Abstract

Background: Numerous studies have predicted the readiness for addiction and metacognitive and emotional beliefs and five major personality factors. But research that has developed a model for predicting addiction readiness based on metacognitive and emotional beliefs: the mediating role of the five major personality factors has been overlooked. Aims: To develop a predictive model of addiction readiness based on metacognitive beliefs, excitement with the mediating role of five major personality factors. Method: The research design was descriptive correlational. The statistical population was all employees of the ninth and tenth phases of Assaluyeh Company (fifth refinery) in 2019. 250 people were selected as available samples by sampling method. The research instruments included Weed & et al addiction prone scale (1992), Wells, & Cartwright-Hatton metacognitive beliefs (2004), Zuckerman's sensation seeking (1993), and NEO's personality questionnaire (1985). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and path analysis. Results: The variables of metacognitive beliefs and sensation seeking had a significant positive relationship with addiction prone. All the Big Five of personality traits, except neuroticism, had a significant negative relationship with addiction prone. The results of the path analysis indicated that the model fits appropriately, and that  sensation seeking, both directly and through neuroticism and agreement; and metacognitive beliefs, could indirectly predict  addiction prone through neuroticism and agreement (p< 0/001). Conclusions: Metacognitive beliefs and sensation seeking, along with other factors, such as personality traits, play a key role in addiction prone, and the need to pay attention to these factors is essential in prevention programs.

Abstract

Background: Several studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of parent-child interaction therapy on internalized disorders in children. However, no study has been conducted on the effectiveness of emotion-based parent-child interaction therapy on the symptoms of depression disorder in children.
Aims: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of emotion-based parent-child interaction therapy on parents’ reaction to negative emotions in children with depression.
Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of the study included all boys with depression disorder at the age range of 4 to 5.5 years in Isfahan. Thirty children and parents were selected by purposeful sampling method and were randomly assigned to two equal groups. Preschool Children Emotion Checklist (Lobby et al., 2004) and the Parents' Reaction to Child's Negative Emotions Scale (Mirabel, 2015) were used to collect data. The mentioned therapy was implemented in 14 sessions of 1 hour per week for the subjects in the experimental group, but the control group did not receive any treatment. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance.
Results: The results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the children of experimental and control groups in terms of mean scores of depression symptoms in the post-test phase (F = 24.63, P = 0.000 and Eta = 0.607). Analysis of covariance showed that this therapy in the subjects of the experimental group in the post-test phase improved the score of parents’ reaction to children's negative emotions (F = 14.46, P = 0.001 and Eta = 0.637). (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Children and parents participating in this therapeutic program showed improvement in depression symptoms and parents participating in this therapeutic program showed improvement in parents’ reaction to the negative emotions of children with depression.

Abstract

Background: The choice of a field of study is one of the most important decisions a student makes in their life. Several factors influence this decision. Given the pivotal nature of this stage in students' lives, it is essential to scientifically investigate the roles of various factors such as environmental, cognitive, and motivational factors in the selection of a field of study. However, so far, no study has been conducted to determine the contribution of each of these factors.
Aims: The aim of this research was to investigate the environmental, cognitive, and motivational factors influencing the inclination to choose a major in mathematics and physics in Iran.
Methods: The current research employed a descriptive correlational method. The participants consisted of 400 ninth-grade students from Yasuj city, who were selected through a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. All of them completed questionnaires on task value and expectancy of success (Jo et al., 2013), multiple intelligences (McKenzie, 1999), emotional intelligence, locus of control, previous math achievement, teacher's perception of previous math achievement, parent's opinion on choosing a math-related major, and a scale measuring the inclination to choose a major in mathematics and physics (Vaezirifar et al., unpublished). The internal relationships between variables were tested using structural equation modeling in the Lisrel software.
Results: The social beliefs of the participants had an indirect structural effect on the inclination to choose a major in mathematics and physics (p < 0.05). Additionally, previous math achievement had an indirect structural effect on the inclination to choose a major in mathematics and physics, while multiple intelligences did not have a direct structural effect on the inclination to choose a major in mathematics and physics. Furthermore, task value had a direct structural effect on the inclination to choose a major in mathematics and physics (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on these findings, it is possible to design more targeted educational and counseling programs for students so that they can make better-informed academic decisions. Furthermore, teachers and parents can benefit from these findings to better understand their role in guiding students toward mathematics and physics majors and assisting them in making more successful choices. Ultimately, this research can contribute significantly to promoting mathematical and physical sciences in society and developing a highly skilled human resource base in these fields.

