Teacher-student relationship is a complex and dynamic transaction which is formed over time and under multiple circumstances; it figures out the student’s developmental changes on a platform based on related factors. Accordingly, this research attempts to investigate the quality of the teacher-student relationship in elementary school through the field study of the main parties, the teacher and the student, in the context of school, and it interprets this relational pattern and its causes and effective factors. In order to comprehend the semantic system that the student and the teacher express in their behavior and perceptional communication, the Ethnography method is used.This research was conducted in two phases during two academic years. In the first (main) phase, based on a random sampling, a government primary school in two parts for girls and boys was selected as the research field and the researcher joined it for one semester. In the second phase (validation and deepening of concepts), 99 students, 19 teachers and 13 classes from six public elementary schools in Shiraz were involved in the implementation of this research. Semi-structured and unstructured interviews and semi-participant observation were used to collect data.Qualitative data analysis makes it possible to explain the teacher-student communication pattern in four layers of , teacher-student interaction routs, teacher-student features, the teacher-student mental-representation from each other, and external factors.The improvement of this relational context and the proceedings leading to it, can result in achieving positive numerous developmental consequences for students and teachers.

The present study aimed to describe and compare the flourishing profile of gifted male and female high school students (13-15 years old) based on Seligman’s PERMA model. This was applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive-comparative study based on research method. The statistical population of the present study consisted of the gifted male and female high school students in the Tabriz province in the academic year of 2009-2010. 592 students (226 male students and 366 female students) were selected by cluster random sampling method from this province’s gifted high school students. Respondents completed the PERMA-Profiler (Butler and Kern, 2016), designed to assess the five components of the PERMA model. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed that there is a positive and significant difference in favor of girls in positive emotions and positive relationships and a significant difference in favor of boys in meaning and achievement. However, there was no significant difference in engagement between male and female students. Also, despite the differences between male and female students in different dimensions of flourishing, their total flourishing scores did not differ significantly. The findings can help teachers and counselors in identifying groups with specific strengths and weaknesses and performing interventions to promote prosperity in educational settings.Introduction Educational systems pay special attention to the gifted students and having a picture of their health and wellbeing is important to them because wellbeing is considered a necessary condition for achieving the highest personal and professional development. There is a long history of interest in how giftedness affects psychological wellbeing. A review of research findings shows that although there is interest in the well-being of gifted students, our knowledge of the subject is still insufficient despite conflicting findings (Neihart, 1999). Gender differences in gifted student wellbeing is also a subject that has not been well addressed in previous research. On the other hand, in recent years, researchers in the field of wellbeing and mental health have focused on the concept of "flourishing". Different conceptualizations of flourishing have been proposed. Seligman’s (2011) PERMA model is among the important conceptualizations in this area.  This model advocate that flourishing arises from five well-being pillars (positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment). Kern, Waters, Alder, and White (2014) argue that this model is an appropriate framework in educational settings to identify groups with specific strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, the present study intends to describe and compare the flourishing profile of gifted male and female high school students (13-15 years old) based on Seligman’s PERMA model.MethodThis was applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive-comparative study based on research method. The statistical population of the present study consisted of the gifted male and female high school students in the Tabriz province in the academic year of 2009-2010. 592 students (226 male students and 366 female students) were selected by cluster random sampling method from this province’s gifted high school students. Respondents completed the PERMA-Profiler (Butler and Kern, 2016), designed to assess the five components of the PERMA model. Butler and Kern (2016) developed this scale through extensive theoretical and empirical research based on five components of Seligman’s Model of Flourishing (2011). The scale consisted of 15 items (three items for each component). The measures of multiple dimensions of wellbeing can be mentioned as the outstanding feature of the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed in the present study and the fitness indices were obtained as x2/df = 1.81, RMSEA = 0.05, GFI = 0.90, and NFI = 0.94, which were in an acceptable range and the five-factor structure was confirmed. Cronbach’s alphas of the entire scale and subscales of positive emotions, engagement, positive relations, meaning and, achievement were reported at 0.96, 0.96, 0.70, 0.84, 0.93, and 0.82 respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS and multivariate analysis of variance.FindingIn the present study, participants consisted of 226 male and 366 female gifted students (M= 13/83, SD= 0/89). After the assumptions of multivariate analysis of variance are met, the results of the Pillay test (F (5,294) = 22/715, Value= 0/721) indicated that this test is significant at the level of p<0.01. Results of paired comparison (Table1) show that there is a positive and significant difference in favor of girls in positive emotions and positive relationships and a significant difference in favor of boys in meaning and achievement. However, there was no significant difference in engagement between male and female students.Also, based on a one-way analysis of variance ((F (1,298) = 0/061, Value= 22/374) despite the differences between male and female students in different dimensions of flourishing, their total flourishing scores did not differ significantly (Figure1).Discussion and ResultsThe present study aimed to describe and compare the flourishing profile of gifted male and female high school students based on Seligman’s PERMA model. The results showed that there is a positive and significant difference in favor of girls in positive emotions and positive relationships and a significant difference in favor of boys in meaning and achievement. However, there was no significant difference in engagement between male and female students. Also, despite the differences between male and female students in different dimensions of flourishing, their total flourishing scores did not differ significantly. The findings of this study can help teachers and counselors in identifying groups with specific strengths and weaknesses and performing interventions to promote prosperity in educational settings. The statistical population of the present study is limited to the gifted students and the generalization of the results to non-gifted students and other developmental stages should be done with caution.

