The data were gathered by an author-made demographic questionnaire and the questionnaires of early maladaptive schemas, illogical beliefs, and religiosity. Then, they were analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression. The results showed that there is a significant correlation among the research variables and the variables of early maladaptive schemas and illogical beliefs can predict the religiosity.

This study was conducted with the purpose of explaining the legal gaps of women's human and emotional rights and providing solutions for filling them and with the help of a documentary-comparative method. Legal thoughts of women's rights related to their role as wives and adapting them to jurisprudential teachings show that lawmakers pay special attention to women's economic rights. According to the goals of Shariah and objective experiences of family-related injuries, although women's human and emotional rights are prior to their economic rights, they have not found an acceptable position in the social and judicial institutions yet due to not predicting them in the Constitution; thus in this study, first, the capacities of two legislative and judicial institutions were examined and then, based on the family-related legal limitations, the solutions of registering supplementary rules, the revival of arbitration institution, and deployment of restorative performance guarantee were presented as legal ways to revive women's human and emotional rights.

One of the most important moral challenges that damages the personal and social wellbeing is the mismatch between moral knowledge and moral behavior; thus, this research was done with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of educational interventions on the moral identity of teenage girls and applied a quasi-experimental method and pretestposttest design with a control group. The population consisted of high school girls in the city of Qom, zone 1, and one high school was selected as the sample by the convenience sampling (with an agreement with students' parents). Five classes were randomly selected among that high school classes and all students of these classes responded to ego identity questionnaire. After analyzing the questionnaires, 30 students, who were in the category of moratorium identity, were placed in two test and control groups of 15 to receive an intervention. The findings analyzed by the analysis of covariance showed that the educational intervention had a significant and positive effect on the moral identity of teenagers with a moratorium identity in posttest and follow-up phases.

In order to have a proper understanding and explanation of women's social-political rights, it is needed to know its jurisprudential fundamentals, because Iranian constitutional law is based on Islamic jurisprudential fundamentals. Jurisprudential rules are the reasons cited for the scope of women's political rights. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of jurisprudential fundamentals and rules in determining women's political rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran and with the help of a descriptiveanalytical method. Due to the numerous citable jurisprudential fundamentals and rules, this study tried to examine the effect of each jurisprudential rule on understanding and explaining legal principles and respond to these questions: What is a basic rule with which women can have political rights when there are not any religious reasons in that case? What is the role of each of these general rules in analyzing legal principles? Based on the principle of non-guardianship, many jurisprudential theories rule on reducing the scope of women's political rights in assuming guardianship-related positions; while, according to some principles, such as permission, equality, sharing, and justice, mentioned in the Islamic Republic of Iran's Constitution, policies, and high priority documents, the extension of scope of women's political rights are emphasized.

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a rational-spiritual approach on the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder among women and was conducted with a quasi-experimental method and pretest-posttest design with a control group and a one-month follow-up phase. The population contained all women who referred to the counseling centers of Qom. After a definite diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder among clients, 22 women were selected as the sample by the convenience sampling and based on the entry and exit criteria. These women were placed in two test and control groups of 11. After an intervention performed in the test group, the data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance and analysis of variance with repeated measures. The findings demonstrated that cognitive-behavioral therapy with a rational-spiritual approach had a significant and positive effect on the reduction of symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder among women and it was perpetual during the one-month follow-up phase. According to the results, cognitive-behavioral therapy with a rational-spiritual approach reinforces the rational beliefs, decreases the extreme religious-spiritual fears of God and sins and reduces the symptoms of obsessivecompulsive disorder with modifying the self-concept, God-image, and hereafter-concept.
