Introduction: All the basic theories of committed relationships refer to the availability of attractive alternatives as a negative factor that undermines the commitment and survival of the relationshipObjective: The present study aimed to compare adaptive motivation and cognitive activism within individuals with and without the temptation to engage in a relationship with an attractive alternative. Methods: The study population consisted of the married men and women in Mashhad among which 200 individuals were selected as the study participants via convenient sampling procedure who responded to the temptation and likelihood of infidelity questionnaires. Out of 200 participants, 40 individuals were selected via purposive sampling (10 males and 10 females with high rate of temptation as well as 10 females and 10 males with low rate of temptation) who were required to respond to other research questionnaires of the study. Findings: A significant difference was detected between the two study groups (high temptation to infidelity vs. low temptation to infidelity).There was a significant difference in the average scores of adaptive motivation (p<0.05, t=3.05) and also in the average scores of all components of cognitive abilities except for the component of social cognition (8.46, F=p<0.05).Conclusion: It can be concluded that the participants of the high temptation group had higher temptation rate, less adaptive motivation and more cognitive problems (based on the Cognitive Ability Questionnaire, n-back task, Hanoi Tower task and Go / No go task) in comparison with the low temptation group, which seems to increase the likelihood of infidelity in these people

Abstract the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies train-ing on improving mental health, self-compassion and craving in the addicts of khorram abad. The research method is a pretest_ posttest_ follow up with control group. Sample included 32 men were an addict who was a member of the addicts treated with buprenorphine maintenance of khorram abad.. They were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to control and ex-perimental groups. The experimental group received gross model-based emotion regulation strate-gies for ten sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the project. To collect deta, mental health questionnaire (GHQ), self-compassion (SCS) scale and crav-ing questionnaire were used and for analysis, multivariate analysis of variance was used. The re-sults showed that training of emotion regulation strategies training increased their mental health and self-compassion and decreased craving in the experimental group. Eventually emotion regulation strategies training is a useful applied practice in treating and preventing addiction recurrence.
