Objective: The aim of this study was to comparatively examine the attention and answer control in people with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive disorder.Method: The statistical method was descriptive-analytical of comparative- casual type. The statistical population of this study included 160 persons (120 patients with cognitive disorder and 30 patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) from people referring to Kerman Peivand consultation center since March 2015 to March 2016. The sample included 34 patients with cognitive disorder who were selected by simple sampling method and 30 patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder who were matched with cognitive group in age perspective. For collecting data, the questionnaire of numbers version continuous operation and for data analysis independent t-test was used.Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between scores means of two groups of attention-deficit hyperactivity and cognitive disorder in variable of attention dimensions (readiness, focus and speed) and answer control dimensions (precaution, continuity and perseverance).Conclusion: Therefore, if this disorder is diagnosed accurately in childhood and is treated with suitable methods, irrecoverable risks accession such as dropout, addiction to drugs, reduction of self-confidence, delinquency and aggression in adulthood could be prevented.

Introduction: the aim of the present study reviews the effectiveness of critical thinking training on problem solving styles anddecision making styles.Methods: statistical research community includes all undergraduate students of the Bachelor of the Payame noor University of Tehran in academic year 94-95 who were among 40 students to the methods of random sample selected using multi-stage cluster store with cloud-based research plan of the type before the test – so the test with the control group in a experiment and control groups were appointed (20 students in tests and 20 students in the control group). Interventions relating to the training of critical thinking for a 45 minute training sessions during the two-week meeting on the students Group conducted tests. Used tools, problem-solving style questionnaire Cassidy and long (1996) anddecision making styles questionnaire Scott & Bruce (1995). the data obtained by statistical analysis method of case analysis.Findings: the results of the study showed a significant difference between the groups (MANCOVA). The test results also suggest the existence of a single the difference was significant in both variables.result: the result of the combination of the student's abilities and critical thinking, to maximize it is to promote total decision making styles, logical decision making style and problem solving styles leads. so it can be acknowledged that with the growth and progress of critical thinking as level and capabilities from and effective problem solving, levels total decision making styles, logical decision making style students also will be upgraded. On the other hand non-constructive style avoidance and intuitive problem-solving and decision-making style of avoidance and intuitive other hand, felt.

Objective: The aimed present study was to compare the compare effectiveness of cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies to academic hope in girl and boy students.Method: The present study Quasi-experimental (pre-test and post-test and follow-up design) with the control group. The study population was includes all students in second grade boys and girls of secondary school Khorramabad city in 2015-2016. Required sample in this study were, 56 individuals' girl students and 56 individuals' boy students. The samples in each gender were selected randomly, 28 individuals in the experimental group and 28 individuals in the control group. There for, were student experimental groups both gender, cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies trained. At this time not received training students the control group girl and boy. Ultimately, then each experimental and control group segregation to gender, were imposed to post-test and again two months later both groups were follow-up. The amount academic hope with scale of academic hope Campbell and Cowen (2001), using analysis of variance with repeated measures and t-test with spss-19 were compared.Results: Results showed, significantly increased the mean experimental group academic hope score both gender been compared to control group (p<0.01).Thealso, t-test results showed that among girls and boys students the effect of cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies trained to hope academic, there was a significant difference, the mean hope academic score in among girls more than boys.Conclusion: The cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies training, impact to increase the hope academic.

Teaching is a collection of works that did by teacher for the facilitation or guide of students. The present study aimed to validate and verify factor structure of the Teaching Strenberg Intelligence questionnaire. This inventory devised by Paolo and colleague in 2013. Statistical population included all teachers that working in seven areas of education department in mashhad city at 2014. Of this group, 210 samples were selected through systematic random sampling. For analyzing the data of this research, factor analysis method was used and Cronbach 's alpha. Factor analysis results revealed that this questionnair contains four separate factors including creative, reproductive, analytical, and practical styles. Test reliability coefficient was obtained 0.705 for total scale using Cronbach's alpha. The overall results of the study showed that the Teaching Strenberg Intelligence questionnaire has good internal consistency and can be used as a valid tool for the assessing teaching styles for all teachers.

