Introduction The entry of women into the workplace has changed the traditional roles of the family, which can cause instability and marital conflicts in the dual-career couples. The purpose of the present study sought to study simultaneously the quality of work life and the enrichment of marital life on marital conflicts and marital instability of dual- career couples in Illam. Method The design of this research is quasi-experimental, with pre-test, post-test, and fallow-up with control group. The statistical population includes all married couples from the city of Illam who were married from the beginning of March 2012 to the beginning of March 2017, and have goverment jobs. For this purpose, 80 (40 couples) of dual- career couples were selected usingmulti-stage cluster sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group received Quality of Work Life and Relationship Enhancement programs together, during the 13 sessions of 90 minutes. The instruments of this study were Marital Conflict Questionnaire and Marriage Instability Index. Results The results show that simultaneously the quality of work life and the enrichment of marital life training have been able to reduce marital conflicts (F = 17.78, p < 0.01) and marital instability (F = 41.03, p < 0.01). The marital life enrichment training reduced family conflict and instability by improving family interaction. The quality of work life training also contributed to the improvement of the work environment, which reduced the contradictions and conflicts in the workplace. Discussion Therefore, the simultaneous training of working life quality and enriching marital life prevent overflowing work and family problems. This also improves relationships in the family and work, and as a result reduce marital conflicts and instability.

Introduction The system of education, like other systems, has its own principles and characteristics. One of the essential features of this evaluation is the provision of useful feedback, through which one can identify important educational goals and, among other things, examine the important needs for language learning. Unless appropriate feedback is given, students are reluctant, and desperate to overcome academic barriers. Understanding the factors that facilitate academic achievement can have implications for learning and education. On the other hand, the failure and weakness of students in learning English will reduce the resiliency of education and the meaning of education, so students do not learn English or try and retry to improve their performance in learning this language. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of corrective feedback (written and verbal) of teachers in formative evaluation on educational resiliency and meaning of education of ninth grade male students in Khorramabad city. Method This is a quasi-experimental study in which the pretest-posttest and control group was used. The statistical population of this study included all male high school students in Khorramabad city in the academic year of 2016-17. A multistage cluster sampling method was used to select the sample members. The sample consisted of 40 subjects selected by multistage cluster sampling method and were randomly assigned to experimental group and control group. The data were collected from questionnaires, namely, Meaning of Education of Henderson-King and Smith and Academic Resilience Scale of Samuels. Results Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. Covariance analysis showed significant differences between the two groups. The results showed that there is a difference between the two groups at least in terms of one of the dependent variables. To find out this difference, a one way analysis of covariance analysis was performed. The results showed that the effect was equal to %59. Fifty-nine percent of the individual differences in the scores was from components of academic vibration and the meaning of education. The results of single-variable covariance showed that the effects of experimental intervention on increasing academic survival and the meaning of education were %61 and %59, respectively, meaning that %61 of the total variance of academic and %59 of the variance of the meaning of education were related to the effect of the experimental intervention. Discussion The proper corrective feedback function emphasizes improving student performance and enhances students' self-esteem in achieving goals and improving performance by utilizing a self-serving and empowering one, which increases productivity, effort and self-confidence. Effective written feedback to students, in addition to informing them about their weaknesses and strengths, also influences personality and motivation, in the way that the students come to believe that they are important. Thus it can be concluded that written and verbal feedback, suggested by Butler and Wine model, can be effective. If the teachers, in their formative assessment can provide feedback to the students, they can increase the level of their resiliency and meaning of education significantly.

