Aim: Aim of study was to determine structural model of relationships between psychosocial developments of offspring’s with spiritual intelligence (SQ) and parenting styles of their mothers.
Research method was correlational and statistical population were 29,474 female and male universities students of Alborz province in the 2015-16 academic year. By multi-stage random sampling were selected Teachers’ University, Islamic Azad University of Karaj branch and Agriculture College. Based on the table Krejcie-Morgan (1977) the sample size 400 students was determined. Then psychosocial development questionnaire Hawley (1988) completed by students, and spiritual intelligence questionnaire Abdollahzadeh, Kashmiri and Arab Amely (2008) and parenting styles Baumrind, 1973 completed by their mothers.
Results showed that total path coefficient between latent variable of mom SQ (β=0.416, P=0.001) and its indirect path coefficient (β=0.178, P=0.01) with psychosocial development of their children is positive and significant, also path coefficients of mothers’ permissive parenting style (β=0.206, P=0.003) and maternal authoritative parenting style (β=0.184, P=0.01) with latent variable of psychosocial development of their children is significant and positive. In contrast, the path coefficients of maternal authoritarian parenting style is not significant with their children psychosocial development.
Spiritual intelligence has a significant impact on offspring’s psychosocial development through the mediation of parenting styles both directly and indirectly. On the other hand, based on existing researches it can be increased by education.

academic achievement and the factors influencing it has long been of interest to education professionals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causal relationship between self-perceived competence and classroom environment with academic achievement and with emphasis on the mediating role of progress beliefs and behaviors progress.
In this study, 712 male and female high school student with multistage random sampling from four districts of Education in the city of Karaj was selected. To collect the data, a perception of classroom (Fraser, Fisher and Mac Mini), Pintrich and De Groot‘s Motivational Strategies for Learning and Harter’s perceived competence was used. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Analysis of data showed that the model fit the data is good. As well as direct and indirect effects showed that progress beliefs and progress behaviors play mediating role in relationship between perception of classroom environment and competence belief with academic achievement. In this model all regression weights were statistically significant except indirect effect of beliefs and predictor variables Explained 16% variance of academic achievement.
Results of this study showed that progress beliefs and behaviors, have key role in relationship between perceptions of classroom and competence beliefs with academic achievement. So these structures can be considered in educational planning.

The findings of this study can be concluded, time perspective by providing objectives and programs and optimism causes to worth and self-esteem of the people and subsequently the quality of life gets better.

This study aimed to explore reliability, validity and standardization the Comparative Feeling of Inferiority Index (CFII; Strano & Dixon, 1990) among junior students of Karaj. 641 Iranian junior students in grade 1, 2, and 3 participated in the study (328 girls and 313 boys) completing the CFII, resulted in omitting 3 items due to low correlation and factor loadings.Cronbachʼs alpha for the remaining 27 items for Self-Rating Scale and Family-Rating Scale were 0.799 and 0.751 and test-retest reliability of both scales were 0.845 and 0.707 respectively. Results of explanatory factor analysis showed that the Self-Rating Scale include four factors (1.goals and standards, 2.negative psycho-physical, 3.social and 4.positive psycho-physical) and the Family-Rating Scale include three factors (1.positive psycho-physical, 2.negative psycho-physical and 3.social). The extracted factors confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. A correlation (rS=-0.440, rF=-0.405 , P

Aim: Balloon Analogue Risk Task widely inside and outside the country in various disorders in the form of risk assessment is used for treatment and research, Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the validity and standardization of this test in a sample of Iranian youth.
The present study was correlational study. The study population Beheshti University in the second semester of the school year all students 2013-2014 were considered. Among these individuals, 400 with respect to the criteria for entry and exit, including the lack use of psychiatric drugs and physical illness and informed consent, were selected for sampling. Balloon Analogue Risk Task design was based on Persian culture and language, Risk taking in social situations and anxiety, depression and stress 21 questions were used to collect data. Data using SPSS software version 22 was analyzed.
Data analysis showed that the reliability and concurrent validity of the test is appropriate, gender and marital status had no significant effect on the scores of the test. The Balloon Analogue Risk Task good concurrent validity with the scale of risks in social situations and the scale of anxiety, depression and stress had.
Risk test balloon of good psychometric properties and can be used in clinical and research opportunities.
