The purpose of the study was to make and validate a scale for measuring the religious matrimony style. Therefore, a preliminary questionnaire related to the couples' duties was designed with the help of Islamic texts. The questionnaire was completed by 198 couples (wives and husbands) who were selected among other couples in Isfahan by random sampling. After analyzing factors, a 46 item scale was made for wives that includes 5 factors of emotional-sexual sincerity, communication-attribution skills toward husband, religious adherence, home management, and forgiveness-sacrifice. Also, a short 43 item scale was made for husbands that consists of 5 factors of emotional-sexual sincerity, communication-attribution skills toward wives, partnership-religious adherence, responsibility-protection, and the styles of conflict solution. The internal consistency coefficients of two scales were respectively 0.81 and 0.86. The concurrent validity of two scales was calculated with the scales of matrimony sincerity, Islamic life style, and religious commitment that confirmed the high validity.

The present research was conducted to identify the role of urban management in promoting the citizens' Islamic-Iranian life style and to answer the question of whether there is a difference between that role in the desirable situation and the current. The research employed a descriptive-survey methodology to analyze the Islamic-Iranian life style in the social, cultural, and economic aspects and in the desirable and current situations with the help of a researcher-designed questionnaire in Zone 5, Tehran. The findings showed that there is a meaningful deference between the desirable situation and the current. The most important role in the social, cultural, and economic aspects respectively belongs to social happiness, free time, and environmental protection and sustainable development. In addition, the research findings in connection with the desirable situation confirm the important role of urban management in all aspects of Islamic-Iranian life style.

This study aimed to introduce a pattern for adjusting the interest in Islam (based on the concept of piety) as a cognitive-emotional pattern and to make comparisons between that and the cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing the anxiety in men patients. In this pattern, the interest in world is a function of the interest in hereafter and living in the world is an introduction of living in hereafter and the pattern knows the independent interest in world as a damage. The pattern was designed with the help of Islamic texts and formed in a therapy program for clinical interventions. After having a clinical interview with the patients, who suffered from generalized anxiety disorder, were selected. The Cattle anxiety questionnaire was used for the pre-test, post-test, and tracking. The selected patients were divided into three groups. Two groups received their therapy program for 8 weeks and were compared with a control group. ANOVA with repeated measure was employed for comparing these three groups. The findings showed that both therapy methods had some effects on reducing the anxiety, but the influence of the pattern was meaningfully more than the effect of the cognitive-behavioral therapy.

The aim of the research was to investigate the role of personality factors in predicting the different religiosity aspects. 436 people were selected from the students of Payam-Nour University of Tehran as the simple size and they responded to the demographic questionnaire, the NEO five-factor inventory (the short one), and the religiosity questionnaire. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between the different religiosity aspects and the personality factors. In the research, the only personality factor that does not have any significant relationship with the religiosity aspects is the extroversion. The personality factors found as the most important predictors of religiosity aspects are respectively the openness to experience, the conscientiousness, and the agreeableness. According to the findings, the personality factors can predict the different religiosity aspects and among them, the openness to experience is the most important predictor of religiosity aspects and the next two factors are the conscientiousness and the agreeableness.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between the spiritual intelligence and the organizational commitment and the methodology is descriptive-correlational. The population was all the physical education teachers of Ministry of Education in Area 4, Isfahan and randomly 80 teachers were selected based on the Cochran formula. The Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI) (2008) and the Meyer's organizational commitment questionnaire (1985), each one with 24 multiple choice questions, were employed for collecting the data. Both the questionnaires were in the form of 5 point Likert scale and their Cronbach's coefficient alpha was respectively 0.88 and 0.79. Analyzing the data by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient, regression, and analysis of variance showed that there is a significant relationship between the spiritual intelligence and the organizational commitment (r=0.30, p<0.05). There is also a relationship between the aspects of spiritual intelligence and the organizational commitment, but the relationships of the personal meaning production, the transcendental awareness, and the conscious state expansion with the organizational commitment are not significant. Among the aspects of spiritual intelligence, in the first step, the critical existential thinking causes the organizational commitment.

The present study, which was a descriptive-analytical research, was conducted with the aim of proposing a psychological analysis of Nashouz among women and it led to some results. The Nashouz causes to not meet the sexual needs and likely divorce. In the families, one of the causes of violence against the women is the men's sexual failure. The Nashouz is caused by physical, psychological, and communicational factors. Quran restricts the men's power, roots the Nashouz, and prevents from the men's primary violence by a three-step process. The solutions in Quran for the Nashouz consist of three steps of cognitive (etiology), emotional (emotional confrontation), and behavioral that each step is in consistent with some causes of the Nashouz. The third step (in difficult cases such as pertinacity, malice, hatred of husband, dependence on another person) is an informant strike that does not harm in any way and warn the hard consequences of the Nashouz. Therefore, the violence is not against the women and causes to protect the family.

This research aimed to make a scale for diagnosing the depression based on Some Quranic Verses; thus, the methods applied in the research included the content analysis, the exploratory factor analysis, and the analysis of psychometric attributes. In the first step, six depression models and their psychological criteria were deduced from Quran under the supervision of Quranic scientists. After that, the items were designed and their content validity was analyzed by ten religious experts and then they were elementarily performed in a sample of 100. The content analysis showed that the theatrical results confirmed the results in action. Six factors obtained included the seclusiveness, the feeling of futility, the aversion of religion, the lack of confidence in God, the self-sympathy, and the mood swings.
