● Several factors may disrupt the relationship between couples. These factors are the fear of intimacy and lack of forgiveness.
●The absence of intimacy is significantly associated with depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, and low communication satisfaction in couples. 
● This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two couple therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and schema therapy on forgiveness and fear of intimacy in conflicting couples.
● The results indicated that both ACT and schema couple therapy are effective in reducing fear of intimacy and increasing the forgiveness ability in couples’ conflicts. However, Schema couple therapy is more effective than ACT in controlling negative emotions and treating them in couples.

Both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and schema therapy programs help couples to improve their relationship by recognizing their psychological and behavioral problems and reducing the problems and worries of themselves, such as fear of intimacy. These interventions increase the ability to forgive each other. In this research, the authors revealed that the effect of two couple therapies helps couples to reduce their conflicts. 

● Female victims of intimate partner violence suffering from PTSD show higher levels of affective temperament compared to the female victims of intimate partner violence without PTSD;
● Female victims of intimate partner violence suffering from PTSD show higher levels of emotional temperament compared to the female victims of intimate partner violence without PTSD;
● Emotional and affective temperament can increase the risk of developing PTSD following exposure to intimate partner violence.
Plain Language Summary 
In this study, we investigated the temperamental features- which is one of the factors that affect how people react to trauma- in female victims of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) with and without Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Given the high prevalence of IPV in Iran and its significant role in developing psychiatric disorders in women, which is observed as psychological abuse, physical violence, sexual coercion, controlling behaviors, and stalking, investigating on the psychological aspects of this issue is important. In this regard, we assessed the affective and emotional temperament on 195 trauma-exposed women with and without PTSD following IPV using an integrative temperament model named the Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament Scale (AFECTS). Our findings showed a significantly higher level of affective temperament including cyclothymic, depressive, anxious, apathetic, Volatile, Dysphoric, obsessive, euthymic, disinhibited, and euphoric in subjects with PTSD, relative to the non-PTSD subjects. The emotional temperament including anger and sensitivity was also higher in subjects with PTSD, when compared to the non-PTSD ones. Our findings represent the significant role of affective and emotional temperament in developing PTSD following exposure to intimate partner violence, and highlight the importance of considering affective and emotional temperament for psychotherapists while determining treatment plan for patients with PTSD.

● Reward sensitivity can lead to social interaction anxiety.
● Punishment sensitivity can lead to social interaction anxiety.
● Reward sensitivity can lead to generalized anxiety disorder.

● Care-seeking and care-avoidant subjects are not perfectionists equally. 
● Accordingly, care-avoiding subjects are more perfectionist in concern over mistakes, need for approval, and organization.
● Care-seeking and care-avoidant subjects do not tolerate ambiguity equally.
● Accordingly, care-avoidant subjects have a higher tolerance of ambiguity than care-avoidant subjects.
Plain Language Summary 
Many people suffer from Illness Anxiety Disorder (IAD). They have excessive fears of having or acquiring severe disease (s). They fall into one of the two subtypes of the disorder: care-seeking or care-avoidant. These subtypes may differ in some essential psychological variables. Identifying such variables can help researchers determine the cause of some behaviors, such as care-seeking or care-avoiding. Hence, in this study, two essential psychological variables, i.e., perfectionism and tolerance of ambiguity, were compared between the two subtypes of the disorder. As expected, the two sub-types had significant differences in terms of perfectionism and tolerance of ambiguity.

● In the relationship between Oobsessive-Compulsive Symptoms (OCS) and schizotypy, attention should be paid to the multi-dimensional nature of schizotypy.
● Inferential Confusion (IC) mediates the relationship between OCS and positive schizotypy.
● Only the direct effect of positive schizotypy on OCS and IC was statistically significant.
Plain Language Summary 
Despite the numerous pieces of evidence for the relationship between Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms (OCS) and schizotypal personality traits, there is no coherent conceptualization about the nature of the relationship between these two variables. Research has confirmed the comorbidity and structural similarity between these two groups of symptoms. This, in turn, provides some basic implications for the treatment of patients with symptoms of both disorders. In addition, research evidence suggests that schizotypy has a multi-dimensional structure and it is recommended to pay attention to its various dimensions in relation to OCS. Based on the Inference-Based Approach (IBA), Inferential Confusion (IC), as an imaginative process, plays a significant role in explaining the relationship between OCS and schizotypy. The findings of this study showed that only the direct and indirect (through IC) effects of the positive schizotypy on OCS were statistically significant and provided evidence to support the role of IC in the relationship between these two disorders.

● There is a significant relationship between Self-criticism and self-harming behaviors. Self-criticism is the strongest predictor of self-harming behaviors.
● Childhood trauma predicts self-harming behaviors and is correlated significantly with self-harming behaviors.
● There is a significant relationship between emotion dysregulation and self-harming behaviors. Furthermore, emotion dysregulation predicts self-harming behaviors. 
Plain Language Summary 
Adolescence is one of the most important stages of human life. Self-harm and related behaviors, such as suicide during adolescence, are a current concern for psychologists. Because of the unpleasant consequences of self-harming behaviors, psychologists seek to find reasons that make adolescents harm themselves. Our findings show that adolescents who cannot control their emotions in stressful situations are more likely to do self-harm behaviors. In addition, emotionally and sexually abused adolescents, and those who constantly blame themselves, are also at risk of self-harm.

● COVID-19 has imposed many psychological problems in adolescent group;
● Many adolescents perceive high stress related to COVID-19 sequeal;
● Some adolescents who perceive higher stress respond with emotional eating; 
● Emotional eating related to COVID-19 perceived stress is higher in those lacking adaptive emotion regulation strategies.
Plain Language Summary 
The emergence of COVID-19 created a lot of stress on teens. There are differences between adolescents in the extent to which they perceive stress. Some experience more intense stress, while others experience less stress. Unfortunately, some teens resort to eating to relieve their emotional pain, such as stress, but this eating is more common among those teens who have difficulty adjusting their emotions. That's why the issue of the ability to adjust emotion adaptively has become important topic in the COVID-19 era.
