Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment on internalized shame, anxiety sensitivity, and alexia in infertile women. Methods:  The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all the infertile women of Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital in Zahedan city in 2022. The sample size was 40 infertile women who were selected through available sampling. They were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (20 experimental subjects and 20 control subjects). The participants in the experimental group received 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment-based treatment, each lasting 60 minutes, while the control group did not receive any intervention. To collect data from the questionnaire, Taylor and Cox's (1998) anxiety sensitivity, Rajabi and Abbasi's internalized shame questionnaire (2013), and Toronto Besharat's personality disorder questionnaire (2007) were used. The covariance analysis method was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the treatment based on acceptance and commitment led to a significant decrease in internal shame, anxiety sensitivity, and dyslexia in infertile women in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Also, the results of the covariance analysis showed that it is possible to benefit from treatment based on acceptance and commitment to reduce internalized shame, anxiety sensitivity, and dyslexia in infertile women.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Gottman couple therapy and cognitive-behavioral couple therapy in improving marital satisfaction among married students at Islamic Azad University, Hamedan Branch. Methods: The study utilized a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. A total of 45 married students were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned into three groups: Gottman couple therapy (n = 15), cognitive-behavioral couple therapy (n = 15), and a control group (n = 15). The intervention groups received 10 sessions of Gottman couple therapy or 8 sessions of cognitive-behavioral couple therapy, while the control group received no intervention. The ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (47-item short form) was used to assess marital satisfaction before and after the interventions. Data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software, employing multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare the effects of the interventions. Findings: The results indicated that both Gottman couple therapy and cognitive-behavioral couple therapy significantly improved marital satisfaction compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The effect size analysis revealed that Gottman couple therapy had a greater impact (η² = 0.789) compared to cognitive-behavioral couple therapy (η² = 0.721), particularly in areas related to emotional communication, conflict management, and decision-making. However, the ANOVA results showed no statistically significant difference between the two intervention groups (p > 0.05), indicating that both approaches were similarly effective in enhancing marital satisfaction. Conclusion: Both Gottman couple therapy and cognitive-behavioral couple therapy were effective in increasing marital satisfaction among married students, with Gottman couple therapy demonstrating a slightly greater impact. Given the shared principles of these approaches, future research should explore the potential benefits of integrating them to create a more comprehensive intervention for couples.

Objective: Family functioning is one of the structures that can have a significant impact on the psycho-social functioning of its members. For this reason, identifying the factors affecting it will greatly help to improve the family's performance. The purpose of the current research was to develop a causal model of Family function based on psychological Hardiness and Psychological capital through Persistent psychological symptoms post-COVID-19 Syndrome. Methods:  The statistical population of the present study was men and women of Karaj and Tehran provinces in 2023 who had at least one history of contracting COVID-19. From the statistical population, using an available sampling method, 395 eligible individuals were selected to participate in the research and complete the research questionnaires. In this research,  Kobasa's Psychological Hardiness questionnaires, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS), Corona Stress Scale (CSS-18), suitable for the Iranian lifestyle, and the Questionnaire of Family Functioning were used. The collected data were analyzed using the structural equation analysis method in Amos software (0.084). Results: The findings of this research indicated that Psychological Hardiness directly (0.085) and indirectly through psychological symptoms after COVID-19 (p<0.05) was able to significantly predict family functioning. Conclusion: According to the findings of this research, it seems that strengthening personal psychological structures in the face of environmental stressors can improve people's performance in dealing with these conditions.

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of organizational envy in the relationship between quality of work life, job burnout, and organizational productivity among employees at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. A descriptive-correlational design was employed using structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 165 employees were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires: the Organizational Envy Questionnaire (Valizadeh & Azarbayejani, 2009), the Job Burnout Questionnaire (Reis & Xanthopoulou, 2015), the Quality of Work Life Questionnaire (Lopez et al., 2007), and the Organizational Productivity Questionnaire (Hersey & Goldsmith, 2002). Data were analyzed using Smart PLS–4 software, incorporating Pearson correlation, reliability and validity tests (Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, AVE, HTMT), and bootstrapping for mediation analysis. Organizational envy showed significant negative correlations with organizational productivity ( r = -0.43, p < 0.01) and quality of work life ( r = -0.18, p < 0.05), but was not significantly related to job burnout. Quality of work life significantly predicted reduced burnout ( β = -0.417, p < 0.001), lower envy ( β = -0.252, p < 0.05), and increased productivity (β = 0.299, p = 0.001). Organizational envy significantly reduced productivity ( β = -0.384, p < 0.001), yet it did not mediate the relationship between quality of work life and either burnout or productivity. Based on the findings, enhancing the quality of work life directly contributed to reducing job burnout and increasing organizational productivity, underscoring its strategic importance in human resource development.
