The coefficient of explanation and the coefficient of explanation correction were 0.30, indicating that 30% of the changing (variance) in marital intimacy was related to the predictor variables (differentiation and security). The variance analysis show that the regression model fits well with the predictor and criterion variables and the changes explained by the model are real and not accidental. Analysis of regression coefficients shows that differentiation (= 0.33) and security (= 0.30) are able to predict the criterion variable.Adding the security variable to the model, increased the coefficient of explanation only 7% but this change is significant (P <0.01). Finally, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between intimacy and differentiation of self and psychological security and with increasing differentiation of self and psychological security, intimacy among non-clinical married women..

Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method. Analysis of rudarbaysti-based phenomenal experiences of women with low intimacy in marital relationships led to extraction of 11 main themes: Participants' perceptions of the concept, Areas of occurrence, Reasons for rudarbaysti from the perspective of subject, How of rudarbaysti occurrence, Cognitive, Emotional, Relational, Physical-psychological consequences of rudarbaystis, Positive consequences, Effective factors on quitting, and Consequences of quitting rudarbaysti.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in mental health and prevention of relapse in drug-dependent people. In this quasi-experimental study, 112 individuals who have started Methadone treatment in the two Drug-Abuse Treatment Centers in Tehran are divided into an experimental (56 subjects) and a control (56 subjects) group. The experimental group undergoes 12 90-minute sessions of cognitive-behavioral group therapy and the control group does not receive any particular treatment. All participants complete the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and undergo urine tests for morphine at the beginning of the study, at the end of the cognitive-behavioral group therapy and two months after the completion of treatment. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2, Post hoc test and multiple analysis of variance. The MANOVA data analysis shows a significant difference between the two groups regarding the mental health in the post-test stage (p<0. 001). χ2 test results indicate significant difference in the rate of relapse in the two groups (p<0.001). As a result, cognitive behavioral group therapy is effective in the improvement of general health and prevention of relapse in drug- dependent individuals.

AbstractThe attitude toward spouse’s emotion expression is one of the possible factors affecting intimacy. This study intended to compare the attitudes toward spouse’s emotion express among women with high and low level of intimacy. A qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological method was used in this study. The study population includes married women in Tehran 2021. Considering saturation principle and using a purposive sampling method, a sample of 20 individuals was selected. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews and their analysis was done with the seven-step method of Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis. Data analysis led to seven main themes in each group. The main themes extracted from the group of high emotional intimacy were: “comprehensive and positive perspective”, “flexibility”, “belief in the role of self-agency”, “necessity of facilitating conversations”, “necessity of determining common and private boundaries”, “necessity of regulating expressiveness” and “attitude dependent on emotion and its motivating factor”; The main themes extracted from the low emotional intimacy group included “negative and limited perspective”, “inflexibility”, “low self-confidence”, “role of rationality in managing emotion”, “non-expression of emotion as its absence”, “gender-related expectations” and “labels and expectations forming attitude”. Based on the results it seems that the differences in the attitudes of these two groups are often based on the degree of flexibility and realism towards spouse’s emotion expression and also considering one's own role in this regard.

The aim of this investigation is to compare the effectiveness of three treatments including diet, diet with exercise and diet with cognitive behavioral therapy on weight loss and improved life satisfaction in male employees with obesity and overweight in National Iranian Drilling Company. The statistical population consists of the National Iranian Drilling Company employees who are overweight or obese. Of the 235 volunteers, 60 are selected to participate in the study and randomly divided into three groups, each consisting of 20 people. This study is a quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. Weight and life satisfaction of subjects are examined by electronic weight scale and Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale three times. In order to analyze the data, covariance analysis and Repeated-measures test are administered using SPSS-19. The results show that using diet with exercise and diet with cognitive behavioral therapy methods leads to a significant weight loss while diet therapy alone does not decrease the weight significantly. Diet with cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective in weight loss than diet with exercise. Other results show that the treatment by diet with cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in increasing the life satisfaction. It can therefore be concluded that not only does diet with cognitive behavioral therapy cause weight loss like diet with exercise, it also enhances the life satisfaction in individuals.

In recent years, experts have been seeking to evaluate and compare the validity and efficiency of psychological interventions and medical treatment in migraine and tension headaches. In this regard, meta-analysis determines the effect of the type of treatment by unifying the results gained from different studies. The present research aims at examining the effectiveness of the said two types of treatments on reducing the symptoms of migraine and tension headaches using meta-analysis research pattern. For this purpose, 21 studies out of 45 studies acceptable in terms of methodology are selected and meta-analysis was conducted on them. The research instrument is the meta-analysis checklist. The findings show that the effect size of psychological intervention on decreasing the symptoms of migraine and tension headaches is 0.64 (p≤0.01). The effect size of medical treatment turns out to be 0.33 (p≤0.01). It can therefore be concluded that the effect size of psychological intervention is large and that of the medical treatment is medium according to Cohen’s effect size table.
