The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that all components of marital conflict have a positive and significant correlation with emotional divorce and a significant negative correlation with constructive conflict resolution style. Also, there is a significant negative relationship between constructive conflict resolution style and emotional divorce. In addition, based on the results of hierarchical regression, the use of constructive conflict resolution style has a moderating role between marital conflicts and emotional divorce. The results showed that marital conflicts can predict the reduction of emotional divorce by modulating people's use of constructive conflict resolution style. Therefore, people using constructive conflict resolution styles, despite experiencing marital conflicts, are less likely to experience coldness in the relationship and emotional divorce.

Depressed women have psychological problems that require interventions such as behavioral activation to reduce them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of behavioral activation therapy on learned helplessness and psychological toughness in depressed women.

The research design was a semi-experimental pre-test post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the people suffering from depression in Babol city who had referred to psychotherapy clinics in Babol city in 2019. Thirty people who scored medium to high in the Beck Depression Questionnaire were randomly selected and assigned into two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group).

Quinles and Nelson's (1988) learned helplessness questionnaire and Ahvaz Kiamarthi, Najarian and Mehrabizadeh's (1999) psychological toughness questionnaire were applied to them. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis using SPSS version 23 software. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

The results of covariance analysis indicated that behavioral activation treatment had an effect on learned helplessness (F = 49.24) and psychological toughness (F = 17.58) in depressed women (P<0.001). The amount of this effect in the variable of learned helplessness based on the square of the eta coefficient was equal to 52% and in the variable of psychological toughness, it was equal to 37%.
