Aim and Background: Comparing different therapeutic approaches in psychology can help therapists identify their time, cost, and effectiveness; Therefore, the present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of Gestalt coaching training and treatment based on acceptance and commitment on emotional intelligence and self-efficacy of Tehran Telecommunication Company employees. Methods and Materials: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up with control group. The statistical population included all employees of Perso Electronic Telecommunication Company in Tehran in 1398, from which according to Cohen's table, 45 people were selected by relative random sampling and randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group. The research instruments included Bar-Ann (1980) and Scherer and Maddox (1982) self-efficacy questionnaires. The experimental groups underwent Gestalt coaching training and acceptance and commitment treatment. Data were analyzed by repeated measures and ANOVA test. Findings: The results showed that Gestalt coaching training has a significant effect on increasing employees' emotional intelligence in three stages of the test (P ≥ 0.001). Acceptance and commitment-based therapy had a significant effect on increasing employees' emotional intelligence between pre-test and post-test (P ≥ 0.001). But there is no significant effect between post-test and follow-up (P 00 0.001). Also, Gestalt coaching training and treatment based on acceptance and commitment on increasing employee self-efficacy, in the pre-test and post-test phase has a significant effect (P ≥ 0.001). However, Gestalt coaching training and treatment based on acceptance and commitment on increasing employee self-efficacy, in the post-test and follow-up phase, there is no significant effect (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that Gestalt coaching training and treatment based on acceptance and commitment can be a good way to reduce control and increase emotional intelligence and self-efficacy of employees.
Aim and Background: Research has shown that resilience and self-control are associated with marital boredom; In this regard, various therapeutic approaches have been used by researchers; therefore, this study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of emotion-focused and schema therapy approaches on ambiguity resilience, and self-control of women with marital burnout. Methods and Materials: The research method was applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental in terms of implementation method with pretest-posttest design of two experimental groups and a control group with follow-up test. From the community of women suffering from marital burnout in district three of tehran, 45 people were selected by the convenient sampling method and were replaced in three groups using the random method. Ambiguity resilience questionnaire (Freison et al., 1994) and self-control questionnaire (Gramisk et al., 1993) were used. Research data were analyzed by ANOVA using repeated measures and bonferroni's post hoc test. Findings: Findings showed that both emotion-focused and schema therapy approaches have a significant and lasting effect on increasing the resilience of ambiguity and self-control of women with marital burnout (p=0.001). Also, the result of comparing the two approaches showed that the effect of schema therapy approach on self-control of women with marital burnout is more than the emotion-focused approach (p=0.001). But the difference between the two approaches on the resilience of ambiguity was not significant. Conclusions: According to the obtained results, it seems that the use of both schema therapy and emotion-focused approaches to improve self-control and resilience of ambiguity in women with marital burnout is effective and it is recommended to be used as therapeutic approaches.
