Abstract
This study aimed to design a predictive model to identification of protective and risk factors in college student at the risk of mental disorders. This research was designed according to the correlation analysis, and the sample society (560 students) was selected from 4564 students of ShahidBeheshti University using Stratified Random Sampling Method. The collected data was based on the General Health Factors Goldberg, Social Support Bakhshipoor, Piravi and Abediian, Coping Strategies Endler and Parker, the Suicide Risk Scale of Northwest Behavioral Health Research Center, and Mentor Research Institute Scale. The data was then analyzed using logistic regression.The results showed that religious beliefs, social support, and problem-focused coping strategies effectively decrease and emotion-focused coping strategies and record of mental disorders effectively increase the risk of mental disorder. The benefit of having a more-developed religious belief can decrease the odds the risk of mental disorder to than 0/34 sized (-0/66), social support to than 0/64 sized (-0/36) and problem-focused coping strategies to than 0/77 sized (-0/23), While having a record of mental disorder and emotion-focused coping strategies can respectively increase the odds the risk of mental disorder to 4.35 and 1.95. By designing a predictive model, we can reinforce the protective factors and control the risk factors in order to use them for primary preventive models.

Abstract
One of the most common childhood disorders is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its interaction with parental behaviors. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) on reducing verbal and non-verbal violence of mothers and symptoms of ADHD in preschool children. The method of the study was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population included preschool children with ADHD symptoms and their mothers in Tehran. Twenty of these children and their mothers were selected using convenience sampling method and were matched and randomly assigned in experimental (n = 10) and control (n = 10) groups. The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of 90 minutes in PCIT sessions. The instruments included the Connors’ Parent Rating Scale and the Parent Behavior Screening. Data analysis using MANCOVA in SPSS version 22 showed that the scores of verbal and non-verbal violence of mothers, also the symptoms of ADHD decreased in the post-test compared to the pre-test (p <0.001) and treatment has a significant effect on reducing mothers’ verbal and non-verbal violence and symptoms of ADHD. It can be concluded PCIT could decrease the severity of ADHD symptoms in children and mothers' verbal and non-verbal violence.

Abstract
This research aimed to validate and validate Ferguson and Negi's (2014) Dramatic Personality Disorder questionnaire in college students. The research method was descriptive-contextualization. The statistical population of this research included undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students who were studying in the universities of Tehran in the academic year of 2019. 307 students were selected as a sample using online sampling (available). Ferguson and Nagy's (2014) expressive personality questionnaire and MMPI scale were used to collect data. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the items of this questionnaire had the necessary power to measure the components of seduction, attracting attention and dramatic personality symptoms, and Cronbach's alpha of the mentioned components was 0.78 and 0.69, respectively, and the overall internal consistency of the questionnaire was equal to 0.7, the total score of the personality syndrome questionnaire was positively correlated with the scores of the psychological/social deviance, paranoia, mental weakness and schizophrenia components of the MMPI at a significance level of 0.01. Therefore, the questionnaire of demonstrative personality syndromes has good validity and reliability, and its use in research and treatment work is recommended to researchers and therapists.Key words: personality, Theatrical character, standardization, validity, reliability.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) on reducing perceived stress in female students with social anxiety. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest–posttest design and a control group. The statistical population included seventh-grade female students of lower secondary schools in District 3 of Tehran during the 2024–2025 academic year. The sample consisted of 20 students with symptoms of social anxiety who were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (10 students in each group). The experimental group received 9 sessions of 90-minute Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The research instruments included the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS-26 software.
The results showed that after controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference between the two groups in perceived stress (p < 0.01). The effect size was 0.569, indicating a considerable effectiveness of the intervention. The findings indicated that Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy can significantly reduce stress in female students with social anxiety. |

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Gottman couple therapy and Glasser reality therapy-based couple therapy on the sense of coherence and cognitive flexibility of couples with marital conflict. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included couples who referred to the Mindful Psychology Clinic in Tehran in 2025 due to marital conflict. Among them, 45 couples were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to three groups: Gottman couple therapy, Glasser reality therapy-based couple therapy, and the control group (15 couples in each group). The experimental groups received 10 and 12 treatment sessions, respectively, and the control group was placed on a waiting list. Data were collected using the Dennis and Vanderwaal Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire and the Antonovsky Sense of Coherence Questionnaire and analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS-26 software. The findings showed that both interventions significantly increased cognitive flexibility and sense of coherence compared to the control group (P<0.001). Also, Gottman couple therapy was more effective in improving both variables compared to Glaser reality therapy-based couple therapy (P<0.05). Accordingly, both therapeutic approaches were effective in improving psychological indicators of couples with marital conflict, but Gottman couple therapy was more effective and can be used as an appropriate intervention in family counseling and treatment centers.

Abstract
| The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of self-compassion training on levels of self-criticism and sense of coherence in women with depressive symptoms. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all women with depressive symptoms referring to counseling centers in Qom. Among them, 30 participants were selected through purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (15 participants) or the control group (15 participants). The research instruments included the Beck Depression Inventory-II for screening, the Levels of Self-Criticism Scale by Thompson and Zuroff, and the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire by Flensborg-Madsen. The experimental group received group self-compassion training, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA and ANCOVA). The findings indicated that after controlling for the pretest effect, the difference between the experimental and control groups in the posttest phase was statistically significant for both levels of self-criticism and sense of coherence. The educational intervention accounted for 29.1% of the variance in self-criticism and 59.0% of the variance in sense of coherence. Furthermore, the results showed that this training significantly reduced internalized and comparative self-criticism while enhancing the components of sense of coherence, including comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. In conclusion, by weakening self-criticism mechanisms and strengthening the structure of the sense of coherence, self-compassion training serves as an effective approach for improving the mental health indices of depressed women, and its application in counseling centers is recommended. |

Abstract
Marital commitment is one of the most important determinants of marital stability and relationship quality. Identifying its predictors can contribute to the development of effective educational and therapeutic interventions for couples. The present study aimed to predict marital commitment based on conflict resolution styles and communication patterns among married couples in Qom. This applied study employed a descriptive correlational design. The statistical population consisted of married couples living in Qom, from whom 393 participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Marital Commitment Inventory developed by Adams and Jones, the Communication Patterns Questionnaire developed by Christensen and Sullaway, and Rahim's Conflict Resolution Styles Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that conflict resolution styles and communication patterns significantly predicted marital commitment. Among the conflict resolution styles, the integrating style was the strongest predictor of marital commitment, while among the communication patterns, only mutual constructive communication significantly predicted marital commitment. These findings suggest that strengthening constructive conflict resolution skills and improving communication patterns may enhance marital commitment and promote marital stability. Therefore, these components should be considered in premarital education and couple counseling programs.
