The purpose of this research was to investigate Attentional control and rumination in people with Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder and normal people. Method of research was ex post facto. The statistical population of the present research comprised the patient with OCD referred to psychiatric clinics in the Tehran city (Iran). The research sample consisted of 30 patients with OCD and 30 people without psychological disorder who were selected by available sampling method. Maudsly obsessive compulsive inventory (Rachman and Hodgson, 1977), Attentional Control Scale (Derryberry and Reed, 2002) and Ruminative Response Scale (Nolen-Hoeksema and Marrow 1991) were used to gather data. Data were analyzed by Multiple analyze of variance (MONOVA). The result of independent t-test indicated that people with OCD have more rumination and less attentional control rather than normal people.

This research for aimed of investigating the effect of dietary and reflexology over premenstrual syndrome symptoms relief. With this in mind 100 sample were randomly selected out of IAU students. After early screening by individual data questionnaire, twenty-four hour diet recall questionnaire, weight management scale, foot inspection questionnaire, premenstrual syndrome questionnaire sample members divided into 3 groups, two experiment or dietary and reflexology & one controlled groups. The dietary and reflexology treatment methods began on the experiment groups during the assigned time margin. Then premenstrual syndrome questionnaire was carried out on all sample groups for two consecutive months. The resulting data were analyzed and assessed with repeated measures with sphericity test producing the following outcomes that dietary and reflexology does affect the premenstrual syndrome symptoms relief.

The purpose of this study has considered practicality, reliability, validity and norm finding of Rao‘s social maturity test among a sample group of 500 high school female students of Tehran. The sample was selected by no random method and they answered the questionnaires. The questionnaire was used in this study is made of 90 questions. The reliability coefficient of Cronbach‘s Alpha was equal to 0.833 In order to determine inventory validity the oblique analysis was used. Results showed that 10 factors determine 29.115 of the whole variance of variables. These factors are as follows: 1- lack of self, 2-domination, 3- trust in others, 4- laches, 5- Timidity, 6- Variety-seeking, 7- Interest of Justice and Selfishness and 8- Benevolence, 9- Carefree, 10- Grandiosity. The scale was correlated with the social adjustment test. Correlation of social adjustment and social maturity of questionnaires that contains 90 questions was calculated on a sample of 72 students. Results showed that 5 factors: 1 (Lack of self), 2 (Domination), 4 (Laches), 5 (Timidity), 7 (Interest of justice and selfishness) with social adjustment test (CPI) has correlation and correlation coefficient of Rao ‘s social maturity test with social adjustment test is 0.411.

The purpose of this research was to study relationship between epistemological beliefs (belief in certain knowledge, simplicity of knowledge, omniscient authority, innate ability, quick learning) and academic self-efficacy and identifying the relative contribution of each of them in the predicting surface and deep learning approaches in high school girl students. 311 high school students from Tehran education district 9 were chosen with multi stage cluster sampling, and completed epistemology questionnaire, student efficacy scales and study process questionnaire. Data were analyzed using pearson’s correlation test and stepwise method regression analysis. Results indicated that surface approach was positively related to certain and simplicity of knowledge, innate ability and quick learning but deep approach was negatively related to innate ability and quick learning. The direction of relation between academic self- efficacy and deep approach was positive and with surface approach was negative. Also results revealed that two subscale of academic self-efficacy (tallent and context) were the meaningful predicting factor of deep approach. In the prediction of surface approach three dimentions of epistemological belief, innate ability in learning, simplicity of knowledge, certain knowledge and academic self- efficacy were statistically meaningful.

A fifty six item questionnaire administered over a group of 795 University students (563 females, 177 males and, 55 unidentified) selected randomly, based on proportional stratified random sampling method, from all of the Islamic Azad University students in Tehran. The try-out form of the scale was analyzed several times, via conventional factor analysis, using oblique rotations. The homogeneity reliability of the instrument was 0.880, using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient.
