Abstract

Aim and Background: The aim of this research was to investigate and compare the effectiveness of resilience training and the combination of positive therapy and resilience training on reduction of academic procrastination and academic stress, and improvement of psychological well-being and effective coping strategies among female students. Methods and Materials: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest, and follow-up. The participants consisted of 60 students of 14 to 16 years old. They were selected through multistage cluster sampling and randomly divided into 2 experimental groups and a control group. Resilience training and the combination of positive therapy and resilience training were presented in 9 sessions, each lasting 2 hours, in the 2 experimental groups. Savari's Academic Procrastination Questionnaire, Ang and Huang’s Academic Stress Inventory, Ryff's Scale of Psychological Well-being (RSPWB), and Endler and Parker’s Scale of Coping Strategies were used in the pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. The data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Findings: The results showed that resilience training and the combination of positive therapy and resilience training caused a significant decrease in academic procrastination and academic stress, and a significant increase in psychological well-being and effective coping strategies. The combination of positive therapy and resilience training was more successful in psychological well-being promotion and stress reduction than resilience training. In addition, resilience training was more effective in reducing academic procrastination. Conclusions: Educational programs that incorporate multiple approaches and theories in designing educational packages have more significant effects. Therefore, the use of the present research results can be effective in the designing of preventive educational programs and improving educational achievements.

Methods and Materials: The population includes all married people in telegram's groups, population of Tehran citizens and sports spaces in Sa'adat Abad district of Tehran. The entering criteria is three-month-married couples who can read and write. Sampling was based on Convenience sampling method. Findings: Based on the results of performing factor analysis with Varimax rotation and factor load of at least 0.3 in five stages, finally, twenty-two items remained in five factors. The first five-item-factor entitled self-expressive and self-instrumental behaviors (α=0.818), the second five-item-factor is expressive behaviors related to relationship (α=0.824), the third five-item-factor called expressive and instrumental behaviors related to spouse (α=0.715), the fourth three-item-factor entitled instrumental behaviors related to relationship (α=0.827), and the fifth four-item-factor called expressive and instrumental behaviors related to environment (α=0.756). The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.861. Conclusions: According to Epstein-Baucom theory, the expressive and instrumental behaviors are in four realms- self-centered, relationship, spouse, environment-and eight factors in total. But in interviewing the four couples, it was revealed that people were not completely able to differentiate between expressive and instrumental behaviors. In the exploratory factor analysis, it was also concluded that except in the realm of the relationship, the expressive and instrumental behaviors were not separated in other three realms.

Aim and Background: Marriage is one of the most important events in the life of any person, which is influenced by characteristics of the person before marriage, such as the early maladaptive schemas. One of the treatment approaches proposed for early maladaptive schemas is emotion therapy. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy on early maladaptive schemas during marriage.
Methods and Materials: The present research plan is quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up. For this purpose, a sample of 40 couples were selected during the marriage using the available sampling method and filled out the Yang (1990) early maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire. They were given emotion-focused therapy for 12 sessions. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Findings: The results showed that emotion-focused therapy was effective on early maladaptive schemas (p=0.05). The results showed that the interactive effect of time * group and intergroup source had a significant difference in participants' scores regarding early maladaptive schemas (p=0.01).
Conclusions: Thus, emotion-focused therapy increases couples' involvement in emotion regulation by improving awareness, cognition, and emotion regulation, and reduces cognitive deviations resulting from early maladaptive schemas.
