Examination of model fit indices indicates that the model has a good fit with the data. That life expectancy and cognitive functions have had an indirect effect on physical health, so the existence of an indirect relationship between research variables is confirmed with 95% confidence (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the model of personality traits fits on physical health through the mediation of life expectancy and cognitive functions in older women.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Family Executive Performance Scale among married people over 18 years of age in Isfahan. Therefore, the research was of contextualization and instrumentation. Method: This research was a survey and instrument making. The statistical population of this study consisted of all married men and women over 18 years of age in Isfahan. The statistical sample consisted of 400 men and women who were selected by convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Executive Performance Scale (GIOA, Squid, Guy and Converdie, 2000) and the Spouse Emotional Experience Questionnaire (Ghafarollahi, Yousefi, 1399). Data were analyzed in two parts: descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson correlation, Cronbach's alpha and exploratory factor analysis). Results: The results showed that internal consistency (α = 0.75), retest reliability (r = 0.450 and P <0.01) and coordination of questions were appropriate. The frequency distribution for the whole scale and its dimensions was close to the normal distribution. Since a higher score in family executive performance indicates poorer executive performance, the evidence of divergent validity with a scale of negative emotional experience (r = 0.576 and P <0.01) showed a positive and significant relationship with the spouse and the results Convergent validity showed a negative relationship between the total score of this scale and the positive emotional experience scale towards the spouse (r = -0.276 and P <0.01) and family performance (r = -0.711 and P <0.01). And there is a significant negative relationship between executive performance and family executive performance (r = -0.671 and P <0.01), which confirms concurrent validity. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that this scale consists of eight factors, which are: family organization, family planning, family pursuit and perseverance, family emotional control, family working memory, family inhibition, family supervision and family initiation. Also, the correlation of each factor with the total score was significant, which all confirm the validity of the structure of this scale. Conclusion: According to these findings, it can be concluded that the executive performance scale has desirable psychometric properties and can be used in the field of education, research and counseling.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the fit of structural equations of emotional breakdown based on identity confusion mediated by defense mechanisms. Methods: The research method was descriptive and the correlation research design was structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study included the statistical population of this study including all adolescent female students with emotional failure in the 2019-20 academic year of Nurabad city. The sample of this study included 250 people who were selected using purposive sampling method. Data were collected using the Love Trauma Syndrome Questionnaire (Ross, 1999), the Personality Organization Questionnaire (Kernberg, 2002) and the Defense Mechanisms Questionnaire (Andrews et al., 1993). Research data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, structural equation model and SPSS software version 22 and AMOS version 22. Significance level in this study was considered 0.05. Results: The results showed that confusion had an indirect effect on emotional failure, so the existence of an indirect relationship between research variables is confirmed with 95% confidence (P <0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that personality organization has a mediating role in the relationship between defense mechanisms and emotional failure.

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of emotional rational behavior therapy on body image, body mass index and reduce social anxiety in overweight adolescents. Methods: The present research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of adolescent girls and boys who had referred to clinics in Tehran in 2019 with the problem of overweight and obesity, from which 40 people were selected as a sample by available sampling method. After selecting individuals, they were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (20 people in each group). The experimental group intervention was group therapy based on emotional rational behavioral therapy (Ellis and Dryden, 1997) and consisted of eight sessions lasting 120 minutes. Data were analyzed using Littleton et al.'s (2005) Body Image Concern Questionnaire, Connor et al.'s (2000) Social Anxiety Inventory, and repeated measures analysis of variance using SPSS.22 software. Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance and SPSS.22 software. Significance level in this study was considered 0.05. Results: The results showed that rational-emotional behavior therapy in body image (F=25.29, P<0.001), body mass index (F=3.59, P=0.036), and reduction of anxiety Social (F=5.49, P=0.026) Adolescents were effective overweight (P<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be said that rational-emotional behavior therapy can have positive effects on body image, body mass index and reduce adolescent social anxiety.
