Theory of Mind (mentalizing) is one of the most important skills for effective interpersonal relationships. In this respect, a great deal of investigations have studied how theory of mind can be enhanced across a range of methodological approaches. Moreover, stories have long been theorized to influence how we perceive our social world and our peers. Scholars have questioned whether exposure to stories can improve mentalizing. Considering how digital technology has drastically changed the way we communicate and the way we tell our stories, this study investigates the potential of digital storytelling medium for Theory of Mind enhancement. For this purpose, we review previous studies on stories and how they can evoke social processes such as Theory of Mind. We then suggest 3 principles that characterize how digital storytelling can work as a tool for Theory of Mind enhancement. Unlike traditional storytelling medium, digital storytelling can be a participatory medium for creative mind reading.

Background: Globalization and new information technologies provide benefits for organizations, however, it can be useful through transparent governance. Purpose: The main aim was to design a creative pattern of transparency with an emphasis on good governance in policymaker organizations. Methods: It was a mixed methodology in data type and fundamental research in terms of purpose. Qualitative data collection through Delphi interview questions was done, with targeted sampling and the statistical population of all senior managers, specialists, and policymakers (33 people). In the quantitative part, it was performed with all middle managers, executives, and organizational experts (432 people) through random stratified and cluster sampling by researcher-made survey questionnaires. The content validity and Cronbach alpha reliability were employed. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics including factor analysis, and structural equations. Findings: The results indicated that transparency was the most important dimension including, 2 components of objective and subjective value, 3 subcomponents, and 13 indicators. In organizations, people pay more attention to transparency as an objective value Conclusions: The findings presented a new pattern that results in good governance based on transparency. The managers' attitude is less sensitive to the subjective value of transparency. In policymaker organizations, people should pay more attention to the subjective value of transparency.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of family and university support in the creativity and risk taking of Master and PhD students at University of Birjand through mediation of life expectancy. Method: The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population consisted of 3064 students of MSc and Ph. D. students at University of Birjand and 340 people by using simple random sampling and based on Morgan's table were selected. To measure the variables of family and university support, the Sherbourne and Stewart (1991) questionnaire, the creativity and frugality from Vatankhah and Rezaei Moghadam's (2015) the voluntary entrepreneurship questionnaire and life expectancy from Snyder's (1991) hope questionnaire were used. Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts. The reliability coefficients of the questionnaires were assessed by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and 0. 99 for the support of the family, 0. 99 for the university support, 0. 60 for creativity and 0. 49 for risk taking, life expectancy was 0. 72. Data analysis was done at descriptive level (frequency, mean, standard deviation) and inferential level (Pearson correlation, analysis of variance, regression and structural equation modeling). Results: The results indicated that family and university support (information support) predict the creativity (Beta= 0. 738) and does not predict the risk taking with regard to the P-value. Family and university support (information support) predict the life expectancy (Beta= 0. 307). The life expectancy is predicting of creativity (Beta= 0. 212) and risk taking (Beta= 0. 400). Findings showed that life expectancy does not play a mediating role between family and university support with creativity and risk taking and the research model has a good fit. Decision making: According to the results, the family and university support (information support) has a direct and significant relationship with creativity, and (emotional support), there is a reverse and significant relationship with creativity. The family and university support do not have a significant relationship with risk taking. The results also indicate a direct and significant relationship between family and university support and life expectancy. The results also indicate a direct and significant relationship between the family and university support and life expectancy.

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to identify open innovation components and providing a model for implementing open innovation in university. Method: The present study is a qualitative study which identified and extracted the components of open innovation by thematic analysis and in an inductive manner. The field of research was all open innovation articles and books in the period from 2007 to 2018. Thematic analysis is a method for recognizing, analyzing and reporting patterns in qualitative data. Thematic analysis is done in a variety of methods. In this research, the "Thematic Network" has been used. The validity of the research was approved by the referee by the audit method. To calculate reliability, coding is done by studying row to row of selected resources manually by two individuals individually. After coding, the results of these two coding are compared by the Holsti method. Results: After studying and selecting and coding the texts of articles related to open innovation, 54 basic themes were extracted from different sections of the articles. From these basic themes, 10 organizing themes and finally 3 global themes of “ organizational factors” and “ customer factors” and “ relation factors” were extracted. Conclusions: Based on the results of thematic analysis and identifying the components of open innovation, a model for implementing open innovation in the university was presented that this model categorized influential components on the implementation of open innovation in the university in three groups of factors associated with the organization and organizational structure of the university, Factors related to university customers and factors related to the internal and external communication of the university.
