The purpose of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of Farsi version of moral content judgments in sport among athletes. One hundred ninety six athletes (mean age = 21.66 years) filled in two questionnaires: assessment of the moral content judgment (Moral Content Judgment in Sport Questionnaire; MCJSQ), assessment of aggressiveness and anger (Competitive aggressiveness and anger scale; CAAS). Data were analyzed with exploratory factor analysis, cronbach's alpha, Pearson correlation. Factor analyses (exploratory) revealed an adequate fit in a four-factor model. Data showed four factors predicted 55.54 percent of variance. Internal consistency by cronbach's alpha for whole of scale and subscales were equal to .91, .85, .70, .76 and .85 respectively. Relationship among of subscales and whole scale showed the translated scale was acceptable internal consistency. Relationship between translated scale the competitive anger and aggressiveness in sport showed that the MCJSQ has good convergent construct validity (r=-0.219). The results of the present study provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the MCJSQ. It was concluded that translated scale of the MCJSQ has acceptable validity and reliability among athletes and has the usability by athletes, trainers, and researchers

This study was carried out in order to interpret the relationship between attachment styles and the perceived stress with mediating role of resilience among students. The subjects in this survey were composed of 150 female and male high school students, who were elected by means of multi-stage clustered sampling method. The measurement tools used in this study included three questionnaires of Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale, Adult Attachment Styles, and Perceived Stress Scale. The results of this study showed that according to final model, there are direct significant correlation between the two-sided attachment/ anxiety style, which is of the strongest dimension of attachment style, with perceived stress; while, the secured and attachment, as one of the attachment styles variable, determined to be the weakest dimension, had direct significant correlation with the perceived stress variable; however, it could have effect on the perceived stress by resilience impact, so, it made a stronger relationship.

The propose of this research was to develop a model for loneliness based on the Coping Style, Spiritual wellbeing, Depression and life satisfaction of girls spouses. 350 girls were selected between children’s parents of Shiraz city by using accessible sampling method and were answered to loneliness scale, spiritual well-being scale, coping style s scale, depression scale and life satisfaction scale. Data analysis method was structural equation modeling. The outcomes of the research show that spiritual wellbeing and coping style has significant and direct effect on loneliness. Also it has significant and negative indirect effect on loneliness through its impacts on life satisfaction. Depression not only has significant direct effect on loneliness but also it can have significant indirect effects on loneliness by its impacts on life satisfaction. Direct effect of life satisfaction on loneliness was negative and significant. The model fit indices showed that the model fitted the data.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of marital boredom with the mediation of the quality of maternal care in anticipation of externalizing and internalizing problems of children. The statistical population of this study was 7 to 10 year-old children in Tehran. The sample consists of 321 children (144 boys and 177 girls) that were selected by using multi-stage cluster sampling and the questionnaires were completed by their mothers. The tools which were used: Couple boredom Inventory, quality of maternal care Inventory, and Child Behavior Checklist. Finally, the data was analyzed by correlation, regression analysis and analysis of variance, using 22th version of SPSS. The mediator variable quality of maternal care in the relationship between marital boredom and externalizing and internalizing problems of children, has the role of mediator; moreover, there are significant differences in externalizing problems between the genders. The quality of maternal care for children plays a significant role in emotional and behavioral problems. The mothers, who show a kind of weakness in their roles as a mother, will confront with difficulties in the upbringing of their children and this matter causes increasing difficulties in children.

The purpose of the study was to exam the psychometric properties of the emotional intelligence scale. Initially, to provide the useful translation of the scale, translation and back translation process was used. The scale consisted of 96 items in eight subscales. The sample includes 536 teachers in Shiraz city. The sampling method was cluster sampling. To check the construct validity, principle component factor analysis and maximum likelihood were run. The results showed a three factors construct. Alpha coefficient for these extracted factors was acceptable. Also the test-retest reliability, Convergent and divergent validity for the scale were acceptable.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness based on cognitive therapy in marital satisfaction of women faced with infidelity. The study was a single subject experimental design with multiple-base lines. Five women faced with infidelity who referred to counseling centers of Sirjan city were selected by accessible sampling and according to entry criteria and participated in 8 sessions of 120 minutes of mindfulness based cognitive therapy. Marital satisfaction questionnaire was completed in the baseline, second, fourth, sixth, eighth and follow-up sessions. Observing the diagrams, recovery percentage indicators, scores decreasing percentage, effect size and variability and moreover results of ANOVA test showed that the effect of mindfulness based cognitive therapy on marital satisfaction was not significant. Generally, we can say that mindfulness based cognitive therapy has no effect on marital satisfaction of women faced with infidelity.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of emotional intelligence training on quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Semi-experimental study design study with pre-test, post-test with control group. The study population was included all patients with irritable bowel syndrome referred to a gastroenterologist and centers and clinics in Tehran in 2016. In order to ensure the diagnosis, the diagnosis of this syndrome all clients by researcher and based on the diagnostic criteria for diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome were interviewed and then once a willingness to participate in training sessions randomly assigned 18 patients in the experimental group and 18 patients in the control groups. Methods way that, after a pre-test in the experimental group, the experimental group was given emotional intelligence training and the control group were given training to them. Then, after the test was taken from both groups. Tools used in research, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, and to analyze the data was used univariate analysis of covariance. Finally, the findings show that emotional intelligence training improves the quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome is.

The purpose of the study was to develop and exam the psychometric propertries of the life-style questionnaire. The sample consisted of 200 married male and female with mean age 32.4 and SD 9.26. The sampling was accessible method. Life-style questionnaire, marital conflicts scale, and multi-dimensional adjustment scale were used in this study. The principle factor analysis was run to check the construct validity of the life-style questionnaire. The results of the analysis showed a four factors solution those named: sleep and family plan, psychological and physical plan, Leisure time, and positive social interaction. Alpha coefficient for the factors showed an acceptable internal consistency. To check the convergent and divergent validity of the life-style questionnaire, multidimensional adjustment scale and marital conflicts scale were used. The output of the statistical test to exam these indexes showed good validity. In sum, the results of the study revealed that the life-style questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument for research job.
