Cognition is mediated and combined by mental processes formed by internal speech and cognitive processes play a key role in generalized anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency and content of inner speech in people with generalized anxiety disorder traits, obsessive-compulsive disorder traits and normal. 348 (boys: 203, girls: 145) students of Shahid Beheshti University were selected by convenience sampling method and participants answered the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Scale (Spitzer et al., 2006), the Self-talk Scale (Brinthaupt et al.., 2009) and the Padua Inventory–Washington State University Revision (Burns et al.., 1996). Findings were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed a significant difference in frequency between the normal group and clinical groups. Also, the research findings showed a significant difference between the normal group and clinical groups in the negative subscales of inner speech content (self-criticism and social assessment) and not the positive subscales (self-regulation and self-reinforcement).

The aim of the present study is to determine the dimensions of religious ontology in inner speech of religious couples with high marital adjustment. This was a qualitative study using semi-structured deep interview for 11 couples (11 wives and 11 husbands) with high marital adjustment. The couples were selected by purposeful sampling till data saturation was reached. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data obtained from interviews. Data analysis revealed that religious ontology helped religious couples consider their marital relationship as a holy bound established by God to reach certain goals. Religious ontology yielded positive marital consequences in three direct ways and in one indirect way. Direct ways of religious ontology in couples were belief in God’s presence and surveillance in marital life, observation of religious practices, and belief in God’s help in marital life. The indirect influence of the religious ontology for couples was following the practice and the style of marital life of holy prophet of Islam (PBUH) and the Fourteen Infallibles (AS). Through these processes, religious ontology leads to peace, satisfaction, faithfulness as well as financial and spiritual perfection. Findings also showed that religious ontology positively influences marital life and can be used to develop a model for improving marital satisfaction by changing the ontology styles of the couples.
