Abstract
Background: Many factors are related to students 'academic achievement and much research has been done, but does media literacy relate to students' academic achievement motivation? Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between media literacy and academic achievement motivation of secondary school students in Tehran. Method: This is a descriptive-correlational study. From the statistical population of the second year high school female students of Tehran in the academic year 1396-1977, 50707 students, 500 were selected as the sample. Measurement tools in this study were Academic Achievement Motivation Questionnaire (Hermans, 1987) and Media Literacy Questionnaire (Considine, 1995). Pearson correlation and multiple regression were performed in a stepwise fashion. Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between media literacy and academic achievement motivation (P≤0/005). Results of multiple regression analysis showed that components of the principle of honesty in cyberspace and media, avoiding insult and disrespect in cyberspace and media, hate violence in cyberspace and media, animal and environmental protection in cyberspace and media Able to predict motivation for academic achievement(P≤0/005).

Abstract
Background: Latest neuro-cognitive frameworks claimed that working memory and cognitive flexibility as the main feature of executive functions (EF), were affected by worry and intolerance of uncertainty. Considering that the role of cognitive functions in understanding and treating emotional disorders has received less attention of researchers, it seems to be a major research gap to focus on these novel aspects.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the working memory and cognitive flexibility in individuals with high/low levels of worry and intolerance of uncertainty.
Methods: The method of this study was causal-comparative. A sample of 500 individuals were chosen availably and were screened with Pen-state worry questionnaire (PSWQ) (Meyer et al, 1990) and intolerance of uncertainty scale (IUS) (Freeston et al, 1994) and 50 individuals were selected by targeted sampling in high levels of worry and intolerance of uncertainty, as well as 50 other individuals in low levels. Finally, they undertook computerized Stroop (Ridely, 1935) and N-Back tests (Kirchner, 1958).
Results: The multivariate analysis of variance results, indicated a significant difference between working memory with F=417/49 and cognitive flexibility with F= 30/27) P= 0.001(.
Conclusion: The findings revealed that working memory and cognitive flexibility in individuals with high levels of worry and intolerance of uncertainty had a significant drop. Therefore, further considerations on this issue can be effective in treatment plans.

Abstract
Background: Psychological research and real-life reports indicate that one of the pervasive issues in today's society is the occurrence of emotional failure. This issue can lead to dysfunction of people and affect their mental health. A more in-depth investigation of this issue requires conducting research that has not been the focus of researchers in this field in current studies.
Aims: Considering the current research gap, this study seeks to examine the role of the quality of interpersonal relationships and communication beliefs in predicting the occurrence of love shock syndrome caused by emotional failure.
Methods: This research is a descriptive-post event study that was performed using the regression method. For this purpose, first, the quality of interpersonal relationships questionnaires (Pierce, & etal, 1991), communication beliefs (Aidelson & Epstein,1982), and love trauma syndrome (Ross,1999) were created online and then through links for people with experience of emotional failure in the age 18to38 years was sent in a targeted manner in Isfahan city. After reviewing the data,89 individuals were included in the analysis. People according to the scores in the Love Trauma Syndrome Questionnaire in three groups (less than9; no emotional failure (A), between 9 to 19; emotional failure with the ability to heal spontaneously (B) and 20 and above; people with emotional failure need therapeutic intervention (C), and their scores on love trauma indicators as property variables and their scores on quality, interpersonal relationships and communication beliefs were considered as predictor variables of group membership by diagnostic analysis method.
Results: The results indicate the achievement of two diagnostic functions that the first diagnostic function significantly was able to the variance of the groups(P<0.05). Among these, the structures of gender differences, interpersonal conflict with friends, and the depth of interpersonal relationships with friends, Respectively, they had the highest structural coefficient in predicting the incidence of love trauma syndrome in people who experienced emotional failure.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that people with the experience of emotional failure and love trauma syndrome have a lower quality of interpersonal relationships (higher conflict and lower interpersonal relationships with friends) and have more communication beliefs (gender differences). Based on the obtained results, effective relationship training is recommended to the general population by experts in the field of mental health.

Abstract
Background: Infertility, as a stressful condition, can significantly affect emotion regulation and the quality of marital relationships. In this regard, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) have emerged as modern psychotherapeutic approaches that emphasize improving emotion regulation and enhancing marital relationships. However, limited research has compared the effectiveness of these two approaches in infertile women.
Aims: The present study aimed to compare the effects of group counseling based on ACT and CFT on emotion regulation and marital relationship quality in infertile women.
Methods: This semi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design with a control group and one-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all infertile women in Bojnord city in 2023. From this population, 45 women were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to three groups: two experimental groups and one control group (15 participants per group). The experimental interventions, ACT and CFT, were implemented in eight 120-minute sessions for the experimental groups. The research instruments included the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003) and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1988). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and repeated measures ANOVA via SPSS 20 software.
Results: The results indicated that the effects of time, group, and the interaction between time and group were all statistically significant (p< 0.001). Pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences between the ACT and CFT groups in post-test scores of emotional reappraisal and emotional suppression, with ACT having a greater impact. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in marital relationship quality (p> 0.001). Furthermore, both experimental groups showed significant improvements compared to the control group in emotional reappraisal, emotional suppression, and marital relationship quality (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that group counseling based on ACT and CFT can effectively improve emotion regulation and marital relationship quality in infertile women. These approaches may help mitigate the psychological and familial consequences of poor emotion regulation and low marital relationship quality, potentially reducing the likelihood of conflicts and divorce.
