The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of spiritual intelligence at work on adaptive performance with mediating role of Occupational Well-being and organizational creativity. The sample consisted of 222 employees of Lorestan Province Gas Company. Fitness of the proposed model and indirect effects was examined through structural equation modeling and bootstrap procedure. Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. The results also indicated that spiritual intelligence directly and with mediating role of Occupational Well-being and organizational creativity had impact on adaptive performance. This research suggests that there need to provide conditions to promote spiritual intelligence, occupational well-being and organizational creativity to increase adaptive performance.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate Computer game's effectiveness in students’ meta-cognitive and creativity. This study was a experimental research, in which 40 high school boys In Ahvaz were selected and were done the pretest. Randomly 20 of them assigned to experimental group and next 20 to control group. The experimental group received 24 session of Computer game programs were implemented in 12 3-sectional weeks. The control group received no treatment. The instruments used for creativity test and Meta cognitive test. The results of analysis of covariance showed playing Computer game positively affects the rate of creativity and Meta cognitive in students. So we can conclude that computer game intervention for 24 sessions could affect the rate of creativity and Meta cognitive in students score.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral self-esteem group therapy on assertiveness, Social anxiety, Shyness, and self-efficacy social anxious high school boys in year 2010–2011.
