This study showed hope therapy promotes achievement motivation.

The aim of this study was investigating of practicality، Reliability and Validity of direct and Indirect Prisoner Behaviors Checklist-Scaled version (DIPC-SCALED-r Ireland 2007) in non-political crime central prison in Hamadan city. A sample of 500 prisoners’ randomly was selected. Checklist included two forms of 49 questions to measure the victimization and the 58 questions to measure bullying. To obtain validity of questionnaire used two

test-retest and internal consistency (Cronbach''s alpha). The correlation coefficient for the victimization form was r =0. 47 and for bullying form was r =0. 43 which were significant in P<0. 001. Cronbach alpha coefficient computed for the victimization form 0. 92 and for the bullying form 0. 90. After removing 12 items of the first form and to items from second form which had weak correlation، validity coefficients became more significant: 0. 90 and 0. 89. To check the validity of log structures and what factors that is saturated، the factor analysis method was used. KMO and Bartlett''s sizes in two form of questionnaire indicated conditions for factor analysis was run. After exclusion of inappropriate questions by using principal component analysis and rotation matrix Promax and according to scree plot and percentage variances of the series form factor and 5 being the victim of bullying form the five factors were extracted. In the present study to check the validity of questionnaire used the criteria validity method. The results showed the coefficient for the form of victimization was r=0. 45 and for the form of bullying was r=o. 53.

The purpose of this study was to comparison effectiveness of Davis and Fernald methods on reading performance of dyslexia in third elementary school students. Participants were 45 students (15 students that received Fernald method، 15 students that received Davis method and15 students in control group) who were randomly selected and received 10 sessions individual intervention and control group received no intervention. Experimental design with pre-test and post-test was used. The assessment tools included Reading and Dyslexia Test (RDT)، Wechsler''s Intelligence scale for Children (WISC-IV) Wechsler''s and Recognition Learning Disability Children Checklist. The pre-test and post-test were administered to both the experimental and control groups. The results of covariance analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of reading test in the experimental and the control groups in the post test (p<0. 001). Also، the results of pair wise comparison of groups showed that there was significant difference between the mean scores of Davis and Fernald groups in the post test (p<0. 001).

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and emotional intelligence of university students. Research method was correlation، and statistical population included Miane university students in the school year 2011-12، among them 380 persons from different majors (226 female students and 154 male students) were selected by cluster random sampling method. The assessment tools included the 60-short form question of personality traits of NEO (NEO PI-R،1992) Questionnaire and Bar-on EQ test (1997) which consisted of 90 item. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient، stepwise regression analysis. Results showed significant positive relationship between extraversion، openness to experience، agreeableness and conscientiousness with emotional intelligence (P>0. 01)، But there was a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and emotional intelligence (P>0. 01). Also there were not significant different between males and females EQ (P>0. 05). Stepwise regression analysis showed that there were personality traits can significantly predict the emotional intelligence (P>0. 01).

Emotion cognitive regulation strategies are psychological components that play an important role in anxiety disorders. The purpose of this research was to predict death anxiety on the basis of emotion cognitive regulation strategies in students. In this descriptive correlational study، 130 (Male=66، Female=64) undergraduate students from the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili were selected using multistage cluster sampling; and filled the questionnaires of emotion cognitive regulation strategies and death anxiety. The data study from the sample was analyzed by the statistical methods of correlation and stepwise regression. Results revealed that between emotion cognitive regulation strategies and death anxiety signification correlated. Of between emotion cognitive regulation strategies; positive refocus on planning، catastrophizing، reappraisal، acceptance and rumination were the best predictors of the death anxiety in students (Adj. R2=0/26). The findings indicated that emotion cognitive regulation strategies are important psychological components in prediction of death anxiety.

The goal of the present study، in framework of a causal model، was to examine the relationship between identity aspects، goal orientations and affective component of happiness. Participants were 530 students (353 girls and 177 boys) selected from Shiraz university. The research instruments included Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-TV)، Achievement Goals Questionnaire and positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). To examine reliability of measures Cronbach alpha coefficient، and to determine the validity، factor analysis method were applied. The hypothetical model tested by sequential simultaneous regression analyses، with use of Baron and Kenny''s (1989) steps. Results of the steps of path analysis showed that Goal orientations could be regarded as mediators between identity aspects and affective component of happiness and personal identity was most powerful mediator between mastery approach (β= 0. 30، p<0. 001) and positive affect (β= 0. 32، p<0. 001).

The aim of this study was to comparison of personality traits between patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and normal matched group.
