The general purpose of this study was to Development and validation of Contextualized Multiple Intelligences Based on Pentagon Theory. The method of present study was descriptive and survey research. The statistical group was all of the students in college of Education and Psychology in Shiraz University. By cluster sampling method all of the students from 6 and 8 terms were selected. To make the research instrument, at first the contextualized multiple intelligences items and subscales were determined based on pentagon learning intelligence model and after that content and face, reliability and validity and the construction of that were estimated by using SPSS 18 and LISREL 8.54 software and after omitting unreliable and invalid criteria and indexes final scale was prepared. The results of research based on this scale revealed that: 1) The average of different types of students learning intelligence was higher than average level but it was lower than desired level. 2) The highest average of students learning intelligence was refered to social intelligence and the lowest average refered to their political intelligence. 3) There was a significant difference in different types of learning intelligence in students with different field. 4) There was a significant difference in different types of learning intelligence in male and female students. 5). There wasn’t a significant difference between dormitory and non-dormitory students in different types of learning intelligence.

This paper aims to explain youth addiction process, and the family and friends` attribution in the process. The research method was qualitative and theory based on experience. The sample consisted of 12 youth addicted to amphetamine are chosen in purposive sampling, and are carefully interviewed. The topics gained by open and pivotal coding in several steps based on findings. In order to obtain findings, the theory concepts are expanded by rotation method in theories and data. The expansion uses social damage patterns and parent style. Found topics in this research included main category of parent style, social learning and sterilization beliefs about addiction. The main category has subcategories as following: Subcategories of parent style are: Parents and children relation, the parents` relation, inflexibility in style and family. Social learning subcategories included: the addicted friends and his presence in family. Sterilization beliefs` subcategories are: suitable definition, justifying action, no responsibility for the outcome. Parent styles and family assets in one hand, and joining to drug users friendly groups on the other hand, make an interest in using drug and then the interest makes some beliefs which encourage one to use drug curiously and amused but little by little, sterilization beliefs about addiction will be made in one which leads to force, voracity and diversity in use.

The aim of the current meta-analysis was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive treatments in reducing addiction and improve general health in addicted. Totally 10 studies with accepted methodology were selected and meta- analysis was done on them. The data were gathered using meta- analysis check list. The effect size of each study was calculated separately. The findings showed that the rate of effect size of cognitive on reducing addiction and improve general health was 0.47 to 0.83 which according to Cohen’s table was high and good. According to some empirical study, CBT interventions are suitable treatment for reducing addiction and improve anxiety and depression on addicted persons.

The aim of this study was to survey of testosterone and progesterone hormone fluctuations on sexual satisfaction with control of marital satisfaction in a group of women 30 to 50 years in Kazeroon.For this purpose of married women 30 to 50 years of Kazeroon, were selected the numbers of 100 of people who had inclusion criteria with convenience sampling methods, and selected samples were evaluated using index of sexual satisfaction questionnaire and ENRICH marital satisfaction scale. Also, the level of testosterone and progesterone in the blood of women in the follicular phase (between days 12 and 18 cycles) were measured using ELISA and Kits hormone produced by the Monobind Company. The data were evaluated using multiple regression analysis stepwise method and partial correlation. Results showed that: There is significant correlation between sexual satisfaction and marital satisfaction factor controlling the fluctuations of testosterone and progesterone are significant. Fluctuating hormones of progesterone and testosterone are able to predict changes are related to women's sexual satisfaction. So that women's sexual satisfaction, hormone fluctuations can be explained by progesterone is highest, followed by the second phase fluctuations of testosterone in women is predictive of sexual satisfaction. Fluctuating hormones of progesterone and testosterone, along with the marital satisfaction of women are able to predict changes in sexual satisfaction. So we can conclude that fluctuating hormones of progesterone and testosterone in women, affecting the quality of the marital relationship and in discussing the reduction of sexual satisfaction can be considered changes of mentioned hormones.

The aim of this study was to check the mediating role of self-esteem for quality of life and at risk behavior. The sample consisted of 300 college students in Marvdasht Branch of Islamic Azad University. The sampling method was multistage cluster sampling. The World Health of Quality of Life Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire, and Young's Risk Behaviors Scale were used in this study. The results of path analysis revealed that self-esteem has a significant mediating role for quality of life and at risk behavior. Also the results showed that quality of life has significant direct and indirect effect for at risk behavior. In sum, high quality of life leads to low at risk behavior and low self-esteem is associate with high level of at risk behavior.

Fuzzy logic” is a multi-value logic rooted in Plato and eastern philosophy. An Iranian scientist, professor of Berkley University, “Professor Lotfali Asgarzade” (1965) called professor “L.A zadeh” raised fuzzy logic for the first time. Despite Aristotle two - valued logic finding yes or no response to generalize to all phenomena (e.g. positivism), fuzzy logic introduces the world as it is. Fuzzy logic is close to nature of human being and it is similar to eastern philosophy and religions. Despite great benefits of fuzzy logic (due to the important role of math in it), the major problem of math logic is that it doesn’t produce intellectual models of human being as intellectual models of people are mostly intuitional and math cannot perceive its complexities. In fuzzy method, both quantitative and qualitative approaches exist together and this method is a bridge between qualitative and quantitative method.

The college learning effectiveness inventory (CLEI), a new assessment tool identifying personal variables important to college student success, was constructed using empirical approaches grounded in a conceptual model. The purpose of this study is the examination of validity and reliability of college learning effectiveness inventory, CLEI (Kim, 2008), in the Iranian students population. The questionnaire is administrated on the 400 students of Islamic Azad University of Dezful branch. The psychometric properties are determined by the appropriate statistical methods. The Alpha coefficients estimated in the four subscales between 0.68 and 0.79. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the model of six scales of the questionnaire have an acceptable fit to the data. In the basis of the calculated psychometrics properties, this instrument (college learning effectiveness inventory, CLEI) can be used by academic counselors and advisors for determining learning weaknesses and strengths in the students learning.
