Each member of the intervention group underwent five 30-to-45-minute sessions of motivational self-efficacy-based interviews based on self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using a variance of repeated measures. Results: The findings showed that self-efficacy-based motivational interview significantly reduced medication adherence (F=23.73, Sig=0.000) of patients with type 2 diabetes, and this effect was in the stable follow-up phase. Conclusion: The motivational self-efficacy-based interview intervention in five sessions positively affected medication adherence in type 2 diabetes patients. Therefore, it is suggested that this intervention be done in more time and sessions.

Aim: This study aimed to model the relationship between Cognitive Flexibility and Self-Differentiation with Successful Marriage by considering the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation. Methods: This study was a descriptive correlational study of structural equations. The statistical population of the study was married men and women in Tehran. Using the available sampling method, 635 people from the statistical population of the study in the period of summer (1398) to summer (1399) were selected. To collect the data for this study, Hudson Successful Marriage Index Questionnaire(1992), Garnefski, Critch, and Spinhaven Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(2001), Skowron and Friedlander Self-Differentiation Questionnaire(2003) were used. Results: The results showed that the predictor variables of cognitive flexibility with a correlation coefficient of 0.45 and self-differentiation with a correlation coefficient of 0.26 are related to the criterion of successful marriage at a 99% confidence level (P<0. 01). Cognitive emotion regulation also plays a minor mediating role in the relationship between cognitive flexibility and self-differentiation with a 95% confidence level. Conclusion: Therefore, in premarital counseling and enriching couples' relationships, the role of training cognitive emotion regulation skills as well as cognitive flexibility and self-differentiation is very important and requires more attention from counselors and stakeholders.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of latent communication aggression in the relationship between intolerance of indecision and extramarital relationships. Method: This is a descriptive study of correlational research. The statistical population of the study consisted of couples who referred to counseling centers in Alborz province in 1398 for marital counseling. The research sample was selected by available sampling. The required sample size in this study was 260 people based on Cochran's method and 254 samples (including 127 males and 127 females) were selected taking into account the sample loss. Research instruments included the Whitley (2008) Attitudes Toward Extramarital Relationships Scale, the Freeston et al. (1994) Uncertainty Intolerance Scale (1994), and the Nelson & Carroll (2006) Hidden Communication Aggression Scale. In this research, path analysis method was used to analyze the data by observing the relevant assumptions. Results: The results of data analysis showed that the model fit indices were in good condition. Intolerance of uncertainty directly and indirectly (considering the mediating role of latent communication aggression) affects extramarital relationships (p <0.05). Hidden aggression also directly affects extramarital affairs (p <0.05). Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be said that correcting intolerance of uncertainty and latent aggression as preconditions of extramarital relationships, improves the quality of marital life of couples, and has a significant effect on preventing extramarital affairs.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the fit of the prediction model of marital burnout based on differentiation, emotional intelligence and mental health mediated by resilience in couples. Method: The research method was correlational, structural equation modeling type. The statistical population included all couples referring to family counseling centers in District 1 of Tehran in the second half of July to the end of September 2021, in which 248 couples (124 males and 124 females) were selected by non-random sampling method. They were evaluated using the Marital Burnout Scale (Pines, 1996), Emotional Intelligence (Shut et al., 1998), Resilience (Connor & Davidson, 2003), and Differentiation of Self Questionnaire (Skowron and Dandy, 2003) and General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg & Hiller, 1972) were evaluated. Results: obtained from the evaluation of the proposed model by structural equation using SPSS23 and Smart PLS3 software showed that the model fit indices have a desirable level. There is a significant relationship between differentiation (P< 0.05) and mental health (P<0.01) and marital burnout, but there is no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and marital burnout. Resilience also does not mediate the relationship between differentiation, emotional intelligence and mental health and marital burnout. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be said that differentiation and mental health play an important role in marital burnout of couples, so paying attention to these variables will help researchers and therapists in the field of couple and family in prevention and designing appropriate therapies.
