This was a descriptive correlation study. A convenient sample of 100 patients referred to the Association of East Azarbaijan province were selected for the study. Data were collected using multi-dimensional scale of perceived social support, Coping Styles questionnaire, Resilience Scale, and Quality of Life Questionnaire. For the analysis of data Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were used. Results show a significant positive correlation between different aspects of perceived social support, coping strategies and resilience and the quality of life. Furthermore, findings indicate that quality of life can be predicted by perceived social support, coping strategies and resilience. The amount of perceived social support, coping strategies and resilience patients with MS disease can influence their physical health.

Two hundred eighty nine subjects from production line workers were selected via random selection participated in this research. This research is a descriptive - correlation study and a set of questionnaires consisting of organizational justice with 18 items including of distributive justice with 5 items developed by Niehof and Moorman (1993), procedural justice with 7 items developed by Moorman (1991) and relational justice with 6 items which developed by Moorman (1991) and second one for measuring of work place violence intention with 21 items, which developed by researchers. Data were analyzed with use of Pearson’s correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis. The analysis data showed that there are negative significant relationships between distributive, procedural and relational perceived organizational justice with physical, verbal and total work place violence intention (P³0.01). Moreover, results of stepwise regression analysis showed that the relational justice were able to predict significantly, physical violence (F=19.1, P ³0.01) and total violence (F=21.1, P³0.01) intention. Furthermore, procedural justice was able to predict significantly, verbal violence intention (F=21.44, P³0.01).

This research mainly tends to investigate effectiveness of imago therapy (therapeutic relationship) group education on the attitude of lovemaking couples. The field study method was of pretest and posttest with the control group. The statistical society includes all the couples referring to Ahvaz Oil Counseling center in 2010. To perform the project, 30 couples were selected in random sampling method and placed into two groups of trial and control. The experimental intervention (imago therapy) was operated on the trial group in 9 sessions. To analyze data, inferential statistical method of multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) is used. The research results with a meaningful level of P<0.05, showed that imago therapy education in group style leads to increase the attitude of lovemaking.

The purpose of this research was to compare the maladaptive schema of the addicts who have or haven’t been successful to quit their addiction. The research has been done by ex post facto study.
