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.

The present study aims to determine the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy based on Hofmann’s model for decreasing symptoms of social anxiety disorder. 12 subjects with social anxiety disorder were selected using Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (SCID-IV). 6 subjects were randomly selected to be included in the test group and 6 subjects were included in the control group. The test group received CBT based on Hofmann’s model and the control group waited. Examinations showed that the 2 groups matched demographically. Subjects completed the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS-SR), and The Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE) questionnaires before, immediately after and 1.5 months after the end of treatment/ waiting. The results of analyses indicated that the independent variable (CBT based on Hofmann’s model) had a significant effect on the dependent variable (SPIN, LSAS-SR, BFNE) in repeated measurements (pre-test, post-test and follow up). Generally, the results were indicative of the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy based on Hofmann’s model (2007) for decreasing different components of social anxiety disorder; as the efficacy was maintained from post-test to follow-up stage.

The sample of study was consisted of 68 students whith social phobia disorder who were selected using available sampling from among patients who were seeking treatment at Online and Presence Consultation Center of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, and then assigned in three experimental groups and one control group. In this research Social Phobia Inventory and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders were used. The results showed that there was significant difference between cognitive behavioral therapy (web- based and software package) in comparison with control group in reducing scores of social phobia inventory but there was no significant difference between the two methods in terms of their effectiveness. Furthermore, there was significant difference between two mentioned methods and clinical intervention, in a way that clinical intervention was more effective than the other methods. Results indicate that computerized cognitive behavioral therapy is a feasible and acceptable method in treatment of social phobia disorder.
