Popis: INTRODUCTION ... [1, 2]. Marital relationship is an essential factor in creating peace [3]. Several factors can be influential in the quality of this matter and make couples that have marital conflicts over time. Experts have defined conflict as a type of marital relationship in which violent behaviors cause discomfort [4]. ... [5, 6]. The study of resilience tries to find an answer to this question why some people show more tolerance in times of trouble. ... [7, 8]. One of the most important interventions in this field is Adlerian therapy, which has received less attention in the field of family therapy in Iran [9]. ... [10-12]. The goal of Adlerian couple therapy is to increase the self-esteem of each party, as well as to increase social interest and belonging to each other [13]. ... [14-16]. In addition to Adlerian therapy, which plays an essential role in reducing marital problems, one of the necessary treatments for improving marital functions is emotion-focused therapy, which plays an important role in raising the family resilience level of couples [5]. According to the proposed research framework, it can be seen that so far, no research has investigated and compared the effectiveness of Adlerian and emotion-focused intervention on the resilience of women with marital conflicts at the same time [8, 9, 12, 14, 17, 18] and most importantly, the mentioned interventions have not been carried out in multiple or group forms. This type of intervention, in addition to creating more motivation for members to work, can give more opportunities for the therapist to do more interventions in one session. AIM(s) The present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of Adlerian and emotion-focused interventions on the resilience of women with marital conflict. RESEARCH TYPE This research is semi-experimental, with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group with a 3-month follow-up. RESEARCH SOCIETY, PLACE & TIME The statistical population of this research was all the women with marital conflicts who were referred to counseling and psychological services centers in district 12 of Tehran in 2021. SAMPLING METHOD & NUMBER At first, to hold the meetings based on a call and by the available sampling method, among the married women who volunteered to participate in the meetings and the questionnaire on marital conflicts was implemented on them; those who scored between 111 and 191 and more in this questionnaire were selected and 60 women were identified as samples. Based on previous studies [3], these 60 people were randomly assigned to groups (20 in the Adlerian intervention group, 20 in the emotion-focused therapy group, and 20 in the control group). USED DEVICES & MATERIALS To collect data, the marital conflicts questionnaire (MCQ) by Sanaei Zaker et al. (2017) and the resilience scale (RISC) by Connor and Davidson (2003) were used. The marital conflicts questionnaire is classified with 54 questions, conflicts of couples in four levels: no conflict with a score of 12 to 90, normal conflict with a score of 90 to 111, excessive conflict with a score of 111 to 191, and very intense conflict with a score higher than 190 [10]. ... [19-23]. In another study, Cronbach's alpha of all questions was 0.75, and its subscales were in the range of 0.69 to 0.73 [24]. METHOD Tables 1 and 2 include Adlerian group counseling sessions and emotion-focused couple therapy. In this research, ten sessions of emotion-focused therapy based on Johnson and Greenberg's theory and Bowlby's attachment theory were conducted for the experimental group. The validity of these sessions has been confirmed in the research of Imanirad et al. [29]. In the present study, the content validity ratio and the content validity index were used to check the content validity of the training packages. In order to calculate the CVR index, the opinions of experts in the desired field were used, and by explaining the objectives of the test and providing an operational definition related to the content of the questions, they were asked to classify each of the objectives. Then, the content validity ratio was calculated based on the CVR formula. Based on the number of experts who evaluated the objectives, the acceptable CVR value is 0.62. In this research, the content validity ratio (CVR) for all objectives in the training protocols was obtained between 0.9 and 1. Also, according to the number of experts, the acceptable value of CVI is 0.79. In this research, the content validity index (CVI) for all objectives in the educational package was between 0.9 and 1. ETHICAL PERMISSION The ethical principles of the current research were fully respected; the participants could leave the research whenever they wanted, and all their confidential information in the questionnaire would be preserved and not exploited. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS After completing the questionnaires, appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical methods such as mean and standard deviation and mixed variance analysis were used to analyze the data. Also, Bonferroni's post hoc test and SPSS 24 software were used to compare Adlerian intervention and emotion-focused therapy. FINDING BY TEXT The results of demographic surveys showed; the F statistic obtained from comparing the frequencies of the three groups in the age variable was F=0.374, which was not statistically significant (p>0.689), indicating that the three groups were equal in terms of age. (Table 3). Also, the results of the descriptive data at this stage showed the average of the dependent variables of the experimental groups (Adlerian intervention and emotion-focused therapy) according to the measurement stages (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up). Since the values of the Shapiro-Wilks test were not significant in any levels (p>0.05), the scores' distribution was considered normal. Levene's test was also used to check the homogeneity of variances. According to the results, the index of Levene's test was not statistically significant in three levels of evaluation (p0.05). The significance level of the group and pre-test interaction effect was more significant than 0.05, indicating the homogeneity of the slope of the regression line. Considering that the defaults of mixed variance analysis have been met, this statistical test was used (Table 4). Mauchly's sphericity test obtained a significant level of p
