The purpose of this study is considering practicality, reliability, validity and norm finding of spiritual intelligence among a sample group of 498 (309 girls and 192 boys) students of Azad University of Zanjan. The sample were selected by random method. The questionnaire was used in this study is made of 82 questions. Each question is based on likert's 4 item spectrum. After gathering and analyzing data, the reliability coefficient of Cronbach's Alpha was equal to 0/909.15 question of the 82 question were omitted. In order to determine inventory validity the principle component was used. Results showed that 12 factors determine 43/9 of the whole variance of variables. The results extracting 12 factors include: 1- personal self–awareness, 2-virtuous behavior, 3-intellectuality, 4-problem solving 5-Consciousness, 6-being holistic, 7-mindfulness, 8-existential questioning, 9-meaning, 10-deep intuition, 11-divinity, 12-inner-directedness. Finally for description and definition spiritual intelligence scores of the students two kinds of percentile and categorical norms have been provided. There is no difference between spiritual intelligence scores of girls and boys.

In order to exploring the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Social Problem Solving Inventory (Revised Short-Form) 253 male and 275 female students of the Islamic Azad University province were administered the social problem solving inventory (2002) and Big Five Inventory (1991). Principal component analysis confirmed the theoretical five factors of the social problem solving (including positive problem orientation, negative problem orientation, rational problem solving, avoidance style and impulsive/carelessness style) and findings of confirmatory factor analysis provided support for derived factor structure. Correlations between the factors of social problem solving inventory and Big Five Factors Inventory provided empirical support for the convergent validity of the social problem solving inventory. Cronbach's coefficient for positive problem orientation, negative problem orientation, rational problem solving, avoidance style and impulsive/carelessness style were 0.68, 0.77, 0.71, 0.80 and 73 respectively.The findings support the consistency of the factor structure of the social problem solving inventory, and its validity in measuring social problem solving in Iranian students.

The Present work addresses the relation between addiction and emotional entelligence components. For this purpose 276 addicts including males and females who using depressant (opium, heroin and opium tincture) and nondepressant (crystal, cocaine and cannabis) drugs refered to private and public institutes for with drawal in isfahan. They were selected through multi- stage cluster sampling. The subjects completed Bar-On's emotion intelligence test, demographic and addiction type questionnaires. To analyze the data, logistic regression was applied using statistical package for social science (15th ed). The results indicated that only problem –solving component is a predictor of addiction to nondepressant drugs.

The purpose of the present research is to study the therapist effects of treatment methods of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, drug and cognitive therapeutic approach on decreasing the state anxiety. the achieve this a group of forty male and female people including single and married from fifteen to fifty years of age. They expressed their anxiety to treatment centers Tehran. They had numbers more than 55 in trait anxiety test and Spielberger in sample groups randomly in 4 groups. Independence variable in treatment methods were applied.The control group didn’t receive any interference. post-test and pre-test on control and experiment groups were done. The results showed that There is a meaningful difference between the two sexes. The comparison of the means by sheaf Experiment shows that is a difference between re-processing and control group.In other word, the three methods in reducing sensitivity, are move effective. the treatment method in reducing anxiety has the same effectiveness. In other words the treatment with medical has the highest effectiveness in reducing anxiety. The reprocessing has the most important role in eye movement and reprocessing and cognitive technique in reducing state anxiety.

Impulsivity is central to several psychopathological states in adolescence. However, there is little consensus concerning the definition of impulsivity and its core dimensions. In response to this lack of consensus, Whiteside and Lynam (2001) have developed Impulsive Behavior Scale, which is able to distinguish 4 dimensions of impulsivity in adults: Urgency, lack of Premeditation, lack of Perseverance, and Sensation seeking. The aim of this study was investigating the reliability, validity and factor structure of the UPPS scale on 484 Iranian undergraduate students (190 male, 294 female). The item total correlations and factor analysis of questionnaire items showed that four items have insignificant correlations coefficients and weak factor loadings. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 42 item questionnaire was 0.796. Principal component analysis, using a varimax rotation, resulted in the following components: Urgency, Lack of premeditation, Lack of preservance, Sensation seeking. Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the four extracted factors, but the secondorder factor analysis indicated that the three factor model is better than the four factor model, excluding sensation seeking.

In order to study relationship of computer games with aggression and parent- child in students, 60 boy and 60 girl student were selected by the multiphase sampling to study computer games influence on aggression and the parent- child's relations on girl in third grade of secondary school. For the aggression evaluation, was used Buss and perry Aggression Questionnaire (1992) and for the parent- child’s relations, (1983) Was used Fine And co worker’s prepared questionnaire that possesses two distinct forms for mother and father. In order to computer games evaluation was used two indexes of spent time for the computer games in the day and kind of computer game that included four games (sever conflict, sport, warlike, adventurous and mental- education). The results showed that because of in creasing the spent hours for the computer games, aggression increases but the relations between father- child in fatherly association aspects and relations with father and also relations between mother – child in positive affect aspects, the identification and relations between mother and child decreases. The kind of computer games didn’t influence on rate of aggression students. The relationship between parent - child among boys were higher than girls.

The purpose of this study is to compare traits of the state airlines and the private ones in Iran which are based on their entrepreneurial characteristics. These characteristics include entrepreneurship, risk taking, focus of control, need for Achievement, mind fluency, functionality, visionary (dream fullness), ambiguity tolerance and challenge ability. Tools of entrepreneur's personal characteristics were used. To do this research, twenty state managers and twenty non state ones were selected by descriptive judgment method. The result being achieved by the Manova at the level of -5% didn’t show any kind of difference between entrepreneurial characteristics of the managers of Iranian state and private.

This interference search aimed to study effects of puberty and menstrual hygiene training on improving mental health of girls in third course of junior high school in Hassan Abad city. This is one of experimental plans and of pre and post-test with control group which is needed in pursuance test. In this study, experimental (35 members) and control (32 members) group has been selected by method of cluster chance sampling. Research devices are: puberty and menstrual health information questionnaire and 28-question general health questionnaire (1972). Pre-test was done in both groups contemporary. Then training was offered to experimental group during 8 1.5-hour sessions. After few days when training course was finished, posttest was done in both groups contemporary and 1 month later, pursuance test was executed contemporary. Data analysis showed that puberty and menstrual hygiene training to female students has positive effect on mental health. In addition this training has effected factors of mental health (symptoms of Anxiety-Depression-Social operation).Puberty and menstrual hygiene training can caused to decrease sleep disorder and anxiety, to deduct depression and also to improve their social operation.
