The aim of this research was to study the relationships between dimensions of perceived teaching styles with autonomous motivation and creativity. A sample of 500 (girl & boy) third grade higher school students in Zahedan were selected by Cluster multi – level sampling method. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT,verbal form A & B) the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and the Teacher as a Social Context Questonnair (TASC) were administrated on all subjects. The questionnairs validity and reliability were satisfied with Convergent validity, equivalence reliability, Cronbach`s Alpha, Test-retest, and confirmatory factor analysis. The results of path analysis shows direct influence of perceived teaching style and indirect influence by mediating autonomous motivation on creativity. All path coefficients of purposed model were significant.

The purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between the personal values, and death anxiety among MS patients in Tehran. For this purpose 167 patients (103 female, 64 male) from the Tehran MS Society were selected by random sampling. The instruments used in this study were the Schwartz Value Scale (SVS) and the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS). Multivariable regression, Pearson correlation coefficient, and t-test for comparisons between female and male patients were used for data analysis. The results showed that there are significant correlation between personal values and death anxiety and there are significant negative correlations between all subscales of personal values (except for power) with death anxiety.In the prioritization of values, there are significant differences between men and women. Also from thr morphological values, conformity, achievement, universalism, and tradition can significantly predict death anxiety.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of training of words with similar phonetic letters on dictation skill to 3rd grade students in elementary schools. In this experimental study, sixty 3rd grade students who had problems in dictation of words with similar phonetic letters (according to the scores of dictation, teacher’s comments and the scores of 10 recent dictations) selected from elementary school randomly. and assigned to experimental and control groups in equal.The experimental group participated in 27 sessions and were educated by the words with similar phonetic letters. Two groups evaluated by teacher-made dictation test again after the last session. The scores of the two groups analyzed by independent t-test and two factors analysis of variances.Results showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.001) between mean scores of the two groups. Also, interactive effect of group and gender was significant (p<0.001) on decrease of dictation errors. In sum, it can be concluded that the training method in the present study, has improved dictation skill of students who had problems in dictation of words with similar phonetic letters.It is recommended that this method might be effective in training of students in addition to the running method.

The effectiveness of behavioral parent training on externalized problems (aggressive behavior and rule breaking) in 7 to 9 years old children was investigated in this study. Sixty parents whose children(aged 7 ta 9) had received the highest scores on the Child Behavioral Checklist (CBCL) and their problems were also confirmed by the Teacher Report Form (TRF) were selected.from a pool of 360 parents in two randomly selected schools in Tehran. Subjects were divided into control and experimental groups. the Experimental group received BPT for 4 weeks, twice a week sessions lasting tow hours. Results were analyzed using covariance and indicated that parents in the experimental group reported a significant decrease in externalized problems and aggressive behaviors as compared to the control group. In regard to rule breaking behavior, no significant difference was observed between the groups. The emerged findings can have clinical applications in prevention and treatment of child behavioral disorders.

The aim of this study is considering the method of facing the religious families toward identical confliction statuses. 30 families (including 30 parents and 30 children) were selected. At the first step, modern, religious and national identity questionnaires were applied. At the second step, participants were asked to grade these three conflicted positions: 1. Levels of tension 2. How much this feeling are logical 3. How much the others are right. The result revealed that there is no difference between young and adult generations in the religious and national identity, but there are significant disagreements in national and modern identity. Also the younger generation had less stress and much more right to others than the old generation.

Current study has been accomplished in the Piranshahr City to evaluate the impact of self-worth group training basd on human validation process model on improving Marital Satisfaction. 24 individuals were randomly selected as a sample group and were placed in two. experimental and watinglist groups. The Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale (47 questions) conducted in both groups as pre-test. Then, expremental group was trained in eight sessions according to the Human Validitation Process Model. After termination the sessions, both groups undertook post-test questionnaire. Findings suggested that selt-worth group training basd on Human Validitation Process Model significantly increased Marital Satisfaction level (p<0.001). In addition, the comparative analysis identified a significant difference between men and women in terms of impact of marital satisfaction level following the application this training. It was concluded that this model was more effective on women comparing with men (p<0.05).
