The aim of this study was investigating the relationship between epistemological beliefs and educational burnout, by respect of the mediating role of self-regulation learning and achievement goals. 384 students of Shiraz Payame-Noor University were randomly selected through multistage cluster sampling. They then, answered to a questionnaire composed of self-regulation learning, epistemological beliefs, achievement goals and educational burnout scales. Conceptual model was analysed by AMOS. The results showed that achievement goals and self-regulation learning have a mediating role between the Epistemological Beliefs and educational burnout at level p Keywords: self-regulation learning, achievement goals, Epistemological Beliefs, educational burnout.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure of work ethics in students. To this end, 715 students from universities of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Islamic Azad, Persian Gulf, Isfahan, Lorestan, Bojnourd, Hamedan Alvand and Hamedan Ganjnameh participated in the research and completed the research questionnaires. The principal components exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation on Protestant work ethic items and principal axis factoring exploratory factors analysis with promax rotation on Islamic work ethic items confirmed the five-factor and the six-factor solutions, respectively. The factor analysis on the 65 items of protestant work ethic revealed that the five-factor solution explained about 45% of the variance of data, and based on the content of items loaded on each factor, the factors were labeled as follow: hard work, work centrality, leisure time, self-reliance, and morality. Factor analysis on 43 Islamic work ethic items found that the six-factor solution explains about 44% of the variance of data, and according to the content of the items loaded on each factor, the factors were labeled as: centrality of work / Hard work, work and community / justice, cooperation and consultation, importance of work, importance of production and economic activities, and avoiding waste of time. The correlation coefficients between the obtained dimensions confirmed the relative independence of the factors. In addition, both Islamic and Protestant work ethics questionnaires had a high degree of internal consistency. Overall, the results showed that Islamic work ethic and protestant work ethics are multi-dimensional structures.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3) to improve the math performance of students with Dyscalculia. Materials and Methods: The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population included all elementary school students with Dyscalculia in Tehran, which among them through available sampling students with math disorder in elementary schools in Tehran district 1 were selected. And randomly assigned to two experimental groups (5 people) and control (5 people). The experimental group underwent 25 sessions-Each 45 minutes-of the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3). The tools used in this study included the Wechsler Intelligence Scale of Children and the Iranian Key Math Test. Results: The results of covariance analysis reflects the impact of the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3) to improve mathematics achievement of children with Dyscalculia (P<0. 05(. In other words, the mean scores of the students in the experimental group in the post test were significantly higher than the mean scores of the control group. Conclusion: It seems that the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3) can improve the mathematical performance of students with Dyscalculia. Keyword: Students with Dyscalculia, the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3), mathematical functions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of narrative therapy on early maladaptive schemas, increase of quality of life and marital satisfaction in couples applying for divorce in Shiraz. The research method was experimental (applied) and applied. 30 couples on the verge of divorce participated in a simple random sampling method. For data collection, the narrative therapy protocol, the scale of the initial maladaptive schemas, the quality of life questionnaire, and Enrich's marital satisfaction scale were used. The findings showed that according to the results of the analysis of covariance, it can be seen that the F index for the dimensions of emancipation, mistrust, inability, insecurity, vulnerability, shame, self-sacrifice, self-discipline, failure, social alienation and occupation at the level of 0/001 is meaningful. The results of the research show that narrative therapy has a significant effect on early maladaptive schemas in couples applying for divorce in Shiraz. Keywords: Therapeutic narratives, early maladaptive schemas, quality of life, marital satisfaction.

this study aimed to determine investigating the causal relationship between mental health, lifestyle, life skills and quality of marital life with mediation of communication beliefs, forgiveness and premarital expectations among university staff and higher education centers in Bandar Abbas. In this descriptive-correlational study, the statistical population was all the staff of universities and higher education centers of Hormozgan province. 297 male and female subjects from the universities of Hormozgan province were selected as the sample. The instruments used in this study were GHQ, Life Style Questionnaire (LSQ), Life Skills Questionnaire, LSI-FFI Short Form, Communication Beliefs (RBQ), Forgiveness Questionnaire (FFS), Previous Expectations The Marriage (MES) was the revised version of the Marriage Quality of Life Scale (RADS). The proposed model evaluation was performed using path analysis. The results indicate that marital expectations predict communication beliefs and forgiveness. The standard coefficient of the marriage expectations pathway on communication beliefs is 0. 2 and the standard coefficient of the marriage expectation path for forgiveness is 0. 26. Therefore, marital expectations, in addition to direct impact on quality of marital life, indirectly predict the quality of marital life through communication beliefs and forgiveness. Research variables explain 53% of variance in marital quality of life. In addition, health, life style, life skills and marital expectations variables account for 42 percent of the variance of forgiveness and 59 percent of variance in communication beliefs. Health, life style and life skills explains 36 percent of the variance of marital expectations.

The purpose of this research is the survey of relation between sustainable ethical leadership competencies and sustainable development outcomes with the mediator role of sustainable ethical leadership functions. The method was descriptive-correlation and the population was head of the faculties of Shiraz University and Shiraz university of Technology and the participants were faculty members of these universities. 334 faculty members were selected through stratified sampling. For collecting the data the researcher-made sustainable ethical leadership scale was used. The construct and content validity is confirmed by case analysis and factor analysis and the reliability by Cronbach's Alpha. In analysis of data, the correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used with Amos 23 & SPSS 23. The result showed that the model had goodness-of-fit. The sustainable ethical leadership competencies were the predictors of the functions, it didn't predict the outcomes directly; Sustainable ethical leadership had significant mediator role in that relation.

The present survey attempts to investigate The effectiveness of physical activity that is inconsistent with Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) to improve it. Therefore, a sample of 50 people including two sub-groups were randomly selected, using cluster sampling method among students suffering from decreasing attention deficit in Tehran: : an examining group including 25 people were put into Pilates physical activity and a control group including that had no physical activity. The required information were gathered by the means of SNAP-IV and CBCL questionnaires for students aged 6 to 18. In order to analyze the obtained information, in addition to descriptive statistics, we also used deductive statistics including the analysis of multiple variable covariance (MANCOVA), alongside examining the congruity of the presumed regression coefficients as well as examining the congruity of the presumed in-group variance, using Levin and Shapiro-Willck tests to study the normality of the distributed data. The results show that physical activity that is inconsistent with Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder (Pilates), have a positive effect on decreasing Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder syndroms.

The purpose of present study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral group therapy and acceptance and commitment group therapy on reducing of social anxiety symptoms in university students with social anxiety disorder. In this research, a semi-experimental interventional method was used using two groups of experimental and one control group. A sample of 45 students with social anxiety disorder was selected by convenience sampling method and then randomly assigned to two experimental and one control groups. Participants responded to the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) before and after interventions. The pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed using covariance test. The results showed that, both treatment groups outperformed control group, with no differences observed between CBT group and ACT group. Although ACT group slightly outperformed CBT group but the difference was not statistically significance. Findings shows that the two therapeutic approaches are equally effective in reducing the symptoms of social anxiety, and ACT can be a good alternative CBT in the treatment of social anxiety disorder.
