The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of communication skills training of mothers on social adjustment, aggression and academic achievement of their children. The sample included 50 mothers of high school students in Tehran who were selected by cluster sampling and randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The communication skills training of mothers consisted of 10 sessions (one session per week, each session lasting 3 hours), based on cognitive behavioral approach. Students were assessed through the use of social adjustment scale and the aggression questionnaire as pre- and post-tests. Also their GPA (Grade Point Average) in the first and second semester were recorded for assessing their academic achievement. The Data was analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance. The results indicated the significant difference of the three variables. So we can say that communication skills training for mothers improved social adjustment and academic achievement of children and decreased their aggression. It is suggested that schools consider the importance of communication skills training and its effectiveness on both parents and students.

There is no text without a message. A number of text messages are overt, others are hidden and a number of texts have both overt and hidden messages. Text readers analyze a text consciously or unconsciously to understand its message. The reading of a text has three modes. The criteria are the authors themselves, the text, and the reader. Content analysis leads the reader to decoding of the text. Psychoanalysis, linguistics, hermeneutics, sociology, art or sociology of literature, and sociology of language, are different approaches to text analysis which consider different signs for textual analysis.

The present study aimed to examine the role of parents and peer’s attachment, and psychological self-alienation in predicting vandalistic behaviors in high school students. 320applicants (176 females and 144 males) were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling in the third grade of high school. The Psychological Self-alienation Questionnaire (Seeman, 1959), Vandalistic Behaviors Questionnaire and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987) were employed. The analyses of the data indicated that dimensions of psychological self-alienation, attachment quality and vandalistic behaviors were significantly related. Also, stepwise regression represented that psychological self-alienation and attachment quality could successfully predict vandalistic behaviors in adolescents. It can be concluded that psychological self-alienation and attachment quality to parents and peers would play a crucial role in examining adolescents’ vandalistic behaviors. So the emphasis on creating an atmosphere of sentiment, confidence, affection, and intimacy is very crucial in the process of growth and maturation of student’s. It is an essential step for both the parent’s and the school headmasters.

Knowledge of one’s identity is an important issue in the world of today. Therefore, determining factors which are effective on developing personal identity is essential. The present research aimed at investigating the relationship between the main components of spiritual intelligence and personal identity and the role of these components in identity formation. The sample included 381 (133 males and 248 females) university students (18-25 years old) in public universities in Tehran who were selected through multilevel random sampling. Two questionnaires of spiritual intelligence and personal identity were used to collect the data. The collected data was then analyzed using correlation coefficiency, multiple regression, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. The results indicated positive significant relationship between components of spiritual intelligence and personal identity. Based on the findings of the study, spiritual intelligence can predict 19.2 % of variance in personal identity variable. Therefore,spiritual intelligence has a significant role in predicting stable identity. The results showed no significant difference in boys and girls in terms of their spiritual intelligence. However, there was a significant difference in their personal identity, in a way that, girls showed a more developed personal identity than boys.

This study aimed at determining the effect of four-component instructional design model on the extent of extraneous cognitive load and problem-solving skills in physics course. The study was quasi-experimental using pre-test, and post-test with experimental and control groups. The population of the study included all first-grade high-school male students of the 5th region in Tehran during 92-93 school year. The sample of the study was selected using multi-level clustered random sampling and included 30 students who were randomly placed in an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The experimental group underwent a treatment (instructional design of the physics course based on the four-component model) and the control group was instructed using the traditional method. One instrument for gathering the data was Pass (1992) 9- rating scale, the face validity of which was judged by the experts and professors and its reliability was examined using Test-Retest method and turned out to be 0.85. The other instrument was a researcher-made problem-solving skills test. The face validity of the test was judged by expert views and test-retest method showed the reliability of the test as 0.79. An independent t­-test (for determining extraneous cognitive load) and ANCOVA (for a problem-solving skills test) were used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicated that four-component instructional design model had a significant effect on decreasing extraneous cognitive load in the experimental group in comparison with the control group (p>.00). Also, the results showed a significant increase in the extent of problem solving skills for the experimental group in comparison with the control group (Partial Eta Squared = 0.14, F = 4.34, p

Thus post- structuralism cannot be compatible with the authority of common and pervasive moral doctrines. While Islamic viewpoint to morality emphasizes on common existential dimensions of human being and on similarities rather than differences, therefore from this viewpoint, admission the authority of some moral doctrines is necessary. It seems to deny authority from moral education has unfavorable outcomes like the expansion of individual, relativistic and pluralistic attitudes in morality domain and extension undecidabilty and uncertainty to promote constant incredulity that makes moral education possibility unsteady. This paper is based on explanation the main by Islamic external critique of post structural moral education.
