As such, 278 mothers of 2 to 6 years old chil-dren who were selected through avail-able cluster sampling method from 6 nursery schools of Tehran, completed the Maternal Caregiving Quality scale. Based on obtained scores on this scale and considering including and exclu-ding criteria, finally 61 mothers were selected as research sample and were assigned in experimental group (30 mothers) and control group (31 mo-thers). Attachment based parent train-ing package was given to experimental group during in 8 weekly group sessions) 8 to 12 mothers in each group(at nursery schools. After train-ing sessions, and 3 months later, The Maternal Caregiving Quality scale was completed again by both groups. The results indicated that Parent Trai-ning Package has increased the sensit-iveness, responsiveness and also emo-tional availability and decreased conf-lict and confusion of mothers in the experimental group, and the results of follow up showed that these changes were stable over 3 months. Based on the results, this package can be used and be effective in clinical settings to increase the maternal care giving qua-lity and prompting the mother-child relationships.

The purpose of this research was to compare the sport orientation of adol-escents based on their perceived patt-erning styles. Through a two-stage sampling method, 350 junior high sc-hool students were selected. A battery of questionnaires was applied to co-llect the data including parenting style questionnaire, sport orientation ques-tionnaire, and participation motivation questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).Findings indicated that parenting sty-les affect children’s sport orientation. In addition, this study shows a signify-cant difference between boys and girls in sport orientation, suggesting that boys are more competitive, winning and goal oriented. Consequently, acc-ording to the results, children of authoritative parents might be more sport and success oriented than those of permissive parents. In general, the present study reveals that parenting style is a fundamental important pro-cess influencing the improvement of adolescent's sport orientation.

One of the factors that predict per-fectionism in children education is reported to be families and the way their expectation of children. The aim of the present research is to investigate the role of perceived parenting styles in perfectionism of third grade female students in high school.Using a correlational method, 161 students through a multi stage cluster method were selected. Scales of perception of parenting styles (POPS), and dimensions of perfectionism (MPS) were applied to evaluate the research variables. The results of the regression analysis showed that amo-ng parenting styles, mother's invol-vement and warmth have a significant negative relationship with socially prescribed perfectionism. As a result of warmer relations of mother and child and mother's involvement in children's various activities may red-uce socially prescribed perfectionism. It seems that the involvement style and warmth of the mothers would play an important role in prediction of socially prescribed perfectionism.

The present study examined the role of monitoring in reducing behavioral problems in 6-12 years old girls with ADHD.Among the various factors of monito-ring, self monitoring (internal monit-oring) and maternal monitoring (an external monitoring) were selected and their effectiveness was compared. Therefore, a pretest- posttest with control group design was used. In order to analyze the data, one-way ANOVA was used. The results indicated that according to mother's reports, the group that was monitored by mothers compared to control group, showed significant reduction in ADHD symptoms. So, we can con-clude that behavior monitoring skills training for mothers can be an useful intervention to reduce ADHD sym-ptoms in children.

There is a mutual relationship between work and family dimensions. Present study compares the relationship betw-een dyadic coping strategies with stre-ss, marital satisfaction and burnout. Findings can have practical implicati-ons for couples and therapists in the field of preventive training programs.Statistical population was all teachers (N=9151) in three educational levels in the 2011-2012 school-year who lived in Zanjan. Sampling was through multi-stage cluster sampling. Sample size consists 406 teachers from 38 schools. Different questionnaires were used in present study including dyadic coping inventory (DCI), scale burnout (MBI) and the scale of marital satisfaction (MAT). Findings demons-trated the relationship between coping strategy and burnout sub-scales for spouses. There is also a relationship between dyadic coping strategy and marital satisfaction. Results can have practical implications in order to form-ulate and implement educational and preventive training programs to deal with stressful professional conditions of one earner couples in the field of teaching.

The present study investigated the role of emotional intelligence and emoti-onal schema in marital satisfaction among women. A sample of 200 marr-ied women (100 employed and 100 household women) was selected rand-omly and completed measures of emo-tional schemas, emotional intelligence, and marital satisfaction. The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that attention and clarity components of emotional inte-lligence are significant predictors of most marital satisfaction dimensions. Also, blame, agreement, simplistic view of emotions and higher values towards emotional schemas predicted different dimensions of marital satisfa-ction. Based on the findings it can be concluded that the emotional intellig-ence and effective emotional schema play a key role in marital satisfaction.

Family has been always regarded as the most important social unit in pro-tection and attention of law. Due to industrialization of societies and the internal and external changes of fam-ily and other influencing factors such as broadcasting satellite channels, it seems that new approaches are requ-ired to support the unit of family.On the other hand, broadcasting of satellite channels would affect the lifestyle and local pattern of families which may involve families in pro-blems with socialization, abusive beh-avior, violence, weakness of family foundations, difficulties in educating children, and development of sexual deviations of families based on their culture and values. Although in cons-titutional and civil law, strengthening families, building strong foundations in the family and parental childrearing practices are mentioned as the rights and tasks of families, are not sufficient in terms of recent changes. Every-where that there is a duty, there is a titular. The family as a social phen-omenon has all these rights. It seems that investigation of the family's rights against satellite programs in current law, and providing a mechanism to support the family could cover the gaps which exist in the legal and communicational space which will be discussed in this paper.
