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
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of self-compassion training on levels of self-criticism and the sense of psychological coherence in women with depressive syndrome. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and employed a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all women with depressive syndrome who visited counseling centers in Qom city in 2025. The sample included 30 women selected through convenience sampling and were randomly and equally assigned (15 participants each) to an experimental group and a control group. The instruments used included the Thompson and Zuroff Self-Criticism Scale (2004), the Flensborg-Madsen et al. Sense of Psychological Coherence Questionnaire (2006), and the Gilbert Self-Compassion Training Protocol (2010). Data analysis was conducted using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Bonferroni post-hoc test in SPSS version 27. The findings showed that self-compassion training significantly reduced self-criticism and increased the sense of psychological coherence in women with depressive syndrome. Moreover, the intervention had a significant effect on reducing the components of self-criticism (internal and comparative) and increasing the components of psychological coherence (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness). The results of the Bonferroni post-hoc test indicated a decrease in mean self-criticism scores and an increase in mean psychological coherence scores in the experimental group compared to the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that self-compassion training is effective in improving mental health indicators among women with depressive syndrome and can be used as a complementary intervention in counseling and treatment centers.

Abstract
One of the fundamental indicators in explaining the quality of marital relationships is marital conflict, which, if managed ineffectively, becomes one of the main grounds for tension and the breakdown of family relationships. The present study compared the effectiveness of Gottman couple therapy with Glasser’s reality therapy-based couple therapy on cognitive flexibility and sense of coherence in couples experiencing conflict. The statistical population of the study consisted of couples referred to the Zehn Ara Psychology Clinic in Tehran in the year 1404 (2025–2026) due to marital conflict. The sampling method was convenience and purposeful. To collect data, the Dennis and Vander Wal (2010) Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire and Antonovsky (1993) Sense of Coherence Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings showed that Gottman couple therapy was more effective than Glasser’s reality therapy on cognitive flexibility and sense of coherence in women experiencing conflict. It can be concluded that Gottman couple therapy is more effective in improving cognitive flexibility and sense of coherence in women with marital conflict. Therefore, based on the research findings, it can be utilized to reduce problems in individuals experiencing marital conflicts.
