  Introduction: The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of problem-solving skills training with self-talk training on mental health and rejection sensitivity in individuals dependent on substance abuse. Method: The current study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments, using a control group. Among all 470 individuals seeking treatment for opioid use disorder at Nasim Rahaii Treatment Center in 2022, 60 participants were conveniently selected and randomly assigned to three groups of 20 individuals. The research instruments included the standard Mental Health Questionnaire (Keyes, 2002) and the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (Feldman, 1996). The first experimental group received 8 sessions of problem-solving skills training, the second experimental group received 10 sessions of self-talk training, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The findings indicated that both training methods had a significant effect on reducing rejection sensitivity and improving mental health in individuals with opioid use disorder. Additionally, the follow-up analysis using Bonferroni test showed that problem-solving skills training was more effective than self-talk training in reducing rejection sensitivity. However, no significant difference was observed between the two methods in terms of their impact on mental health. Conclusion: Consequently, addiction specialists and therapists can incorporate these training approaches alongside pharmacotherapy and other conventional methods to enhance psychological functioning and prevent relapse in individuals with substance dependence.

  Purpose:  The present study aimed to predict latent marital aggression based on Machiavellianism, anti-socialism and narcissism with the mediating role of shame and rejection sensitivity in a group of Iranian women.Method: 307 married women of Tehran city were selected by voluntary sampling method and were answered to the Couples Relational Aggression and Victimization Scale (Nelson & Carroll, 2006), the Short Version of Dark Triad Personality Traits (Paulhus & Jones, 2014), The Test of Self-Conscious Affect (Tangney, 1996) and Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (Downey & Feldman, 1996) through an online survey. The research method was correlational, structural equation modeling type and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 24 software.Findings: The findings of Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between Machiavellianism with rejection sensitivity, shame with the dimensions of latent marital aggression including love withdrawal and social sabotage, but there is no significant relationship between narcissistic personality and rejection sensitivity, shame, love withdrawal and social sabotage. Anti-socialism had a positive and significant relationship with rejection sensitivity, shame and social sabotage; but it was not related to love withdrawal. Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between rejection sensitivity and shame with love withdrawal and social sabotage. The findings of structural equation modeling showed that Machiavellianism, anti-socialism, rejection sensitivity and shame positively predict love withdrawal and social sabotage. Narcissism has no direct or indirect effect on love withdrawal and social sabotage. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the mediating role of rejection sensitivity and shame in the relationship between Machiavellianism and anti-socialism with love withdrawal and social sabotage among women. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that women's rejection sensitivity and shame in relation to dark triad personality traits of Machiavellian and antisocial personality are related to latent marital aggression.  Manuscript profile

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of group training based on rational, emotive, behavioral theory on reducing anger and rejection sensitivity in working women. This study was a pseudo-experimental pretest-posttest design with control group and one month follow-up period. The statistical population of this research included working women in Tehran whom 30 were selected as available. The instruments of research included Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (Downy & Feld- man, 1996) and Novaco Anger Inventory - short form (Novaco, 1975). The statistical methods used for data analysis were analysis of covariance and analysis of variance with repeated measures. Results showed that group training based on rational, emotive, behavioral theory has significantly reduced the anger and rejection sensitivity in the experimental group and this effect has remained steady in the follow-up phase. According to the research results, it could be an appropriate intervention for working women with anger and high rejection sensitivity problems. Manuscript profile
