This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment for emotional disorders in reducing internalizing behavioral problems in children aged 8 to 12 with parents experiencing emotional divorce. The statistical population encompassed all minors within this age bracket who visited health centers in Shahreza County in 2021. A total of 30 children (18 girls and 12 boys) were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups after completing pre-test questionnaires. The mothers of these children scored above the threshold point on the emotional divorce questionnaire. For fifteen sessions, the experimental group received transdiagnostic integrated treatment for emotional disorders. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was implemented to analyze the research data. The results indicated that the treatment group's score of internalizing problems was considerably lower than that of the control group in both the post-test and follow-up stages (p < 0.05). Additionally, these effects remained consistent throughout the follow-up phase. According to the results of this study, transdiagnostic treatment for emotional disorders not only mitigates internalizing behavioral issues in children but also sustains these effects over time. These results underscore the significance of addressing the psychological requirements of these children and indicate that similar psychological interventions may be effective in enhancing their emotional and psychological well-being. Additionally, it is advised that such treatment programs be implemented in health and educational facilities to improve the psychological well-being of children in comparable circumstances.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the “Civility, Respect & Engagement in Workplace (CREW)” intervention on employees’ relational energy and well-being by controlling for extroversion. The study was an applied and quasi-experimental study with a pretest/posttest and control group design. The statistical population consisted of all employees at the headquarters of Isfahan Gas Company in 2019, which amounted to 610 individuals (95 females and 515 males). The research sample consisted of 30 volunteers (23 males and 7 females) who participated in the study and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this research were the Relational Energy Questionnaire )REQ(, the Employee Well-Being Questionnaire (EWBQ), and NEO Personality Inventory) NEO-PI). The “civility, respect & engagement at Work” intervention was delivered in 8 sessions lasting 90 minutes for the experimental group, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using the MANCOVA method of SPSS version 23. The results indicate that the CREW intervention improved employees’ relationship energy and well-being in the posttest by controlling extroversion. Thus, managers can develop employees’ relationship energy and well-being and support them by implementing the CREW intervention.

Purpose: A wide range of variables, including cognitive, emotional and relational factors, could affect the level of peacefulness. The purpose of this paper is to examine key variables (theory of mind (ToM) and harmony) that mediate the personality trait of peacefulness. Design/methodology/approach: The participants were 182 university students recruited from three universities in Isfahan, Iran. Some different scales were applied in order to measure the intended peace variables. Findings: The findings demonstrate that ToM, as the ability to attribute mental states, significantly mediates the association between interpersonal peacefulness and inhibition skill, interpersonal peacefulness and conflict resolution abilities, and interpersonal peacefulness and level of aggression. In addition, harmony mediates the relationship between intrapersonal peacefulness, hope, intrapersonal peacefulness and self-compassionate competency. Practical implications: These findings indicate that peaceful feelings enable a person to provide more attention to the concerns of others and to relationship issues. Originality/value: This an original type of study in the field of peace psychology. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.
