Objective: The aim of the present study was to introduce and validate a tool for measuring students' individual agency. Method: The research was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included 1364 student-teachers at Farhangian University, Kurdistan Province. A sample of 271 students was selected using systematic random sampling. Data was collected using the Individual Resources subscale of the Student Agency Scale (Jääskelä et al., 2017). The subscale has 28 items spread across four dimensions: participation activity, interest and motivation, self-efficacy, and competence beliefs. The questionnaire was translated into Persian, and semantic consistency with the original version was confirmed using the back-translation method. Subsequently, the face validity of tool was verified based on expert evaluations. Data analysis involved first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, and a one-sample t-test. Data analysis software included SPSS19 and Amos23. Results: The first-order factor analysis results indicated that the questionnaire items (after removing three items) could appropriately describe the latent variables. The second-order factor analysis results also revealed that the questionnaire items could be reduced to four components: activity engagement, interest and motivation, self-efficacy, and competence beliefs (RMSEA: .047; CFI: .93). The average variance extracted was 0.55, confirming convergent validity. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.87, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the subscales ranged from 0.64 to 0.82. The composite reliability was 0.82. Results also indicated a high level of individual agency among student-teachers at Farhangian University (p < .05).

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy-based skills training on distress tolerance, cognitive emotion regulation, and marital quality of life in women with recurrent miscarriages. Methods: The statistical population consisted of all women who visited infertility clinics in Tehran in 2019-2020. A sample of 30 women was selected using convenience and purposive sampling methods, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and was randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 women in each group). The questionnaires used in this study were the Distress Tolerance Questionnaire by Simons and Gaher (2005), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire by Garnefski, Kraaij, and Spinhoven (2006), and the Marital Quality of Life Questionnaire by Fletcher, Simpson, and Thomas (2000). The statistical method used was repeated measures, with a significance level of 0.05. Findings: According to the results, the differences in means between the two groups in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages were significant. There were significant differences in distress tolerance, cognitive emotion regulation, and marital quality of life between the two groups. The dialectical behavior therapy-based skills training had an impact on the variables of distress tolerance, cognitive emotion regulation, and marital quality of life, with effect sizes of 0.885, 0.910, and 0.983, respectively. Conclusion: Given the confirmed effectiveness of this therapy, it is recommended that these women receive appropriate psychological treatments alongside medical treatments.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (ROCD) in women attending health centers. Methods: The research design was applied in terms of aim and was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design, two experimental groups, a control group, and a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population included all women referred to health centers and a private counseling center in Chalous city in 2023. Twenty participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. To collect data, the Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Questionnaire by Doron et al. (2012) was used. For statistical analysis, SPSS-26 software, repeated measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni post hoc test were utilized. Findings: The results indicated that CBT (F=6.92, p<0.01) and ACT (F=6.97, p<0.01) had a significant impact on ROCD scores over time (p<0.01), suggesting that both interventions significantly reduced ROCD in women attending health centers. A significant difference was found between pretest and posttest scores for ROCD in both approaches (p<0.01), indicating the meaningful effectiveness of these two therapeutic methods. No significant difference was observed between posttest and follow-up scores (p>0.05), indicating the stability of the effects. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that both CBT and ACT can be used to reduce ROCD in women attending health centers, with no significant difference in the effectiveness of these therapeutic methods.

Objective: Environmental crises, public policies, and shifts in cultural decision-making have diminished traditional opportunities for direct engagement with open spaces and nature. The reduced human-nature connection has led to significant psychological effects, particularly among children. Numerous studies highlight the pivotal role of green and natural environments in enhancing social well-being by offering diverse spaces that respond to children's needs and interests, thereby addressing the aforementioned issues. Creating a spectrum of sensory variations fosters enriched emotional development in children and effectively regulates their emotions. Additionally, such environments enhance children's emotional capacities, including self-confidence, group interactions, dynamic communication, exposure to diverse emotions, and motivation for learning—elements closely tied to emotional intelligence. In this regard, urban design, architecture, and landscape architecture hold substantial potential for preserving and reinforcing nature experiences within contemporary built environments. Method: This study goes beyond conventional cognitive learning frameworks by employing a biophilic approach tailored to children's developmental needs, examining its influence on emotional intelligence. The primary objective is to identify biophilic design characteristics that effectively support the enhancement of children's emotional intelligence. To achieve this, expert perspectives were systematically analyzed using Q-factor analysis, allowing for the extraction of key indicators that define the relationship between biophilic design and emotional intelligence. This methodological approach ensures that findings are grounded in interdisciplinary insights, reinforcing the role of nature-integrated spaces in fostering emotional growth. Conclusions: these indicators summarized into four factors: personal experience, social aspects, spatial characteristics, and ecological nature and landscape.
