Face, criterion and construct validity have been used to verify the validity and alpha coefficients to assess the reliability of the measurement. To test the hypotheses, Pearson correlation coefficient and analysis of variance were employed.Findings: the Results of Research show that average of individual Conformity strategist’s Score in Rational dimension was 21.55, in emotional dimension 37.42 and in evidences dimension 19.44, also average of individual aggression’s score in offense dimension was 32.71, in Rage dimension 48.51 and Implacability dimension 28.65.

The researches on developmental programs of different countries in the world have shown the important role of information and comminication teachnology. The current study examines the level of using and utilizing information and comminication teachnology in research and educational arena of Isfahan University. It is of a survey nature and the statistical community includes graduate students, post graduate students and the faculty members of Isfahan University in 2008 (1387) that are 3981 persons. Sampling method is done corresponding to the volume of the community and the scal is likert five degree, validity of the research is approved by a number of faculty members and graduate student s and by using Cronbakh alpha, the reliability of questionnaire is calculated 79% for items of educational index and 81% for items of research index. The results show that the average level of using information and comminication teachnology by respondents varies due to their educational level, and the highest level belongs to the faculty members. The Tuky test shows that the difference of the average of using information and comminication teachnology between postgraduate and graduate students is not meaningful; while the difference of the same between graduate and postgraduate students and faculty members is meaningful.

For data analysis, SPSS was used and in sum, 386 questionnaires were obtained and analyzed.Descriptive Method was used to explain the situation of the students among the sample, and also for testing of four hypotheses, we applied inferential and mathematical statistics. It was concluded that the relationship between parents and the students, and also Peers relationship have effect on risk-bearing of the students. The results also showed that the gender has effect on student's risk-taking. Thus, male students are more susceptible than female students. The results also indicated that the rate of risk-taking of the students is above the mean.

Higher education system (HES) is a social institution that has long been set up to accomplish three missions education, research and service, but during recent years entrepreneurship has been added to its missions. Curriculum is the most important component and subsystem of HES and has been thought of as the heart of higher education (HE), because it is the most fundamental means that provides students with knowledge, experience and skills to supply services to the society. The curriculum which can accomplish ideals and missions of universities, organizational (of the university) and social (of the employers and the society) is called accountable curriculum (AC). The main goal of this research was explanation of prerequisites and social outcomes of higher education accountable curriculum (HEAC). To do the research descriptive survey method was used and in order to collect the needed data interview and questionnaire instruments were utilized.The sample of the study which the questionnaire was distributed in, included faculty members and graduate students of university of Isfa han, Technical University of Isfahan, and Medical University of Isfahan and also employers and administrators of the companies of Isfahan city. The participants of the sample were al1ocated using stratified random sampling. The questionnaire surveyed the sample's viewpoints about prerequisites and outcomes of the AC in the field of social services. The collected data were analyzed at descriptive and inferential levels using SPSS. The findings of T-test revealed that the mean of the sample's viewpoints about the explained prerequisites and outcomes had been more than the hypothetical (theoretical) mean of the population (p£0/001). The multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA) of the data showed that there hadn' t been significant difference among viewpoints of faculties, and employers in respect of prerequisites of HEAC, but there had been significant difference between their views about expected social outcomes of HEAC (P£0/005).

Mixed Method Research is considered as the latest methodological orientation in social and behavioral sciences and sociology which has been developed following a long period of intra-paradigm controversies between quantitative and qualitative approaches. Based on pragmatist perspective, the mixed method research, while emphasizing on paradigm convergence, seeks to combine both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in a single study which takes three forms containing of concurrent, sequential, and transformative designs.Historically tracing back to 1960s, the mixed method research methodology has formally introduced in last decade, then, it has followed and expanded over recent years. This emergent strategy has particular literature, principles, stages and designs quite different from the conventional qualitative and quantitative designs.In this Paper, it has been tried to overview the historical emergence of mixed method research and its definitions. Then, while introducing the deductive and inductive types of mixed method designs, six types of mixed method research including of Concurrent-Triangulation, Concurrent-Nested, Concurrent-Transformative, Sequential-Explanatory, Sequential-Exploratory and Sequential-Transformative designs and their practical procedures have been discussed. Besides, some aspects of mixed method research proposal including of: Goals, Questions and Hypothesis in mixed method design, the place of theory, the mixed method data collection and analysis strategies, the practical stages of conducting and writing mixed methods research reports, and the strategies of validation and evaluation mixed method designs have been explored.

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of pro-social tendencies scale among students at the university of Isfahan. The population in this study compised whole undergraduate students of the university of Isfahan in the educational year 1387-88. By using a simple randomized sampling commensurate with Cohen & others (2000) formula, some 300 subjects were selected. Scales used concurrently were: Carlo et al's pro-social tendencies (with 25 items), Rushton et al's global pro-social behavior (with 20 items), Davis' empathic concern (with 7 items), Nickell et al' s altruistic Values (with 4 items) and Steele et al's Social responsibility motivation (with 4 items). All of the above scales were administered concurrently for studying the validity and reliability of pro-social tendencies. Data was analyzed and studied using coronbach's Alpha, Spearman-Brown and Guttman's coefficients, factor analysis (with principal component and varimax rotation) and concurrent validity (the correlation between scales). Results showed that the coronbach's Alpha for pro-social tendencies, global pro-social behavior, empathic concern, altruistic values and social responsibility motivation were 0.861, 0.845, 0.600, 0.500 and 0.782 respectively. The result of factor analysis showed five factors for pro-social tendencies: anonymouse, public- altruistic, emotional, dire and compliant pro-social behaviors.

The aim of this article is to study the social effective factors on addiction phenomenon, this research is a case study in nature. The population of study consisted 135 self- directing addicts from the improvement centers affiliated by Ahwaz welfare center (behzisti).

Also result indicated that, there is a meaningful relation between normlessness, isolation, social association with addicted friends and the dependent variable (addiction intensity). But result showed that, there is no significant relationship between variables such as age, marital status and relative deprivation with addiction intensity.
