All of them completed the emotional labor and teaching satisfaction questionnaire of Yin and the performance questionnaire of Paterson. Data were tested through the modeling of structural equations. Findings showed that the measurement model for the emotional labor is valid with three markers of surface action, deep action and natural expression of emotion.Results: Teachers’ understanding of emotional job demands had a direct structural effect on the application of emotional labor strategies by the teachers (GA= -0.28, t = -3.02, P<0.01). Teachers’ understanding of emotional job demands had an indirect effect on the teaching satisfaction through the strategies of emotional labor (Sobel test =3.43, p<0.001). Also, teachers’ understanding of emotional job demands had an indirect effect on teachers’ performance with the mediator role of emotional labor strategies (Sobel test= 3.14, p<0.001). The application of the emotional labor strategies had a direct effect on the teaching satisfaction (BE= -1.09, t= -19.01, P< 0.001) and teachers’ performance (BE= -1.17, t= -5.08, P<0.01). Teaching satisfaction had a direct effect on teachers’ performance (BE= -0.39, t=2.38, P<0.01).Conclusion: Emotional intelligence significantly moderated the structural relationship between teachers’ understanding of emotional job demands, the use of emotional labor strategies, teaching satisfaction and performance. This is while, in this model the measurement of emotional labor did not play a moderator role. Emotional job demands and emotional labor strategies were effective antecedents for performance and teaching satisfaction of teachers, especially teachers with high emotional intelligence. Job satisfaction and performance of the teachers should be studied considering the individual factors such as the emotional job demands, emotional labor strategies and the role that emotional intelligence plays. https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67957_d0f9e5026cbaebad4161ac24ebe9f25f.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119410420170101Effect of Cognitive-Behavioral Couple Therapy on Premature Ejaculation of People Referred to Medical Centers14715067958ENMustafaBolghan-AbadiUniversity of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran.Sayyed AhmadAhmadiProfessor, Department of Counseling, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IranFatemehBahramiProfessor, Department of Counseling, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IranMaryamFatehizadeAssociate Professor, Department of Counseling, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran0000-0002-0406-0057RezvanoosadatJazayeriAssistant Professor, Department of Counseling, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IranJournal Article20170315Aim & background: The premature ejaculation (PE) in most prevalence sexual problems among men. Drug use can have significant and damaging short-term and long-term effects, therefore, non-pharmacological treatment as effective are appropriate alternative to medications. The aim of this research was to study the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral couple therapy (CBCT) on PE of men who referred to medical centers of Neyshabur.Method: Current research was conducted through semi experimental method with pretest-posttest and control group design on 40 men with PE (self-reported). The research sample was selected men who referred to medical centers of Neyshabur in the period of September 2016 to September 2017 and their problem was psychological based medicine diagnosis. They assigned randomly in control and experimental groups (20 subjects each group). The experimental group has been received CBCT intervention in 9 sessions. The control group was in wait list. The Chronometer was the research instrument.Findings: The results showed that control and experimental groups, before intervention, have significant difference in term of PE (p=0.45). Also, there was no significant difference before and after intervention in control group in term of PE (p=0.43); but there was a significant difference before and after intervention in experimental group in term of PE (p=0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between control and experimental groups in term of PE (p=0.001).Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded CBCT has effective influence on reducing the PE of men. Actually, emerging the partner in treatment would be more effective.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67958_0546dc98b57719a11e398f076c340d7c.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119410420170101Examination of a Causal Model of Relationship Beliefs and Sexual Satisfaction with the Mediating Role of Marital Conflicts15115667959ENZinatPour GholamaliDepartment of Psychology, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Shahid Bahonar University, Kerman, IranAbbasRahmatiBahonar University of KermanS. M. HosseinMousavi NasabBahonar University of Kerman0000-0002-7102-2835Journal Article20170403The goal of the present study was to determine the relationship between relationship beliefs and sexual satisfaction with the mediating role of marital conflicts. The population included all couples from Kerman (a city in south-eastern Iran with a population of about 800000). A sample of 200 (100 men and 100 women) was selected from the considered population through convenience sampling method. The data was collected through Sexual Satisfaction Index (SSI), Relationship Behavior Index (RBI), and Marital Conflicts Questionnaire. To analyze data, structural regression was used as one of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that relationship beliefs can significantly predict marital conflicts. Sexual satisfaction in couples who had negative beliefs was lower. More marital conflicts caused less sexual satisfaction and it played a mediating role between relationship beliefs and sexual satisfaction. It seems that paying attention to the cognitive aspects of the marital conflicts i.e. the relationship beliefs can promote and improve couple’s sexual satisfaction.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67959_706e0c87b8e70fe2c230eda28381f30a.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119410420170101Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Fatigue15716167960ENNedaNazarbolandAssistant Professor, Shahid Beheshti UniversityMaryamTehranizadehAssistant Professor, Payam e Noor University, Tehran, Iran 3Allameh Tabatabai University, Tehran, IranFarzanehMozaffarinejadClinical PsychologistJournal Article20161228Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has a wide range of physiological and neuropsychological symptoms. Over 75% of MS patients complain about fatigue, which for many is one of their most debilitating symptoms, having a substantial impact on their quality of life and ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. Previous investigations on effectiveness of different types of psychotherapy on MS fatigue are so limited, so the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a therapy for MS fatigue.Method: Using convenient sampling, 22 patients with fatigue symptoms (score of ≥5 on Fatigue Scale) were assigned randomly into experimental (n=11) and control (n=11) groups. Subjects in experimental group attended eight 50-minute sessions of weekly CBT based on van Kessel’s model, whereas the patients in control group attended in eight 50-minute weekly sessions of relaxation training. All the subjects completed the fatigue scale at the end of the therapy and 12 weeks follow-up. Results: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) data indicated that the CBT group reported greater reductions in fatigue symptoms, although fatigue scores of both groups were decreased. Fatigue scores of the experimental group were significantly reduced in follow-up assessment.Conclusion: Results indicated that cognitive behavioral therapy appears to be a clinically effective treatment for fatigue in MS and could be implemented as complementary therapy for MS patients in order to promote their quality of life.