The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effectiveness of the training package of quality of life in school on the help-seeking and academic satisfaction of students.Method: the research design was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test control group. The statistical population of the research includes; all the female students from the second year of elementary schools in Khorram Abad. The sampling method was a multi-stage cluster, where the target sample was randomly allocated in two experimental (20 people) and control (20 people) groups. The data were collected using Ryan and Pintrich's academic help-seeking (1997), Sheikhul-Islami and Ahmadi's academic satisfaction questionnaires (2012). The experimental group was trained by the quality of life package at school for 12 sessions, and they did not receive a training certificate; after completing the training course, both groups were given a post-test. The data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance.Results: The results obtained from the analysis showed that there is a significant difference (P<0.001) between the post-test grades of help-seeking and academic satisfaction of the students in the experimental group.Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of the educational package of the quality of life in school leads to an increase in the amount of help-seeking and academic satisfaction of students.

Introduction: Couples facing infidelity often suffer severe emotional trauma. To investigate the relationship between moral intelligence, perfectionism, and attitudes toward extramarital relationships in married men, we conducted a study.
method: The present research is a correlational study of the structural equation model type. The statistical population consisted of 100 married men from Kermanshah in 2022. The sampling method used was availability. Data collection tools included the moral intelligence questionnaires of Lenik and Keel (2005), Whatley's (2008) attitude scale towards extramarital relationships, and Hill's (2004) perfectionism scale. Data analysis was done in two parts: descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations) using SPSS 25 and PLS 3 statistical software.
Findings: The results of the findings showed a negative and significant relationship between moral intelligence and attitude towards extramarital relationships (r=-0.274 and p05/0>), and a significant negative relationship between moral intelligence and perfectionism (r=-0.251 and p05/0>), there is a positive and significant relationship between perfectionism and attitude towards extramarital relationships (r = 0.234 and p05/0>), as well as a negative and significance relationship between moral intelligence and attitude towards extramarital relationships with the mediating role of perfectionism (r=-0.059 and p05/0>).
Conclusion: Moral intelligence is related to perfectionism and extramarital relationships, and high moral intelligence can predict the positive aspects of perfectionism and a more negative attitude towards extramarital relationships.

Introduction: Addiction is one of the most important deviations and social harms and is considered a social disease whose physical and mental effects have negative consequences on the individual, family members, and society. This research was conducted to compare family functioning, social support, and irrational beliefs in open addicts undergoing compulsory treatment and self-reported addicts in treatment centers.
Method: The research design is a comparative causal one, with the statistical population consisting of all open addicts undergoing compulsory treatment and self-identified drug addicts from private drug addiction treatment camps in Ahvaz. A total of 170 individuals (80 open addicts and 90 self-identified drug addicts) volunteered to participate in the study. The data was collected through the family functioning questionnaire of Cong et al. (2022), social support by Zimet et al. (1988), and unreasonable beliefs of the researcher (1402). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance.
Findings: The findings showed that family functioning, social support, and irrational beliefs of self-identified addicts and open addicts are different.
Conclusion: It is suggested that to improve the quality of the functioning of the families of self-identified drug addicts and open addicts, it is necessary to prepare a familiarization course with the optimal functioning of the family; attention to social support, and reduction of irrational thinking is recommended.

Introduction: Place attachment is the emotional bond that a person forms with a place. This concept influences people's life experiences in three domains: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of the length of residence on the relationship between place attachment and mental health and social well-being in women living in Tehran.Method: This was a descriptive-correlation study and the sample consisted of 241 women living in Tehran. They were selected by the convenience sampling method. The instruments used in this study were Safarinia's place attachment scale (2011), Besharat's mental health scale (2009), and Keys' social well-being scale (1998). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SPSS v.20 and Smart PLS v.3 software.Results: The results indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship between place attachment and mental health, as well as between place attachment and social well-being. Although there was a positive and significant relationship between the length of residence and place attachment, the length of residence did not moderate the relationship between place attachment and mental health and social well-being.Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that place attachment has a significant role in enhancing women's mental health and social well-being.

Introduction: Social anxiety is one of the most debilitating anxiety disorders, the symptoms of which begin at the beginning of adolescence and continue until the later periods of development. This disorder creates disorders in personal life, beliefs, interactions, work life, and other functional aspects of a person. Therefore, identifying effective interventions in patients is of particular importance. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of behavioral activation and mode deactivation therapies on antisocial core beliefs and solving the social problem of 15-18-year-old boys with high social anxiety.Method: The current research was a semi-experimental type of pre-test, post-test, and a two-month follow-up period with a control group. The statistical population included all students aged 15 to 18 with social anxiety in the 2nd education district of Isfahan in the academic years 2021 and 2022. For this purpose, using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method, 600 students were screened from among boys' high schools in the 2nd education district of Isfahan by implementing Paklak's social anxiety scale adolescent (2004). They were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (20 people each) and a control group (20 people). The people in the experimental groups participated in parallel and simultaneous treatment sessions of behavioral activation and mode deactivation; But for the control group, there was no intervention. The measurement tools included short form-compound core beliefs questionnaire by Apsche & De-Meo (2012) and a social problem-solving inventory by Drzila et al. (2002). To analyze the data, the statistical method of analysis of variance of repeated measurements and Bonferroni's posthoc test was used in SPSS-24 software.Findings: The results showed that behavioral activation therapy on social problem solving and mode deactivation therapy on antisocial core beliefs had stronger effectiveness than other treatment methods for 15-18-year-old boys with social anxiety and the effects of the interventions were stable over time (p<0.01).Conclusion: The findings of this research emphasize the importance of paying attention to antisocial core beliefs and social solving problems in adolescents with high social anxiety and have important practical implications for therapeutic interventions for adolescents with social anxiety.
