There are many factors to reflect moderate misconducts as cultural, social, political and economical. Nevertheless, the explanations to these behaviors can be linked to other psychological concepts such as: social values, life style, social capital and communicative ties. This research seeks to investigate reasons to moderate misconducts via OLS Regression and the impact of independent variables on dependant ones.First, an analytical model was drawn through descriptional and inferential process assisted by moderate misconduct, mild cultural misconducts and social capital theories. Then, some hypotheses were identified and tested based on an analytical framework and acceptable Alpha of .83. Results indicated that the regression equation to factor analysis of variables and the logical regression with the value of Adjusted R2=.54 F value in one percent Alpha level of regression model; and also independent variables had an apparent role in moderate misconducts.

This study sought to investigate the relationship between delightedness and matrimonial satisfaction among the employed female teachers and housekeepers in Arak City. The statistical population included all of the employed females in education organization and housekeepers in Arak.From among the employed females, 100 were chosen based on systematic sampling; other 100 subjects were selected from the housekeepers who had been homogenized to the former group in respect to common-life years and the number of children.19 subjects from the employed sample and 27 from the housekeeper sample were eliminated due to being reluctant to cooperate. Data gathering instruments included Oxford Delightness Questionnaire and Enrich Matrimonial Satisfaction Questionnaire. The data were analyzed via descriptional statistics, including mean, standard deviation; and inferential including Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation, T–test, and Chi-Square. The results indicated: (1) There was relationship between delightedness and matrimonial satisfaction in the employed females; (2) There was relationship between delightedness and matrimonial satisfaction among the housekeepers; (3) The degree of delightedness did not differ between the two groups; and (4) The degree of matrimonial satisfaction did not differ between the two groups.

In this paper, the psychological aspect of human resources in organizations and some related definitions and concepts including history, philosophy, goals, functions, attitudes and human resources activities in current organizations have been dealt with. The study points to what is the origin of motivation and human resources communications in organizations which is based on human resources approach. Human resources has been focused in all management theories as the key stimulator of organizations and all models always try to discover the potential of human resources. Human resources management focuses on transactions among humans and optimal use of these organizational capitals. In all psychological discussions of human resources, the main effort has been attending to human factors which create a more effective organization to consider man’s position on the earth as God’s successor.But in current organizations many concerns are unfortunately observed in this respect.

Unpaid working, especially women’s housekeeping, is, to a large extent, disregarded, though it is as necessary as paid employment for economy.Despite the continuous implementation of the word ‘housekeeping’ this entry does not exist in most dictionaries as if housekeeper women do not work at all. Housekeeping is all housekeepers and employed women’s engagement but this fact is simply neglected. Women housekeepers are accustomed to ignoring this tedious job, being embarrassed of stating it.In spite of the inevitable importance of housekeeping in reproduction of labor force generation, and its value equal to almost one-third of total annual production in an informal economy, it is not directly recorded in formal employment statistics and national production; and remains unpaid and unvalued.Idealistic expectations from women to be in the role of a mother, a wife, a housekeeper and an out-home employee should be the main reasons which have increased housekeeping aftermaths for women. In spite of modern technology in appliances and feminist movements to equate men’s and women’s rights in housekeeping, there has been no reduction in women’s compulsory housekeeping. This issue made the present study to focus on reasons and gender differences in radical, liberal, Marxist, and socialist feminists’ views based on documentation.

The present study investigated the effect of family training on the mental health of the educable mentally retarded children’s parents. The experimental group was a school selected by cluster random method from among the exceptional schools in Shiraz city. The control group, children’s parents from other schools, was homogenized with the experimental group based on mother’s age of pregnancy, father’s education level, and birth sequence. Then, family training was administered on the experimental group within 16 two-hour sessions.Mental health was measured before and after family training program by GHQ-28 test and the result was analyzed by SPSS software and T-test.The results indicated that there was a significant difference, in p<0.05 level, between pre and post test mean scores in sub-scales of physical signs, anxiety and insomnia, social performance and severe depression in such a way that the experimental group’s mental health was higher than the control group’s and this was an indication of the positive effect of family training on the mental health of educable mentally retarded children’s parents.

This paper intended to study the effects of needs, internal and external motivation on the university staff performance. Therefore, using Raymond Ketzel and Donna Thompson’s cotemporary classification, the main Motivation Theories were divided into internal and external theories. The research methodology was linear measurement. In this Method, the most important way to gather data was the questionnaire to be completed by the staff. To get the desired sample, the staff was classified into three groups based on random sampling: high, middle and low rank. Then samples of each group were extracted using simple random sampling. When the questionnaire data were ready, the data bank was formed by SPSS software and the data were analyzed by appropriate statistical tests. The research findings showed that there was a meaningful correlation between all the four variables of internal motivation and the performance of low, middle and high rank staff. Moreover, the findings showed that motivation of money award and better work conditions as two variables of external motivation had a meaningful effect on the performance of low and middle rank staff.The findings also revealed that the variables of external motivation do not have a meaningful effect on the performance of high rank staff; and motivation of instructional courses did not affect the performance of low rank staff but had a meaningful effect on the performance of middle and high rank staff. Considering the importance of knowing the motivation types in order to increase the productivity of human force, improving salary and benefits (external motivation) and establishing an appropriate base in order to pave the way for success and staff aptness (internal motivation) should be the main priorities.

The present research sought to compare coping strategies and mental health in children of divorced and non-divorced parents; and to determine the relationship between these two variables. To do this research, 200 subjects (100 students of divorced parents and 100 ordinary students) from among the 4th-grade high school students of Tehran were selected using multi-steps sampling. Rodger and Najarian’s CSQ (coping strategies questionnaire) and GHQ (general health questionnaire) were administered on the participants. To test the research hypotheses, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and T-test were used. The results indicated that children of divorced parents had a lower mental health than ordinary children and they implemented more emotional and avoidance strategies. It was also found that there was relationship between cognitive coping strategies and ----------------- strategies and high mental health; relationship was also found between emotional/avoidance strategies and mental health conflict.

In this article, the relationship between physicians and patients was studied. The study started with the notion of placebo in which physicians cure their patients without giving medicine to them. Szasz Thomas recognizes three models of relationship: (1) active and passive interaction; (2) the model in which patients cooperate with physicians’ treatment; (3) mutual participation. The relationship between patients and physicians in regard to their social class was, also, studied. Coffman’s strategic models, Parson’s variable patterns and David Tachett’s ideas about physicians were investigated, too.
