Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a self-regulated learning program and evaluate its impact on the academic motivation of male and female students in Shahed high schools in Zahedan (Iran). The study followed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements, using two experimental and control groups. The sample population consisted of all male and female students in these schools during the academic year 2021. A multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to select 60 students (30 girls and 30 boys), who were then randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 boys and 15 girls in each group). Data was collected using Academic Motivation Scale (AMS, Vallerand et al., 1989) )and analyzed using analysis of covariance. The post-test mean scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group in academic motivation, indicating that the self-regulated learning program had a positive impact. These findings suggest that educational organizations and public and private centers responsible for educating students can use this program to enhance academic motivation in classroom settings and educational workshops.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the pathology and family integration within the process and content model in high and low resilience families. The method of the current research is a descriptive survey and the statistical population includes 6000 parents of middle school students were living in Shiraz city in 2020. The sample size of the research was 361 people who were selected by accessible sampling method. Self-report family content scale (SFCS), self-report family process scale and Sixbey Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS) were used to collecting data. The data were analyzed using the MANOVA test. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between high and low resilience families in the subscales of job and education, time to be together, financial resources, physical appearance, social dignity and physical and mental health. According to the findings, coping skills, cohesion and mutual respect and religious belief, decision-making, problem solving and communication skills were higher in families with high resilience than families with low resilience. In general, the findings exhibited that there is a significant difference between high and low resilience families in family integrity.

Abstract
Objective: This research was conducted to develop a marital attachment needs scale based on a mixed method research.
Methods: In the first phase, attachment interviews were conducted with 35 married people (18 male and 17 female). Based on this step, the first version of the Marital Attachment Needs Scale (MANS) was developed with 12 items. To develop the first version of the MANS, these 12 items are designed on a 5-point scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. In the second phase of the research, 140 married people (62 female and 78) male completed the initial form of the Marital Attachment Needs Scale. In addition to the marital attachment needs scale, to examine the convergent and divergent validity psychometric indexes, the marital conflicts scale (MCS) and the short form of the experienced close relationship scale (ECR-S) were used.
Results: Factor analysis showed a G-factor with an eigenvalue of 6.26 and a variance percentage of 52.19. The alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability coefficient for MANS were 0.90 and 0.92, respectively. Also, the results showed efficient convergent and divergent validity for the marital attachment needs scale. To check the G-factor hypothesis, confirmatory factor analysis (ML) was used. The results of the ML confirmatory factor analysis confirm the extracted G-factor in PC exploratory factor analysis for the MANS.
Conclusions: Overall, the results of this research indicated the adequacy of the psychometric properties of the marital attachment needs scale for clinical and research jobs.
