Introduction: Research has shown that different psychological approaches have been performed in relation to perceived social support, so the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of positivist psychotherapy and reality therapy on perceived social support of addicts under treatment. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental research in terms of applied purpose and methodology. The statistical population of this study included all addicts treated in addiction treatment clinics in Kerman in 1399. Among them, 45 people were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into experimental groups of positive psychotherapy, reality therapy and control group (15 people in each). In the pre-test stage, the samples answered the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (Zimet et al., 1988). Then the protocol of 8 sessions of positivist psychotherapy Quilliam (2003) and the protocol of 8 sessions of reality therapy Soleimani and Babaei (2016) were performed on the experimental groups. Then, in the post-test stage, they answered the questionnaire again. After collecting data, the research hypothesis was answered using SPSS-23 statistical software and analysis of covariance (ANCOA). Results: The results showed that positivist psychotherapy was 60% effective and reality therapy was 31% effective on perceived social support (P≥, 0. 001). Conclusion: The authorities of addiction treatment centers are recommended to use positive psychotherapy to increase the perceived social support of addicts under treatment.

Introduction: Marital adjustment is one of the most important factors in determining the stability and durability of marital relationship. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate individual factors in marital adjustment. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted qualitatively using thematic analysis method. The sampling was purposeful and saturated and the data were obtained from 16 married couples who had been married for at least 7 years. Semi-structured interview method was used to collect data. Results: To analyze the data MAXQDR 2018 software has been used. After analyzing the content of the data, five main categories were obtained, which are: interpersonal factors (sexual satisfaction, mutual understanding, criticism, forgiveness and self-sacrifice) in order of importance. Intrapersonal factors (self-worth, positive attitude towards others). Emotional factors (feeling happy, expressing anger and worry, resilience). Personality factors (extraversion, responsibility, sociability). Social intelligence (accepting and recognizing one's feelings, acceptance). And recognizing the feelings of others, behavioral balance). Conclusion: Marital adjustment is more dependent on individual factors that occur during life.

Introduction: One of the most critical periods of life is adolescence. It is a period of rapid physical growth and emotional and psychological changes and a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. Adolescence is the period in which most behavioral maladaptations are manifested in this period. The tendency to risky behaviors is one of the behavioral maladaptations of adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parental conflicts, resilience, emotion regulation and high-risk behaviors in order to develop a model. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study that was performed on 265 male high school students in the city of Langrud in the academic year 1300-1499. Conflict between Grich, Sid and Ficham (1992) parents, Connor and David Sean Resilience Scale (CD-RIS) and emotion regulation questionnaire were used. Also, structural equation modeling and software were used to assess the fit of the researcher's proposed model. Emus 22 was used. Results: In examining the direct effects, the findings showed that parental conflicts lead to increased risky behaviors. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, improving parental conflicts directly reduces risky behaviors.
