Purpose:The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of indigenous education package training on the quality of parent-child relationships and parenting self-efficacy of mothers with adolescent boys. Methodology: The research method was quasi-experimental, pre-test-post-test and two-month follow-up with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the study was mothers with adolescent boys aged 12 to 18 years in Isfahan in 2019, of which 87 mothers with lower parent-child relationships and parenting self-efficacy through Pianta (1994) parent-child relationship questionnaire, Parental self-efficacy Dumka, Strezinger, Jackson, and Rosa (1996) were screened for self-efficacy. Finally, 40 mothers were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental group (20 mothers) and the control group (20 mothers). Participants in both groups completed parent-child relationship questionnaires and parental self-efficacy in three stages. The experimental group received a native 90-minute training package (researcher-made) for 8 sessions. Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS software version 24. Findings: The results indicate the effect of the Indigenous Educational Counseling package on the score of the parent-child relationship (P = 0.003) with the effect size of 0.21, positive parenting self-efficacy (P = 0.024) with the effect size of 0.12, negative parenting self-efficacy (P = 0.033) with an effect size of 0.11 in the post-test stage and the stability of this effect was in the follow-up stage. Conclusions: The results of the study suggest evidence that training this program to prevent and improve the relationship of each parent with their adolescent sons reduces negative parenting self-efficacy and improves the parent-child relationship so that we see less conflict between parents and adolescent boys in society; This research can be useful for psychotherapists and counselors in the field of adolescent counseling and choosing the type of intervention to educate parents.   Manuscript profile

The context of the research in qualitative stage was the texts related to borderline individuals’ injuries, sample size was the 25 reference texts that were selected in a purposeful manner. At this stage, after extracting the spectrum of injuries with the use of specialized panel group, the required treatments for the spectrum of injuries were determined and an integrated treatment package with an agreement coefficient of 0.94 was designed. In the quantitative stage a semi-experimental design with two groups and three stages (pre-test, post-test and follow up) was used. In the quantitative stage, from 70 persons with borderline personality characteristics, 30 persons were selected based on criteria of entry and then randomly assigned in an experimental and a control group (each group with 15 person). The group of integrated oriented therapy received 15 sessions of treatment and the control group did not receive any treatment. Emotional instability scale was used to measure the dependent variable in the pretest, post-test and follow up. Data in qualitative stage were analyzed by thematic analysis and in quantitative stage were analyzed by Chi square test, repeated measure analysis of variance and post hoc Bonferroni test trough SPSS 24 software. Findings: The findings of the qualitative stage for designing integrative therapy package indicated five categories of injuries including emotional and behavioral vulnerability, perceptual and cognitive vulnerability, identity vulnerability, social vulnerability and physical vulnerability for individuals with borderline personality characteristics. In the quantitative stage, the results showed that there isn’t a significant difference between the integrated oriented therapy and control groups in emotional instability in post-test (P=0.205).

Today, the use of Islamic sources in the human sciences, especially psychology, is considered one of the necessities. The plan to introduce Islamic ideas into the realm of psychology, in order to achieve Islamic models in the field of prevention, recognition and resolution of psychological problems, is one of the most important issues in this field. Which has been the main source of psychology in universities and research centers in European and American countries. The common attitude towards humans in today's western psychiatry and psychology emphasizes the biological-psychological-social aspects of humans and does not pay attention to the spiritual aspects of humans, while Islamic sources are full of psychological thoughts and emphasis on the spiritual aspects of humans since This science, like other human sciences, is influenced by cultural and religious factors, its crude use may be incompatible with the cultural structure of Islamic society in Iran. While respecting the scientific findings, it is necessary to consider the suitability and compatibility of the findings of psychological science with belief and religious foundations. Since Islam is the last and the most complete, the most comprehensive and the most extensive religion in the world and has clear and constructive recommendations for all stages of human life, it is necessary that the main source of psychology in the Islamic country is based on Islamic ideas and principles.  Manuscript profile

Introduction: The present study sought to measure the effectiveness of stress management training on job satisfaction and emotional intelligence of the employees of the stock exchange brokerage firm.   Method: For this purpose, 25 employees of a brokerage firm were selected as the sample of the research and assessed by occupational stress, using Spielberger Job Stress Questionnaire, job satisfaction, using the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Emotional Intelligence, using Bar-it questionnaire. After a stress management training period, again, the variables mentioned were measured. Collected data was converted to Excel by Excel software and analyzed by SPSS software.   Results: The results of the normalization of data with Shapiro-Wilk test showed that two variables of occupational stress and job satisfaction have normal distribution function, but the emotional intelligence variable does not have normal distribution. Finally, for testing the statistical assumptions about the first two variables, t test was used for the paired sample and for the third variable, Wilcoxon test was used. The results of the hypothesis test confirmed the effectiveness of stress management training on reducing job stress and increasing job satisfaction, but the effectiveness of this training on the emotional intelligence of the staff was not confirmed. The effect of the age moderator variable was obtained using the hypothesis test in two samples below and above 30 years. The effectiveness of Stress Management Training on job satisfaction and emotional intelligence was confirmed in a sample below 30 years of age and rejected in a sample over 30 years of age. In both samples, the effectiveness of stress management training was confirmed on the reduction of occupational stress level.   Conclusion: Stress management training has been effective on job satisfaction and emotional intelligence of the employees of stock exchange brokerage firm.   Manuscript profile
