“…In a twotiered system a belief in a particular cosmological framework is the foundation for understanding life and giving meaning to one's everyday experiences, whereas in a one-tiered system the process of meaning giving is a personal, cognitive one (Christopher & Hickinbottom, 2008). Because of the inclusion of spiritual themes, PPIs can easily be adapted to different cultural settings, as demonstrated by Islamic based PPIs that were conducted in Iran (Al-Seheel & Moor, 2016;Rouholamini et al, 2016;Saeedi, Nasab, Zadeh, & Ebrahimi, 2015).…”

The past two decades have witnessed a rapid rise in well-being research, and a profusion of empirical studies on positive psychology interventions (PPIs). This bibliometric analysis quantifies the extent to which rigorous research on PPIs that employ randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reaches beyond Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic (WEIRD) populations. A search was conducted through databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus for studies from 1998 to 2017. In total, we found 187 full-text articles that included 188 RCTs from 24 countries. We found that RCTs on the efficacy of PPIs are still predominately conducted in western countries, which accounted for 78.2% of the studies. All these countries are highly industrialized and democratic, and study populations are often highly educated and have a high income. However, there has been a strong and steady increase in publications from non-Western countries since 2012, indicating a trend towards globalization of positive psychology research.

“…Also, prevalent religious practices can be integrated into PPIs, for example, by incorporating tales from the various Holy Scriptures and prayer or meditation exercises into the program modules. An example of such an approach is described in a study by Saeedi, Nasab, Zadeh, and Ebrahimi (2015) who conducted a PPI with an Islamic approach that included Islamic comments on the program. We suggest that when integrating religious elements into a program, this should be done in combination with making participants aware of active strengths such as perseverance, leadership and teamwork.…”

“…In a dialogue-based education, the teacher is only an active participant and there is no hierarchy between the teacher and the students. The dialectical learning process is based on a free relationship, and participants are well listening to each other, no one imposes their own views on others, and contributors refrain from prejudging Each other (Soodmand, 2014;Saeedi, Mousavi Nasab, Mehdi ZadehZareAnari, Ebrahimi, GorganiNezhad, & Divsalar, 2015;Luo et al, 2018).…”

Purpose of Study: The main purpose of this research was to describe the effect of dialogue in the process of learning Business English. This was experimental research. two experimental and control groups were identified and a pre-test was conducted on their level of proficiency in English. Then, for the control group, English was taught in a normal way and presented for the English language test group using a dialogue. After the end of the course, their English proficiency was examined. The results showed that English language proficiency in teaching through dialogue has been much greater than normal and the difference between the two methods was significant and the English language method was more effective than the dialectic method. Methodology: This was experimental research. At first, two experimental and control groups were identified and a pre-test was conducted on their level of proficiency in English. Then, for the control group, English was taught in a normal way and presented for the English language test group using a dialogue. After the end of the course, their English proficiency was examined to determine if English language education would affect English language learning through dialogue. To investigate these results, covariance analysis method was used. Results: Results showed that English language proficiency in teaching through dialogue has been much greater than normal. To determine if this difference was statistically significant, the covariance analysis test was performed and the results showed that the difference between the two methods was significant and the English language method was more effective than the dialectic method. Implications/Applications: The results of this study can help to teach English both in private institutions and in schools but in order for the teacher to build on the English language learning process based on the dialogue, the teacher should create an environment in which all students can be expressed, and no student is ashamed of the level of ability and fluency in English.
