Successful marriage has positive effects on the well-being of individuals, and marital commitment is one of the key component of successful marriage. This study aimed to predict marital commitment based on couples' conflict resolution styles, self-compassion, and satisfaction of basic psychological needs. This research was a descriptive- correlational survey. The statistical population consisted of all married employees of Shiraz University in the academic year of 2019-2020, and 211 married employees (117 women and 94 men) were selected by single-stage cluster sampling method. Research tools contained the Marital Commitment Questionnaire (Adams & Jones, 1997), Rahim Conflict Resolution Styles Questionnaire (Rahim, 1983), the Self-compassion Scale (Neff, 2003b), Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (Gagné, 2003) and the Basic Needs Satisfaction in Relationships Scale (La Guardia, Ryan, Couchman & Deci, 2000). The obtained data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that satisfaction of basic needs at general scale, non-constructive conflict resolution styles, self-compassion, constructive conflict resolution styles, and satisfaction of basic needs in relation to spouse ranked respectively based on their power in predicting marital commitment among the research variables. These variables predict 40% of the variance of marital commitment. These findings suggest that marital commitment rises with an increase in satisfaction of basic psychological needs at the general scale and in relation to the spouse, constructive conflict resolution styles, self-compassion, and a decrease in non-constructive conflict resolution styles. This study has considerable implications for developing premarital educational programs, couple empowerment and couple therapy interventions.

AbstractSocial anxiety has a chronic and continuous process and is highly related to childhood and family. The aim of this study was determine the relationship between parents' obsessive beliefs and social anxiety in children with emotion regulation mediation. The research design was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population was 500 female students who were members of the Telegram virtual networks of the Faculty of Psychology of the Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch. The statistical sample consisted of 600 students including 200 female students and 400 parents who were selected by voluntary sampling. The Social Anxiety Scale (Michael Leibovitz, 1987) was completed by students, and the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (Obsessive Compulsive Cognitions Working Group, 2003), and the short form of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefsky, Gerich, & Spinhaven, 2002) were completed by parents. Pearson torque correlation tests and path analysis were used to test the hypotheses. Findings showed that parents' obsessive beliefs with their non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies, and parents' non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies with social anxiety in their children have a positive relationship, with a significance level of p≥0.05.

In order for the policy makers to design and fulfill suitable interventions in community’s psychological management which affected by Covid-19 pandemic, it is necessary to monitor all information about different groups of community in quickly, comprehensive and classified manner at different times. The aim of this study is to develop a questionnaire to evaluate distress level, like this. Considering the RIU knowledge transfer model and using a researcher-designed questionnaire to assess distress level in the general population and health care workers, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2019 in Tehran province. In the general population, in the study period, all independent variables, including socio-economic stress, respect to health protocols, trust in healthcare officials and job distress of medical staff, have significant effects on general distress. The socio-economic stress variable had the greatest effect. The regression model resulted from this study allows the policymaker to estimate the general distress level of the society according to the independent variables studied. Despite the high effect of stressors, the level of psychological resilience of the study population is acceptable during the study period and they still trust in healthcare officials and respect health protocols. However, considering the differences in the findings of various studies on distress level and its strengthening factors, show the need for accurate and continuous monitoring of societal changes in at different times of the pandemic.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes motor and non-motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms such as mood disorders severely affect patients' quality of life. The interrelationship of multiple non-motor symptoms with each other makes comprehensive therapies necessary to simultaneously address different psychological aspects of patients. The present study was performed to compare the effectiveness of the treatment package based on psychological factors related to Parkinson's disease and memory specificity training (MEST) on the mood of these patients. The study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design along with a control group. 18 Parkinson's patients were eligible to participate in the study, so the selection of sample subjects was nonprobability and they were randomly assigned to three groups. Due to the possible discrepancies between the groups and to adjust it, the method of analysis of covariance was used and pre-test scores were taken. Groups were matched by gender. Data collection measures were the autobiographical memory test (AMT) and Beck's Depression Inventory- second edition (BDI-II). Data were analyzed by the covariance method and SPSS v.25 software. Data analysis showed that the mean level of depression increased in the control group, while in the package therapy and MEST groups the level of depression decreased. Data analysis showed that the mean mood scores in the post-test only in the MEST group were significantly different from the control group (P <0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean mood scores of the package therapy and control groups in the post-test; however, the mean mood scores in the two groups of package therapy and MEST were not significant. According to the research findings, MEST can be effective as a multidisciplinary intervention in improving the mood of Parkinson's patients. Supporting the effect of the treatment package based on psychological factors on mood requires further research.

Purpose: Today, the presence of the positive affect system in the research domain criteria (RDoC) suggests a different treatment path with emphasis on emotional symptoms and without labeling the disorder. Based on this, the present study aimed to develop and validate the treatment protocol for obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to the positive affect system. Method: The statistical population was people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder in Tehran in 2022. Sixteen participants were purposefully participated from mental health clinics and sampling continued until data saturation was reached. Data was collected through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview that was approved. Data analysis was done based on grounded theory method with Strauss and Corbin method and three stages of coding. Findings: The theoretical codes obtained in the research included: reward learning, response to reward, valuing reward and hope for reward. Each of theoretical codes included four central code categories and ten open codes that correspond to positive affective factors in the RDoC domain. Open, central and theoretical codes were approved by six psychologists with a content validity index coefficient of 0.85. Innovation: The treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, considering the field of positive affect in the RDoC system, can be one of the most recent looks at the etiology and treatment of this disease, which has not been discussed in detail so far. Conclusion: According to the findings, paying attention to the positive affect system in obsessive people can raise the mood and hope of the sufferers and increase their motivation to fight the disorder properly. The findings of this study introduce valuable codes in this field, but more studies are needed to find more and more accurate codes in order to obtain reliable results.
