data processing

The present study aimed to compare recognition memory and spatial visualisation based on Peterson mental maze in students with high and low information processing speed. The present study was a causal-comparative approach. The statistical population of the study included male students of Urmia University in the academic year 2015- 16 based on the final distribution of Z-scores (Z ± 25/1) in the Stroop questionnaire. 140 students were selected as samples using random cluster sampling and answered to Wechsler's recognition memory and Peterson's mental maze tests. Obtained data were studied by Box, levene and kolmogorow- smirnov's tests and analysed by using multivariate analysis of variance. The findings of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that the recognition memory mean of the high processing speed group was high compared to the low data processing speed group and their Peterson's mental maze errors were low and conversely. the recognition memory mean of the low processing speed group was low and their Peterson's mental maze errors were high. recognition memory and spatial visualization of the sample group affected by processing speed and Students with high data processing speed enjoy a higher capability in this regard.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of cognitive processing and attribution styles in predicting the quality of life in the students with dysmorphic disorder. The statistical population of this research consists of female students in Ardabil city. The 105 subjects were chosen with multidimensional body-self relations questionnaire and clinical interview. To collect the data, the cognitive process scale, attribution style questionnaire and quality of life questionnaire were used. Correlation coefficient showed a significant correlation between cognitive processing, positive internal-external, stable-unstable and negative global-specific attribution styles with quality of life in the students with dysmorphic disorfers. Also a significant correlation was found between negative internal-external, global-specific and positive global-specific with quality of life. The results of multiple regression analyses showed cognitive processing and attribution styles predict 20.3% changed variance of quality of lifing the students with dysmorphic. This result showed cognitive process and attribution styles have role in quality of life of in the students with dysmorphic.