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67960_ade4ebc2e75e9713c947671a375721ca.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119410420170101Lack of forgiveness as a predisposing factor to depression: Comparison of lack of forgiveness in depressed, vulnerable to depression and non-vulnerable to depression subjects16216667961ENSaraAshkaniMSc in Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Education and Psychology, Ferdowsi University of Mashahd, Mashad, Iran.ZohrehEdalati ShateriDepartment of Clinical Psychology, Center of Excellence in Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology- School of Behavioral Sciences and Mental Health (Institute of Tehran Psychiatry), Iran university of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.BehroozBirashkDepartment of Clinical Psychology, Center of Excellence in Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology- School of Behavioral Sciences and Mental Health (Institute of Tehran Psychiatry), Iran university of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20161115Introduction: Despite growing evidence regarding the relationship between depression and lack of forgiveness, and the belief on the negative effect of depression on the ability to forgive, there are still doubts about the causal relationships between them. Therefore, with respect to lack of forgiveness, this study compared depressed patients with general population that are vulnerable and non-vulnerable to depression. This study was conducted to clarify if lack of forgiveness can be accounted for, as a property which can make people be prone to depression.Methods: In this study, 99 participants completed the Transgression Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory. Among them, 33 were diagnosed with major depressive disorder (23 female and 10 male; mean age = 22.06; ±SD = 2.29 years). Also, 66 of the participants were selected among the general population and half of them were vulnerable to depression (19 female and 14 male; mean age = 23.39; ±SD = 4.87 years) and the other half were not (20 female and 13 male; mean age = 23.42; ±SD = 1.6 years).Results: The results showed a significant difference in the motivation of avoidance and revenge in the three groups (F (4, 190) = 27.8, p < .0005; Wilk's Λ = 0.39, partial η2 = 0.37). Pairwise comparisons indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between the three groups with regards to revenge motivations (p < 0.005); but there was no difference between the depressed and vulnerable subjects.Conclusion: The current study provided reliable evidence that lack of forgiveness may be regarded as a predisposing factor to depression. In this regard, revenge and avoidance motivation can be assumed as anticipating factors to depression, and are also influenced by depressed symptom. https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67961_c6cabc8a38a5260d249e178e14a538e4.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119410420170101Designing Stress Management Model According to Quran and Hadith16717567962ENYousefAazamiPhD Student in Psychology, Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Allameh Tabataba'i University, Tehran, IranEsfandiarAzad MarzabadiPhD, Professor of Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IranJournal Article20170220Background and Purpose: Today, many psychologists have confirmed the healing role of religion and spirituality and its impact on the mental health. Therefore, the present study has been performed to design and develop the religious model of the stress management according to Quran and Hadith. Method: The method of the study, due to ruling framework, is the qualitative method used the conventional content analysis of the verses of Quran and Hadith. In the content analysis method, there has been used the term “the selection of analysis resources” instead of the research population that the analysis resources in this study are included Holy Quran, Mizan al-Hekmah, Usul –alKafi and Thematic Interpretation of Holy Quran by Javadi Amoli. First of all, according to the experts of Quranic sciences, the analysis resources are merely used to extract the statements and their extraction types. Then, there has been determined the key words of the word of “stress” in Arabic in the Islamic resources (including warn, painful, dire, liver, alboads, adversity, fear, sin, sorrow, tax, purchase, regret, sadness, joyless, abject) and hereafter, the information have been coded into sheets by open coding of the analysis units. In the next step, after interviewing and providing the expert panel based on the extracted categories, there has been referred to 20 experts and psychologists who are familiar with religious and psychological resources. They have been asked to give their opinions about the categories of statements and specific items and their prioritization. Then, to achieve the reliability between encodes, after giving the clear definition of the items and training three experts to code the items and categories, the agreement (reliability) level has been evaluated 76% between the codes. Finally, according to the items and categories of the experts, there has been extracted a conceptual mode from them. Findings: According to the analysis of the verses of Quran and Islamic traditions, the stress management strategies are divided into four general methods: cognitive, behavioral, emotional and multiple-way strategies that each of these methods includes more detailed indicators. Among the cognitive methods: belief in the wisdom of Allah and having stability with insight; among behavioral methods or strategies: patience, praying, repentance, forgiveness, reading Quran and being obedient to commands of Allah in Quran; among emotional strategies: fear of Allah, humbleness before Allah, having hope when involvement and among the multi-way methods: stress management and the strategies to trust in Allah, remembrance of Allah, virtue, praying and charity are respectively the best strategies for the stress management. https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67962_9f8109f0c1ba2abe959fac9203fe19be.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119410420170101The Effectiveness of Cognitive, Meta-cognitive, and Behavioral Model on Reducing Anxious Thoughts in Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder17618067963ENAfsanehShahbaziradPh.D student in PsychologyEzatollahGhadampourAssistant ProfessorFiroozehGhazanfariAssistant ProfessorKhodamoradMomeniAssociate ProfessorJournal Article20160406Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of education based on cognitive, meta-cognitive, and behavioral developed model on reduction of meta worries belief in patients with social anxiety disorder(SAD).<br /> Method: The research method was semi-experimental design with pre-posttest design with control group.
