Abstract
The problems in identifying effective strategies to improve the mental health and emotional well-being of hearing-impaired children and the emotional and psychological problems that most of these children face in their daily lives make clear the need for research and increased attention to this area. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of play therapy based on Axline's approach on the mental health and emotional well-being of primary hearing impaired children based on the ABC method. The current research was a semi-experimental design of single case type with baseline, intervention and follow-up design. Using available sampling method, 3 hearing impaired primary school children were selected from Pajhwok Family and Hearing Impaired Child Rehabilitation Center in Tehran. The measurement tools in this research were the children's mental health questionnaire by Jelink et al., the mental well-being questionnaire by Diener et al., and the record sheet. First, the questionnaires were administered 3 times with an interval of 3 days as a baseline. It was found that there is a relative stability in the grades. Then the intervention was implemented in 8 sessions. After each session, the participants were evaluated once and 2 weeks later, the same questionnaire was administered 3 times with a time interval of 2 days as a follow-up phase. The data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS 26 software and by intra-site and inter-site analysis. The results indicated that mental health and emotional well-being increased in each of the subjects after the intervention. 8 intervention sessions have been held, after which the frequency of variables was recorded in the session. According to the graphs, the increasing trend of the variables can be seen, and in the final part of the graph, 3 follow-up sessions, which are considered two weeks after the last intervention, still show the approximate stability trend of the variables.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological cohesion and distress tolerance with a tendency to high-risk behaviors in high school students. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and terms of data collection, it was descriptive correlational research. The statistical population included all high school students in the city of Anar, which according to the statistics of the Pomegranate Education Department was 1400 people. The sampling method was available and the number of samples was 302 based on Krejcie and Morgan's table. After selecting two girls 'schools and two boys' secondary schools, the samples were taken with the cooperation of the school principal and teachers. Subjects answered the questionnaires about high-risk behavior, feeling of cohesion, and tolerance of anxiety. Testing the research hypotheses, inferential statistical methods including correlation coefficient and regression were used. Findings showed that there is an inverse relationship between psychological cohesion and anxiety tolerance with high-risk behaviors. In other words, by strengthening psychological cohesion and anxiety tolerance in students, the tendency to high-risk behaviors can be reduced.
