    Background

    Identifying and enforcing the rulings and judgments on family lawsuits is so significant due to the relationship of many of them with public order and good domestic morality. Judges should regard factors such as the nationality of each of the litigants, their marital relationship, or their parental relationship in dealing with rulings in family litigation, in addition to applying a limited control system; this issue has been challenging in some cases; therefore, it is required to eliminate the ambiguity of the current laws and increase the judgeschr('39') level of awareness on how to deal with such rulings and judgments. Consequently, this study was conducted in order to examine the social and moral requisites of the legal system to enforce family lawsuits.

    Conclusion

    Elements such as citizenship, marital residence, marital and parental relationship, and religion of the litigants play a significant role in identifying and enforcing family rulings in addition to the conditions specified in the Civil Code and laws related to the Civil Judgment Enforcement. Analyzes show that the legislature has caused significant ambiguities in this respect by delegating the enforcement of these rulings to the general enforcement of civil rulings, as well as the requirement for the judiciary to examine conflict resolution rules. Notwithstanding, the Family Protection Law of 2011, has examined only a very small dimension of the identification and implementation of these sentences only for the crime committed by the registrar without the presence of enforceable sentences.

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Kohlberg’s dilemmas teaching methods and induction of positive emotion on emotional expectations and moral decision making of adolescent girls.

    Method

    The research method was quasi-experimental (pre-test and post-test) with a control group. The statistical population was all female students in the first grade of high school (second year) in Yasuj province who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (n=30). The experimental and control groups completed the scenarios of emotional expectations and daily ethical decision-making tasks as pre-test and post-test. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.

    Results

    The data showed that Kohlberg’s hypothetical dilemmas methods and induction of positive emotion in the post-test stage were effective in improving emotional expectations and moral decision making (p <0.001). The results of post hoc test showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention groups (Kohlberg’s hypothetical dilemmas and induction of positive emotion) with the control group (p = 0.001).

    Conclusion

    Kohlberg’s hypothetical dilemmas teaching method and induction of positive emotion are effective on emotional expectations and moral decision making of first grade high school female students.

In qualitative phase and in order to design a model based on grounded theory, a group of experts in banking management and services marketing (including university professors, bank CEOs and banking industry marketing counselors) selected as society and 11 have been selected through snowball sampling and until reaching theoretical saturation. In-depth-interview was research instrument in this phase and data analyzed through coding. In quantitative phase, banking industry customers in Tehran considered as statistical society and 400 of them selected through cluster sampling with equal volume as statistical sample. In quantitative phase also the research instrument was researcher-made and closed questionnaire and path analysis and SPSS and Lisrel used to analyze data.

    Results

    134 primary concepts extracted in this study that 51 ultimate concepts classified in 31 main categories. This results lead to designing failure procedural pattern and reviving services in Iran’s banking industry (based on paradigmatic model structure) and model hypothetical relationships tested and approved in a wide society.

    Background

    The aim of this study was to predict self-efficacy based on professional ethics and development.

    Methodology

    The research was descriptive-correlational with structural equation modeling in terms of method, and applied in purpose. The population included all Isfahan Province Farhangian Universitychr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s student teachers in the academic year 2019-2020, 150 of whom were randomly selected according to the Morgan-Krejcie table (1990). The research instruments were Martin’s teacher self-efficacy (2003), Gregorychr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s professional ethics (1990), and the New Jersey Institute of Professional Standards for Teachers’ professional development (2014) questionnaires, whose reliability according to the Cronbach test was 0.86. For data analysis, the descriptive statistics were analyzed in Spss26 and the structural equations were analyzed in Amos24.

    Results

    Data analysis results showed a professional development and self-efficacy path coefficient of 0.54 and a professional ethics and self-efficacy path coefficient of 0.69 (P<0.05) About 0.76 of the criterion variablechr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s changes (self-efficacy) can be explained with the “professional development” and “professional ethics” independent variables.

    Conclusion

    Therefore, professional ethics and development have a significant correlation with physical education teachers’ self-efficacy, and their professional ethics and development should receive more attention.

    Method

    The present study is qualitative which uses Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) projection method. The statistical population includes customers with 20 year old and higher age range of Iran Airlines that 15 participants involved in this matter selected based on saturation point logic through judgmental sampling. Then, data collected from questionnaires and interviews with semi-structured approach which was done on each sample and the content of data analyzed based on one of the customized models of means-end chain. Thus, key elements and the structures with the most repetition were extracted. Using Atlas T software, a consensus map of customerschr(chr('39')39chr('39')) minds was drawn.

    Results

    4 elements at characteristics level, 13 elements at criteria level, and 14 elements at advantages and finally 3 elements at values level have been identified and they were prioritized for the target population.
