Abstract: Dissatisfaction, incompatibility, and couple relationship distress have made health of the individual and family difficult and will lead to irreparable consequences at the community level; therefore, the present study aimed to investigate fitting of the causal model based on the couple relationship distress according to negative meta-emotion with the mediating role of rejection sensitivity in married people. The method of present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of all married people in Rasht city in the summer of 2019. Two hundred people from this statistical population were selected via multistage random sampling and participated in this research. The instruments of Marital Taxon Self-Report Measure (MTSRM), Meta-Emotion Scale (MES), and The Rejection Sensitivity RS-adult Questionnaire (A-RSQ) were used for gathering data. The results showed that negative meta-emotion and rejection sensitivity had a positive and significant relationship with the couple relationship distress. The results also showed that rejection sensitivity can mediate the relationship between negative meta-emotion and the couple relationship distress. The results indicate the importance of negative meta-emotion and rejection sensitivity in predicting the couple relationship distress. Thus, the findings of this study, in addition to expanding the research literature, highlight the necessity to pay attention to emotional and interpersonal characteristics in couple's relationship promotion programs in order to reduce marital distress for psychologists.

: Bullying, as the most prominent type of violence in schools, is defined as a state of power imbalance between two individuals in which the stronger person hurts the weaker person through repeatedly physical, verbal or psychological causes. The present study aimed at identifying the role of family functioning in bullying behaviors by affective empathy. Statistical population of the study included all the first grade male high school students of Bostan Abad city in the academic year of 2018/2019. 245 student participants completed the Family Functioning Device (FAD), the Bullying/Victim Questionnaire (B/VQ) and the Balanced Emotional Empathy Scale (BEES). The results indicated that poor family functioning was correlated negatively with empathy and positively with bullying behaviors. The results also showed a negative correlation between empathy and bullying behaviors. Path coefficients indicated that weak family functioning had a negative effect on empathy. It also had a meaningfully positive effect on bullying behaviors. Moreover, the effect of empathy path coefficient on bullying behavior was meaningful. In other words, poor family functioning could directly affect bullying behaviors through the mediation of empathy. According to the results, family functioning affects bullying behaviors through empathy both directly and indirectly. The findings of the present study can be used by psychologists and professionals to prevent bullying-related behaviors.
