The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of integrated transdiagnostic treatment on high-risk behaviors and self-esteem of adolescents.

In terms of purpose, the current research was of applied type and the method of conducting it was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with an experimental group and a control group and a three-month follow-up period. Therefore, the statistical population of the research included teenagers who had referred to a private counseling and psychotherapy center in the 11th district of Tehran in 2022. 30 people were selected by available sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (15 people) and a control group (15 people). Then, Ehrenreich-May et al.'s (2014) integrative meta-diagnostic treatment package was implemented on the test group. In order to collect data, the research tools included the Iranian Adolescent Risk Taking Scale (IARS) and the self-esteem questionnaire of Crocker et al. (2003).

The F value and significance level were calculated in the analysis of variance with repeated measurements in the variable of high-risk behaviors (F = 8.55 and P = 0.001) and self-worth (F = 8.98 and P = 0.001). It can be concluded that the intervention used in this research, i.e. integrative meta-diagnostic treatment as an independent variable, has significantly caused changes in the dependent variables (high-risk behaviors and sense of self-worth).

Based on the available findings, it can be concluded that integrative meta-diagnostic treatment can be useful to reduce high-risk behaviors and increase the sense of self-worth of adolescents.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of digital self-efficacy in the irrational beliefs of second year high school teenagers. The current research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population of the present study included all teenagers in the second year of high school studying in the academic year 2022-23 in the 3rd district of Tehran. Therefore, the sample size of the study was determined based on Morgan's table and considering the possibility of dropping 250 people. In order to sample with the purposeful and accessible sampling method, the statistical sample of the research was selected by referring to the boys and girls schools in the 3rd district of Tehran. The tools used to collect information included the Olfert and Schmidt Digital Self-Efficacy Scale (DSES) (2022) and the Jones Irrational Beliefs Questionnaire (IBQ-40) (1968). In this research, the collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, Pearson's correlation coefficient and univariate regression analysis. The results of regression analysis showed that digital self-efficacy can predict 19% of suicidal thoughts of the study sample. Also, the results showed that digital self-efficacy with a beta coefficient of -0.20 can negatively predict subjects' irrational beliefs (p<0.01). Therefore, it can be concluded that the irrational beliefs of teenagers can be predicted through digital self-efficacy.

Marriage has always been emphasized as the most important and the highest social custom to meet people's emotional needs. The main reasons for marriage are having love and affection for a partner and companion in life, satisfying emotional-psychological needs and increasing happiness and contentment. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of couple therapy with the EIS model on family resilience and marital satisfaction of couples.

In terms of the purpose, the current research was of an applied type, and in terms of the method, based on the research design and method, it was a semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design (with an experimental group and a control group and a three-month follow-up period). The statistical population used in the current study included all couples who referred to family counseling and couple therapy centers in Tehran's 10th district in 1401, and 40 people (20 couples) were selected from among these people using the purposeful sampling method and randomly were assigned into an experimental group (20 people or 10 couples) and a control group (20 people or 10 couples). Then, a couple therapy package based on the EIS model (Amini et al., 2021) was implemented on the test group. The research tools included Tellgen's positive and negative affect scale questionnaire (1985) and Spainer's marital adjustment scale (1976). In order to statistically analyze the data, analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni's post hoc test and SPSS software version 26 were used.

F value and significance level obtained in the variable of positive emotions (F = 5.41 and P = 0.001), negative emotions (F = 5.60 and P = 0.001) and marital adjustment (7.15) = F and P = 0.001) were calculated. It can be concluded that the independent variable (couple therapy with EIS model) has significantly changed the dependent variables (positive and negative emotions and marital adjustment). Therefore, it can be concluded that the changes made in the dependent variables were caused by the implementation of couple therapy with the EIS pattern on the experimental group. Also, the results of Bonferroni's post hoc test showed that these effects were stable.

Based on the available findings, it can be concluded that couple therapy with EIS model was effective on positive and negative emotions and marital adjustment of couples. Therefore, it is suggested that experts benefit from the techniques of this approach in their work.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy with the mediating role of self-compassion in students. The current research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population of the present study included all male students in the 9th district of Tehran who were studying in the second period of secondary school in the academic year 2022-23. Therefore, the sample size of the research was determined based on Kline's point of view of 300 people. In order to sample with the purposeful and available sampling method, the statistical sample of the research was selected by referring to the first secondary schools of the 9th district of Tehran. The tools used to collect information included Schwartz's General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1995), King's Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire (2008), and Neff's Self-Compassion Questionnaire (2003). The collected data were analyzed with AMOS and SPSS software and structural equation model. The direct effect of spiritual intelligence on self-compassion (β = 0.27 and t = 3.11) is significant. Also, the direct effect of spiritual intelligence on self-efficacy (β = 0.30 and t = 3.25) is significant. Finally, the direct effect of self-compassion on self-efficacy (β=0.33 and t=3.41) is also significant. The indirect effect of spiritual intelligence on self-efficacy is 0.09 and the total effect is 0.39. Therefore, it can be concluded that in the relationship between spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy, the variable of self-compassion as a mediator can strengthen this relationship.

The purpose of this research was to predict the dimensions of perfectionism based on positive and negative meta-emotions in students. The current research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population of the present study included all students of Azad University, Tehran branch. Therefore, the sample size of the study was determined based on Morgan's table and taking into account the probability of statistical drop and for more certainty, 250 people. In order to sample with the available sampling method by referring to the university and also distributing the questionnaire in the groups of students of Azad University of Tehran Branch in the social messengers, the statistical sample of the research was selected. The tools used to collect information included the standard positive and negative perfectionism questionnaire - Short et al. (1995) and the meta-emotions scale (MES). In this research, the collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, Pearson's correlation coefficient and univariate regression analysis. The results of regression analysis showed that positive meta-emotions can predict 9.5% of positive perfectionism and negative meta-emotions can predict 12.5% of negative perfectionism in the statistical sample of the study (p<0.01). It also showed that positive meta-emotions can predict positive perfectionism with a beta coefficient of 0.19 and negative meta-emotions can significantly and directly predict negative perfectionism with a beta coefficient of 0.20 (p < 0.01). Therefore, it can be concluded that the dimensions of perfectionism can be predicted by positive and negative meta-emotions.

The purpose of this research was to predict coping strategies based on epistemic trust and epistemic credulity in adolescents.

The current research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population of the present study included all adolescents aged 15 to 18 years who referred to the counseling centers of districts 1 to 5 of Tehran. Therefore, the sample size of the study was determined based on Morgan's table and taking into account the probability of statistical drop and for more certainty, 250 people. For the purpose of sampling, the statistical sample of the research was selected by referring to counseling centers and child and adolescent psychology clinics. The tools used to collect information included the cognitive credulity questionnaire of Campbell et al. (2021) and the coping strategies questionnaire of Lazarus (1988). In this research, the collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, Pearson's correlation coefficient and univariate regression analysis.

The results of regression analysis showed that cognitive trust can predict 10.6% of problem-oriented coping strategies and cognitive credulity can predict 10.2% of emotion-oriented coping strategies of the statistical sample of the study (p<0.01). It also showed that cognitive trust can predict problem-oriented coping strategies with a beta coefficient of 0.16 and cognitive credulity can significantly and directly predict emotion-oriented coping strategies with a beta coefficient of 0.15 (p < 0.01).

Therefore, it can be concluded that coping strategies can be predicted based on epistemic trust and epistemic credulity.
