Results: The results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy had an effect on marital intimacy (F = 4.94, p = 0.032) and sexual satisfaction (F = 39.46, p = 0.001). The two-month follow-up phase remained stable. Conclusion: Because the treatment of acceptance and commitment led to improved intimacy and marital satisfaction, it can be used as an effective intervention method to improve marital intimacy and sexual satisfaction in premenopausal women.

The internal consistency coefficients of the components of goals, tasks and concerns and the total items were 0.97, 0.82, 0.88 and 0.87, respectively. Conclusion: Since the fit indices of the factor analysis model had a good fit and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients indicated the internal consistency of the items of this tool, the questionnaire has good validity and reliability and it can be used to assess balanced possible selves’ and to check for inconsistency among high school students.

The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the findings of exploratory factor analysis. Fit indices were obtained in both models of confirmatory factor analysis at the appropriate level of 0.001. The overall reliability coefficient of the scale was obtained by Cronbach's alpha (0.88) and retest method (0.86) for the desired level.

Aim: Delay discounting, as a hot executive function, refers to a tendency toward smaller immediate rewards compered to larger delayed rewards. In the present study we aimed to design a Persian version of delay discounting test and evaluation of its psychometric properties. Method: In the present cross-sectional study, 219 elementary school students were requited with the mean age of 9.72 years (7-12 years), by non- probably sampling. The delay discounting task was conducted on the subjects. This task was repeated in 35 students after 3 weeks. The ANOVA and Pearson correlation test was performed for the assessment of differential validity and test-retest reliability, respectively. Results: There was a significant difference between the educational groups and genders, at the level of p<0.05. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.71 that represents the test-retest reliability of the delay discounting test. Conclusion: According to the results of this study girls had a better performance in delay discounting than boys and this task is a reliable and valid test for the evaluation of delay discounting in children.