Dyslexia is a special learning disorder that specified by unexpected difficulties in words distinguishing, Reading fluency, spelling and decoding. Research evidence display that almost 80% of student who are distinguishing as learning disability, First, there are defects in reading skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of reading Instruction based on working memory multi-component architecture in 4 students with specific learning disorder in reading in an AB design. Intervention was presented in 20 sessions and data were analyzed using visual analysis and effect size index by R software. The disintegration analysis of all pairs (NAP), reflected a significant increase in the reading performance of the 4 participant than to the base line item. Findings of this initial and pioneer study seem promising to provide a multicomponent approach to treatment of multi-component deficits in specific learning disorders.

The present study has investigated the frequency of flourishing in gifted students based on four flourishing models. It was a descriptive-comparative study. The sample consisted of 592 male (226) and female (366) high school students (age group 13-15 years) of Tabriz in the academic year of 2018-2019. Participants were selected by cluster sampling method and completed four different flourishing scales. Data were analyzed through cross-tabulation analysis, McNemar test, Cochran's Q test, and Chi-square test. The Results showed significant differences in the flourishing rate based on the flourishing models: 53.3% (based on the Huppert and So model), 63.1% (based on the Diner et al. model), 68.4% (based on the Keys model), and 72/5% (based on the Seligman model). Moreover, the results showed a difference in the prevalence rate of flourishing among male and female students, which favored male students. Results of the cross-tabulation analysis indicated strong agreement between Butler and Kern Scales and Keys (91.6%), Diner et al. and Huppert and So (86%), Butler and Kern and Huppert and So (80/2%), Huppert and So and Diner et al. (80%) and Huppert and So and Keys (79%). On the other hand, the agreement between the Diner et al. scale and Keys (70%) and Diner et al. and Butler and Kern (72%) was moderate. Results indicated that the diagnosis of flourishing depends greatly on the scale used and the combination of different components.

The purpose of this study was to develop a mindfulness training package and to explore its effectiveness on the wellbeing of Afghan adolescents living in Iran.

The data quantitative and qualitative data were collected using the mixed method data collection. Ryff's Psychological Wellbeing Scale (1989) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) were used in this study. The results of the co-variance analyses indicated that mindfulness training had a significant effect on the wellbeing of participants.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of phoneme-based working memory educational program on enhancing reading ability of dyslexic students. The research method was Quasi-experimental with control group and random assignments, using pre-test, post-test, and fallow-up stages. The statistical population of the study consists of all the students with reading disability in primary schools in Tehran. Among them, 30 students with dyslexia were selected by available sampling method from leading disorders centers and randomly assigned in experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in 24 educational sessions of working memory on phonological stimuli in auditory and visual dimensions. Reading and Dyslexia Test (Kormi-Nouri and Moradi, 2008) were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using the multi-variable variance analysis with repeated measures. Findings showed that the phoneme based working memory educational program significantly improved the reading ability of dyslexic students in all three components of reading accuracy, reading fluency and reading comprehension. These findings were also stable in a two-month follow-up. Therefore, it can be concluded that phoneme based working memory education, can improve the reading ability of dyslexic children.

