Abstract: (715 Views)
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of two therapeutic approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and schema therapy in addressing promoting spiritualism and conflict resolution styles among employed women.
Methods: A semi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with a control group was employed. The study sample consisted of 45 women who were purposefully selected from employees of Iran Khodro Industrial Group companies in 2022. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control group (n=15), schema therapy group (n=15), and acceptance and commitment therapy group (n=15). Participants completed questionnaires assessing spiritualism and conflict resolution styles. The research hypotheses were analyzed using mixed design analysis of variance.
Results: The findings indicate that both acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy significantly impact spirituality and conflict resolution styles among employed women.
Conclusion: Based on the results, the utilization of acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy is recommended to enhance spirituality and improve conflict resolution styles among employed women.
