Quality of life is one of the most basic concepts in Positive Psychology. The aim of present study was examining the prediction of quality of life dimensions, including Physical health, psychological health, social relationship and perception of life environment by family communication patterns dimensions, including conversation and conformity. The sample of the study consisted of 435 students – girls (215) and boys (220)- selected by cluster random sampling from different high schools of Shiraz city. Short version of World Health Organization Quality Of Life (WHOQOL) scale and revised version of Koerner-Fitzpatrick Family Communication Patterns scale were administered to the subjects. The results showed acceptable reliability (Cronbach alpha coefficient) and validity (Item-total correlation) of the instruments. By using simultaneous (enter) multiple regression analysis, the quality of life dimensions were predicted by conversation and conformity dimensions of family communication patterns. Results showed that conversation orientation was a positive predictor, and conformity orientation was a negative predictor of all dimensions of quality of life, including Physical health, psychological health, social relationships and perception of life environment. Family conversations would have increased the children quality of life whereas emphasis on conformity would have decreased the children quality of life.

Within the field of education, there is a subfield called "curriculum". Curriculum as a field of study, theoretically speaking, had been one of the most challenging and uncertain fields of study among different branches of human knowledge. One of these discussions resulting in some debates amongst the scholars of this field is the curriculum ideologies or normative curriculum theories. The topic of curriculum ideologies is one of the fundamental and debatable topics in curriculum. A glance on the literature of the past decades considering the subject shows that it has seriously concerned, so that there are considerable literature on it. Miller and Eisner are two famous authors who have written worthy work in this subject. The aim of this paper is to study on Miller's and Eisner's thoughts on the depth manner and to logically illustrate the various understandings on the curriculum ideologies. So, reviewing on the viewpoints of them, their ideologies are rethink and their main implications are inferred. Then, comparing Miller's with Eisner's ideologies, the conclusions are obtained. The findings of the comparison and analysis show that there are fundamental differences in the philosophy and worldview of these two pioneers.

Present study was performed with the main goal of investigating the effect of hope-based group therapy on the promotion of hope in women with breast cancer. Because of the relationship between hope and depression, investigating the effect of hope-based group therapy on the reduction of depression was the secondary goal. This study is an applied and qui-experimental type (with Non-equivalent control group design).The subjects were selected by using convenient sampling method from the list of women with breast cancer in breast hospitals. 20 subjects selected (10 persons in each group). Then the Snyder hope scale with a reliability ratio of o.89 and Beck depression inventory with a reliability ratio of o.86 were performed as pre-test. The results of statistical analysis of T-test supported doesn’t show any significant deference between the scores of hope (verified with a significant value of p=0.81 and reliability of 95%) and depression (verified with a significant value of p=0.72 and reliability of 95%) in pre-test. (p>0.05) Then the experimental group was subjected to the intervention of hope-based group therapy. After a 8-session treatment(two months, each session being two hours) in experimental group in order to measure the dependent variables (hope and depression), the Snyder hope scale and Beck depression inventory were repeated as post-test in both groups. The results of statistical analysis of T-test supported the main hypothesis (verified with a significant value of p=0.000 and reliability of 99%) and the secondary hypothesis (verified with a significant value of p=0.01 and reliability of 95%). As a result, hope-based group therapy in comparision to the control group would significantly promote the amount of hope and reduce the signs of depression in women with breast cancer

In modern world there are a few people who may view at organizational management especially educational administration with a mechanical vision. Particularly, in recent decades, ther factors such as consciousness, thinking and freedom have been increasingly emphasized in educational systems. Despite the progressive trend of science, no attention has been drawn to philosophical basics of these theories and their formation. Educational administration is a young science and needs to be supported philosophically. In this direction, this paper will study Taylorism anthropology basis as the first scientific theory of mangement and criticize its consequences in educational administration. The findings of this study show that according to this theory man is looked to as a material creature that should be controlled continuously. Human resources are assumed to be equal to industrial resources and human, based on this theory, is logical-economical man who is considered as a unit for analyzing the management in the organization. According to this trend, educational administraion enjoy reasonable-legal authority for managing schools and there is an intensive centralization in the methods of controlling teachers and students and the role of manners as the factors for controlling human behaviors fall to a minimum.
