Introduction Students with math learning disabilities, despite having natural intelligence, and perfect health in vision and hearing, are poor at performing computational skills. In this group of children, there is a serious defect in learning math skills, such as recognizing numbers, mathematical operations, and problems related to spatial perception and problem solving. Although some research has suggested that direct training can be effective in improving some active memory processes, but researchers have recently emphasized the importance of boosting memory, particularly active memory with the help of computers. Computers have changed the lives of people with learning disabilities, motivating them to work, providing information in both visual and auditory dimensions, and increase active memory capacity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of computerbased training with traditional teaching on mathematical performance of students with the mathematical disorders in Ahvaz city...

Introduction Fear of academic failure is one of the important topics in educational psychology, which has always been the focus of many educational professionals. Fear of academic failure is a psychological fear that results from the imbalance between situational or environmental demands and perceived personal resources, and is assessed as one's ability to function as a predictor of negative emotional experiences, feelings of inadequacy and being inferior.

Introduction Happiness as one of the most important psychological needs of mankind, has always occupied the human mind because of its major effects on personality formation. Therefore, since happiness is one of the essential emotions of mankind, everyone experiences it at their own expense. Recent studies show that belief that happiness is not a permanent issue, but a fragile variable, is negatively correlated with experienced happiness. This means that maintaining the fragility of happiness beliefs will lead to a weakening of happiness that is accompanied by uncertainty about the likelihood of happiness. In other words, the link between the fragility of the happiness and happiness beliefs experienced depends on one's optimistic and pessimistic expectations of the future. Thus, when there is skepticism, the fragility of happiness beliefs can create a negative outlook that in turn can make it difficult to engage in targeted behaviors and even lead to a failure to understand happy emotions, and vice versa. However, the fragility of happiness beliefs can create a positive outlook that can facilitate the perception of the excitement of happiness. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the fragility of happiness beliefs and happiness experienced with the moderating role of optimism...
