Abstract: Emotional divorce is the most important stage in the divorce process and indicates a declining marital relationship, which has increased in recent years. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between lovemaking styles and cognitive distortions with emotional divorce in women. The research design was descriptive, of correlational type. The statistical population of the present study was all married women in District 2 of Tehran in 2019. To conduct this study, 150 people were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and asked to complete the Emotional Divorce Scale (EDS), Sternberg Love Scale (SLS), and the Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale (ICDS). The results of the study showed that emotional divorce has a significant negative relationship with each of the dimensions of lovemaking styles, i.e. sincere love, passionate love and committed love and have a significant positive relationship with each of the dimensions of cognitive distortions, i.e. rejection in interpersonal relationships, unrealistic expectations in relationships and misunderstanding in interpersonal relationships. In addition, according to other results of the study, among the styles of lovemaking, "committed style" and among the cognitive distortions, "misunderstanding in interpersonal relationships" were significant predictors of emotional divorce in women. Therefore, counselors and therapists can reduce the likelihood of emotional divorce in women by providing timely and appropriate interventions and training in the field of lovemaking styles and cognitive distortions.

Coronavirus conditions have caused stress in people and have imposed much damage on them. Traumatic conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) cause dysfunctional relationships and even violence between spouses. The present study was an attempt to predict domestic violence against women during coronavirus quarantine based on cognitive flexibility with the mediating role of resilience. The present correlational type of study was conducted on a sample of 241 married women in the Karaj city by using the violence against women questionnaire (VTWI), cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI), and resilience scale (CD-RISC). The results of the present study revealed that the direct and positive effects of psychological flexibility on the components of controllability perception and the direct and positive effects of behavior justification perception on resilience were significant. There was a significant and positive relationship between resilience and domestic violence. Resilience also mediated the relationship between the components of controllability perception and behavior justification perception and domestic violence. Results of the present study revealed that women's psychological factors play a major role in causing violence towards them, and therapists can consider these factors in the treatment sessions of women under violence to reduce violence towards women.

Extramarital relationship is the establishment of any relationship with a third party without the knowledge of the spouse. Marital infidelity is a multidimensional issue in which various factors play a role. The aim of this study was to combine the results of qualitative studies conducted in the area of infidelity and extramarital affairs in men and women using a meta-synthesis method. The research method was qualitative meta-synthesis from the perspective of Sandelowski and Barroso. After asking the research question, systematic search based on Persian and English keywords was performed from domestic databases such as Noormagz, Magiran, SID and foreign databases such as Google scholar, PubMed, Scopus from 2002 to 2021. A total of 61 qualitative articles were extracted. Some of these articles were excluded due to the inappropriateness in the content, irrelevant research method and duplication. Finally, 14 articles were reviewed. The meta-synthesis results showed that three factors, including basic or underlying (14 concepts), contextual (12 concepts) and intervening (19 concepts) factors are directly and indirectly involved in extramarital affairs and infidelity. Contextual and intervening factors may pave the way for the emergence of basic factors in causing marital infidelity. Also, the basic factor is not only influenced by other factors but also plays a decisive role in infidelity. A set of factors play a role in the occurrence of infidelity and each of them can be play a role in this regard. By identifying these factors and developing an educational package appropriate to each of the causes, effective action can be taken to prevent infidelity.
