Introduction: Family is the first and smallest institution in which people experience relationships with others, start relationships with other family members and learn how to communicate with other members of the community.Aim: This study aims to investigate the relationship between object relations and early maladaptive schemas with dominance and moral relationships among the couples in Sanandaj. Method:The current study is a descriptive-correlational one. The statistical population of this study includes all couples in Sanandaj in 2019, out of whom 150 people were selected through accessibility sampling. The participants filled in the Bell Object Relations Questionnaire (1995), Young Schema Questionnaire (2005), Huskins Dominance Adaptation Scale (1986) and Kohlberg's morality scale (1981). The collected data was analyzed using SPSS Software (version. 23). Results:The results indicated that the sub-scales of early maladaptive schemas (i.e. abandonment, social isolation, susceptibility, difficulty, emotional restraint, stubborn criteria) and subscales of object relations (i.e. incompetence, attachment and egocentrism ( were and positively associated with dominance (P<0.05, T=11.862). In addition, the subscales of object relations (estrangement) and subscales of early maladaptive schemas (lack of trust, difficulty and obedience) were positively associated with moral relations (P<0.05, T=4.63). Conclusion:According to the results point to a positive association between object relations and early maladaptive schemas with dominance and moral relations among couples. Therefore, it can be said that object relations and early maladaptive schemas can predict dominance and moral relations among couples.
INTRUDUNCTION:Relief workers are among the groups that are present in the site from the very first moments of an accident or disaster and perform relief tasks. Various studies have shown that relief is one of the stressful activities due to a set of factors during a crisis. The present study was conducted with the aim to determine the effectiveness of the cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) on happiness and quality of life (QOL) among the relief workers of the Red Crescent Society in Shemiranat, Iran. METHODS: In this quasi-experimental study with the pre-test and post-test design with a control group, out of all relief workers of the Red Crescent Society in Shemiranat City, 30 individuals were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into two equal experimental and control groups. Then, the subjects in the experimental group were placed under the effect of the independent variable (CBSM) during 20 hours (two 10-hour workshop sessions). The instruments used in the study included the Oxford Happiness and Quality of Life Questionnaires that were implemented in both groups in the pre-test and post-test stages. Finally, the data collected were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). FINDINGS: There was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores in the two experimental and control groups in the variables of happiness and QOL. CONCLUSION: CBSM training increased happiness and QOL among the relief workers of the Red Crescent Society.
Reflective functioning is the process of reflecting on the thoughts and feelings of oneself and others and is foundational to healthy human relationships. The 54-item Reflective Function Questionnaire (RFQ) is a self-report measure that assesses reflective functioning, initially developed while studying individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) . The purpose of the present study was to translate the RFQ from English to Persian and evaluate its reliability and validity among Iranian prisoners. The sample of this study included 509 (455 men and 54 women) Iranian prisoners. Findings confirm the translated measure had acceptable face and content validity. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed two dimensions of certainty (RFQ-c) and uncertainty (RFQ-u) of reflective functioning. The correlation analysis showed positive relationships between the dimensions of the RFQ and the borderline personality symptoms questionnaire and the emotional dissatisfaction questionnaire. Correlation analysis also showed negative associations between the dimensions of the RFQ and the Toronto Basic Empathy Scale (BES) and the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) questionnaire, confirming the concurrent validity of the RFQ. The Cronbach’s alphas of the RFQ-c and RFQ-u subscales were .69 and .7 respectively, which demonstrated relatively acceptable internal consistency. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the translated RFQ had desirable psychometric properties for evaluating reflective function among Iranian prisoners.
