This study aimed to develop psychometric indicators of Reading Strategies Scale among elementary school students in Shiraz in the academic year of 98-97. For this purpose, 573 male and female students were selected by multistage cluster sampling method and answered the questionnaires. Questionnaire of 66 questions including cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational beliefs. Reliability of the scale was assessed by Cronbach's alpha of 0.88, split-half of 0.86 and retest of 0.87, respectively. The results indicated that the scale was reliable and the reliability of the scale was validated. The results showed that there were three strong significant factors with a specific value higher than one on this scale. For concurrent validity of the questionnaire, reading strategies were used to calculate the correlation coefficient between this questionnaire and the Joyce, Reading Rating, Math and Dictation Questionnaire. Also, there was a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of Reading Strategies Scale and Joyce Reading Strategies Scale, Reading Rating, Spelling and Mathematical Rating Scale. Overall, the results showed that Reading Strategies Scale among elementary school students in Shiraz was a suitable tool for Research measures.

The aim of the present study was to investigate mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between the alexithymia, pain perception and perceived social support in patients with chronic pain. The present study is a descriptive-correlation research. The statistical population included all of the 20 to 60 year-old women with chronic pain in Shiraz who had referred to the treatment centers during the first six months of 2018. Out of the study population, 160 individuals were selected as the study sample based on convenience method. The instruments used in the present study were: 1.cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, 2.Toronto alexithymia scale, 3.McGill pain questionnaire and 4.perceived social support scale. To perform the goodness of fit test on the proposed model, path analysis method based on AMOS software was utilized. The results indicated that the cognitive emotion regulation strategies do not play a mediating role between alexithymia and pain perception but they significantly mediate the relationship between alexithymia and perceived social support. It can be generally stated that cognitive emotion regulation strategies can play a mediating role between alexithymia and perceived social support.

The aim of this study was to compare the initial maladaptive schemas, metacognitive beliefs and source of control in schizophrenic and bipolar patients. The statistical population of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder type 1 admitted to Ibn Sina Hospital in Shiraz between 2017 - 2018 and the statistical sample of two groups of 30 people were a total of 60 men with type 1 bipolar disorder (30 people) and schizophrenia. They were purposefully selected. Instruments used were Young Young Form cognitive maladaptive schemas (75 questions) (2007), Wales Metacognitive Beliefs Questionnaire (MCQ-30) (1997), Rutter Form 29-item Internal-External Control Scale (1996), SPSS-26 software and method Use was also univariate and multivariate analysis of variance. Regarding the initial maladaptive schemas, the results showed that only 4 schemas of failure, dependence / inadequacy, self-sacrifice and entitlement were different in the two groups. The other (self-sacrifice and merit) has been in favor of the group with type 1 bipolar disorder. Regarding metacognitive beliefs, only the metacognitive processes of cognitive self-awareness in the two groups had a significant difference, and this difference was in favor of the group with type 1 bipolar disorder. Regarding the control source variable, the findings showed that the two groups had a significant difference in favor of the group with schizophrenia.

Perception of competence in children is defined as self-worth in important areas of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) Harter children's self-perception profile.

This research was a descriptive-analytic study of type validation. The sample consisted of 400 students (200 girls and 200 boys) who were selected by accident sampling method and completed the Harter children's self-perception profile, Coopersmith's self-esteem questionnaire, and the kinship center attachment questionnaire.

The findings of exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors that in total 73/20% of the total variance of the scale were explained. The results of confirmatory factor analysis, in addition to verifying the results of exploratory factor analysis, showed that these three factors are responsible for the overall factor of competence perception. The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained by Cranach’s alpha (0/89) and by the test-retest method (0/88). Also, there was a significant positive correlation between factors of this scale with self-esteem and secure attachment style of positive adaptive evolution Harter children's self-perception profile factors with insecure attachment styles, emotional response, negative behaviors and avoid verbal divergence of the scale confirmed.

