The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of self-knowledge education with Sadra's approach on increasing spiritual intelligence.

This research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest and control group design. The statistical population includes the female students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. From this population, 40 students were selected using convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. The experimental group received six sessions of self-knowledge education with the Sadrai approach, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The Sohrabi and Naseri's spiritual intelligence questionnaire was used to collect data at two stages of pre and post test.  The data were analized using ANCOVA and MANCOVA methods by SPSS-19 software.

The results showed significant difference between the experimental group and control group in the variable of study indicating that self-knowledge education with Sadra's approach led to the promotion of spiritual intelligence of female students of Ferdowsi University.

The present study aimed to investigate the role of the quality of object relationships on matrimonial satisfaction mediated by the self-differentiation and cognitive emotion regulation.

The study was descriptive-correlational research using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The population included all people who were married for at least two years and visited psychological and counseling clinics in Mashhad, Iran, from the period time of 2020 to 21 due to suffering from marital conflicts. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling technique. From 300 questionnaires that were distributed among the participants, a total of 260 questionnaires fulfilled the required analysis criteria. The instruments for data collection included Bell’s object relations and reality testing inventory, the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, the differentiation of self inventory, and the ENRICH marital satisfaction scale. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique.

The findings showed that the quality of object relationships predicted the rates of matrimonial satisfaction (p>0/05). Moreover, the findings showed that the differentiation of self and negative cognitive emotion regulation played mediatory roles (p>0/05). Based of these findings, it is concluded that in both pre-marriage counseling and couples therapy programs, considering the quality of object relationships as well as the self-differentiation as the variables that are based on psychoanalytical concepts can be essential for designing beneficial interventions due to this assumption that the dependency on one’s family and the relatives’ interferences are always the most significant predictors of divorce.

When criteria such as kindness, loyalty, and respect are violated in an intimate relationship, it is a form of infidelity that can have a variety of causes. The purpose of this study was to determine the behavioral and physical dimensions of childhood trauma in men and women who have marital infidelity.

This study was a qualitative study. A total of 11 participants who have a history of marital infidelity (7 women and 5 men) were selected using purposeful samplmig method. They were then interviewed using semi-structured interview until participants' responses were saturated. Analysis of the interviews was also conducted using grounded theory by opening, centeal and selective coding.

The results of the interview analysis showed that individuals who have marital infidelity suffer from behavioral and physical traumas including: behavioral abuse (punishment, parental aggression, forced and behavioral coercion), incorrect parenting (extreme affection, parental self-centeredness, lack of supervision and behavioral contradiction of parents), malfunctioning family structure (family conflicts, border tensions and inequality between children). Moreover, it was demonstrated that the childhood trauma result in some problems for these people in various areas of their life in childhood and adulthood. Based on these findings, as well as the paradigm model, necessary plans can be taken to identify as well as prevent traumas that could potentially lead to marital infidelity.

In this study, the mediating role of a sense of security in the relationship between self-perfection and perceived stress with life satisfaction was investigated among orphan girls.

In this correlational research design, structural equation modeling was employed and a sample of 150 orphan girls in Sabzevar and Neyshabur was selected by complete enumeration. For data collection, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Psychological Security-Insecurity Questionnaire (PS-IQ) and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) were applied. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling in SPSS-26 and AMOS-25 software.

The results demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between a sense of security and perceived stress with life satisfaction. Further, a significant negative relationship was found between self-oriented perfectionism and community-oriented perfectionism with life satisfaction, but there was no significant relationship between other-oriented perfectionism and life satisfaction. Moreover, the findings revealed that a sense of security mediates the relationship between self-perfection and perceived stress with life satisfaction (p<0.05). If the sense of security increases among people, life satisfaction also increases

The research method of this study was composite and exploratory. In the qualitative part, the content of the scientific documents was first analyzed and classified, Moreover, 11 experts and subject matter experts, who were selected purposefully using the snowball method, were interviewed until saturation criterion was reached. In the quantitative part, survey and applied methods were used. The statistical population of this research included all employees of 10 prisons in Kermanshah province. Using stratified random sampling, 100 people were selected as a statistical sample. For the causal analysis of the presented model, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model have been conducted. The results of this research showed that in identifying the mental and social health training needs of prison employees in Kermanshah province, a number of 103 primary indicators were obtained. These indicators were then divided into 12 general factors and 2 categories of mental health and social health.
