The statistical population consists of all staff and students of Iran that selected by using available sampling of four cities (Tehran, Shiraz, Yazd and saqez). 625 employees and 264 students from various universities, organizations and cities were selected by cluster sampling and they filled out the questionnaire. The research method included calculation of t scores, Cronbach’s Alpha and split-half method was used. The standard and norm table was provided for both employees and students. The results showed that the test reliability by Cronbach’s Alpha method was 0.901 for employees and 884 for students. The results imply that there is no significant difference between the two halves of the test. Generally, the findings indicated that this scale is a valid instrument with desirable psychometric evidence for assessing career resiliency in Iranian society.

During an identical condition, data from both groups were collected by means of demographic information questionnaire resiliency and then analyzed as the pre-test. Subsequently, during a period of 10 sessions participants of experimental group were instructed the model of healthy family, whereas control group received no specific instruction. After that, both groups participated in a following post-test and data were analyzed using ANCOVA. Results: The results discovered that instruction of model of healthy family has a meaningful and positive impact on resiliency (P<0/05) in mothers of children with ASD.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of integrating positive thinking and resiliency training on body image concerns and social self-efficacy in adolescent boys. Methods: This research was an experimental study with a quasi-experimental design that included a pretest/posttest with a control group. The population included all 10th grade male students in Tehran’s 16th district. One of the high schools in that area was selected through convenient sampling method. From the entire 10th grade students in that high school, 30 were selected based on the highest scores obtained in the Littleton and colleagues (2005) BICI questionnaire and were randomly placed in two experimental and control groups. Then, both groups responded to the Smith and Betz (2000) social self-efficacy scale. Eight approximately 75-minute training sessions of integrating positive thinking and resiliency were conducted for the experimental group, while the control group did not receive any training during this period. At the end of the course of experiment, post-test was performed and the data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and covariance analysis. Findings: The findings showed that training had a significant effect on reducing body image concern and increasing social self-efficacy of adolescents. Conclusions: It can be concluded that integrated training of positive thinking and resiliency can be a suitable method for reducing body image concern and increasing social self-efficacy in adolescents.

Data collection tools were Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) and Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale (1989). Data were analyzed by visual mapping, reliable change index and recovery percentage formula. Findings: Dialectical behavioral therapy was able to increase the couple's resilience (83.19% recovery), which lasted for three months until the end of the follow-up period (71% improvement). Also, dialectical behavioral therapy was able to increase the psychological well-being of couples (44.28% improvement) which was permanent until the end of the three-month follow-up period (69.83% improvement). The sustainable change index also indicated a significant change (P> 0.05). Conclusion: The results of clinical analysis of significance showed the effectiveness and importance of dialectical behavioral therapy intervention in enhancing couple resilience and psychological well-being of troubled couples and the mentioned variable could explain high rate of resilience and psychological well-being in maladaptive conditions.

Findings: Intergroup comparison showed that the difference between the mean scores of life satisfaction (p=0.042), problem-solving skills (p=0.049), and hope (p=0.012) between the experimental and control groups was significant. Therefore, administering group Impact Therapy was effective and increased life satisfaction, problem-solving skills and hope of adolescent girls in stressful families.
