This study aimed to meta-analyze the effectiveness of interventions on students' referential thinking. The statistical population of the research was master's theses, doctoral dissertations, and research published in the field of interventions in magazines and scientific conferences of the country during the last ten years (2011-2021) in the field of educational interventions on student’s referrals thinking that had a suitable sample size and met the necessary conditions in terms of validity and reliability of the measurement tool and sampling method. Therefore, seven methodologically acceptable studies were selected and a meta-analysis was performed on them. The research tool was a meta-analysis checklist. The implementation stages of this meta-analysis were based on the meta-analysis stages of identity and Kramer. The results showed that the effect size of educational interventions on students' referrals thinking was relatively higher than 0.55. The most important point is that teaching cognitive-metacognitive strategies was more considered by researchers and had a higher effect on reducing students' referral thinking.

Marital conflicts are among the issues that can cause damage to the family foundation. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of attachment-oriented couple therapy on anxiety sensitivity and emotion regulation in women with marital conflict. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the current study included all women with marital conflicts who referred to the counseling centers of Arak City in the six months of summer and autumn of 2022, from whom 24 people were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 12 people in experimental and control groups. Attachment-oriented couple therapy was held in the form of 8 sessions of 90 minutes and one session per week for the experimental group. Also, to evaluate the intervention's effect, the participants answered the questionnaires on the emotion regulation of Gross and John (2003) and the anxiety sensitivity of Floyd et al. (2005). Data were also analyzed by the Yeoman-Whitney test and SPSS-23 software. The results showed that attachment-oriented couple therapy increased the level of emotional inhibition and re-evaluation (emotional regulation) and reduced physical anxiety, lack of cognitive control of physical anxiety, lack of cognitive control, and fear of observation (anxiety sensitivity) (P<0.05). Attachment-based couple therapy can decrease marital conflict, especially emotional and anxiety conflicts, and increase the quality of married life.

The study population consisted of adolescents with cancer in Isfahan City, Iran. Research samples were selected by convenience sampling method (N=150). To collect data, Hazan and Shaver Attachment Styles in Adults Inventory and Wong Death Attitude Inventory were used. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and Enter method of Multiple Regression. The results showed that secure, avoidant, and ambivalent attachment styles could significantly predict fear of death in adolescents with cancer, and in general, 26 percent of the changes in fear of death were explained by attachment styles.:In general, the results of this research showed that the fear of death can be predicted based on attachment styles in adolescents with cancer.

The purpose of this study is to study the relationship between self-compassion and cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction. The statistical population of the study included all married women living in Ahvaz, from which 100 people were selected as a sample by the available non-random sampling method. The Reiss Questionnaire (2011) was used to measure self-compassion; the Dennis and Vanderwall Questionnaire (2010) was used for cognitive flexibility; and the Diner Questionnaire (1985) was used for life satisfaction. The Pearson correlation test and stepwise regression were used to analyze the results. Findings showed that life satisfaction has a positive and significant relationship with the overall score of self-compassion (r= 0.516) and cognitive flexibility (r= 0.516), and these two predictor variables can predict 26% of life satisfaction. Therefore, it can be concluded that self-compassion and cognitive flexibility play an important role in life satisfaction. Therefore, in training programs for married women, education in these two components can be prioritized to increase life satisfaction. In addition, the use of third-generation therapies, to the extent that they are related to these two components, will have a good therapeutic effect on married women.

The research population was all married women whose terms of marriage were under 5 years and their ages were between 20 and 40 years in Tabriz city. A sample of 45 married women was selected by using the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups, a group for training reality therapy and a group for self-differentiation training (each group was 15), and a control group (15 people). To collect data, the pre-test, and post-test stages, the Marital intimacy questionnaire (Bagarozzi, 2001), and the assertiveness questionnaire (Gambbridge & Richie, 1975) were used.
