Well-veiled (Hijab) as something natural has a history as old as human existance. Well-veiled (Hijab) andl chastity is human charateristic and people are interested in them because of their nature and creation. The purpose of the present study was to compare the social immunity and mental health of the poorly- veiled vs. Well- veiled women, housewives vs. working women, women employed in governmental vs. non-governmental organizations, and married vs. single women. The design of the study was ex post facto. The sample of the study included 169 Well-veiled women and 157 poorly-veiled women with different age ranges (over 18 years), housewives and working women and having different educational background, selected randomly. The research instruments were a researcher-made questionnaire and the general health questionnaire GHQ28. The content validity of the researcher-made questionnaire was checked by experts and its reliability was calculated by test-retest method giving an index of 0.79. Data were analysed through an independent t-test and Pearson correlation. The findings revealed that the well-veiled women enjoy more social immunity and mental health compared to poorly-veiled women. Also the social immunity and mental health of the housewives were more than the working women. The social immunity and mental health of the women working in governmental organizations were better than the women working in non- governmental organizations. Similarly the social immunity and mental health of the married women were more than the single ones. The researchers concluded that Well-veiled (Hijab) has a positive relationship with the social immunity, mental health, employment status and place of employment.

The problem of girls running away from their homes has increased in the society in the recent years. It is one of the social problems and controlling it requires strong management. But besides this factor, character attributions and personal motivation play a significant role causing this problem. This study is from the retrospective type. To carry out these research 120 subjects (60 run away and 60 normal girls) were chosen. The runaway girls between 11 to 30 years in age, who were arrested in 1390-1391 by police and handed over to Tabriz Social Emergency Center, were chosen. The normal girls were equalized with runaway girls according to their age, level of education, and financial level. In this study Carver and White's activation/inhibition behavioral systems module were used. The results of the findings in the research showed that the difference between two groups of runaway and normal girls in behavioral activation system and behavioral inhibition system was different and both systems were more active in runaway girls. The difference between activation/inhibition behavioral systems in runaway and normal girls was meaningful. Theoretical and research based challenges in finding the character attribution has opened a new window to the questions the researches have thought for decades. For this reason the efforts of the research has been focused on stud y in g the character attribution responsible in girl's running away from their houses.

This study accomplished with the intention of studying the relationship between the differentiation of self, anxiety and marital satisfaction of married women in Tabriz. The sample of this study included 180 married women of Tabriz, that were selected through multi stage random - cluster sampling method first, from among the municipality locale and them from counseling centers. They completed Enrich marital satisfaction, Differentiation of self Inventory, and Zung's Self Rating anxiety scale. The data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient, and regression analysis. The results showed that there were a significant positive relationship between differentiation of self and marital satisfaction and a significant negative relationship between the anxiety and differentiation of self and between the anxiety and marital satisfaction (P<0.01). The results also showed that 72 percent of the marital satisfaction variance is explained by anxiety and differentiation of self components.

Cardiovascular diseases are a disorder which is affected by psychological factors. This research was administered with the aim of investigating the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on valued living and thought suppression and intrusion among cardiovascular female patients. Research method was quasi- experimental and statistical population included the female cardiovascular patients who had referred to a cardiovascular expert office in Esfahan, in spring 2012. Among them, twenty female were selected voluntarily and then randomly assigned in two control and experimental groups (each group 10 persons). Experimental group was trained in eight sessions by acceptance and commitment therapy. Research instrument was valued living questionnaire (Wilson et al, 2010) and thought suppression questionnaire with two sub scales of thought suppression and intrusion (Schmidt et al, 2009). Data were analyzed with the use of multivariate analysis of covariance. Results revealed that in the post-test after controling for pretest, there was a significant difference between experimental and control groups in valued living and thought intrusion, but there was not any significant difference in the thought suppression.

The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between assertiveness, responsibility and self differentiation, in female students. Research method has been correlation, and 100 female students were selected randomly as a research sample, They completed assertiveness (AS), responsibility (RS), and self differentia t ion (SDS) questionaires, The results of Pearson correlation showed a positive and significant relationship between assertiveness and self differentiation (P<0.01) and positive relationship between self differentiation and responsibility (P<0.01), Results of stepwise regression analysis showed that assertiveness and responsibility could explain 18% of variance o f s e lf differentiation, . So, self-differentiation could be known as a function of responsibility and assertiveness.

This study was aimed to examine the effectiveness of parent management training (PMT) on improvement of the parenting style and excessive reaction of mothers of children with ADHD. The research method of this stud y was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of this study included all 7 -13 year old Tabriz students with attention deficit/hyperactivity and their mothers. At first, out of educational areas of Tabriz one area was randomly chosen by multivariate cluster sampling. Then, out of the elementary schools of this area, three schools were randomly chosen and by CSI-4 test ADHD children were screened. 30 children with ADHD were chosen and these children's mothers were randomly replaced in the experimental and control groups. Arnold parenting questionnaire was answered by both groups. Then, experimental group was instructed by parent management training for eight two-hour sessions, while the control group did not receive any training. After the training sessions a posttest was administered for both groups. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, and covariance analysis were used. The results indicated that parent management training (PMT) was effective on the improvement of parenting style mothers, and their excessive reaction.

This study examined the relationship between the belief to complete the task and self-esteem with the mental health of female students in a secondary school in Meshkin Shahr city. This research was a field study and a descriptive one. Its method was correlational. The population included approximately 4253 female students from whom 353 students were selected as a sample through cluster sampling. For collecting of the data the self-esteem questionaire of Cooper Smith and the mental health questionaire of Derogates and the researcher made questionaire of belief to complete the task were used. To explore the relationship between the variables and calculate the rate of the relationship the multivariate regression model and Pearson correlation coefficient analyses were used. The results showed a positive significant relationship between the task-completion belief and mental health and also between the task-completion belief and mental health and also between the self-esteem and mental health of the participants. The results of Multivariate regression analysis indicated that both variables of task-completion belief and self-esteem can predicate the mental health of the participants.

The design of the study was descriptive and correlation one. The population of the study included all high school female student (15-16) year and their mothers in Tehran.
