“…In one way, people use silence to punish the other person, cut them out from communications, and show their dissatisfaction. However, not expressing your disagreement or negative feeling also can be seen as controlling your emotions and avoiding further conflicts (Shokoohi-Yekta et al, 2012). This is in line with the findings of our study.…”

“…Moreover, politeness and respect are two important concepts that are intertwined with interactions inside families and in interpersonal relationships (Behzadi, 1994). The notion of respect often refers to accepting the authority and wisdom of an older person, while being polite means agreeing with others and not showing a strong point of view that might be seen to contradict others (Shokoohi-Yekta, Shahaeian, & Parand, 2012). It is therefore reasonable to assume that parents would not encourage their children to express their minds, and instead emphasize reaching agreement with others.…”

“…Consistent with the present results, previous studies have also revealed that people who have defects in problemsolving skills, such as understanding the feelings and point of view of others, understanding the motivations, considering the results of affairs, means-end thinking, finding other solutions, and consecutive scheduling can be trained to improve their ability. If their limitation in resolving issues is originated from incompatibility and the experience of negative affections, such as anxiety, depression, and generally low mental well-being, such training will improve not only their cognitive-behavioral skills but also their mental and behavioral health [7,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. While adding new results to the empirical evidence available in the field of cognitive psychology, the results of this study emphasize the importance of the role of family-centered problem-solving training to the mothers of autistic children.…”

“…It increases the possibility of choosing the best and the most effective responses; by using it, individuals identify and discover effective strategies to cope with life-threatening situations [22,23]. A lot of research evidence highlights the importance of problem-solving skills training to prevent behavioral, psychological, communicational, and cognitive problems [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. As well, the results of numerous studies suggest that problem-solving intervention significantly impacts mental well-being.…”

“…It is argued that in Iranian families, the concept of respect refers to agreement inside the family and children are expected to think before they talk, not to show their disregard to other family members. Caution should be taken in expressing one's disagreement, especially toward an adult or an older person, because age often is considered as a sign of wisdom and being knowledgeable (Shokoohi-Yekta, Shahaeian, & Parand, 2012). There is more emphasis in learning, gaining knowledge, and doing things in proper ways in Chinese and Iranian countries compared with Western ones.…”