Introduction Depression ranges among the most impairing mental disorders worldwide, and its early detection is a global health priority (Gundel, Pedersen, Munk-Olsen, and Dalsgaard, 2018). The World Health Organization recently announced depression, particularly in adolescents and young adults, as especially important, and selected this impairing mental disorder for their World Health Day 2017 (The World Health Organization, 2017). Depression is associated with higher negative thoughts (Giy, 2014), increased risk of suicide (Laursen, Musliner, Benros, Vestergaard and Munk-Olsen, 2016) and lower life quality (Vojta, Kinosian, Glick, Altshuler and Bauer, 2010). Identifying groups at high-risk of developing depression is an important public health concern and aids clinicians to diagnose the disorder earlier, can potentially reduce individual, familial and societal costs. The research was purposed to investigate the effects of choice theory implementation on negative automatic thoughts, cogitating suicide and quality of life in depressed clients in therapeutic clinics of Ahvaz. Material and Method The sample consisted of 30 subjects of the mentioned population whom were selected randomly via simple random sampling procedure. The participants were allocated to two experimental and control groups, 15 each. The research design was a pretest-posttest with control group and follow up. Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire- 30 (ATQ-30, Kendall and Hollon, 1980), Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI) (1991) and WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHO QoL-BREF, 2000) were utilized as data source. The two groups were pretested. Choice theory based intervention was implemented for 8 sessions, 90 minutes each, on experimental group. The control group received none. Then the two groups were post tested and one month follow-up was finally proceeded. To analyze data, multiple analysis of covariance (MANCOA) and one way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used as statistical main procedures. Results The results indicated decreasing negative automatic thoughts and suicide cogitation but increasing the life quality in depressed individuals. The results were persistent after one month follow-up. Discussion Choice theory, with the seven caring habits, supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting and negotiating differences replaces external control and the seven deadly habits, criticizing, blaming, complaining, nagging, threating, punishing and bribing (rewarding to control). The only person whose behavior we can control is our own. All we can give another person is information. All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems. The relationship problem is always part of our present life. What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future. We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our Quality World. All we do is behave. All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology. All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think. All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is the most recognizable. While the choice theory implementation via controlling the feeling and through how we choose to act and think demolishing negative automatic thoughts, lowering suicide cogitation risks and finally elevating quality of life. Conclusion The results confirmed the effects of choice theory implementation on negative automatic thoughts, suicide cogitation and quality of life in depressed individuals while the outcome was continuing to endure over a prolonged period.

Introduction Teaching the skills and strategies of emotional regulation can be influential in individuals' adjustment and can function as a preventive factor in the relationship between background factors and adjustment. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of teaching the cognitive regulation of emotion strategies on social adjustment and well being of male students in gifted junior high schools in Ahvaz. Method The study employed a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design including a two-month interval follow-up. The research population included all male students from gifted junior high schools in Ahvaz, in the academic year of 2016-2017 (n = 538). Data was collected through multi-stage cluster sampling. From a list, 30 students who possessed the criterion to enter the study were selected and randomly assigned to experimental or control group. The research instruments included theSinha and Singh's Adjustment Inventory for High School Students Questionnaire, Granefski and Kraaij Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Kaplan and Maher's School Well-Being Questionnaire. Both groups underwent a pretest, posttest and a two- month follow-up. In implementing the treatment, the experimental group received instruction on the skills of cognitive regulation of emotion for 20 hours in 10 sessions, while the control group received no instruction. Results The results of mixed ANOVA indicated that teaching the cognitive regulation of emotion strategies had affected the academic, emotional and social adjustment, as well as school wellbeing of the students from gifted junior high schools in Ahvaz. In addition, results indicated that in the posttest and the follow up, there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the degree of academic, emotional and social adjustments, as well as school wellbeing. Discussion Based on the findings, it can be concluded that teaching the skills of cognitive regulation of emotion can be employed as a useful intervention method to enhance adjustment (emotional, social and academic) and also school wellbeing, leading to a higher efficacy of students with adjustment and behavioral problems.

Introduction Effective communication and the establishment of a good communication pattern between husband and wife have a prominent role in marital satisfaction and can play a crucial role in creating a sense of security and happiness for couples. The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis, examining the effectiveness of life skills training on the marital satisfaction of couples. Method For this purpose, the meta-analysis method was used as a statistical method to determine, collect, combine and summarize the research results associated with effectiveness of life skills training on marital satisfaction. To find and collect all research reports, internal databases such as, Magiran, SID, Ensani, Noomags, and Civilica, were used. Among all the studies conducted in Iran between 2010 and 2017, the articles that were methodologically appropriate in terms of population, sample size, research method, sampling method and measurement tools, have been included in the present study. Finally, 18 studies with the necessary criteria have been analyzed. Data was analyzed using standardized mean difference effect size method or Cohen's d (1988) for fixed effect model. All statistical operations were accomplished by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis, Version 2.0 (CMA-2). Results Results showed that the mean effect size of mixed-model for fixed effect model and for random effect model were significant (p < 0.001), 1.555 and 1.925 respectively. Since the effect sizes were heterogeneous, moderating variables were examined. The results indicated that in terms of research design, gender, type of training, number of life skills training and status of participant, there were significant differences between effect sizes across the studies (p < 0.05). Conclusions Overall, teaching basic life skills increased marital satisfaction in Iranian couples. However, it appears that some factors had negatively influenced the effectiveness of these studies. More studies are needed to determine the reasons for the low impact of these interventions.

