Given the importance of mental health in self-care of patients with type 2 diabetes and the relationship between cognitive flexibility and emotion regulation with mindfulness, the present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness in patients with type 2 diabetes. The present study was conducted using correlation method and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study consisted of all men and women with type 2 diabetes referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. 253 participants were selected using convenience sampling. Participants completed the Garnefski & Kraaij (2006) Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (Baer, Smith & Allen, 2004), and the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (Dennis & Vander Wal, 2010). The results showed a positive overall path coefficient between adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness (P = 0.005, β = 0.243) and a negative overall path coefficient between maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness (P = 0.001, β = -0.453). The path coefficient between cognitive flexibility and mindfulness was positive and significant (P = 0.009, β = 0.273). The indirect path coefficient between adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness was positive (P = 0.007, β = 0.094) and the indirect path coefficient between maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness was negative and significant (P = 0.009, β = -0.117). With an increase in emotion regulation skills, cognitive flexibility and mindfulness also increase in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The importance of academic activities is very high for ninth grade students because of choosing a course and enrolling in 10th grade. Therefore, the aim of this study was determine the effect of academic buoyancy education on academic self-concept and engagement in ninth grade male students. This research in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test with a control group. The research population was the ninth grade male students of Pishva city in the 2022-23 academic years, which 40 people of them were selected with using the available sampling method as a sample and randomly divided into two equal groups. The experimental group received 12 sessions of 70 minutes the academic buoyancy education and the control group remained on the waiting list for training. Data were collected with the questionnaires of academic self-concept (Liu and Wang, 2005) and academic engagement (Reeve and Tseng, 2011) and analyzed by chi-square and multivariate analysis of covariance method in SPSS-19 software. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of both variables of academic self-concept and academic engagement. In other words, academic buoyancy education increased self-concept and engagement in ninth grade male students (P<0.001). The results indicated the effect of academic buoyancy education on improving academic self-concept and engagement. Therefore, to improve the academic performance, including academic self-concept and engagement can be used from academic buoyancy education method along with other effective educational methods.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between hope for life and tendency towards childbearing among successful teacher trainees. The research method was correlational, and a sample of 54 individuals was selected using simple random sampling for the research sample size. The tools used in the present study were the Snyder Hope Scale and the Tendency towards childbearing Questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple variable regression were used for data analysis. The results showed that there was no significant positive correlation between hope for life and tendency towards childbearing among students, and hope for life did not explain changes in tendency towards childbearing.

The present study was conducted with the aim of the impact of Sternberg's three-dimensional intelligence on the level of marital compatibility. The descriptive research method was correlation type. The statistical population of the research was all couples in Tehran in 2022. According to Morgan's table, the research sample was 384 married men and women. The sampling method was chosen voluntarily. Research tools were Graham B. Spanier's Marital Compatibility Questionnaire and Grigorenko and Sternberg's Successful Intelligence Questionnaire. The data analysis method was also determined by regression analysis. The findings of the research showed that three analytical intelligences, creative intelligences, and practical intelligences from Sternberg's point of view can have an impact on the compatibility of couples. Meanwhile, the influence of creative intelligence is greater than other intelligences. It can be concluded that intelligence as an important factor can play an important role in the marital compatibility of couples.

The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on social adaptation, academic self-regulation and cognitive flexibility of students with special learning disorders. The research method was semi-experimental using a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a follow-up stage. The statistical population of the present study was made up of female students with learning disabilities in the first secondary level of Sari city, who referred to learning disorder centers in Sari city. In this research, 60 students with specific learning disabilities were selected by purposive sampling and by sampling method They were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. In order to collect data, Ryan and Connell's academic self-regulation questionnaires, Bell's social adjustment and Dennis and Vanderwaal's cognitive flexibility questionnaires were used. First, the pre-test was conducted on two groups, then the experimental group underwent acceptance and commitment-based therapy for 8 sessions, each stage lasting 120 minutes and once a week. Then, the post-test was performed on both groups. While checking the preconditions, covariance analysis and repeated measurement were used for data analysis under SPSS22 software. The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the scores of quality of life, academic self-discipline, social adaptation, and cognitive flexibility of the two groups after applying therapy based on acceptance and commitment.

Human resource policies, by promoting the values of creativity, cooperation, independence and ambition among employees, create and sustain a suitable infrastructure for the development of new products, technologies, and organizational procedures. The research components in the second phase of the case were investigated. The process of conducting research in the way of data theory processing of the foundation consists of: research questions, note taking and data collection, analysis, theoretical sampling and theoretical saturation, writing and compiling theory and comparing texts. The analysis process starts with open coding and ideally it will end with selective coding. In order to collect the primary components, 50 domestic and foreign articles and book titles were studied with this number of samples. Received a comment After coding and categorizing the components (by 20 experts) using the Kendall coefficient, the reliability of the components was estimated at 88%. In the quantitative phase, the research environment included the teachers of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces and there were 1400 people in the year 2017-2017. Using simple random sampling method, 296 people were estimated as the sample size. In quantitative data analysis including frequency distribution tables and graphs, factor analysis method and covariance based structural equation modeling approach were used in the inferential part. The results showed that the dimensions and components can be classified into 5 main dimensions and 50 components. According to the main loads, the research model has good validity.
