The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of social story intervention on the social skills of male students suffering from autism. The study’s procedure was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design With a control group. The participants included 30 male students with autistic disorder in Shiraz in the academic year of 2012- 2013 who were selected by in available sampling method and assigned into experimental and control groups، randomly; hence، each group consists of 15 students. Both groups were undergone a post-test. The experimental group received Social story training in 16 sessions while control group did not. After the intervention period for experimental group the post-test was administered for both groups. The Stone''s and et al (2010) social skills assessment questionnaire was employed to assess the social skills. The data analyses by ANCOVA showed that there was a significant increase in the mean scores of social skills and subscales (understanding/perspective taking، initiating interactions and maintaining interactions) in experimental group (P<0. 01). Observations implied the interference of social stories for improving social skills of male students with autistic disorder. Therefore، as the study’s findings implied، social stories construction and employment is highly recommended to improve the social skills of autistic male students.

This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of group cognitive behavioral therapy in increasing of perceived anxiety control in young children with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This study was design two groups of pretest- posttest. The sample included 32 GAD girls who had major diagnosis of GAD based on DSM-IV-TR. The samples were recruited in two groups (one experimental and one control group) by randomized allocation. The experimental group received cognitive behavioral therapy in 18 sessions، with duration of 90 minutes weekly. The results of the study showed، the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on increasing of perceived emotion and stress control، but it was not effective on perceived threat control. Cognitive behavioral therapy Would be effective therapy in increasing of perceived emotion and stress control in treatment of children with GAD. However attention on perceived threat control in children''s protocol could be more efficient.

Given the importance of research and research motivation in students، especially graduate students، measuring of research motivation is important for teachers and researchers in this important research area، The present study was conducted to validate the research motivation scale. The study population consisted of graduate students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. From the above، a sample size of 280 graduate students were selected. To collect data used from the scale of research motivation and research self-efficacy that had been made by Salehi، Karsheki،Ahanhiyan & Karimi Moneghi (2011). To verify the reliability the internal consistency was used and for evaluating factor structure، factor analysis method was used. Content validity of the scale was established by professors and experts in research methods and psychology. Results of factor analysis showed that the factor structure of 3 of research motivation were confirmed. The results showed that research self-efficacy has a significant positive correlation with research intrinsic and extrinsic motivation، and has a negative relation with research amotivation. Cronbach''s alpha internal consistency coefficients for the subscales of intrinsic motivation research، research intrinsic motivation and amotivation، respectively was 0. 93، 0. 86 and 0. 76. These results indicated that the test has satisfactory reliability and validity. So the research motivation scale can be used to evaluate research motivations، interests and attitudes of students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between conflict (parent –adolescent)، resiliency with psychological problems in teenagers in shiraz city. This study was a descriptive study of correlation type. statistical population Were boys and girls students in secondary school education in four areas in the city Shiraz in the year 91 to 92 and They Were in the 2nd and 3ed years of junior high. For this purpose، 400 students (190 girls - 210 boys) in the second and third-year With cluster sampling method were selected. Questionnaires to collect data from the Depression، Anxiety، Stress DASS Lovibond & Lovibond 1995، Conflict Tactics Scale Murray Strauss1990، Form Conflict with parents and Resiliency Scale and Conner& DavidSon 2003 were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The results showed that there were a significant relationship between conflict (parent– adolescent) and psychological problems. Moreover there was a significant relationship between psychological problems (depression، anxiety، stress) and conflict (verbal، aggression and reasoning). In addition، using regression analysis، psychological problems and resiliency could be predicted by conflict and reasoning respectively. So the move conflict were related to higher psychological problems and higher resiliency were related to lower psychological problems.

The aim of the present research was to investigate the psychometric properties of Aspiration Index in a sample of Iranian university students. To do so، 502 undergraduate Langaroud Payame Noor University students were selected by convenience sampling method and were asked to complete Aspiration Index (AI)، Integrative Self-Knowledge (ISK)، Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF)، Margolis-Thomas Narcissism Scale (MTNS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Second order confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the factor structure of the Iranian sample is congruent with factor structure of the American samples (Kasser & Ryan، 1996). In addition، correlation coefficients of the Aspiration Index with other scales were confirmed the convergent and divergent validity of the Aspiration Index، Cronbach''s alpha coefficients also showed the good internal consistency of the Aspiration Index. The results according to Self-Determination Theory and Contingencies of Self-Worth Theory emphasized to on the types of values not only to obtain them.

The purpose of current research was to investigate the relationship between positive and negative dimension of perfectionism with job burnout and the mediating role of unconditional self acceptance. This research was a descriptive correlation study. Population was based on male and female nurses in Tehran hospitals that 395 of them were selected through random clustering sampling and filled in Frost et al. ''s perfectionism questionnaire، Chamberlain & Haaga''s (2001) Unconditional self acceptance questionnaire، and Maslach & Jackson''s job burnout questionnaire. In order to analyze the data، structural equations modeling، in Lisrel software was utilized. Fit indices of structural equation modeling، supported the model; in other words، the results showed that positive perfectionism has a direct relationship with Unconditional self acceptance while، negative perfectionism has a reverse relationship with Unconditional self acceptance Unconditional self acceptance. The results also showed that Unconditional self acceptance has a reverse relationship with dimensions of job burnout.