Introduction Chronic fatigue syndrome is a complex disabling disorder and the symptoms of the disease are common. It can be named as weakness, muscle aches, memory weakness and mental disorientation, insomnia, chest pain, confusion, night sweats, weight loss and psychiatric problems such as depression and early suffering, anxiety, and so on. People with this syndrome, often show the occurrence of a unique fatigue that differs from other symptoms of fatigue. Most patients with diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome, also receive some diagnostic criteria for psychiatry, in particular, anxiety and depression disorders. Method The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on fatigue, anxiety, depression of staff of Islamic Azad university, Isfahan (Khorasgan) branch, suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. Research method was quasi-experimental with a pre- and post-test design with a control group. For this purpose, 200 staff, according to Cohen et al. (2000), who had entry criteria for research, were selected by a randomized sampling method and responded to chronic fatigue syndrome (Jason, 2010), and quality of life questionnaire (Ware and Hays,1998). Twenty-eight persons who received diagnosis of fatigue syndrome were selected and assigned randomly to experimental and control groups (each group 14 persons). The subjects in the two groups, before and after intervention, and one month later, answered to research instruments, including fatigue scale (Chalder, 1993), hospital anxiety and depression scale (Zigmond and Snaith, 1983). Mindfulness based cognitive therapy was applied to experimental group, in 8 sessions with each session of 90 minutes, but no intervention was carried out in control group. Results For data analysis, multiple analysis of covariance was used. Findings indicated a reduction in means of fatigue, anxiety and depression in experimental group, in comparison to control group (p ≤ 0.05). Findings indicated that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has been effective on fatigue, anxiety and depression of staff with chronic fatigue syndrome. Conclusions Based on the findings of this research, reduction of fatigue, anxiety, and depression in staff suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be a useful as intervention.

Introduction Regarding to today's competitive world and the key role of human resources in the success and failure of organizations and the importance of employees' emotions in their mental health and their psychological well-being, this study aimed to investigate the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on psychological health and emotional commitment of employees, with the moderating role of emotional intelligence and psychological capital. The emotional labor was first introduced in 1983 by the American sociologist Hochschild, and then attracted much attention. Hochschild (1983) believed it has two types: surface acting and deep acting. Surface acting occurs when a person expresses particular emotions without really experiencing them. In other words, the person adjusts the feelings that he expresses and considers himself merely as an actor. On the other hand, a deep acting occurs when a person experiences the feelings he expresses. Hochschild (1983) stated that managing occupational excitement (deep acting) requires a lot of effort and it costs a lot to the person. Mental health is one of the variables that dissonance emotions can affect it. Carl Menanger's (1990) definition of mental health is that the individual compromises with the world around him/her as much as possible, so that his/her effective and beneficial happiness can be fully realized. Another factor that has been examined as the result of dissonance emotions in this study is emotional commitment. commitment as "the degree of identification of a person with a particular organization and the degree of involvement and engagement with that organization." The emotional commitment refers to the linkage and replication of the employee with the organization. Increasing emotional commitment means increasing the sense of loyalty, belonging, and solidity (Meyer, Allen and Smith, 1993). Considering the existing research background, a number of variables can be considered as moderating the relationship between disagreement with mental health and emotional commitment. In this study, the role of emotional intelligence and psychological capital has been investigated. Method The statistical population of this study was all employees of all branches of Maskan Bank of Ahvaz. Multi-stage random sampling was used to collect the data. In this research, 121 employees of Ahvaz branch of Sepah bank participated. Since the present study was descriptive, Pearson correlation and regression tests were used to describe and analyze the demographic characteristics of descriptive variables such as mean and standard deviation, as well as to test the research hypotheses. The analyzes were performed using SPSS version 22 software. In this study, for collecting data, the questionnaire of the imposition of dissonant emotions (Naring et al., 2000), mental health (Goldberg & Hiller, 1979), emotional commitment (Allen & Meyer, 1990), emotional intelligence (Shot et al., 1998) and psychological capital (Lutans et al., 2007), were used. Results The results of regression analysis showed that the imposition of dissonant emotions has a significant role in decreasing mental health and emotional commitment of employees. In addition, emotional intelligence and psychological capital managed to modify the relationship between these variables. In other words, emotional intelligence and psychological capital were able to reduce the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on mental health and emotional commitment. Accordingly, it is suggested to design and implement a series of educational programs to increase emotional intelligence and psychological capital in order to reduce the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on the mental health and emotional commitment of employees. Conculsion Accordingly, it is suggested to design and implement a series of educational programs to increase emotional intelligence and psychological capital in order to reduce the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on the mental health and emotional commitment of employees.

Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the school success program and stress management on self-efficacy, involvement, burnout and academic performance of students in district 1 of Ahvaz city. The school's success program is a preventive program based on a multidimensional therapeutic and corrective approach, and it focuses on increasing academic success and self-esteem, self-concept, self-efficacy, feeling relaxation at school, self-centered and school-oriented attitudes and goal oriented. Stress is a risk factor for health. Several studies have shown that students with high stress have raised more complaints at both physical and mental health levels. Students with high stress tend to perceive exams as hazardous or threatening in comparison with students with low stress. The sample was all male high school students in the first grade of the district one of Ahvaz city in the year 2017-2018. Method The statistical population of this study was all first-year high school students in the first grade of Ahvaz city, district one in 2017-2018. From this statistical population, a sample of 270 participants was selected through cluster random sampling. After performing a pre-test, 60 students were randomly assigned to all the first grade students and assigned to two experimental groups (each group with 20 participants) and one control group (20 participants). The present study included a pilot study with pre-test and post-test with a control group. The self-efficacy questionnaire (Morgan), academic involvememnt questionnaire (Zerang), academic burnout (Bersu et al.), and academic performance of students (the mean scores of academic grades in both the first and second academic semester) were used to measure the variables. School success and stress management interventions were considered for 10 sessions, (each session was two hours). Results Multivariate analysis of variance showed that success styles interventions and stress management increased self-efficacy, academic involvement and academic performance, while reducing academic burnout. Succeeding in school can play an important role in students' education. Discussion The two types of training can be used as complementary or supplementary programs to improve academic performance. This success method can play an important role in student education as it is in complete concordance with students' target learning activities.

Introduction Mathematics teaching has important role in people mental and social improvement. In current digital world, teaching math is increasingly necessary, but many problems may occur in students’ functioning in math. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of George Polya’s mathematics method on problem solving skill and math achievements of fifth grade female students in Dezful. Method This research was a quasi-experimental research with the design of non-equivalent groups. Three female primary schools from three different social-economical regions of Dezful, "uptown, city center, downtown", were selected by cluster random sampling method. In each school, two 5th grade classes were selected. Then, one class was assigned randomly to experimental group and the other one as the control group. The number of the students in each group was 65 persons. Research instrument was a descriptive researcher-made test that implemented in two steps (pre-test and post-test). This descriptive 20 items test included 5 main questions. Each question included 4 minor questions that assessed components such as comprehension, strategy selection, calculation and assessment, in the way of George Poliya`s problem solving. The validity of the test was confirmed by some experts in education. For investigating the reliability, Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.81. Univariate and multivariate analysis of variance was used to analysis data. Findings The findings showed that the mean scores of experimental group had a significant increase in post-test, in comparison to pre-test; that means teaching problem solving skills has a significant positive impact on the students’ achievement. The highest effect was on comprehension (ŋ2 = 0.57), strategy selection (ŋ2 = 0.56) and review (ŋ2 = 0.57), and the lowest effect was on calculation (ŋ2 = 0.42). Conclusion Based on these finding, we can say that problem solving is a learnable skill, and must be taught to reach academic progress, especially in mathematics. By teaching this skill, the important part of academic disappointment of students in math can be diminished.

Introduction The divorce process has many psychological and social consequences for individuals, which it often takes a long time after divorce to get the person out of turmoil and sometimes requires interventional methods to speed up the process of returning to normal life, confront incompatible and ineffective thoughts and social isolation, and maintain the overall health. So the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of schema therapy on general health, rumination, and loneliness of divorced women. Method The research method was a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population consisted of all divorced women referring to counseling centers in Sari city, in 2017. The sample consisted of 20 persons in each experimental and control group (40 samples in total), which were selected randomly. Also, the criteria for entry of the sample groups into the research were: divorced with no child, aged 20-40 years old, resident of Sari city, no obvious physical illness based on physician examinations and routine tests requested, no obvious psychotic and mood disorders in individuals based on clinical interviews by the psychiatrist, based on the criteria of the fifth Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In this research, three questionnaires, the SELSA-S Loneliness Scale, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Nullen Hoeksma and Marrow Rumination Questionnaire (RRS), and Schema Therapy Protocol were used. Questionnaires were provided to them after explaining the purpose of the research and obtaining informed consent from the participants and assuring them of confidentiality of the information. In general, no one was excluded from the study in the two groups. Also, a multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. Results The results of this study, using multivariate analysis of covariance, showed that schema therapy significantly improved the health and decreased rumination and loneliness of divorced women. Specifically, schema therapy can reduce loneliness, increase general health and decrease ruminating of divorced women. Conclusion The findings show that schema therapy causes changes in the cognitive, experimental, emotional, and behavioral fields. This approach has been effective in challenging maladaptive schemas and ineffective responses and replacing them with better and more responsive thoughts and responses. It is recommended that advisers and therapists’ use the schema therapy rules to rehabilitate women after divorce, in order to increase their general health and reduce rumination and facilitate social relationships.
