Objective: The primary goal of this study was to present a forgiveness model based on childhood maltreatment and attachment styles, with the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in betrayal victims. Methods: This descriptive correlational study involved betrayal victims who had sought counseling in Tehran in 2022, with a sample of 653 individuals selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used included Bernstein et al.'s (2003) Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Hazan and Shaver's (1987) Attachment Style Questionnaire, Young's (1999) Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire, and the Forgiveness Questionnaire by Ray et al. (2001). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 and AMOS version 24. Findings: The results indicated a negative relationship between childhood maltreatment, insecure attachment styles, and early maladaptive schemas with forgiveness, while secure attachment showed a positive relationship with forgiveness. Furthermore, the results suggested that early maladaptive schemas mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment, attachment styles, and forgiveness in betrayal victims. Conclusion: Overall, the results indicated that the evaluated structural model was well-fitted, and the findings could assist therapists and counselors in better understanding the forgiveness process in betrayal victims.

Objective: The present study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a family mediation intervention model on self-esteem, negative mood, and social anxiety in children of divorce. Methods: The method of this study was quasi-experimental, employing a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population consisted of all children of divorced parents in Alborz Province, who had legal cases filed in the judiciary of this province. The research sample included 30 children, randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 in each group), selected through convenience sampling. The children completed the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and the Maria Kovacs Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI). Findings: The results of multivariate covariance analysis (Wilks' Lambda = 0.45, F = 9.46, P < 0.001) indicated that the family mediation intervention model, based on co-parenting, was effective in reducing negative mood (F = 7.03, P < 0.01), negative self-esteem (F = 15.87, P < 0.01), and social anxiety (F = 7.07, P < 0.01). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, the family mediation training program, grounded in co-parenting, can be considered a useful educational method alongside other support programs for children of divorce.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the structural model describing the connection between sexual function and psychosocial factors with life satisfaction based on the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with endometriosis. Method: This present study was a descriptive correlational research based on structural equations. The statistical population of the study included all women with endometriosis, referring to Arash Hospital as a referral Women's Center and Gynecological office in Tehran, Iran, in 2023-2024. According to Morgan's formula, a sample of 357 participants was chosen through convenience sampling. The tools employed in this study for data collection were the Women’s Sexual Function Index (Isidori et al., 2010), Short Form Symptom Checklist-25-Revised (Derogatis et al., 1973), Social Health Questionnaire (Keyes, 2004), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diner, 1985). Data analysis was done using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and path analysis, and AMOS22 software was utilized to assess the proposed model, and the mediating relationships within it were also calculated using the bootstrap method. Results: The findings from structural equation modeling supported the model's goodness of fit and indicated that psychological factors negatively affect life satisfaction through the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with endometriosis (β= -0.114, p<0.001). In addition, the relationship between biological and social factors and life satisfaction through the mediating variable was not found to be significant. Nevertheless, the overall effect of psychological, social, and biological factors (including the sum of direct and indirect pathways) in connection with life satisfaction was significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings, the model has a good fit, and cognitive emotion regulation has a mediating role in the relationship between sexual function and psychosocial factors with life satisfaction. This study offers a valuable framework for recognizing key factors influencing life satisfaction in women with endometriosis, which should be taken into account in psychological treatment programs.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to test the structural model of relationships between personality pathology dimensions and cyberbullying mediated by contingent self-worth in adolescent girls. Methods: This study was tested using the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population of this research included all adolescent female students in District 2 of Tehran during the 2020-2021 academic year. According to the data obtained from the Tehran Department of Education, their total number was 145,398. Based on Michel’s criteria (1993) and using multi-stage cluster sampling, 300 participants were selected as the sample. They responded to the Contingent Self-Worth Questionnaire by Crocker et al. (2003), the Cyberbullying Questionnaire by Antoniadou et al. (2016), and the short form of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5-BF). SPSS.22 and AMOS.22 software were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings from testing the structural model showed that the direct effect of abnormal personality on contingent self-worth was (-0.33), on cyberbullying (0.26), and the direct effect of contingent self-worth on cyberbullying was (-0.40). Contingent self-worth mediated the relationship between abnormal personality and cyberbullying, with the indirect effect of this relationship being (0.13) (P<0.01). Overall, the results indicated that the tested model had a good fit with the conceptual model (RMSEA=0.06; GFI=0.91). Conclusion: It can be concluded that contingent self-worth mediates the relationship between dimensions of abnormal personality and cyberbullying.

Job burnout results in decreased productivity and the depletion of human resources, leading to detrimental impacts on individuals, families, and society. This study aimed to explore the relationships among five key variables: stress, depression, anxiety, job burnout, and teachers' working memory. The study population comprised teachers from Zabul city during the 2022-2024 academic years. A sample of 120 teachers was selected using cluster random sampling for descriptive and correlational analyses. Working memory was assessed using the Working Memory Questionnaire (Daneman & Carpenter, 1980). Stress, anxiety, and depression were measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Job burnout was evaluated with the Maslach and Jackson's 1980 Burnout Inventory (MBI). The study utilized descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficient, as well as step-by-step regression analysis, to examine the relationships among stress, depression, anxiety, job burnout, and working memory. The findings indicated a strong correlation among these variables. Regression analysis showed that burnout was the most significant predictor of teachers' working memory compared to the other three variables.
