Abstract The purpose of the research was to investigate the effectiveness of triangulation on marital satisfaction, and the research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all troubled couples who referred to the Rouzbeh Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in the city of Tehran in a period of 6 months, which included a total of 75 couples, of which 32 couples (16 couples) were available as a sample through diagnostic interview and sampling. They were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 16 people (8 pairs) test and control. Subjects responded to Enrich's Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (1998). Non-triangulation training was taught to the experimental group in 8 sessions of 90 minutes using Boeni's method, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Then, after the triangulation training, both groups answered the questionnaires again. Analysis of covariance test was used to check the inferential statistics of the research. Examining the modified averages with the covariance method showed that the average marital satisfaction in the control group was 142.04 and the average marital satisfaction in the experimental group was 164.21, and this difference indicates that the experimental group has a level (P<0.05) of satisfaction. It has more marital satisfaction and self-differentiation training for couples can be used to increase marital satisfaction.

Abstract The present research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between implicit theories of intelligence and epistemological beliefs and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in students. Methodology: The research was of the correlational type and the statistical population of the research was all female students of the second secondary level in the 1st and 2nd regions of Tehran province. The sample of this research included 250 students of the second secondary level in Tehran, who were selected based on multi-stage cluster sampling. The tools used in the research were Schumer's (1998) epistemological beliefs questionnaire, Abdul Fattah and Yates' (2006) implicit intelligence beliefs, and Garnefsgi et al.'s (2001) cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multiple regression and Pearson correlation coefficient) and using spss20 software. The findings showed that there is a relationship between epistemological beliefs and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in students, and the components of epistemological beliefs and cognitive emotion regulation strategies have the ability to predict the implicit beliefs of intelligence. The results of the present research can be used in developing educational protocols to increase the academic performance of students.

Abstract One of the main topics in the discussion of biology in the 21st century is human development, which has many advantages such as cognitive development and aesthetics. However, one of the important approaches in this field is "strengthening ethics". A society with a majority of moral people is considered a historical dream for humanity. Individuals differ from each other in terms of moral reasoning, but the process involved in these differences in the brain is somewhat known; In other words, the diversity of people in understanding moral values may be related to regional changes in brain structure. In this review article, all articles published in the last ten years in the field of ethics were examined. This search was done through Google Scholar, Scopus and PubMed scientific databases and the necessary information was extracted. Ethics is integrated at the level of performance, not at the cognitive level, which means that there is no "moral core" and no known and definite area or structure that can show ethics or even ideation and planning of ethical behavior in an individual. , there is no moral information is processed in different areas of the brain such as temporal, frontal and frontal, but ethics can be considered as a function of maximum integration with emotions, social cognition and other sensitivities, which is done by using the organization Cognitive structures depict a common world of human relations and are used in social life.

The purpose of the present research is to explain the role of competitiveness in predicting the level of aggression among young people with the mediating role of family interactions. In order to measure competitiveness, the standard questionnaire of Maxwell and Morris (2007) was used, for aggression, the questionnaire of Bass and Perry (1992) was used, and finally, to measure the mediating role of family interactions, the 10-question questionnaire of David Elson and Howard Barres (1985) was used. has been The validity and reliability of this questionnaire has been confirmed in this and similar researches. The results of the research show that all the sub-hypotheses of the research along with the first main hypothesis are confirmed with 95% confidence according to the significance level lower than 0.05; Therefore, according to the results of this research, there is a difference between the role of competition in the dimensions of satisfaction resulting from achieving better performance, desire to win, motivation to try, feeling satisfied with doing tasks correctly and preferring to do more difficult tasks by predicting the level of aggression. There is a significant relationship between young people. Healthy competition, if it is on its way, can prevent the occurrence of aggression among adolescent boys, and family interactions have not been able to reduce or moderate the aggression created during competition.

Abstract The present research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of quality of life therapy training on reducing conflicts and its dimensions.

Abstract Drug use among teenagers is a growing social phenomenon that many factors contribute to its creation. In this regard, the aim of the present study was to determine the role of the dark triad of personality and parent-child relationship in predicting addiction tendencies in teenage girls in Tehran. This study was a correlational study and the statistical population of the study included teenagers referring to harm reduction centers (DIC) in Tehran.

Data were collected using the Dark Personality Traits Questionnaire (Johnson and Webster, 2010), Parent-Child Relationship Assessment (Fine et al., 1983) and Addiction Readiness Questionnaire (Wade and Butcher, 1992). The obtained information was analyzed using correlation test and multivariate regression in a step-by-step method. The results showed that there is a relationship between the dark trinity of personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism and antisociality) and the parent-child relationship with addiction tendencies (P<0.05). Also, the results showed that antisociality, relationship with mother and relationship with father predict 0.30, 0.30 and 0.22 respectively of tendency to addiction in teenagers.