The results of the study showed the Harter children's self-perception profile has good psychometric properties for measuring children's self-concept. Keywords: self-concept, competency perception, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, divergent narrative, children

The purpose of this study was to construct and validate the value system questionnaire of the faculty members of Azad University. This research was applied in terms of purpose, applied and in a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) way, which is exploratory sequentially, inductive method and instrumentation and validation type. In the qualitative section, the statistical population was the faculty members of the Islamic Azad University. Targeted sampling method was selected by criterion type (expertise and experience) and in terms of data saturation, based on snowball method. A semi-organized interview tool was used to gather information. The data were analyzed by King and Bernard's method of thematic analysis. Then, using Delphi technique and forming a specialized group of 30 experts, the classification was approved. In a preliminary study of 50 faculty members, the components whose operating load was estimated to be less than 0.50 were removed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.90, which confirmed the reliability of the questionnaire. The 68-item questionnaire was developed based on the results of the qualitative model. In the quantitative section, 300 faculty members of the Azad University of Fars Province were selected in accordance with the principles of Klein in a class-based manner appropriate to the sample size. The convergence validity and combined reliability validation indicators of the value system dimensions measurement tools were reported to be above 0.50 and 0.80, respectively. Estimation of the factor load values of each dimension was significant at the level of 0.001 and the measuring instrument enjoyed the necessary factor validity.

Regarding the sensitivity of adolescence and the possibility of high-risk behaviors during this period, the present study aimed to determine the group membership model with discriminant analysis for students with high risk behaviors based on family indicators in high school students In this research a correlation design is used to separate groups and the relationship between variables is analyzed based on the purpose of the research. The statistical population of the study consisted of all male and female high school students studying in Shiraz schools in the school year of 97-98.The research subjects consisted of 106 students:35 boys and 18 girls with high-risk behaviors and (35 boys and 18 girls) matched with the first group. Research and data gathering tools, Iranian Adolescent Risk Behaviors Scale (IARS), Zuckerman sensation seeking Scale, Garnefsky Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Bumrind Parenting Styles Scale, Sixbey Family Resilience Assessment Scale, Luthans Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Sohrabi Lifestyle Scale. For statistical analysis, pure or discriminant analysis method was used. The results showed that the differential analysis equation has the ability to discriminate ordinary students from high-risk students based on family variables ( parenting styles, Family resilience and lifestyle).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of mindfulness parenting scale about Shiraz parents. In order to estimate the psychometric indices of the questionnaire, 300 parents with children aged 2 to 16 years old were selected in the city of Shiraz, and a mindfulness parenting scale was implemented. In order to investigate the construct validity, exploratory factor analysis method was used by main component analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The sampling rate was 0.89 and the significance of the Bartlett Curve test indicated favorable conditions for performing factor analysis. According to the findings, the conscious mindfulness parenting scale consisted of two factors: 53.57% of total variance. Also, the significance of fitness indicators in confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor model extracted from exploratory factor analysis. Also, a significant correlation between the total score of the scale and the subscales of the mindfulness scale (p<0.001) indicated the convergence validity of the scale. Data analysis showed that the internal consistency of the whole scale was 0.95 on the basis of Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the validity coefficient of the test was analyzed by SPSS for the whole scale and its two subscales were statistically significant (p<0.001). Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the mindfulness parenting scale has an appropriate validity and reliability for measuring the mindfulness parenting in Iranian society.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent psychiatric diagnosis. These children have many problems in different aspects of their life. The aim of present study was to determine the effectiveness of Mentalization-Based Treatment for children (MBT-C) on improvement of the quality of life among school-aged children 6 to 12 with ADHD. A Sample consisting of 60 children with diagnosis of ADHD was selected and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. This experimental study was carried out in mixed method with three groups of interventions including MBT-C, pharmacotherapy with Methylphenidate and combination intervention. Each child participated in 12 to 36 separate sessions of interventions. The results indicated important improvements in all aspects of children's quality of life through MBT-C, especially in combination with methylphenidate. Therefore, this kind of intervention through the capacity of mentalizing in children and their parents can improve the quality of life especially affective functions and emotional regulation.

Career management is a process by which employees design and evaluate their own career plans. This article examines the Career Anchors Inventory (CSI) psychometric properties among the manager of Iran Transmission Gas Company.

The sample includes 505 managers who were conveniently selected from ten districts of the Iran Transmission Gas Company and answered Schein career anchors inventory. The CSI has been designed by Edgar Schein and concludes 48 items. Answers to these items then can lead to determination of the anchors which are originally classified into 8 categories: Autonomy and independence, pure challenge, entrepreneurship and creativity, general managerial competence, lifestyle, security and stability, service and dedication and technical/functional competence.

After collecting data, LISREL was used to statistically fit the measurement model. The model fitted well with the data. Cronbach alpha calculated for the whole scale and Guttmann reliability coefficient for the inventory were 0.89 and 0.85. Testing questionnaire’s reliability using these two coefficients testified stability and reliability. Results (Discussion): The Farsi version of the CSI has sufficient validity and reliability too and can be used to demonstrate a satisfactory image of an individual’s career orientations.
