Researchers find that one of the reasons for withdraw from physical activity is burnout, which is the result of stress resulting in severe physical needs, psychological and emotional arise. To predict burnout, the issue is whether the passion to physical activity can play a role on it? So, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between type of passion and athletic burnout in the physical education students of Tehran University. The study population was composed of all students at Tehran University, which 173 volunteer completed questionnaires. The research method was correlation. The instruments used included a demographic questionnaire, Passion Scale of Vallerand et all (2011) and athletic burnout questionnaire (ABQ) Raedek and Smith (2003). In this study, according to the normal distribution of data, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data at a significance level of P≤0/05. The results showed that obsessive passion has significant relationship with all subscales of athlete burnout (with emotional and physical exhaustion 0/50, with reduced sense of accomplishment 0/23, and with Devaluation 0/26). On the other hand, there are no significant relation between harmonious passion with dimensions of burnout. According to the results, athletes who have obsessive passion about their activities are more likely to experience an athletic burnout, and there are few possibilities for athletes with harmonious enthusiasm to experience burnout.

Abstract
Background: Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder in a child that persists throughout life. The main clinical symptom is attention deficit and hyperactivity. These children are weaker than their peers in social skills and show more behavioral and social problems. Research shows that cultural differences are essential in diagnosing and treating the disorder in the early years. To moderate the effects of the disorder, it is necessary to use effective interventions in family, school, and society. In the study community, There is a research gap in the lived experience of parents with children with ADHD disorder.
Aims: This amied to understand the problems of Iranian parents in the development of children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder through their lived experience.
Methods: A qualitative approach and phenomenological method were used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by phone and in-person With 12 parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder selected by purposive and available sampling, The data were analyzed with the seven-step method of Colaizzi.
Results: Data analysis led to the extraction of 4 main themes and 19 subthemes. The main themes are Parents' challenges, parents' strategies for the problem, behaviors aggravating symptoms of the disorder, and the effects of ADHD on parents.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, which are in line with the social, cultural, and lived experiences of parents of children with ADHD disorder, it seems that part of the parents' problems in the core family is not accepting the influence of the disorder on the child's behavior. In this case, the child's undesirable behavior by the parent is perceived as intentional behavior that leads to negative effects on the parent-child relationship. At the social level, due to the lack of awareness of the behavioral differences of the child with the disorder, parents are blamed for their parenting method and the child receives the wrong label. Parents typically cope with this social issue by concealing the disorder from the child and others and limiting family social relations, Which led to the loss of the companionship of the child and the support of society.

Abstract
Background: Proper formation of the couple's identity is an essential condition for stability of a desirable marriage. Couple identity is culture-dependent and can take many forms and have different consequences based on various factors such as the way the couples cooperate. Despite importance of this topic, research seldom has been conducted to identify couple identity patterns in Iranian culture.
Aims: This study aimed to identify the couple identity patterns among women in Tehran.
Methods: The current research was conducted with a qualitative approach using Glaser’s grounded theory method in Tehran (2022-2023). The sample included 16 married women in Tehran, who were selected through purposive sampling (theoretical type). The data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews, and then the data were and analyzed using Glaser’s method in three steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding.
Results: In the present study, four patterns of women's couple identity were identified: cooperative, self-seeking-consoling, self-sacrificing and undeveloped identity. Each of these patterns are different from each other based on the characteristics of the following five axes: manifestation of the couple's personal identity, communication space, supportive-emotional space, power sharing space, and consequences.
Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrate that due to the balanced contribution of the relationship parties in the collaborative couple identity pattern, this pattern can be considered the ideal relationship pattern as compared to the other patterns. It is recommended that the findings of this study be made available to experts in the field in order that they can guide couples towards the desired marital identity and improve the quality of marital relationships through education and therapy.

Internet-based versions of ACT offer affordable, confidential, and accessible solutions, making them increasingly popular for addressing marital issues and promoting mental health.
Aims: The aim of the research was to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy with its online version on marital interactions, to control the emotions of women affected by marital infidelity.
Methods: The current research was semi-experimental with three groups and in three phases: pre-test, post-test and follow-up (two months). The statistical population included women affected by marital infidelity who had referred to counseling and psychology centers under welfare supervision in Shiraz city in 1401. 45 people were selected as the sample population using available sampling method. The control group did not receive any of the interventions. The face-to-face group underwent 8 treatment sessions and the online group also learned the necessary treatment through the website in 8 sessions. In order to collect data, Guttman's (MISQ, 1999) marital interaction stability questionnaires and Williams et al.'s (ACS, 1997) emotional control questionnaires were used.
Results: The results showed that both face-to-face and online methods are effective on marital interactions and emotional control of women affected by marital infidelity. Also, no significant difference was observed between the effectiveness of two face-to-face and online methods on marital interactions and emotional control. This face-to-face and online therapy can help a lot in family issues and help couples affected by marital infidelity.
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that ACT helps individuals strengthen relationships based on accepting circumstances and personal values, leading to healthier communication and better conflict management. Women who underwent ACT reported significant improvements in marital interactions and reduced conflicts.
