The aim of this research is to provide a suitable model to determine the factors affecting the professional ethics of teaching at Payam Noor University in the West of the country using the SMART-PLS structural equation modeling method. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of nature and method. The statistical population includes 425 academic members of Payam Noor University in the West of the country (Kermanshah, Hamedan, Kurdistan and Ilam). 202 people were selected as a sample using Cochran's formula. By examining the theoretical foundations and reviewing research backgrounds, the variables affecting the professional ethics of teaching were identified and confirmed by experts. Effective factors in eight main groups; Avoiding criticism, non-discrimination, work justice, keeping secrets, respect, responsibility and coordinated evaluation were classified and the research model was developed. Then the questionnaire was distributed among the statistical population and the data were analyzed with the help of equation modeling. Validity (confirmatory factor analysis) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) of the questionnaires indicate that the measurement tools have good validity and reliability. The results of hypothesis testing by SMART-PLS software and using t-test statistics and path coefficients (β) showed that the eight factors have a positive and significant relationship with teaching professional ethics.

Family life is tied to many dangers that destroyed family life and family health. One of these dangers is marital infidelity, which has many problems and many psychological effects for someone who has been betrayed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two therapies, reality therapy and emotionally focused therapy on betrayed women in Tehran. The research design was quasi-experimental with two experimental groups and one control group. The community consisting of all married women who were betrayed and referred to counseling centers of the Behzisty organization of Tehran. A sample of 45 patients was randomly divided into three groups (Experiment 1, Experiment 2 and Control) and each group have 15 patients. The research instruments included marital quality questionnaire (Busby et al., 1995) and Enrich marriage satisfaction (Olson, Fornier, and Drackman, 1989). The statistical results indicated that both experimental groups had a significant difference compared to the control group. The results of multivariate covariance analysis also showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in Glaser's therapeutic approach and Emotionally focused therapy on dependent variables. The results of the LSD test showed that there was no significant difference between the efficacy of Glaser's therapy and Emotionally focused therapy on marital quality in the post-test, but marital satisfaction score in EFT was higher than Glaser's therapeutic approach. Therefore, both treatments have been effective in increasing the marital quality and marital satisfaction, and emotion-focused therapy has been more effective in marital satisfaction than the Reality therapy.
