This research was carried out with the purpose of determining the effectiveness of the self-knowledge educational package based on the theory of existentialism on the illogical beliefs of communication on people. The statistical population included all married people who referred to counseling and psychological centers in Tehran's 1st and 3rd districts with marital problems. In the current research, experimental research method of quasi-experimental type of pre-test and post-test design with control group was used. In the research sample, 16 people who had a high level of irrational beliefs were selected voluntarily based on the answers to the voluntary questionnaire of counseling centers, and 8 people were randomly replaced in the experimental and control groups. The data collection tool was Adilson and Epstein's communication irrational beliefs questionnaire, which was conducted with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group and 12 data collection training sessions. Multivariate analysis of covariance or MANOVA method was used for data analysis. The results of the analysis of covariance in the Mankva text showed that in the main hypothesis, the analysis of covariance in the variable of couples' irrational beliefs (sig=0.02, F=6.059) is significant. The results of the sub-hypotheses also showed that the analysis of covariance in the variable of destructiveness, belief in the changeability of the spouse, belief in mind reading, belief in sexual perfectionism and sexual differences of couples is significant. the self-knowledge education based on the existentialism approach is effective on the irrational beliefs of married people.

Aim and Background: In the child welfare system, children and youth under care are always considered as a fragile and at-risk population. Therefore preventive interventions are very important in reducing harms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of play-based resilience training package on social adjustment of children under the guardianship of the Welfare Organization. Methods and Materials: The present study was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included children aged 5-7 years under the guardianship of Tehran Province Welfare in 2019. First, five centers were purposefully selected and then 30 children with research criteria were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The instruments used in this study include the Rutter Children's Behavioral Disorders Questionnaire (1967), the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (Ungar & Liebenberg, 2009) and the Play-based resilience training package (Mohammadi Shemirani, 2019). For the children in the experimental group, the resilience training package was implemented in 14 sessions, each session lasting one hour. Data analysis was performed using Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. Findings: Results showed that resilience training significantly affected social adjustment and its components (hyperactivity-aggression, attention deficit disorder, social maladaptation) (p<0. 01) However, it was not significantly effective on the anxiety-depression and antisocial behavior (p>0. 05). Conclusions: According to the findings of this study, it seems that play-based resilience training package can be used to increase social adjustment of children under the guardianship of welfare Organization.

Background & Objective: Time perspective is a fundamental dimension of the psychological structure of time and there is often a seductive process that is balanced among past, present and future or mainly focused on a realm. From this, it can be said that time perspective has a regulator of human actions and affects its activities and psychological states. A balanced attitude toward time dimensions reflects mental health, while extreme attitudes toward living in an unhealthy way toward time dimensions. Since anxiety is one of the most important problems of human society. Considering the importance of adolescence and how to deal with problems, the aim of present study was investigation the effect of time perspective training on the creation of time balance and reduction anxiety of students. Methods: This applied research was in the category of semi– experimental research with pre– test, post– test and follow– up with experimental and control group. The research population were ninth grade of girls in Tehran who were studying in the academic year of 2016– 2017 and multi– stage random sampling was done. Among students who did not have time balance, they were randomly divided into two groups (n=30 for each group). Data collection tools were ZTPI questionnaire, CattLll's anxiety questionnaire (CAQ) and time perspective training package. The experimental group was trained for 10 sessions twice a week while the control group did not receive any training. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of variance for repeated measures analysis ANOVA and Bonfroni was used to analyze the data through SPSS software version 22. Results: To analyze the variance for repeated measures, we examined the assumptions of this test such as Shapiro– Wilk test, Leven test results showed the normality of the distribution of scores on both research instruments. Mauchly’ s Test of Sphericity test results confirmed the equality of variances assumption. The mean of the time balance variable for the control group in the pre– test was 21. 91, in the post– test, 21. 82 and in the follow– up period, was 21. 92, and for the experimental group in the pre– test, 20. 23, in the post– test, 27. 77, and the follow up was 27. 59. The mean of anxiety in the control group was 25. 72 in the pre– test, 25. 64 in the post– test and 26. 66 in the follow– up phase, and for the experimental group in the pre– test 27. 69, in the post– test 21 and in the stage the follow up was 21. 04. The results showed that the F– value in time balance variable was significant p<0. 001, and considering that the mean of the experimental group in the time balance variable was higher than that in the control group and post– test and follow– up stages. In addition, the findings showed that the F– value in the anxiety variable was significant p<0. 001, and considering that the mean of the experimental group in the anxiety variable decreased in comparison with the control group in the post– test and follow– up stages. Conclusion: The results showed that time perspective training had an impact on the time balance and anxiety of students and this effect remained stable during two– month follow– up phase. Therefore, anxiety of the students after training in the experimental group reduced compared to the control group and there was a significant difference between the two groups. In addition, the time perspective components in the experimental group were more balanced than the control group.
