The aim of study was compare the effectiveness of the developed package of promoting couples' interpersonal relationships based on emotion-oriented approach and cognitive-behavioral marital counseling on marital attachment and commitment. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. The statistical population included couples with marital conflicts who referred to counseling centers in Tehran, where 30 couples were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into three groups (10 couples in each group). One group received 12-session training package to promote couples' interpersonal relationships based on emotional approach, and a group received 12 sessions of cognitive-behavioral marital counseling; but the control group did not receive any intervention. Research instruments included marital conflict, marital commitment and adult attachment scales. Research data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-25 software. The results showed the emotion-oriented approach compared to the control group has a significant effectiveness and stability on all aspects of attachment and marital commitment (p <0.05) and compared to cognitive-behavioral marital counseling group, more effective on all three dimensions of attachment and structural commitment (p <0.05). Cognitive-behavioral group in post-test stage had a significant effect on two dimensions of attachment (avoidance and anxiety) (p <0.05) that these effects were not stable (p <0.05) but showed significant lasting effects on all dimensions of Marital commitment (p <0.05). The results showed that the use of the emotion-oriented approach compared to cognitive-behavioral intervention to improve attachment and marital commitment of couples with marital conflict has priority.

This study was conducted with the aim of comparison of two cognitive- behavioral methods (with an emphasis on Beck and Alices's pattern) and training time management strategies (with an emphasis on Luis and Tracy's model) in an effort to alleviate procrastination and perfectionism of university students. The sample consisted of 80 students who were identified as procrastination and perfectionism through a test tapping the same constructs. They were placed randomly into two groups: experimental and control. In order to avoid subject loss, all subjects were placed into three groups: cognitive-behavioral (n=27), time management strategies (n=27), and the control group (n=26). The results of a covariance showed that there was a significant difference between perfectionism and procrastination among the groups under study. Results also showed that procrastination and perfectionism dropped significantly in the cognitive- behavioral group and time management group in comparison with the control group. But, a significant difference was not found between the two experimental groups in terms of procrastination and perfectionism. We can say that both cognitive-behavioral method and time management strategies were effective in alleviating perfectionism and procrastination. But, the former was more effective although no significant differences were found.
