The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between (positive and negative) emotional expression, marital adjustment, and burnout, and its comparison between blind and sighted couples. This study was conducted through two methods of correlation and comparative-causality. The participants of the study, including 180 couples; (90 blinded and 90 sighted couples), were selected by the snowball sampling method. The statistical population was all couples in Tehran. The data were collected using the marital burnout scale (by Pianes), marital adjustment test (by Lock and Wallace), and emotional expressiveness scale (by King and Emmons). The data were analyzed by the Multiple regression and Multivariate analysis of variance using the SPSS-20 software. Findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between positive emotional expressiveness and marital adjustment, and also between negative expressiveness with burnout (p<0/01). There was a significant difference between emotional expressiveness, marital adjustment, and marital burnout in blind and sighted couples; blind couples scored lower on positive emotional expressiveness and marital adjustment, higher on negative emotional expressiveness and marital burnout compared to sighted couples. As a result, it is necessary to pay attention to variables of emotion expressiveness and marital adjustment in order to prevent marital burnout in blinded couples.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship resiliency and perceived social support with adjustment of mothers with intellectually disable child. The method of this study is correlational. Statistical population of this study comprised of all mothers with intellectually disable child in Rasht city. From among this population, 150 mothers were selected as sample by using available sampling method. The used tools were Connor-Davidson Resiliency questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale and Bell's Adjustment Scale. Data analysis was performed through Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The findings proved that there is a positive significant correlation between resiliency and perceived social support with the adjustment of mothers with intellectually disable child (p<0/01). The results of regression analysis also revealed that%24 of the total variance of adjustment can be explained by resiliency and perceived social support. Therefore, it can be concluded that the lack of resilience and perceived social support may be taken into account as one of the important factors leading to nonadjustment of mothers with intellectually disable child.

The purpose of this study is to investigate personality traits and adjustment of mothers of normal and mentally retarded children in Tehran. The statistical population includes all mothers who in Tehran. The sample consists of 200 mothers (100 mothers with mentally retarded children and 100 with normal children) that were selected by convenience sampling method. For data collection, Bell’s social adjustment scale and Cattell’s 16 personality factor questionnaire are used in this study. The data are analyzed by using multivariate and univariate analysis of variance and T test. The results indicate that there is a significant difference between mothers of mentally retarded children and those of normal girls in terms of personality traits and adjustment. It means that mothers of mentally retarded children have lower adjustment level compared with mothers of normal girls. Also mothers of normal children have shown higher level of personality factors in general intelligence, emotional stability, creating a strong and stable temperament than mothers of mentally retarded children. According to the research findings, it is suggested that providing special trainings for parents can reduce stress, increase adaptability and is generally effective in improving mental health.