The present study aimed to qualitatively analyze family experiences of psychiatric veterans. Research method of this research was qualitative method with phenomenological descriptive approach. For this purpose, 16 Psychiatric veterans were selected through purposive sampling and were interviwed by semi-structured interview. Sampling continued until data saturation. The data were analyzed using 7 stage Colaizzi method. The data analysis resulted in 3 main themes, 8 subthemes and 42 initial concepts. As the fisrt theme, “changes in the family framework” consisted of (1- changes in process of family life, 2- relative changes of power position, 3- occupational changes). The second main theme was “family relationships” consisted of (1- relationship with wife, 2- relationship with child) and the third theme was “adaptation” consisted of (1- psychologic interventions, 2- personal intervention, 3- family suppport). Rusults showed that psychiatric veterans experience a great deal of vulnerability in different fields because of their special situations. And the necessity of more awareness among relevant organizations, the more support of them and their families, and the formulation of more counseling, psychological and caring programs are felt.

The goal of this research was to determine the effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioral educational program based on body image for sexual satisfaction and functioning for married female university students. The research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest, posttest, and control group. The statistical population of the study included all married female students studying in the faculties of humanities (i.e., Faculties of Psychology and Tributary Sciences; Social Sciences; and Economics) that according to the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), were dissatisfied with their body image. Among these students, 30 of whom getting scores lower than the average on Larson's sexual satisfaction questionnaire (LSSQ) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were selected (15 subjects were assigned to the experimental group, and 15 subjects were assigned to the control group) to participate in the Cognitive-Behavioral Educational Program. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that after receiving intervention, a significant difference (P<0/001) was found between the experimental and control groups in the rate of increase in sexual satisfaction and functioning. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the cognitive-behavioral educational program based on body image and modification of negative body image can be used to increase sexual satisfaction and functioning in married female students who are dissatisfied with their body image.

The statistical population included all women with the infidelity trauma who were separated from their husbands and referred to counseling clinics and family courts in Tehran in 2017. Thirty couples were selected via the purposive and available sampling method based on the study’s criteria. Then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, fifteen people in each group, and finally were investigated through dual assessment of pretest-posttest. All participants were asked to complete the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire by Gross & John, 2003. Following the experimental group attended eight sessions of ninety-minute acceptance and commitment group counseling while the control group received non.

The results of the univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) indicated that acceptance and commitment group counseling significantly increased the post-test average scores of emotion regulation in the experimental group. 

Thus, it could be concluded that acceptance and commitment group counseling is an effective way of improving emotion regulation in women with the infidelity trauma and can be used by counselors and therapists in the field of family therapy.

For this purpose, 120 subjects (30 teachers, 30 students, 30 parents and 30 counselors) were selected randomly cluster from Tehran. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview, which was compiled and implemented for four groups in different indicator. In order to analyze the data obtained from the interview; a theoretical coding method was used which in this study included open coding based on the extracted categories from the study of research theoretical bases, axial coding and selective coding. The results of the interviews showed that the factors affecting the formation of resilient school were identified in three groups of factors focused on different elements of the school, the individual and the family. Investigating related research also showed that mainly two categories of internal and external protection factors were involved in studying the factors affecting the formation of resilient school. The most important factors of the school were the effective relationship teacher- students, physical space, appropriate psychosocial atmosphere and social support.

Working memory has a important role in the academic performance of the students with reading disability. However educational researchers have reported different results in the effectiveness of existing programs. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of working memory educational program on enhancing working memory performance of dyslexic students. This education considered both auditory and visual dimension. This study was Quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and fallow-up. The statistical population was all the primary school students with dyslexia who went to learning disorders centers in Tehran, 30 of them were selected by convenience sampling and were assigned by random in experimental and control groups. The experimental group experienced the working memory educational program in 24 sessions, 25 to 30minutes. Working Memory Test Battery for Children (Gathercole & Pickering, 2001) was taken before and after education and also two months after finishing the program it was taken for both experimental and control group. Multi-variable variance analysis with repeated measures were used for data analyzing. Results showed significant differences between experimental and control group in post-test and also stability of these differences in follow-up test. In conclusion effectiveness of working memory educational program for dyslexic children is determined in enhancing their ability of auditory and visual working memory.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of attributional retraining on mental health of children of divorced parents. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre-test post-test and control group. The population included male children of divorced parents who studied in middle schools in Sari (2016). The sample comprised of 34 individuals who were selected through convenience sampling method, and assigned into two groups of 17 (experimental and control groups). Both groups completed General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Then, the experimental group received attributional retraining educational package for 11 sessions of 45-minutes. After the intervention, both groups were assessed once more. The data were analysed through multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings demonstrated that attributional retraining significantly improves all components of mental health (psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety, social functioning problems, and depression symptoms) in the experimental group members.

