Method: The research was carried out in the framework of a semi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all adolescent girls from the divorce family in Ghaemshahr welfare in 2018, from whom 40 people were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Yang's (1988) early maladaptive schemas questionnaire was used to collect data. the subjects were measured according to the research designs in two stages before and after the group training. The program was performed for eight sessions of 90-minute group training for the experimental group, but the control group did not receive any training. Univariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results: The findings indicated that the cognitive therapy group focused on the schema that affects rejection/rejection, impaired self-management and performance, impaired limitations, and other orientations in adolescent girls in divorced families in Ghaem city. Conclusion: The result of the study confirms the effectiveness of schema therapy in correcting maladaptive schemas and can help adolescent girls in the divorce family to adjust the schemas and can be used as a helpful model in psychological counseling for girls living on welfare.

Abstract:The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of online intimacy and deception scale in students. The statistical population of this research consisted of all the students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University who were studying in the academic year of 2023-2024. The research sample consisted of 331 people (41 boys and 290 girls) who were selected by available methods. Stanton et al.'s (2016) online intimacy and deception scale was used to collect data. To check the validity of the scale, the internal consistency method was used, and to check the validity of the scale, the correlation of the subscales of the questionnaire and confirmatory factor analysis were used. The results showed that the alpha coefficient for online intimacy factor was 0.71 and for online deception was 0.75. The results of fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis showed that this scale has a good fit (CFI=0.93, NFI=0.90 and RMSEA=0.073). As a result, it can be said that this scale is a suitable tool for measuring sincere and deceptive behavior in cyberspace.

Subjects were first screened using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. therefore, 40 university students with body dysmorphic disorder were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (20 persons in each group). All of the sample groups completed anxiety sensitivity (Floyd et al, 2005) and Cognitive Fusion Scales (Gillanders et al, 2010). The ACT group in 8 sessions based on Hayes et al (1999) model while the control group did not receive any treatment. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of covariance was used. Results showed that there were significant differences between two groups on anxiety sensitivity and cognitive fusion (P <0.01). ACT as a third wave treatment, can be an effective intervention to reduce the anxiety sensitivity and cognitive fusion in university students with body dysmorphic disorder.
