Given the importance of selecting the right people for teleworking, this study aimed to investigate the role of introversion in psychological consequences according to demographic variables in teleworking during the corona period. The research method was correlational and the research sample was selected from 197 telework employees of a company by convenience sampling. Then they responded to research tools including the Beck Depression Inventory, Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ), Metacognition Questionnaire, Loneliness Scale, and Fear of evaluation Questionnaire. Correlation and regression analyzes were used to analyze the data. The results showed that demographic variables of age, life situation and recent unemployment predict psychological consequences. After including introversion in the model, living with others (as opposed to living alone) was associated with more severe loneliness, cognitive failures, and fear of evaluation as a result of changes in the conditions by the Coronavirus. The coefficient β is negative about loneliness. That means in this situation the introvert shows a greater tendency to be with others to reduce loneliness. This finding contradicts the background. Organizations are advised to pay attention to their personality when choosing employees to work remotely to reduce negative psychological consequences.

Van Hiele theory is a learning model which presents different kinds of thought that students may experience when facing with Geometric shapes. It includes different levels from visual encounter with geometric shape to formal understanding of geometric proof. The purpose of this research was studying the effect of modern methods of teaching geometry based on Van Hiele theory on the attitude of high school students. The research sample consisted of a class of second year math students and a class of second year natural science students (as an experimental group) and two more second year math and natural science students of the other high school (as a control group) who were selected through random sampling. To make sure of equality of the classes, students’ grades in math 1 and their raw scores in intelligence tests were used as a covariate in Quatrain processing test. The research tools consisted of Raven test for intelligence, students’ math 1 scores, lesson plan developed based on Van Heile theory, and post-descriptive test of Geometry. The results showed that teaching based on Van Heile theory has a positive effect on the attitude of students. Before applying the independent variable, the groups were the same and there was no significant difference between them according to intelligence and math ability. But after the experimental period, there was a significant difference between their geometry grades that could be due to the teaching method. Based on the findings of this study – that instruction based on Van Hiele theory leads to positive attitude of students toward geometry learning, the use of this model was suggested to high school geometry teachers.

This research was conducted with the purpose of studying the simple and interactive relationship between teacher well-being (Positive and negative affect and life and job satisfaction) with the belief in a just world and the student’s violence against teachers in Esfahan, Iran. Population of the study included all male and female teachers, teaching in the high schools in Esfahan in spring 2008.A sample of 240 male and female teachers were selected through multi-stage random sampling. Research instruments were: a 47-item job satisfaction questionnaire, 20-item positive and negative affection scale, 5-item life satisfaction scale,4-item questionnaire on student’s violence against teachers and 7-item questionnaire on the belief in a just world. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and hierarchical regression analysis. The results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the interaction between students’ violence against teachers and just world beliefs had not the predictive power for the prediction of positive affect, job and life satisfaction. But the interaction between students’ violence against teachers and just world belief had the predictive power for the prediction of negative affect. Posterior analysis also showed that only among teachers who were lower in just world beliefs, student’s violence against teachers has the predictive power for the prediction of negative affect.
