Abstract
The aim of this research was to evaluate and explain the predicting role of "marriage expectation models" based on "differentiation" mediated by "marriage attitudes." The statistical population of this study consists of all the students of Hormozgan University. To this end, 200 female students were selected randomly as the sample. The research method was both descriptive and correlational. The research tools include the Jones and Nelson Marriage Expectation Scale (1997), Skowron Differentiation Scale as well as the Braaten and Rosén Marriage Attitude Scale (1998). For the evaluation of the proposed model, the Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS-23 software as well as the maximum likelihood estimation method was used. The results showed that the evaluated model benefit from acceptable goodness of fit indicators. The results of structural equations revealed that differentiation has a direct and positive effect on marriage attitude and on the realistic expectation of marriage. Differentiation also has a direct and negative effect on the pessimistic expectation of marriage. On the other hand, the differentiation has an indirect and positive effect on the realistic expectation of marriage and on the pessimistic expectation of marriage through the marriage attitude. The present study showed that differentiation can be a determinant for marital expectations and attitudes.

Abstract
The current research investigated the effectiveness of gestalt therapy on anxiety, differentiation of self, and ego strength of men with generalized anxiety disorder working in Asaluyeh. This was a practical, quantitative, pretest, posttest, three-month follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population was 400 men with generalized anxiety disorder working in Asaluyeh. 30 men were selected by cluster sampling. They were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups. For the experimental group, gestalt therapy intervention was conducted during 8 sessions for 2 months. To collect information, standard questionnaires were used, including the Psychological Inventory of Ego Strength (PIES), Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). To analyze the data, analysis of covariance was used. The difference inanxiety, differentiation of self, and ego strength between the two experimental and control groups in the post-test and follow-up was statistically significant. The obtained results indicated the effectiveness of gestalt therapy on anxiety, differentiation of self, and ego strength of men with generalized anxiety disorder working in Asaluyeh. Also, the effect of gestalt therapy on anxiety is stable in the long term.

Abstract
The study examines the relationship between emotional schemas, self-differentiation, mentalization, and borderline personality features in order to increase recognition of these features though they are common in a non-clinical population. This study examined 242 students of Iran Kharazmi University, using standard questionnaires; Leahy's emotional schemas, self-differentiation scale, reflective performance questionnaire, and borderline personality scale. We utilized statistical software SPSS (Version 22), Lisrel 8.50, Mplus 7 in order to apply analytical methods such as Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The participants were 68 men (28.1%) and 174 women (71.9%). According to the Goodness of Fit indices, the structural model presented fit the data well. This study found significant coefficients for all paths in the model. In addition, the coefficients determining the endogenous variables of the model were also optimal. Thus, the current model could explain 53% of borderline personality features. In the analysis, emotional schemas were found to be positively and significantly associated with borderline personality features as a result of their differentiation of the self and mentalization. Based on these important results, programs and clinical interventions can be developed in order to reduce borderline personality features in the normal population and to prevent borderline personality disorders.
