Data were analyzed by descriptive and correlation indices and stepwise regression and using SPSS 22 software.Data analysis showed that , the multiple correlation coefficient of the predictor variables with the criterion was 0.55, indicating a moderate and higher relationship between the predictor variables and the criterion variable. 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..

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Teaching Emotion Regulation Based on Gross Model in Reducing Impulsivity in smokers. The research method was semi-experimental and was use of the unequal control group design. For this purpose, 30 smoker students of Islamic Azad University of Hamedan were selected and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. First, Barrett's Impulsivity Scale (1997), was performed for both groups. Then, the experimental group received a teaching emotion regulation based on Gross model for 8 sessions. But the control group did not receive any training. After completing the training, Barrett's impulsivity scale was again performed for both groups. Analysis of data using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANOVA) showed that emotional regulation training based on Gross model has a positive effect on reducing the impulsivity of smokers, & on cognitive impulsivity, motor impulsivity, non-planning impulsivity. The results showed that Grass's emotion regulation training had an effect on the impulsivity of smokers and reduced impulsivity. Since smokers are exposed to negative emotions, they are likely to be unplanned and impacted; therefore, emotional regulation training based on Grass's model can be effective in reducing the impulsivity of smokers.

Documents which are set for the fundamental transformation of the education system in Iran discuss only three counseling models, including educational, vocational and agreement types; and they neglect guidance models generally, let alone indigenous ones, in particular. Applying three proposed models do not lead into achieving all the objectives of the documents and there is a serious need to models appropriate for reaching all the documents goals and perspectives.
Furthermore, while only guidance makes prevention possible, it needs executive models, proper structure and organization and duty description for all the school personnel.
This article is a response to required guidance models for the fundamental transformation of the education system, and is the result of two previous researches done under the title of “guidance content analysis in Quran” and “qualitative theme analysis of triple documents”.
Through six innovative models which are introduced here, ten previous common models are criticized and their differences and commonalities are revealed. Three of the ten are among consultant models which should be applied only by the consultant of the school; the rest overlap six innovative models, encompassing "Knowledge, Faith and Good Practice", "Insight", "Access to the Hidden Truth", "Justification", "Judgment" and "Spiritual Guidance", altogether, in spite of some differences.
By the six proposed models, students might enjoy school attendance and reach their full potential.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between popular concepts of abnormal attention to self and to develop a conceptual process model of those concepts in Islamic sources and to assess its validity. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used for this purpose. In the qualitative section, first, using semantic domains method collected from 262 related words, 3105 Islamic narratives were analyzed using purposeful sampling based on saturation principle. The final narratives were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method of Sieh and Shannon (2005) through conventional content analysis and three open, axial and selective coding steps. Subsequently, the causal components of the components were merged and the relationships between the components, the causal conditions, and the consequences were examined and the initial process model was designed. In the quantitative section, the degree of consistency of the coding findings with the documents and the degree of fit to the components were validated by 11 experts, and the degree of consistency between the findings was correlated with the documentation by 5 experts by calculating the content validity index. The findings of the research showed that combining the common causal conditions of not knowing one's self or its status, not knowing God or His status and self-giving independently leads to self-indulgence and on the other hand combining the causal specific conditions of selfishness, self-esteem, intrinsic interest in Visibility and infiniteness create three components of self-efficacy, self-efficacy, and self-enhancement. Also, each of these components are self-generating cognitive-behavioral consequences.

Personality is one of the important topics and fundamental concepts in psychology science, so that by recognizing and reviewing it can be scientifically explained by human behavior. The character can be considered a plethora of thoughts, mood, social behaviour and physical characteristics of the person who determine the alters of a person's reaction against others. Although the word of shakeleh in Islamic culture is the equivalent of character words, but the comparative study of its concept with the concept of personality is a number of topics that have been done less about that research. Therefore, the present paper with a qualitative approach and using analytical-analytic methods, has been proposed this concept from the perspective of the approaches of psychology and Quranic literature and has tried to achieve a comprehensive view in this regard. The results of the implementation of psychologists with Quranic teachings show that the human being of the same character is a semantic meaning that is made in the life of the human being and through its actions and behaviors.

Goal: In recent decades, families in Iran have been exposed to major issues that have led to breakthroughs due to the performance of renovations. So the main objective of the present research is to examine the process of influencing reformations caused by the modernization in the family.
Method: Along the this goal , the information through the meta-analytical approach with review of all the research in the field of family discontinuity in the information banks in the years 1389-1397 was obtained and 35 articles were finalized through qualitative research method.
Findings: 66 free codes were identified that the conceptualized theoretical codes showed "impairment in the emotional and sexual function of the family" affected by huge level factors " Structural changes, "" value changes "and" moral changes "and" lack of pre-marriage competencies "and" lack of post-marital skills "as factors in the level of micro level have reduced the strength of the Iranian family. In this context, the catalyst and facilitator of this process is, "the lack of awareness of families about the power of discourses Dominant in creating new value, ethical and structural experiences. "
Conclusion: So because we encounter multiple and complex relationships of individual, interpersonal, value and semantic subjects in social context we have to resort to an approach that simultaneously, in addition to paying attention to the individual and interpersonal dynamics of couples, also examines their behavior in terms of the value and semantic changes that have been made in the community and the discourses involving families.
