The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between thinking styles, personality types and Achievement motivation. 400 of male students out of Tehran guidance school were selected by cluster sampling and completed the following questionnaires: thinking styles Stenberg -Wagner, short NEO Personality and Bernard Weiner’s Achievement motivation questionnaire. The Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation, multiple regressions and stepwise regression. The study showed that, from subscales of thinking styles (executive, legislative and Judicial) there is a positive correlation between the executive and judicial style subscales and achievement motivation in male guidance school students. But no significant correlation was observed between the Legislative Style subscales and achievement motivation. The relationship between personality types with students’ Achievement motivation was considered in another hypothesis of this study. The results indicate that there is a negative correlation between neuroticism personality type and achievement motivation and there is a significant positive correlation between Conscientious personality and achievement motivation, also students' Achievement motivation was predicted only by means of conscientiousness scale.

This survey is for studying the effectiveness of pre- profession term in students with special needs from teacher's point of view. The studied sample consist of 127 teachers in pre-profession term (78 female, 49 male) that among male and female teachers of schools in pre- profession term with students with special needs in Tehran and its towns were chosen randomly. The hypothesis of this survey had been done by questionnaires with 16 questions and metric of 5 degrees of likret. For analyzing the information we use explanatory test and kaydo tests. The results showed that most of the teachers of pre-profession believed that the assigned content are fit with the ability, desires, suitable facilities, training places, class time and teaching book, but it dosen't fit with learning sources of this era and the rules of accepting students for entering to high school.

he purpose of this research was to know attachment to God as a mediator of perceived childhood attachment.to each parent (secure and insecure) and the components of anger. 350 student from Azad university in Kashmar completed measures of perceived attachment to parents (Hazan & Shaver’s 1989), attachment to God (Rowatt & Krik Patriik’s, 2002) and anger control (Spielberger’s, 1999) with the cluster sampling method. To analysis the results, factorial of variance and the structural equation modeling techniques were used. Results showed that attachment to God, especially ambivalent attachment completely mediate the relationship between insecure attachment to each parent (especially insecure father) and anger components (especially anger temperature). In other word, attachment to parents didn’t show direct role in controlling anger which suggests the importance of spirituality and emotional connection with God.

The current research is intended to study the practicality, validity, reliability and normalization of life quality scale (2001). To do so, a sample including 500 persons were randomly selected. They answered a questionnaire including 84 questions. The validity coefficient of the scale was obtained through Chornbach’s alpha which was 0.848. To study the reliability of the structure, the major elements analysis and Ilimine’s cycling method were applied. The results led to derivation of 12 factors which totally describe %55.2 of the variables’ variance. These 12 factors include: extended family relationship, scientific capabilities, professional features, problems in decision making, material welfare, daily activities, planning capability, ability of personal growth, social relationships, not being criticized, creativity and physical welfare. To study simultaneous reliability, the correlation between the factors of life quality scale and psychological health test (GHQ) was studied on a group of 127 persons.The results indicated that the correlation among such factors as problems in decision making, planning capability, the ability of personal growth and all the questionnaire with psychological health was meaningful in %1.

In this research, practicality, credibility, validity, and normalizing (norm-finding) of the social adjusment (CTP) has been investigated. The sample group consisted of 480 people was selected through the multi-stage sampling and they responded to the social adjusment list. The list included 90 questions. In conclusion, Cronbachs Alpha coefficient was obtained 0.836. The narrative investigation of structure by oriented analysis showed that the 9 exerted factors explain 42.75 percent of total variances of variables. These 9 factors include: social trend, family relationships, and benevolence, committing anti-social behavior, self-control, social skills in relationships, obeying the social rules, social responsibility, and commitment to value system. Beck self-concept test was used to investigating the convergent validity. Correlation between the 25- question beck self-control form and social compatibility was calculated on the sample group consisted of 480 people. The results showed that 5 factors of 9 factors; factor 1 (social trend), factor 4 (committing anti-social behavior), factor 6 (social skills in relationships), factor 7 (obeying the social rules), factor 8 (social responsibility) are correlated with social compatibility test, and the total correlation coefficient of social compatibility with beck concept was obtained 45%.

Introduction: The goal of this study is meta-analysis of researches about effectiveness of psychological-educational interventions on academic performance of dyscalculia students in Iran.Method: This study with meta-analysis or integrating the results of different studies, determine the effect size of psychological psychological-educational interventions on academic performance of dyscalculia students. For this purpose among 22 studies, 17 studies which were methodology accepted and meta-analysis was done on them. The research instrument was meta-analysis checklist. This study includes 508 subjects and 17 effect sizes.Results: The results of meta-analysis indicated rate of effect size psychological-educational interventions on academic performance of dyscalculia students 1.21 (p=0.001). This effect size according to Cohen table has high effect size. The highest effect size in researches was that of Amani and et (d=2.34) and the lowest effect size were those of Karghar and et and Kazemi and et (d=0.63). Conclusion: It means psychological-educational interventions on academic performance of dyscalculia students in Iran have high impact.

The aims of this research was; study1: examining psychometric properties of Cattell's culture fair intelligence test (scale2) -CCFIT II - and study2: investigate the relationship between (CCFIT II) and Raven's progressive matrices (RPM). For this purpose, 310 female and 190 male students from high schools in the city of Tehran selected by multiple random sampling. In study1 (N=500) the reliability of CCFIT II was calculated by Cronbach's Alfa method and the reliability of whole test was equal to a=0.789. The result of factor analyzing showed that four factor (inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, perception speed, short time memory) account 47.997 percent of total variance and CCFIT II has validity. In study2 (N=100) the correlation calculated by Pearson's two-tailed correlation coefficient and result showed significant correlation (p=0.01) between CCFIT II and RPM (r=0.418).
