The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of cognitive schemas activated in sexual context, emotion dysregulation and negative mood in the relationship between sexual inhibition, sexual excitation and female sexual function. This study was conducted with a correlational method and structural equation modeling, respectively. The study sample included 665 females serving in the administrative departments of Tehran and Tabriz universities, who were selected by convenience sampling method. The Questionnaire of Cognitive Schema Activation in Sexual Context,Depression, Anxiety and stress Scales (DASS),Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women, and Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI) were used for data collection. Also, SPSS23 and LISREL8.8 softwares were used for data analysis. Results of SEM showed that sexual inhibition and sexual inhibition, both directly and indirectly (through Sexual Context-activated schemas, emotion dysregulation and negative mood), could affect women's sexual function. Evaluating the theoretical model of the study through the fitness indices revealed that the theoretical model fit the measurement model (CFI = 0.97, NFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.051). Consistent with the dual control model, the results of this study showed that inhibition and sexual excitation affect the female sexual function. In addition, these findings suggest that in addition to the physiological factors, emotion and cognitive factors are similarly significant in defining the sexual function.

The present study investigated the effectiveness of a dialectical storytelling program in improving the questioning skills of elementary school students in Urmia. The study design was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test with a control group .The study population included elementary school students of Urmia city in academic year 2017-2018. Using purposeful sampling, two schools were selected among the schools of Urmia city (one school with a class of 30 students as the experimental group and another school with a class of 30 students as the control group). For the control group  the essay course was taught by the traditional teaching, and the experimental group was taught the same lesson in dialectical story telling. The Multidimensional Nature oF Qu’est Motivation scale was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. Results showed that dialectical storytelling program was effective in improving students questioning. Dialectical storytelling training plays an important role in improving students questioning thinking skills. This teaching method can be used by teachers to develop students’ questioning skills.

The aim of present study was to investigate the relationship between core self-evaluation and academic self-handicapping through mediating of academic emotions.The research was conducted with a correlational method and structural equation modeling.The study population consisted of first year undergraduate students of Shiraz University in the academic year of 2019-2020. Using, multistage cluster sampling 315 subjects were selected.The research instruments were core self-evaluation scale by Judge et al, Pekrun et al academic emotions questionnaire and self-handicapping scale by Schwinger and Stiensmeier-Pelster. Data were analyzed by  structural equation modeling. Results indicated direct effects of core self-evaluation on academic self-handicapping, core self-evaluation on academic emotions and academic emotions on academic self-handicapping (P=0/05). In addition, core self-evaluation predicted academic self-handicapping indirectly and through academic emotions. Consequently, improving self-esteem, self-efficacy and internal locus of control is  central to self-value and provides the basis for experiencing more positive emotions such as hope and pride, which reduces the tendency to use the strategy of academic self-handicapping.
