The goal of this research was to determine the effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioral educational program based on body image for sexual satisfaction and functioning for married female university students. The research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest, posttest, and control group. The statistical population of the study included all married female students studying in the faculties of humanities (i.e., Faculties of Psychology and Tributary Sciences; Social Sciences; and Economics) that according to the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), were dissatisfied with their body image. Among these students, 30 of whom getting scores lower than the average on Larson's sexual satisfaction questionnaire (LSSQ) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were selected (15 subjects were assigned to the experimental group, and 15 subjects were assigned to the control group) to participate in the Cognitive-Behavioral Educational Program. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that after receiving intervention, a significant difference (P<0/001) was found between the experimental and control groups in the rate of increase in sexual satisfaction and functioning. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the cognitive-behavioral educational program based on body image and modification of negative body image can be used to increase sexual satisfaction and functioning in married female students who are dissatisfied with their body image.

Working memory has a important role in the academic performance of the students with reading disability. However educational researchers have reported different results in the effectiveness of existing programs. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of working memory educational program on enhancing working memory performance of dyslexic students. This education considered both auditory and visual dimension. This study was Quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and fallow-up. The statistical population was all the primary school students with dyslexia who went to learning disorders centers in Tehran, 30 of them were selected by convenience sampling and were assigned by random in experimental and control groups. The experimental group experienced the working memory educational program in 24 sessions, 25 to 30minutes. Working Memory Test Battery for Children (Gathercole & Pickering, 2001) was taken before and after education and also two months after finishing the program it was taken for both experimental and control group. Multi-variable variance analysis with repeated measures were used for data analyzing. Results showed significant differences between experimental and control group in post-test and also stability of these differences in follow-up test. In conclusion effectiveness of working memory educational program for dyslexic children is determined in enhancing their ability of auditory and visual working memory.
