This study is a cross-sectional-comparative post event. The statistical universe of this research includes all men and women suffering from migraine headaches, and all healthy men and women in Ardabil in 1390 (A.H.). The subjects were 30 patients suffering from migraine headaches referred to psychological, neurological, and brain clinics selected by convenience sampling method, as well as 30 healthy people selected by cloning method (based on age, education level, and social-economical status. To collect data, the questionnaires of irrational beliefs, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being were used. The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and correlational coefficient showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups "Migraine sufferers and Healthy people" in terms of three variables of "self-efficacy, irrational beliefs, and psychological well-being" in the level of P≥0.01.

The aime of the present study is to investigate the role of Sexual Self-Schema and body image on Sexual function of married female nurses....... Statistical population of the present study consist of all married female nurses of Tehran government hospitals. from which 200 individuals were selected by stratified sampling method. They Completed Sexual Self-Schema scale, Fisher Body image Quisetionnier and Female Sexual Function Index. 190 Quisetionnaier were fully answered and were considered...... The results of the regression analyses revealed that there were significant relationship between Passionate - Romantic and Embarrassed –Conservative subscales and sexual function. Body satisfaction significantly correlated with desirable sexual function........ findings showed that Sexual Self-Schema and Body image can predict sexual function.

The present study examined role of coping styles and personality traits in eating- disordered behaviors. 331 students from Tehran university, were randomly selected using cluster sampling method. All participants filled out eating attitudes test (EAT-26), Ways of coping Questionnaire (WOCQ) and Five Factor Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI). Length, weight and body mass index were measured. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, and multivariate regression. The results revealed significant correlations between eating- disordered behaviors and Emotion-oriented coping, Task-orientated coping, agreeableness, neuroticism and Conscientiousness Personality traits. Multivariate regression data revealed that Emotion-oriented coping, Conscientiousness and agreeableness Personality traits might explain 17.5% of eating- disordered behaviors variance.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Brief Religious Coping Scale (BRCS, Pargament, Koenig & Perez, 2000) among male and female cancer patients. 155 cancer patients (119 female, 36 male) completed the Brief Religious Coping Scale. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods and internal consistency coefficients were used to compute the BRCS's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. The results of principal component analysis (PC) with varimax rotation replicated 2-factor structure of positive and negative religious coping strategies for cancer patients. Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the 2 extracted factors for the Brief Religious Coping Scale. Internal consistency coefficients for positive and negative religious coping strategies were 0/85 and 0/80, respectively. In sum, BRCS appears to be a good instrument that does what it was intended to do: assess religious methods of coping in an efficient, psychometrically sound, and theoretically meaningful manner.
