The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity, reliability and factor structure of the short version of the Mind Wandering Questionnaire among students. The statistical population of this research included all the students of the faculty of literature and humanities of Urmia University in the academic year of 2022-2023 (a total of 2075 students), of which 380 were selected by available sampling. Depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21) and Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire (FMI-SF) were used to calculate convergent and divergent validity. Construct validity was investigated through confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was done using Cronbach's alpha method and retesting. Also, the data were analyzed with spss version 25 and Lisrel version 8.8 software. The results of confirmatory factor analysis, like the original form, confirmed a factor of mind wandering. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was equal to 0.89. In addition, the retest coefficient with an interval of four weeks for the entire questionnaire was 0.81. Also, the correlation coefficient showed favorable convergent and divergent validity of the questionnaire (P<0.001). According to the obtained results, it can be said that the mind wandering questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring mind wandering among students.

The socio-statistics of the research included all married women who referred to the health centers of Mahdishahr city in 2019. Among these, 30 people were selected by available sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The participants of both groups completed questionnaires of lovemaking styles, psychological well-being, emotional abuse and marital tension in the pre-test and post-test. The practical training of sincere communication skills was carried out in 10 sessions of 90 minutes with the frequency of one session per week on the experimental group. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that the practical training of intimate communication skills reduced emotional abuse and marital tension and improved psychological well-being and love styles in the group that was trained, but no significant difference was observed in the friendly love style. As a result, this method can be used to reduce conflicts and improve the quality of married life in couples.