Objective: A meta-analysis of gender differences and English language learning literature until 2015 is conducted. The present study is an attempt to bring together evidence from a diverse field of methods for investigating gender differences in language processing.Method: In total, 177 studies containing 289 independent gender outcomes were analyzed. Then, 263 effect sizes were calculated for females and 263 effect sizes were calculated for males. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (version 2.0) software was used to perform the statistical analyses.Results: Overall results indicated an effect size of essentially zero on the measure of gender. The statistical analysis yielded a large effect size, but there was no significant difference between male and female learners. Moreover, the analysis of effect sizes for different measures of language ability showed almost all to be small in magnitude. In general, no significant heterogeneity was observed in each subset.Conclusion: Gender differences in verbal abilities and functions related to language processing are not identifiable, if they exist, with the research methods used today. The implications of these findings are discussed, including their implications for theories of gender differences and their relation to the changing gender roles.

Objective: The self-efficacy scale for English language learners (QESE) was devised by Wang (2014) based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory to be applied to school contexts in order to measure English learners' self-efficacy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties this scale.Method: The population included all the senior high school students studying in District One and Two of Hamadan, during the 2015-2016 academic years among whom 408 participants were selected as the sample through multistage cluster sampling.Results: The validation results showed that QESE validity had the values of 0.902, 0.912, and 0.864 using Cronbach's alpha, lambda squared, and Guttman split-half, respectively. Further analysis confirmed the content and construct validity of the QESE. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis, as the primary form, confirmed the four factors of efficacy in reading, efficacy in writing, efficacy in listening, and also speaking efficacy.Conclusion: According to the results, it can be maintained that QESE is a reliable and valid instrument to measure self-efficacy in English learning and it can be used as a useful tool to assessment self-efficacy in English language learners.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare cognitive inhibition in three groups of students with high, normal and low achievement in mathematical.Method: This study was a causal-comparative study. The population of this study included all fifth grade students in 1393-94 in Arak.33 students with high mathematical achievement, 39 students with normal mathematical achievement and 36 students with low mathematical achievement were selected by convenience sampling method. To collect the data, Raven’s IQ test, Conners Teacher Rate Scale, researcher constructed mathematical test and numerical stroop test were used. For analyzing the data, multivariate analysis of variance and follow-up Scheffe tests were used.Results: The results of multivariate analysis showed that there was a significant difference between performance of three groups of students in numerical stroop. Results of follow-up Scheffe test showed the interference score of numerical stroop effect and physical stroop effect in students with normal mathematical achievement was higher than students with high mathematical achievement and the interference score in students with low mathematical achievement was higher than other groups.Conclusion: It can be concluded that students with low mathematical achievement have the lowest performance in cognitive inhibition.

Objective: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between difficulties in emotional regulation and metacognitive beliefs with repetitive negative thinking in high school students.Method: The method of study was correlational. The statistical population present study comprised of all grade high school boy students of Tabriz in 2016-2017 academic years that were studying. A choice sample of the population, using cluster random sampling method, a sample of 353 subjects was chosen. For data collection, the Ehring perseverative thinking questionnaire, Gratz and Roemer Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Wells & Cartwright-Hatton Meta-Cognitive Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.Results: The results showed that exist significant positive relationship between repetitive negative thinking with components of non-acceptance of emotional responses, emotional, difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, lack of emotional clarity and total score difficulties in emotional regulation and no relationship was observed between repetitive negative thinking limited Access to Emotion Regulation Strategies. Also exist significant positive relationship between repetitive negative thinking with positive beliefs about worry, negative beliefs about uncontrollability, cognitive confidence and cognitive self-consciousness and there is no relationship between repetitive negative thinking with need for control. Also regression analysis revealed that the difficulties in emotional regulation, components of nonacceptance of emotional responses, impulse control difficulties, difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior, metacognitive beliefs and component cognitive self-consciousness could positively and significantly predict the repetitive negative thinking in students.Conclusion: The results show that component of difficulty in emotional regulation and metacognitive beliefs considerable part of repetitive negative thinking could explain in students.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine effect of positive thinking skills in the way of group study on positive emotional learning and academic self-regulation in on grade girl high school students.Method: The study method of s up-experimental with design pre-test - post-test with the control group.
