This test was accomplished for examining below cases: a) the effect of group pressure on abstract reasoning b) the difficulty ratio of the subjects in the reasoning of "modus tollens" c) the different ratio of the correct answer of subjects in pervious tests and present test d) the relative difference of intra group with Ash experience; subjects were selected from the undergraduates students, studies was selected by 103 people (51 people in control group and 52 people in experiment group). The random method has been applied in three levels: 1) the selection of subjects 2) assignment of subjects in control group and test group 3) determination experimental variables. Then the subjects were assessed by pretest-posttest design with control group and statistic method of T test (independent analogy and with the different scores) and abstract reasoning test "Wason selection task" and experimental variable of applying mental group pressure. The results with a less than 0.001 shows that group pressure will increase the abstract error. On the other hand, experimental variable of group pressure has been caused the change of the method of subjects reasoning in group direction. Also, "test of independence ratios difference in unit population" showed that participants and more difficulty in the reasoning of the kind of "modus tollens". Also according to the changes in the research test and separation and lucidity of applications the ratio of the correct answer (0.359) of subjects was more meaningful than pervious tests. Other comparisons with Ash test and Zamani & et al test (1371) showed that a) the ratio of nonconformists in Ash test (0.26) to that ratio in this experiment (0.45) had meaningful difference. b) The ratio of perfect conformists in this experiment (0.17) to that ratio in Zamani & et al test (0.20) had not meaningful difference; but the same ratio with Ash test (0.08) is. C) The ratio subjects that in Ash test conformed at least once with group (0.74), but that ratio in this experiment was 0.55, that statistical test showed meaningful difference among them. The findings were discussed on the basis of background and the distinctions of this test and also relative natural semantic theory.

The present research designed and implemented with the goal of study of marriage preparation programme instruction influence on the couples communication beliefs of 300 couples that had referred to Kermanshah’s health center for pre-marriage consultation, 40 persons (20 males and 20 females) who had got the highest score in the communication beliefs (the accepted score should be mentioned) in comparison to other group members were selected and in the next steps, this 40-member group was divided randomly into two groups of control (comparison group is a more appropriate word) and experiment. That constituted 20 persons of experimental group and 20 persons of control group and the experimental group has been participated instruction classes of marriage preparation programme. After finishing of instruction classes of the marriage preparation programme, again inventory of the communication beliefs performed as a post-test. Collected data has been used by covariance analysis test to examine variation in unreasonable beliefs. Obtained result of first hypothesis showed that instruction of the marriage preparation programme is effective in changing couples communication beliefs, and generally unreasonable communication beliefs have been decreased meaningfully. According to the second hypothesis, instruction of the marriage preparation programme has been effective in variation of married male’s communication beliefs. In the third hypothesis also this point was confirmed that instruction of the marriage preparation programme has been effective in variation of the couple’s communication beliefs, in belief component to ruin disagreement. Also the fifth hypothesis confirm that instruction of the marriage preparation programme is effective in changing of the couples communication beliefs, in the belief component to exchangeability of a spouse. And the sixth hypothesis results suggested that instruction of the marriage preparation programme is effective in changing couples communication beliefs in the component of reading mind expectation. And eighth hypothesis is based on the effect that instruction of the marriage preparation programme is effective in changing of the couples communication beliefs about generic differences, no meaningful changes have be seen in the post-test, so these two hypotheses were not confirmed.

The goal of this study is to assess the quality of curriculum in teacher education courses.

The hypothesis of research was that statistic indicates of reliability and validity is outside the optimized level in 4tests. The finding of research indicated that between 25 till 57% of the items related to4tests are unsuitable and the difficulty index, discriminative index, validity and reliability of the tests are outside the optimized level.
