Abstract
One of the most sensitive problems, facing child psychiatry, is tire attempt to destroy oneself among children and adolescents. Consideration of a child’s way of thinking in regards of self-destruction and parents understanding of the problem is of utmost importance.
Suicide constitutes the third most prevalent cause leading to untimely deaths among adolescents between 15 and 24 years of age, and it claims 6000 lives annually only among adolescents. The most prevalent methods employed by boys are tire use of firearms and explosives, while girls prefer poisons and drugs. Poisoning, this may occur after the age of six, is rarely accidental and should be contemplated as a behavior pertinent to self-destruction attempt.
Nine-to-ten year - old children do not genuinely understand death, and suicidal attempts among them are rare. These attempts must not be regarded as their serious desire to die. Among adolescents the strong belief in revenge and animosity is too obvious, which is normally aimed at others or themselves. The relevant risk factors regarding children and adolescents self-destructive tendencies include: depression and threat to self-destruction which usually implicates their despair and must be taken into consideration seriously.
It’s highly recommended that suicidal patients in doctors, offices and hospital emergency wards be hospitalized for 2-3 days so that a better appraisal of their mentality and their environment as well as their relationship with their parents can be made.

Introduction: The family is the basic pillar of society and the main center of human growth and excellence. The formation of this sacred institution is due to the marital bond between a man and a woman. Satisfaction with married life refers to the satisfaction with the family and satisfaction with the family pertains to satisfaction with the lives of men and women.
Method: In the current survey questionnaires were used to collect data. Standard energy questionnaire (1998) was used to measure the variable of marital satisfaction, and for the variable of financial resources, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The statistical population of the research included married women over the age of 15 living in Tabriz city, and among them, 384 were selected as the sample using multi-stage cluster sampling.
Findings: The collected data showed that the mean value of women’s marital satisfaction was above average, and the mean value of available financial resources to them was above average. In the dimensions of marital satisfaction, the mean value of personality issues, couple relationship, conflict resolution, financial management, leisure time, sexual relationship, and relatives and friends were above average, and the dimension of marriage and children was lower than average. The result of tests showed that there is a significant direct relationship between marital satisfaction and its dimensions and available financial resources. According to the findings, the more financial resources available to women, the higher their marital satisfaction was likely to be. In fact, financial resources as a support can be effective in providing psychological security and subsequently improving marital relationships and marital satisfaction.

Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this research is to investigate the type of attitude and behavior of married women who have extramarital relationships from the perspective of rational choice theory.
Method: The research method was a survey and the data collection tool was a questionnaire. The validity of the research tool was confirmed through content validity, and its reliability was confirmed through Cronbach's alpha. The research population consisted of 87 married women from Behshahr, Babol and Babolsar cities in 1400 who had extramarital relationships. The theoretical framework of the research, the rational choice theory and the independent variables of the research, were derived from this theory. The non-random sampling method was snowballing type. The type of attitude towards extramarital relationships was investigated in three cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions.
Findings: The results of the research showed that 35.6 percent of the respondents have an average attitude, 33.3 percent have a positive attitude, and 31 percent have a negative attitude towards extramarital relationships. Also, among the variables of the theory of rational choice, the variables of pleasure-excitement and utilitarian need had a significant relationship. The independent variables of the research were able to explain 72.6% of the changes in the dependent variable of extramarital behavior and 50.3% of the changes in the dependent variable of attitude towards extramarital relationships.
Discussion: The meaningfulness of the pleasure-excitement variable means that by increasing the motivation of pleasure and excitement, curiosity, freedom and adventure in new relationships, the positive attitude of married women towards extramarital relationships increases and the commission of extramarital behavior increases. Also, the significance of the utilitarian need variable means that if the costs of extramarital relations are less than its benefits and the costs are long-term and ineffective, the probability of committing it increases. Examining and explaining the attitude towards extramarital relationships and extramarital behavior based on the choice theory is one of the innovations of this research.
Keywords: attitude, extramarital relations, extramarital behavior, family, married women, rational choice.