Abstract

Background: Therapists have recognized that treatment must be tailored to the patient's unique personality and background. Psychotherapeutic and counseling approaches that do not consider cultural backgrounds may even put clients at risk. Therefore, cultural adaptation, a systematic process, is essential to tailor treatment to the cultural context of clients and should be implemented according to scientific models.
Aims: The present study aimed to conduct a narrative review of models and patterns of cultural adaptation in psychotherapy and counseling methods.
Methods: This research was conducted using a narrative review method. The research population included English books and articles published in databases including APAPsycNet, Google Scholar, PubMed with the keywords cultural adaptation, psychotherapeutic interventions, models, and methods in the time range (1990-2023) which were used based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: This paper reviews the literature on cultural issues in psychotherapeutic interventions as well as the definition and types of cultural adaptation, its essential components, and finally 8 cultural adaptation models including: 1. Ecological Validity Framework, 2. The Multidimensional Model for Understanding Culturally Responsive Psychotherapies, 3. Influence of Culture on Therapies, 4. Cultural Adaptation Process Model (CAPM), 5. Hybrid Prevention Program Model (HPPM), 6. Leong's Cultural Accommodation Model (CAM), 7. Selective and Directed Treatment Adaptation Framework, 8. Heuristic Framework (HF).
Conclusion: Cultural adaptation is a systematic process that should be carried out according to the principles and protocols established in scientific texts, and most experts call for a systematic and rigorous process. Cultural adaptation models address the modification of the process and content of treatments to increase engagement, acceptability, and congruence of treatment with the client's culture. This narrative review emphasizes the importance of cultural adaptation in psychotherapy and counseling. It explores existing models and frameworks to raise awareness in this field, particularly among Iranian professionals and researchers. By utilizing these models, practitioners can tailor interventions to better suit the cultural context of their clients, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of their services.

Abstract

Background: Mothers of children with intellectual disabilities face numerous psychological challenges, including low distress tolerance, rumination, and depression. These factors can negatively impact their quality of life and caregiving performance. Compassion-focused therapy, as a novel psychotherapeutic approach, focuses on increasing self-compassion and reducing self-criticism, which may help improve these variables. However, there have been limited studies examining the effectiveness of this therapy on distress tolerance, rumination, and depression in this specific group.
Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on distress tolerance, rumination, and depression in mothers of children with intellectual disabilities.
Methods: The research design was semi-experimental, using a pretest-posttest method with a control group. The statistical population included all mothers of children with intellectual disabilities registered with the Welfare Organization of Marand who had care and support files for their children. A total of 40 mothers were selected using the available sampling method and responded to the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1996), the Distress Tolerance Scale (Simons & Gaher, 2005), and the Rumination Response Scale (Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991). Data were analyzed using covariance analysis in SPSS version 26.
Results: The results showed that the therapeutic compassion approach significantly reduced depression in mothers of children with intellectual disabilities (p < 0.05). Additionally, this therapeutic method significantly affected the reduction of rumination and psychological distress in these mothers (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: These results indicate that this therapeutic approach can be used as an effective intervention to enhance the mental health and quality of life of these mothers. Utilizing this therapy in counseling and psychotherapy centers can help reduce psychological burden and improve the caregiving performance of this group.

Abstract

Background: Work-family conflict and burnout are closely related because stressors that can cause harm at work can also lead to burnout over time. There is a research gap in the field of examining coping strategies and their effectiveness in women suffering from burnout and work-family conflict.

Aims: The present study aimed to determine the fit of the causal model predicting burnout based on work-family conflict mediated by job stress and coping styles in employed women.

Methods: The present research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of implementation, and is of the correlation type. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female employees employed on a contractual and formal basis in the central organization of Azad University in Tehran in the fall of 2024, from which 320 people were selected using the available sampling method. The research tools included the Burnout Assessment Tool (Schaufeli et al., 2020), the Multidimensional Measure of Work–Family Conflict (Carlson et al., 2000), the Health and Safety Executive Qustionnaire (Cousins et al., 2004), and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (Folkman & Lazarus, 1980). Data analysis was performed using the structural equation method and SPSS-22 and AMOS-24 software.

Results: The results showed that the fit indices obtained from the analysis supported an acceptable structural model fit with the collected data (df/2=3.12, CFI=0.925, GFI=0.913, AGFI=0.870 and RMSEA=0.069). Burnout is predicted based on work-family conflict with the mediation of job stress (P=0.040, Z=2.04) and emotion-focused (P=0.036, Z=2.09) and problem-focused (P=0.010, Z=2.56) coping styles in employed women.

Conclusion: Interventions can be made to increase and improve problem-focused coping styles, thereby reducing work-family conflict, stress, and burnout.
