The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of teaching skills based on compassion on positive emotions and hostile documents of women affected by extramarital relationships. This research was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test, post-test, and control group design with a two-month follow-up phase. The statistical population included all women affected by extramarital relationships who had been referred to psychological clinics (under the welfare organization) in Tehran in order to use psychological services in 2021-2022. The statistical sample included 30 of these women who were selected purposefully. Then, 15 people were randomly placed in the control group and 15 people in the experimental group. The intervention group received compassion-based skills training during 8 sessions of 90 minutes once a week. Data were collected using Williams et al.'s Emotion Control Scale (ACQ) (1997) and Arntz et al.'s Hostile Documents (HDQ) (2003) and analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measures. The results showed that the main effect of the group was significant for positive affect (F=94.2, P<0.05, P<0.05) and for hostile documents (F=12.9, P<0.05, 315/315). In the variable of positive affect, the main effect of the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up (F=13.5, P>0.05, 327) and in the variable of hostile documents (F=6.37, P>0.05, 185/ =) reported significant. who reported 89% of positive affect and hostile attributions. It can be concluded that teaching skills based on compassion are effective in improving positive emotions and reducing hostile documents. And this intervention was able to increase positive affect and reduce hostile documents to a large extent and therefore can be useful in the treatment of psychological injuries caused by extramarital relationships.
