Aim: Marital infidelity is one of the important factors that threaten the marital bond between couples. Understanding the factors preventing marital infidelity is of great value in maintaining the stability and quality of marriage. The present study was conducted with the aim of explaining the effective individual, interpersonal and social indicators to reduce marital infidelity in virtual space with a qualitative approach and phenomenological method. Method: The statistical population of the research included One of the wives with a history of marital infidelity in cyberspace, referred from the family court of Urmia city in 2022, and for this purpose, a sample of 18 participants (13 women and 5 men) were selected using a non-probability and purposeful method. The tool of the current research was a semi-structured interview. The data were coded and analyzed using Brown and Clark thematic analysis . Results : the results of this research showed that there are a total of 14 sub-themes in line with the three main concepts including: individual factors with 7 sub-themes including (differentiation, avoiding extremes and excesses in common life, thinking about the consequences of uncontrolled communication, crisis management, strengthening individual competencies, having physical and mental health, and adhering to family, moral and spiritual values), Interpersonal factors with 3 sub-themes including (the ability to establish effective verbal and non-verbal communication, presence of determination in life, and dimming of interpersonal differences) and social factors with 4 sub-themes including (nature of job and economic situation, rule of strict laws, promotion of healthy lifestyle, and existence of happy and healthy programs) are effective as deterrents from extramarital relationships in the final model. Conclusion: It can be concluded that it is necessary to examine the factors that threaten the peace and stability of the family as the cornerstone of society. In the current research, it was found that a total of 14 sub-themes (including 7 sub-themes related to the individual factor, 3 sub-themes related to the interpersonal factor and 4 sub-themes related to the social factor) protect people from extramarital relationships. The results of this research can be used to help formulate preventive programs and interventions in the field of marital infidelity.

This study aimed to develop a model of psychological flexibility in high school students based on academic resilience, with sense of coherence as a mediating variable. A descriptive correlational design utilizing structural equation modeling was employed, involving 350 secondary school students from Khorramabad, Iran, in the 2023–2024 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using the Multidimensional Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire, the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (short version), and the Academic Resilience Scale. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS26 and AMOS24. The findings revealed significant direct effects of academic resilience (β=0.31, p<0.001) and sense of coherence (β=0.51, p<0.001) on psychological flexibility, as well as a direct effect of academic resilience on sense of coherence (β=0.56, p<0.001). Additionally, sense of coherence partially mediated the relationship between academic resilience and psychological flexibility (indirect effect=0.28, p<0.001), with academic resilience explaining 32% of the variance in sense of coherence and, together with sense of coherence, accounting for 52% of the variance in psychological flexibility. These results suggest that fostering academic resilience and sense of coherence can significantly enhance students’ psychological flexibility, providing a foundation for designing educational and psychological interventions to improve mental health and academic performance.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of anxiety in the relationship between parental conflict and adolescent sleep problems. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was employed using a sample of 404 adolescents from Pakistan, selected based on the Morgan and Krejcie table. Participants completed standardized questionnaires measuring perceived parental conflict, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-27 for Pearson correlation analysis and AMOS-21 for Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The assumptions of normality, linearity, and multicollinearity were confirmed prior to analysis. The SEM approach allowed for testing both direct and indirect pathways within the proposed mediation model. Findings: Results from Pearson correlation indicated significant positive associations between parental conflict and anxiety (r = .51, p < .001), anxiety and sleep problems (r = .55, p < .001), and parental conflict and sleep problems (r = .47, p < .001). The structural model demonstrated good fit indices (χ² = 204.38, df = 84, χ²/df = 2.43, GFI = 0.94, AGFI = 0.91, CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.059). SEM analysis showed that parental conflict significantly predicted anxiety (b = 0.38, p < .001) and sleep problems (b = 0.19, p < .001), while anxiety significantly predicted sleep problems (b = 0.42, p < .001). The indirect effect of parental conflict on sleep problems through anxiety was also significant (b = 0.16, p < .001), confirming the mediating role of anxiety. Conclusion: The findings indicate that anxiety is a significant mediator in the relationship between parental conflict and adolescent sleep disturbances. These results underscore the need for family-based and anxiety-focused interventions to address sleep problems in adolescents exposed to high-conflict home environments.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the components of enhancing dyadic ego strength (facilitating the transition from "I-ness" to "We-ness" in marital relationships) specifically for married individuals. The research setting included all texts related to the concept of "We-ness." Methods: The method for selecting texts was purposive sampling from among the aforementioned texts or related constructs within the time frame of 2010 to 2025, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of texts was determined according to the principle of data saturation. Data collection involved line-by-line analysis of texts based on questions relevant to the concept of "We-ness." The data obtained from the textual analysis were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method proposed by Hsieh and Shannon (2005). Findings: Content analysis of the texts revealed that dyadic ego consists of four key concepts: (1) essence (with sub-concepts of attention to marital union and dyadic identity); (2) dimensions of dyadic ego (with sub-concepts of cognitive, positive emotional, negative emotional, and behavioral aspects); (3) pathways to achieving dyadic ego (with sub-concepts of generative meaning of the marital bond, family values, and family goals); and (4) obstacles to achieving dyadic ego (with sub-concepts of individualism, lack of self-differentiation, and insecure attachment). Conclusion: Based on these findings, it can be concluded that dyadic ego is a mechanism that transforms the process of "I-ness" into "We-ness," and for its realization, couples must engage in pathways to attain it and overcome its obstacles.
