The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Floor Time treatment on the behavioral activation system of children with autism.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 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). The statistical population used in this research included all children with autism disorder who visited the therapy centers of the 5th district of Tehran in 2022, and among these people, 40 people were selected using the purposive sampling method and were randomly assigned to an experimental group. (20 people) and a control group (20 people) were assigned. Then, the Floor Time Wells (2009) treatment package was implemented on the experimental group. In order to collect data, the research tool included the revised scale of sensitivity to reinforcement by Jackson (2009). 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. According to the F-value and the significance obtained for the behavioral activation system variable (F = 6.15 and P = 0.001), it can be concluded that the independent variable (Floor Time therapy) significantly changes the dependent variable (behavioral activation system). Therefore, it can be concluded that the changes in the dependent variables were caused by the implementation of Floor Time treatment on the experimental group. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that Floor Time treatment was effective on the behavioral activation system of children with autism. Therefore, it is suggested that experts benefit from the techniques of this approach in their work.

The purpose of this research was to predict the behavioral inhibition system based on intolerance of failure and difficulty in regulating emotions. 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 clients aged 20 to 30 in 2023 who had referred to private counseling and psychotherapy centers in District 3 of Tehran. Hence, the sample size of the research was determined to be 200 people based on Kline's (2016) view. For the purpose of sampling, the statistical sample of the research was selected using the targeted and available sampling method by referring or sending the questionnaire form to the relevant centers. The tools used to collect information included the revised scale of sensitivity to reinforcement by Jackson (2009), Harrington's failure tolerance questionnaire (2005), and Gratz and Roemer's (2004) emotional regulation difficulty questionnaire. Finally, the data obtained by completing the collected questionnaires were statistically analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression. Intolerance of failure with a beta coefficient of -0.22 and difficulty in regulating emotions with a beta coefficient of -0.24 can positively predict the behavioral inhibition system of subjects (p < 0.01). It also showed that intolerance of failure and difficulty in emotion regulation can predict 28.9% of the behavioral inhibition system in the statistical sample of the study. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is possible to predict the failure of the behavioral inhibition system of adolescents through the variables of difficulty in regulating emotions and intolerance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy on relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (ROCD) and experiential avoidance. 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 present study included all married women who referred to the psychotherapy centers of the 10th district of Tehran in 2022. Among these people, 40 people were selected using the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned to an experimental group (20 people) and a control group (20 people). Then, on the test group, the metacognitive therapy of Wells (2009) was implemented. In order to collect data, the research tools included the experiential avoidance questionnaire by Bond et al. (2007) and the relationship obsessive-compulsive questionnaire by Doron et al. (2012). 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 were obtained for the variable of experiential avoidance (F = 6.29 and P = 0.001) and relationship intellectual-practical obsession (F = 6.45 and P = 0.001). It can be concluded that the independent variable (metacognitive therapy) has significantly changed the dependent variables (experiential avoidance and relationship intellectual-practical obsession). Therefore, it can be concluded that the changes in the dependent variables were caused by the implementation of metacognitive therapy on the experimental group. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that metacognitive therapy was effective on experiential avoidance and relationship intellectual-practical obsession of married women. Therefore, it is suggested that experts benefit from the techniques of this approach in their work.

The purpose of this research was to predict mental well-being based on action control and psychological hardiness in 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 aged 12 to 18 in 2023 who had visited all private counseling and psychotherapy centers in district 9 of Tehran. Hence, the sample size of the study was determined to be 300 people based on Kline (2016). For the purpose of sampling, the statistical sample of the research was selected using the targeted and available sampling method by referring or sending the questionnaire form to the relevant centers. The tools used to collect information included Lang et al.'s Psychological Hardiness Scale (2004), Diefendorf's Action Control Scale (2000), and Ryff's Mental Well-Being Scale (2002). The results of regression analysis showed that psychological hardiness with a beta coefficient of 0.15 and action control with a beta coefficient of 0.16 can positively predict the subjects' mental well-being (p>0.01). Therefore, it can be concluded that the mental well-being of adolescents can be predicted through action control variables and psychological hardiness.

The purpose of the current research was to predict health promoting lifestyle based on positive emotions and psychological capital. 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 clients aged 20 to 30 in 2023 who had referred to private counseling and psychotherapy centers in District 3 of Tehran. Hence, the sample size of the research was determined to be 200 people based on Klein's (2016) view. For the purpose of sampling, the statistical sample of the research was selected using the targeted and available sampling method by referring or sending the questionnaire form to the relevant centers. The tools used to collect information included the positive and negative affect scale of Telgen and Watson (1985), the psychological capital scale of Luthans (2007) and the health-promoting lifestyle scale of Walker et al. (1995). Finally, the data obtained by completing the collected questionnaires were statistically analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression. Among the independent variables, positive emotions with a beta coefficient of 0.19 and psychological capital with a beta coefficient of 0.18 can positively predict the health-promoting lifestyle of subjects (p>0.01). It also showed that positive emotions and psychological capital can predict 23.1% of health promoting lifestyle in the statistical sample of the research. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is possible to predict the health-promoting lifestyle of adolescents through the variables of psychological capital and positive emotions.

The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the relationship between perfectionism and academic progress of second-secondary students in Tehran. This research is practical in terms of its purpose and its research method is descriptive correlation type. The statistical sample is 96 male and female secondary school students of Tehran city in 1400, who were selected using available sampling method. The tool for collecting information is Frost's 35-question perfectionism questionnaire. In this research, spss22 software was used to analyze the data obtained from descriptive indices (mean, variance, standard deviation and frequency charts) and inferential indices (Pearson's correlation coefficient) and to measure the relationship between variables. The results indicate that the worry about mistakes dimension of the perfectionism construct is not related to academic success. Then, doubt about applying the perfectionism structure has no relationship with academic success. The parental expectations aspect of the perfectionism construct is related to academic success. The dimension of parental criticism of the perfectionism construct is related to academic success. Then, the individual standards of the perfectionism structure are not related to academic success, and finally, the order (organization) of the perfectionism structure is not related to academic success. Therefore, it is recommended to hold meetings on the topic of family and children for parents with their children, so that parents realize that if they have high expectations from their children, it can have a lot of negative effects on them.
