Abstract
Organizational creativity is an active factor in the success of organizations that are affected by a variety of factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of knowledge management and emotional intelligence in employee creativity. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed in the statistical society of the General Directorate of Education in Guilan province in 2017 (N = 290). One hundred sixty-five people participated in this study. Participants were selected by simple random sampling. The Abedi Questionnaire (1993), Norozi Knowledge Management Questionnaire (2006) and Shiring Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (1966) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by using SPSS-19 software, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and stepwise regression tests. The results of Pearson correlation showed that the creativity of the employees has a positive and significant relationship with emotional intelligence (r = 0.634) and knowledge management (r = 0.4211) (P <0.01). Also, the results of regression showed that in emotional intelligence (β=0.364, t=10.453, 0.0000) and knowledge management (β=0.223, t=3.552, 0.0000) variables can explain significantly %0.44 of the variance of creativity. The results indicate that emotional intelligence has more predictive power than knowledge management. Accordingly, the training of emotional intelligence and attention to knowledge management in increasing the creativity of staff is recommended.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to predict obsessive-compulsive symptoms based on anxiety sensitivity and social problem solving. This study is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study was all women referring to medical centers of Rasht in 2018 from which 167 patients were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), Anxiety Sensitivity (ASR-R) and Social Problem-Solving Questionnaire (SPSI). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that anxiety sensitivity and social problem solving had a significant relationship with obsessive-compulsive symptoms (P<0.01). Anxiety sensitivity (ß=0.47), positive orientation (ß=-0.25), negative orientation (ß=0.33), avoidance problem solving (ß=0.36), impulsive problem solving (ß=0.69), and logical problem solving (ß=-0.47) significantly predicted obsessive-compulsive symptom (P<0.01). The results indicate that the more anxiety levels decrease and social problem-solving increases, the greater the degree of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients. Therefore, therapists need to pay more attention to the social and anxiety dimensions of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to compare strategies for coping with stress and self-compassion in women with and without rheumatoid arthritis. The method of this study was descriptive and causal-comparative. The statistical population of this study was all women with rheumatoid arthritis in Ardabil city in 2018. 80 women with rheumatoid arthritis and 74 women without rheumatoid arthritis were selected through available sampling. Were. Billings & Mouse (1981) and Self-Compassion (2003) were used to collect data. Research data were also analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance. Findings from the analysis of research data showed that women with rheumatoid arthritis used cognitive and behavioral coping and compassionate behavior less than normal women and more avoidant coping (p<0.001). Given that there are fewer strategies for coping with stress and self-compassion in women with rheumatoid arthritis, these variables can play an important role in preventing the exacerbation and relapse of rheumatoid arthritis pain. Therefore, the specialists and psychologists in this field need to pay more attention to the psychological aspects of the disease.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and antisocial and borderline personality disorder mediated by morbid hostility and negative emotion. This research is a descriptive and path analysis that a statistical sample of 359 people (230 females and 129 males), which was available in the range of 18 to 50 years old in the city of Mashhad was selected. The research instruments included Young's Early maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire (1990), Bagby and Farolden Personality Disorders (2007), and the DSM-5 Personnel Questionnaire based on Garger et al. (2012). The results of the path analysis showed that the model has a good fit. Gamma pathway coefficients (g) including schemas of abandonment, worry, self-punishment, and distrust of the negative emotion variable were significant (P <0.05). Gamma pathway coefficients also include schemas of concern, deficiency, self-sacrifice, superiority, and self-control to the variable of pathological hostility. Finally, beta (β) pathway coefficients of negative emotion to antisocial personality disorder and hostility to antisocial personality became significant. Also, the path coefficient of pathological hostility to pathological personality was significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that early maladaptive schemas, mediated by negative emotion and pathological hostility, are able to predict borderline and antisocial personality disorder.