The present research was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of training of emotionally-focused ap-proach on couple burnout and tendency for divorce in couples. The population included all the couples who visited the Health House because of marital problem and conflict and lack of intimacy in their relationships. In the present research, by using avail-able sampling method, 20 couples were selected who had the highest scores in the research questionnaire, and their assigned into two groups experiment and control (10 couples per group). Data gathering tools in the present research were Pains Couple Burnout Measure (1996) and the Divorce Tendency Scale of Roswelt, Jonson &, Moro (DTS) (1986), which were completed by the participations of both groups before and after the intervention. The results of the multivar-iate covariance analysis suggested that the training of emotionally-focused approach has led to significant decrease in couple burnout and two components of emotional exhaustion and mental fatigue in couples of the experiment group, but it has not been effective on reducing physical fatigue of the couples. Other results indicated that tendency to divorce in couples of the experiment group has had significant reduction compared to the control group. According to the find-ings of the present research, it can be concluded that training of the emotionally-focused approach has been able to be effective on reducing couple burnout and tendency to divorce in couples. Counselors and family therapists can use the findings of the present research for their clinical and therapeutic interventions.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between death anxiety and general health. The method of this study was descriptive and in the framework of correlation of study of the path analysis. The population was all adolescents aged 14 to 18 year olds living in Iraqi-ISIS war refugee camps located in the Dibegh Erbil district of Kurdistan, Iraq in 2017, (520, N) and were selected by simple random sampling and 219 adolescents were selected. The participants responded to the Death Anxiety Scale (Templer, 1970), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) (Goldberg and Hiller, 1979), and Resilience Scale (Connor and Davidson 1979-1991). The data was analysed through a path analysis correlation. Results confirmed the negative relationship between EA and resilience, showing the favorable fit of the pattern of the relationship between death anxiety and general health anxiety and the mediating role of resilience among them. According to the results, due to resilience, death anxiety of adolescents affected by war can be reduced and steps can be taken in improving their general health.

The present study aims at investigating psychometric properties of Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) among a sample of senior high school students and to determine its role in predicting their academic achievement. To this end 527 senior high school students in Karaj (city in Alborz Province) during the school year 2015-2016, were chosen using stratified proportional sampling and completed a questionnaire which consists of Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) and futurist present subscale. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that the structure of Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) after varimax rotation was clearly indicated the existence of four independent factors that is almost consistent with Husman and Shell (2008) classification of the items but second-order confirmatory factor analysis showed insignificant factorial load of extension component on future time perspective construct. Therefore, we can conclude that future time perspective of Iranian students only consist of three components: connection, value and speed. The results indicated acceptable reliability of FTPS. Regression analysis showed that these three factors significantly predict student's academic achievement.

This study investigated the effectiveness of group therapy based on acceptance and commitment (ACT) compared with cognitive-behavior therapy on decreasing anxiety and increasing acceptance of mothers of autistic children. This study was quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with control group. The experimental groups were consisted of two groups based on acceptance and commitment group therapy (ACT) and cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT) respectively. Both groups were received ten sessions treatment. 12 people were employed in the control group who were not treated. In order to evaluate the level of anxiety and acceptance, two questionnaires were used: Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II). Comparing treatment groups showed that between the effectiveness of group therapy based on acceptance and commitment with cognitive behavioral therapy on reducing maternal anxiety and promoting acceptance was not significantly different. However, the impact of group therapy based on acceptance and commitment in pre-test and follow-up was more than cognitive behavior therapy. Therefore, the current research and ACT provide empirical support for mothers with ASD children.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of triarchic instruction method to improve reading skills in dyslexic students. In order to achieve the goal of the study, 12 second to fifth grade students were selected among children visiting Atieh and Ravanmehr therapeutic centers in Tehran city who were diagnosed with dyslexia. The diagnosis criteria were Woodcock- Johnson Reading Test, Integrated Visual and Auditory Test (IVA) and diagnostic interview. Students were assigned to experimental and control group randomly.The experimental group passed sixteen 1.5 hour sessions for ten weeks learning to read through the method suggested by Sternberg. Significant improvement in all three reading subtests (fluency¡ phonology¡ and knowledge and information) of post test showed. The follow up test conducted three months later also indicated that the experimental group had an increase in the scores of reading.

