The aim of the current research is the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy on anxiety and communication skills of secondary school girls in Pars Abad city. The research method is semi-experimental and of the pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of this research consisted of all secondary school girls of Pars Abad city in the academic year of 1401-402 (961 people). Using Cochran's sampling method, 274 people were selected by multi-stage cluster method. Then Beck's anxiety and communication skills questionnaires of Barton J were distributed among them and the number of 30 people who got the lowest scores of communication skills and the highest scores of anxiety were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups, and the experimental group had 8 sessions of 60 minutes. They were trained in metacognitive therapy. In order to analyze the data, the statistical method of multivariate covariance analysis and SPSS 22 software were used. The findings showed that metacognitive therapy had a significant effect on students' anxiety and communication skills (P<0.05). Therefore, counselors, school psychologists and therapists can use the metacognitive approach to reduce anxiety and improve communication skills for students.

Perceptual-motor interventions are one of the most important interventions that provide the development and better learning process of children. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of perceptual-motor interventions and sensory integration on improving the motor skills of mentally retarded children. In this research, meta-analysis was used as a checklist to measure the impact of research findings and determine the average impact of research. In this research, the statistical community theses and researches published in scientific journals were researches that were carried out during the last decades (1390-1400) in the field of interventions based on the effectiveness of interventions based on cognitive-motor therapy and sensory integration on the motor problems of mentally retarded students, and for this purpose, researches that are in line with the objectives of the research meta-analysis was formed on it. The findings showed that the effect of perceptual-motor interventions improves the motor skills of mentally retarded children by 48%, but this rate is moderate. Considering the significant effects of perceptual-motor interventions and sensory integration, this method can be used as a suitable method to improve the motor skills of these children.

The aim of the current study is to compare short term memory, reading performance and academic achievement of early bilingual and monolingual student and also presenting a well fitted model for interpretation of these interrelationship based on the theoretically recommended model. Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, a battery of reading measures and three elementary courses (Farsi, science, and Math) were used to assess short term memory, reading performance and academic achievement in turn. These tests were administered to 380 (188 ML and 192 BL) male primary student at grade five (12-13 years of age) in Persian. SEM and Analyses of variance (ANOVA) were then performed to determine which construct served as the best predictor of academic achievement in both groups. Based on the results, there is a significant relationship among short term memory, reading performance and academic achievement in both groups. But short term memory was the best predictor for academic achievement. Moreover, the highest significant relationship exists between short term memory and reading comprehension, while direct path coefficient between reading performance and academic achievement was the lowest. Indirect path coefficient between short term memory and academic achievement was not significant in both groups. Furthermore, ANOVA demonstrate that BL yielded significantly higher scores than did ML group in all variables except phoneme deletion and pseudo word reading.The aim of the current study is to compare short term memory, reading performance and academic achievement of early bilingual and monolingual student and also presenting a well fitted model for interpretation of these interrelationship based on the theoretically recommended model.

Unhealthy nutrition has a significant effect on the occurrence of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, various cancers, diabetes, digestive disorders, various bone and joint diseases. Since the root of most bad health behaviors goes back to childhood experiences, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of health education on changing the awareness and nutritional behaviors of elementary school students. The current research is a quasi-experimental study in which the level of nutritional awareness and performance of students was investigated and compared using a three-part questionnaire (demographic characteristics, awareness and performance) and a direct observation checklist. A number of 89 fifth grade elementary students in Qazvin city in 2014 were selected by cluster sampling method to participate in the research in the case group and 87 were selected for the control group. After the implementation of the health education program for the case group, which was designed by two direct methods (in person and face to face with questions and answers) and indirect methods (using pamphlets and other educational materials) and according to the initial needs assessment, the amount The effect of education on students' knowledge and performance was measured. The findings of the research showed that students' awareness increased from 23.61±21 to 30.62±4.96 and their nutritional performance increased from 13.19±7.08 to 19.98±6.63 (/001 0p<). Also, the results of the study showed the positive effect of the health education program on changing the habit of eating breakfast (p<0.05). According to the results of this study and considering the importance and important role of students as the future platform of the country and the low cost of health education activities compared to other activities in this field, it seems necessary to generalize such education programs and expand them.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on self-differentiation and suicidal thoughts in women with suicide attempts. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included all women attempting suicide, referred to the emergency center of Loqman Hospital in Tehran in 1402. The statistical sample included 30 people who were selected as available and then randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group underwent 10 90-minute sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the control group remained on the waiting list. Data collection tools included self-differentiation questionnaire (Skorn and Friedlander, 1998), and suicidal thoughts questionnaire (Beck, 1961). Also, in order to measure validity, content validity was used, and for this purpose, the questionnaire was approved by the relevant experts. The analysis of the information obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires was done through SPSS-v24 software in two descriptive and inferential parts (analysis of covariance). The results showed that cognitive behavioral therapy increased self-differentiation in women with suicide attempts. Also, the results showed that cognitive behavioral therapy reduced suicidal thoughts in women with suicide attempts.
