the aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between personal attributes, attributional style and self distinctness with marital infidelity through irrational beliefs mediation. statistical universe included male and female married students of Azad University of Ramhormoz, out of which 230 students were chosen in a multi stage cluster sampling way. Data collection was done using marital infidelity inventory Dyrogoths(1999), short Neoform personality inventory Mckiery and costa(1985), attributional style inventory Patterson (1982), self distinctness inventory Skowron and Friendlander (1998), and the short form of irrational beliefs inventory Jones(1968). data analysis illustrated that neurosis and agreement had a direct positive effect on marital abjuration, but extroversion, conscientiousness, attributional style, and distinctness had a direct negative effect on it. openness had no negative, meaningful effect on marital abjuration. Results of Bootstrap analysis also showed that through irrational beliefes extroversion, openness, agreement, conscientiousness, attributioal style, and self distinctness had indirect effect on marital abjuration. according to the findings , personal attributes, attributional style, self distinctness, and irrational beliefes are predictive of marital abjuration. Therefore, including these factors in pre-marriage trainings and consultation would be of great importance.

This study aimed at investigating the effect of rational-emotive behavior therapy method on body mass index, weight self-efficacy, and body image among 14-18 year-old overweight teenage girls in Ahvaz. For this purpose, through public announcement and using available sampling method, 36 overweight persons were selected and randomly assigned to 3 groups, namely, the experiment, placebo, and waiting list. Subjects of the experiment group participated in twelve sessions (90 minutes each). Beside a diet and weekly weighting, they received psychological intervention. In placebo group, subjects also took part in twelve separate sessions. In addition to a dietary program and weekly weighing, they delivered their monitoring report forms weekly. The waiting list subjects received neither monitoring nor intervention. Data analysis, using covariance analysis, regarding body mass index, showed that there were meaningful differences in waiting list and experimental groups compared to placebo group. However, in post-test stage, the difference between experimental and placebo groups was not meaningful, but at the follow-up stage, the difference was significant. In other words, the two groups lost weight at the post-test stage, but, ten weeks later the placebo group re-gained weight, while the experimental group did not change. The results also showed that this therapeutic method resulted in an increase in weight self-efficacy and a decrease in dissatisfaction of body image in experiment group, at both the post-test and follow-up stages.
