The effectiveness of realistic acceptance and commitment therapy (RACT) on marital burnout and alexithymia in couples
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: The consequence of the lack of expressing emotions is the intensification of unpleasant thoughts and negative arousal in people, and this is known as one of the most important factors of marital conflicts. These self-inflicted negative thoughts ultimately strengthen the cycle of increasing dissatisfaction with marriage, the feeling of marital exhaustion and boredom; So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of RACT on marital burnout and alexithymia in couples. Method: The purpose of the current research was applied, and the way it was conducted was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with an experimental group and a control group and a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the research included all the couples referring to private counseling centers in the 5th district of Tehran in 2021. 30 couples were selected using the available sampling method and randomly assigned to an experimental group (15 couples) and a control group (15 couples). On the experimental group, a group intervention based on RACT was conducted based on the package compiled by Afshari et al. (2022). The research tools included Pines Marital Depression Questionnaire (1996) and Toronto Alexithymia (TAS-20). SPSS-26 software and mixed variance analysis with three-stage repeated measures were used for statistical analysis of data. Results: Based on the findings, there was a significant difference between the scores of marital burnout and alexithymia of the experimental and control groups in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up stages. The results of the analysis of the findings indicate that the RACT had a significant effect on the marital burnout and alexithymia of the experimental group. The effectiveness RACT was stable in the follow-up phase according to the Bonferroni post-hoc test. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that RACT can be used in family counseling and couple therapy centers to reduce marital burnout and Alexithymia of couples.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
