Measuring tool included standardized philosophic-mindedness questionnaire (PMQ). Research performance was measured by researcher-made questionnaire that included research activities. The obtain results were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics that included mean, frequency, standard deviation  and inferential statistics that included spearman correlation. The results showed that there is no a direct correlation between philosophic-mindedness and research activities (p>0.05). According of the results there is significant relationship between some the aspects of philosophic-mindedness (comprehensiveness and flexibility) and the aspects of research performance of faculty members of physical education (p<0.05).

In this study, the correlation research method was used. The statistical society included all students (2500) in Salmas branch studying in 88-89 academic year.

This study sought to investigate the effect of one period of exercising on male university students’ stress level. 30 male students of Islamic Azad University, Zanjan Branch studying within 1389-90 academic year were selected randomly to be studied. The subjects were assigned randomly in two equal groups of 15 (control and experimental0. To measure the stress level, PSI Questionnaire was used in pre and post tests. After collecting pre-test data and explaining exercising practices, the experimental group practiced jogging for 8 weeks, each week 3 30-minute sessions with 65% to 75% excessive heart beat rate. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the subjects’ personal traits and stress level in pre and post tests. To compare the data of the two groups, independent t-test and to compare the data of each group paired t-test (p<0.05) were used. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between personal traits and stress level within experimental and control groups in pre-test indicating the homogeneity of subjects in the two groups. There was significant difference between the experimental group’s stress level in pre and post test stages indicating the effectiveness of one period of exercising in reducing the stress level. There was no significant change in the control’s stress level in pre and post test stages. The present study indicated, in accord to the previous findings, the reducing effect of the exercising period on the stress level of male students. I t can be suggested that to reduce stress level sports exercising can be used due to its effectiveness and lack of negative side effects infrequently seen in medication.

The present study focused on 56 fourth-grade primary schoolboys in educational district 3, Alborz province who were selected through multi-stage cluster random method. It was done by experimental method having pre-test, post-test, control and experimental groups. The sample was randomly assigned to two groups of control and experimental after being paired in variables as IQ (Rion Test), gender, age and last year GPA. The students’ learning extent in math, science, geography and dictation was assessed through a 40-item researcher-made achievement test with a convenient index of reliability and validity before and after administering plays. The data gathered were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistic. The results indicated that mixing games such as Haftsang, drawstring, squash, chair play, and puppetry had a positive effect on improving the students’ learning respectively of dictation, math (divide lesson), geography (climatic areas lesson and directions), and science (respiratory system).

The present research seeks to localize the most well-known conceptual behavioral model of Johnson and Way blended as “SHRM” in IRICO (Iran Railing Industry Company). To achieve this end, these concepts were defined both theoretically and operationally after identifying the model’s variables and related concepts.