Abstract
Based on the shortcomings and gaps observed, especially in the research literature of Iran, the main purpose of this study was to use a qualitative approach to deeply understand the lived experience of happy Iranian couples in life. This qualitative research was conducted using a The grounded theory approach. Participants were 41 happy couples living in Zanjan who were purposefully selected based on the results of Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire and family counseling interview. The data collection method was a semi-structured interview. The results of the analysis identified four general themes and thirteen underlying factors for marital happiness experience including appropriate context (families, marriage readiness, financial resources), adaptive beliefs (realistic expectations, belief in understanding and acceptance, commitment and monitoring of commitment), relationship-strengthening behaviors (companionship and joint activity, communication skills, problem-solving, support, responsibility) and positive feelings (excitement, positive feeling, Aesthetics, Kindness). The themes identified in the present study, due to their relationship with theoretical foundations and their high abstraction, in addition to comprehensiveness, have a theoretical structure related to the body of knowledge and existing theories. The extracted components in the present study are explained from the perspective of cognitive-behavioral theory.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare selective attention and cognitive flexibility in two groups with and without sleep quality problems at three times: morning, evening, and night. The study population was male students living in the dormitory of Zanjan University who were studying in this university in 2016. The Pittsburgh (1989) Sleep Quality Questionnaire was distributed by convenience sampling method. Based on the results, individuals were divided into two groups with good sleep quality (n=47) and poor sleep quality (n=44). Stroop test (1935) and Wisconsin (2011), which measure selective attention and cognitive flexibility, respectively; It was performed in six groups at 7-9, 16-18, and 24-22. The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the effect of "sleep quality" on the mean of both inconsistent and neutral mean was significant. In the effect of the "circadian cycle", all three indices of inconsistent mean and inconsistent reaction time and fineness error were significant. In "interactive effect", all indices were significant. The results showed that the cognitive executive of individuals in the two groups with high and low quality sleep at different hours of the day is different. Regardless of the differences in the indicators of each variable, sleep quality had a significant effect on selective attention but not on cognitive flexibility. Significant differences were also found in the interactive effects.

Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of schema therapy and therapy based on improving the quality of life on anxiety in women affected by infidelity. This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of all women affected by the infidelity of their husbands in 2019- 2020 was in Tehran and the statistical sample was 45 people who were selected by purposeful sampling and were tested and appointed as witnesses in three groups of 15 people. A schematic therapy group was intervened during 8 90-minute sessions and a quality-of-life-based therapy group during 10 90-minute sessions. The data were collected with the Wells Anxiety Thoughts Questionnaire (AnTI) (1994) and analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance. The difference of the means showed that there is no significant difference between the two interventions in the post-test (p<0.05); Also, a statistically significant difference was reported between the two interventions and the control group (P<0.01). These two interventions did not have a significant difference in terms of effectiveness on this variable in women affected by infidelity; These results can be seen in the follow-up of both interventions. It can be concluded that schema therapy and therapy based on improving the quality of life are effective on over-anxiety in women affected by infidelity, but there is no difference between the two therapies.

Abstract
The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of schema-based couple therapy and emotion-focused couple therapy on spouse acceptance in couples with marital disputes in Ilam. The present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a tree -month follow -up. The statistical population comprised 105 couples who were referred to counseling centers during the second half of 2021. Of all the couples, 30 were chosen through the convenient sampling method. The participants were then randomly split into three groups: emotion-focused therapy (n=10), schema-focused therapy (n=10), and controls (n=10). Participants acquiring emotion-focused therapy were furnished with Johnson's training package (Johnson, 2012) for nine sessions. During the same period, those receiving schema-focused therapy were given a package presented by Young et al (2003). The controls received no intervention. The study tool was Rohner and Khaleque’s Intimate Partner Acceptance, Rejection, and Control Questionnaire (2005, IARQ). Data were analyzed by the Repeated Measures ANOVA. The findings indicated a significant difference in the "partner acceptance" variable between the schema-based/emotion-focused groups and the control group in the post-test and follow-up phases (P<0. 05). Also, no significant difference was observed between the degree to which that schema-based couple therapy (SBCT) and emotion-focused couple therapy (EFCT) affect partner acceptance (P>0. 05). Therefore, it can be concluded that SBCT and EFCT can serve as two methods affecting the level of partner acceptance among spouses with marital conflict.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between positive and negative perfectionism with distress tolerance in students of the university. The research method was correlational based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population (4303 people) consisted of all the students of the psychology and educational sciences faculties of Tehran, Al-Zahra, and Allameh universities in the academic year 2022-2023. 321 individuals were selected through convenience sampling and online. The research participants answered the Simons & Gaher Distress Tolerance Scale (2005), Terry-Short Positive and Negative Perfectionism Questionnaires (1995), and Luthans Psychological Capital Questionnaires (2007). The data were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation and structural equation modeling. The finding indicated negative perfectionism had a direct and significant effect on distress tolerance and psychological capital (p < 0.001). Also, positive perfectionism had a direct and significant effect on psychological capital (p < 0.001). positive perfectionism did not have a direct and significant effect on distress tolerance (p > 0.05). Further psychological capital had a direct and significant effect on distress tolerance (p < 0.05). According to the findings, psychological capital plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative and positive psychological capital with distress tolerance (p < 0.001). So psychological capital can affect the relationship between positive and negative perfectionism distress tolerance.
