Abstract
The aim of this research was a prediction of university students' aggression based on corona anxiety, cognitive empathy, and affective empathy. In regard to the purpose, this research was applicable and in regard to procedure, it was a correlation study. The study community included all undergraduate students of the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili at 1399-1400 academic year with 18-22 age range that among them 287 students were selected as samples by cluster sampling. Research questionnaires included: Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (1992), Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (2020), and Baron-Cohen Empathy Scale. Data analysis was done by SPSS23 software with Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression methods. The results showed that corona anxiety, predicts aggression significantly and positively (P = 0.01, Beta = 0.57), and cognitive empathy (P= 0/05, Beta= 0/12) and emotional empathy (P= 0/01, Beta= 0/31) predict aggression negatively and meaningfully. A total of 0.59 of the variance of aggression is explained by corona anxiety, cognitive empathy, and emotional empathy. This study indicates the importance of the protecting role of corona anxiety for aggression and cognitive empathy and affective empathy for inhibition of aggression.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of emotion-based marital relationship enrichment training during pregnancy on emotional empathy, perception of fairness, and sexual desires of young couples in Ahvaz City. The method was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the current research was all young couples with pregnant women aged 22 to 31 who were referring to the hospital and private offices of obstetricians and gynecologists in Ahvaz City in the year 2022, that Among them, 30 volunteer-qualified couples were selected in the framework of purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 couples or 30 people in each group). The emotional empathy scale (Mehrabian and Epstein, 1972, EES), Fairness Perception Questionnaire (Perry, 2004, PEM), and Sexuality Questionnaire (Halbert, 1992, HSDQ) were used to collect data. For the experimental group, 8 sessions of 180 minutes of marital relationship enrichment training were implemented as a group, and no intervention was done in the control group. Descriptive statistical methods and univariate and multivariate correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The research results showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there is a significant difference between the two groups in emotional empathy, perception of fairness, and sexual desires in the post-test stage (P<0.05). From the above findings, it can be concluded that emotion-based marital relationship enrichment training during pregnancy effectively improves emotional empathy, perception of fairness, and sexual desires of young couples.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the structural pattern of difficulty in emotional regulation with conduct disorder based on mediating emotional and cognitive empathy in male adolescents. The research method was descriptive-correlation based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all the male students of the first secondary school in Kermanshah city in 2021-2022, 234 students who obtained the highest scores in the pediatric symptoms questionnaire and had the most symptoms of conduct disorder, were selected as a sample group based on the purposive sampling method. the questionnaires were the Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (DERS, Gratz and Roemer, 2004) and the Empathy Benefit Scale (EQ, Baron-Cohen, 2003). For analyzing data we used the Pearson correlation test and analysis of structural. The results of data analysis showed that the model has a good fit and there is a significant correlation & difficulty in regulating emotion and emotional & cognitive empathy have a direct and significant effect on the behavioral disorder(P<0.01). Also, difficulty in regulating emotion through the mediation of emotional and cognitive empathy has an indirect and significant effect on students' behavior disorder (P<0.01). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the development of self-regulation of emotion can make it possible to achieve empathy in a person and act as an effective factor in reducing the symptoms of conduct disorder and increasing prosocial behavior in adolescents.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to predict the overall recovery of children with autism spectrum disorder based on the communication skills and empathy of mothers. The research method was descriptive-correlation with regression design. The statistical population was all the mothers of children who were referred to the rehabilitation clinics of Tehran and their children in the fall of 1401, from which 90 subjects were selected using a targeted sampling method. To collect information, Jarbak's communication skills questionnaire (CKIJT; Queen Dam Institute, 2004), Albiru empathy questionnaire (BES; Albiru et al., 2009), and clinical general statements (CGI; of the National Institute of Mental Health, 1976) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation, and multiple concurrent regression. The results showed that the communication skills and empathy of mothers have a direct and significant relationship with the recovery of children with autism spectrum disorder (p<0.01). Mothers' communication skills and empathy predict 46% of the child's recovery changes. Based on the findings of the research, it was determined that communication skills are a stronger predictor than empathy for the recovery of children. Considering the results of the research, mothers' communication and empathy skills can be used to predict the recovery of children with autism spectrum disorder. Also, it is possible to include the interventions in planning a comprehensive treatment program in rehabilitation institutions and speed up the progress in the recovery of children.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of empathy training on feelings of shame guilt and fear of intimacy in women with insecure attachment. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all married female clients of family care centers (Talia and Irani) related to the welfare of Tehran city in 1401-1402. The sample size of the research included 40 women who were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups (20 people in each group). The research tool included the guilt and shame proneness scale (GASP) of Cohen et al. (2011) and the fear of intimacy (FIS) Descatner and Thelan (1991). The control group did not receive any intervention, but the research experimental group received empathy intervention during 8 sessions of 120 minutes in 8 weeks Multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that with pre-test control, there was a significant difference between the post-test average of feelings of shame and guilt and fear of intimacy in the two experimental and control groups at the level of 0.01. The results showed empathy training is probably an effective treatment for feelings of shame guilt and fear of intimacy in women with insecure attachment.
