg and Hiller (1978) General Health Questionnaire and Medical Laughter Yoga Program (2012) were taught to the experimental group in 8 60-minute group sessions once a week. Data were analyzed using repeated measures mixed analysis of variance. The results showed the effect of laughter yoga training on physical symptoms (F = 4.55, P = 0.037), anxiety symptoms and sleep disorders (F = 3.33, P = 0.024), social function (= 4.35). F, P = 0.041), depressive symptoms (F = 4.92, P = 0.030) and total general health score (F = 3.68, P = 0.046) and the stability of this effect was in the follow-up stage. . Laughter yoga training encourages one to recognize positive and good experiences and to recognize their role in increasing and promoting self-respect and self-respect and self-esteem; Therefore, it seems that it is better to teach laughing yoga to female teachers with diabetes along with lifestyle changes and teaching ways to deal with stressful situations caused by the disease in order to achieve more lasting results.