Since Frankl (1985) has introduced the role of meaning in life in mental health, some psychologists tried to operationalize this concept and study in this field (Crumbaugh and Maholic, 1964; Batista & Almond, 1973; Steger et al., 2006). By development of new instrument in the domain of life's meaning by Schnell (2009), the wider investigation of mental health and meaning in life has been provided. The present study aims at determining the relationship between four sources of life including life meaningfulness, the crisis of life's significance, spirituality, and religiosity and indices of mental health. Therefore, a sample comprising 126 participants (53= female; 73= male) among the students of University of Tehran carried out the questionnaire for investigating the sources of life's meaning (SoMe) and a brief form for the scale of depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21). The results were analyzed by Pearson Correlation. Among the variables of life's meaning, the crisis of life's meaning showed the highest positive correlation with depression (r = 0.62, p 0.01) and stress (r = 0.39, p 0.01). Also, the life meaningfulness showed the highest negative relationship with depression (r = -0.52, p 0.01) and stress (r = - 0.34, p 0.01). In conclusion, considering the meaning of life as an important associate of mental health seems essential in order to decrease the depression and stress, and improving the general health of society.

Due to the effect of culture on the formation of time attitude, it is very important to examine the components of time attitude in Iran with its certain cultural-social conditions. Therefore, this investigation attempts to study time and time attitude conceptualization from the perspective of adolescents with a qualitative method, interview with focus group, and grounded theory approach. Participants in this study was 45 adolescents (23 boys and 22 girls) aging 15 to 17 years old with the average age of 16.20. Three focus groups were composed in male students school, and three focus groups were constituted in female students schools. Their responses regarding their perception of time were categorized in four categories of ‘hours’, ‘pressure and limitation’, ‘mental construct’, and ‘time as a metaphor’. The results of open and axial coding for past, present and future shows that this period of life in Iranian adolescents contains eight categories of positive future, negative future, hedonist present, negative present, futurist present, positive past, negative past, and past acceptance. Comparing with other findings, in general, time attitude is cultural based and cultural-social conditions affect time attitude adolescents’.

Present study was done to investigate hope in view of single-parent students (children of divorce). Method of this study was in qualitative approach and was conducted as a phenomenological study. Participants included 16 single-parent girl students of a primary school in Chahardange City whom were selected through purposive sampling method. The data was collected using a standardized open-ended interview. The collected data was then analyzed through interpretive analysis in approach of Strauss and Glaser.
For hope and school, single parent children have many educational problems due to familial issues occurred following parent's divorce. So they have involved in school drop-out and many of them lost their motivation for educational achievements and continuing. For hope and family, single parent children are confused in defining family and their family definition is different from what they experience in reality. They miss the parent with whom they do not live and show their appetite to be near their absent parent. Most of them deny there is nothing between their parents because their parents divorced. They imagine reunion desire of their parents in their mind. Some feel hopeless if they family members be together again and live in a home together. In this study, Most of divorced parent's children expressed they are not able to communicate with their friends because of their special conditions.

The purpose of the current study to examine the effect of group based reality therapy was on choice theory on increasing of social adjustment and self- regulation in adolescents. Samples were 24 students 14-18 old, that obtained low scores in California Personality Inventory(CPI) and Self- Regulation Questionnaire(SRQ), and selected and devise to experimental and control groups by random sampling procedure. The experimental group participated in 8 sessions group reality therapy and each session lasted about 90 minutes, but the control group did not participate in there sessions. The data analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance method, and showed that there were a significant difference between means in experimental and control groups. The results of this research showed that reality therapy group as an education and treatment can be effective in increasing social adjustment and self- regulation.
