THIS STUDY AIMED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY OF STUDENTS' SELFREGULATION STRATEGIES HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT USING PRE-TEST AND POST-TEST CONTROL AND SELF-REGULATION STRATEGIES ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM, THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUPWERE STUDIED. THE SUBJECTS WERE 20 STUDENTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES IN 1392 DASHTI TOWNSHIP SELECTED METHOD AND RANDOMLY DIVIDED INTO CONTROL AND EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP RECEIVED 10 SESSIONS OF TRAINING UNDER SELF-REGULATION STRATEGIES. DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY SUBJECTS BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING WAS ASSESSED USING THE BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY AND THE ZUNG ANXIETY INVENTORY.COLLECTED DATA USING MULTIPLE COVARIANCES (MANCOVA) WERE STUDIED. THE RESULTS OF THE PRESENT STUDY THE MAJORITY OF SUBJECTS IN BOTH STUDY GROUPS CONTROL AND SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY LEVELS AND AFTER TRAINING IN THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE OBSERVED IN THE CONTROL GROUP.THEREFORE, THE RESULTS CAN BE SAID THAT SELF-REGULATION LEARNING STRATEGIES THE REDUCTION OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AFFECTS STUDENTS.

THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENT STUDY IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE ERRORS IN A CORPUS OF 20 ESSAYS WRITTEN BY EFLUNIVERSITY STUDENTS STUDYING ENGLISH AT AZAD UNIVERSITY OF FARSAN. ALL THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE STUDY ARE MALE STUDENTS. THE INSTRUMENT USED FOR THIS STUDY WAS PARTICIPANTS’WRITTEN ESSAYS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE. ALL OF THE ERRORS IN THESE ESSAYS WERE IDENTIFIED AND CLASSIFIED INTO DIFFERENT CATEGORIZATIONS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE EFL UNIVERSITY STUDENTSIN THIS STUDY COMMITTED TEN COMMON ERRORS. THESE ERRORS ARE: (1) VERB TENSE, (2) WORD ORDER, (3) SINGULAR/PLURAL FORM, (4) SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT, (5) DOUBLE NEGATIVES, (6) SPELLINGS, (7) CAPITALIZATION, (8) ARTICLES (9) SENTENCE FRAGMENTS AND (10) PREPOSITIONS. ON THE BASIS OF THESE RESULTS, A GROUP OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO FURTHER RESEARCH ARE SUGGESTED AND SOME PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS WHICH MIGHT ASSIST ESL/EFL TEACHERS WITH SOME HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AND TEACHING STRATEGIES THAT WILL REDUCE FUTURE PROBLEMS REGARDING WRITING ENGLISH ESSAYS AMONG ARAB LEARNERS.

THE GOAL OF THE PRESENT RESEARCH IS TO EXAMINE THE COMPARED BETWEEN EDUCATION LEVEL AND GENDER WITH SEXUAL SATISFACTION. THE METHOD OF THIS RESEARCH IS DESCRIPTIVE ONE AND OF COMPARED CAUSES KIND.STATISTICAL POPULATION INCLUDES THE MARRIED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF BABOL. RESEARCH SAMPLE INCLUDES 100 COUPLES WHO WERE SELECTED BY MULTI-STEP CLUSTERED SAMPLING METHOD.RESEARCH TOOLS INCLUDE: TEST SEXUAL SATISFACTION GOLOMBOK-RUST (GRISS) AND A DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION FORM.DATA WAS ANALYZED USING OF THE METHODS OFAN ANOVA AND FISHER LSD TEST. RESULTS OF THIS STUDY INDICATED THAT, MALES EXPERIENCE HIGHER LEVELS OF SEXUAL SATISFACTION, WHEN COMPARED TO FEMALES. THIS STUDY ALSO REVEALED THAT SUBJECTS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION LEVELS EXPERIENCE GREATER SEXUAL SATISFACTION. A RESULT OF THE CURRENT STUDY ALSO INDICATES THAT, INTERACTION OF EDUCATION LEVEL AND GENDER ALSO DIFFERENCESTHE PERSON’S LEVEL OF SEXUAL SATISFACTION.

BACKGROUND: CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER APPEAR TO HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF EARLYONSET BIPOLAR DISORDER, MOOD DISORDERS AND OTHER PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO COMPARE THE MENTAL HEALTH OF SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH/WITHOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER.METHODS: IN THIS CASE CONTROL STUDY FOLLOWING ONE HUNDRED OFFSPRING AGED 6 TO 12 YEARS WHO HAVE PARENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER AND 200 OFFSPRING OF 163 DEMOGRAPHICALLY MATCHED CONTROL PARENTS. PARENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER WERE RECRUITED FROM FARSHCHIAN PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL IN HAMADAN, IRAN IN 2014. THE PARENT VERSION OF CHILD SYMPTOM INVENTORY-4 QUESTIONNAIRE WAS USED TO MEASURE MENTAL HEALTH. MEAN COMPARISONS WERE PERFORMED USING STUDENT’ST TEST WHILE EFFECT SIZES WERE ESTIMATED BY COHEN’S D COEFFICIENT. THE CHI-SQUARE TEST WAS USED TO ASSESS THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION OF DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES IN BOTH GROUPS.THE SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL WAS CONSIDERED LESS THAN 0.05.RESULTS: THERE WERE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH/WITHOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER ON ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER, OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER, CONDUCT, GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER, SCHIZOPHRENIA, MAJOR DEPRESSION, SEPARATION ANXIETY (P<0.001) AND SOCIAL PHOBIA (P<0.05). OFFSPRING OF PARENTS WITH BP ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS.CONCLUSIONS: THESE FINDINGS SUPPORT THE CAREFULLY EVALUATING AND PROSPECTIVELY FOLLOWING THE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY OF OFFSPRING OF PARENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER ARE CRITICAL FOR EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND TREATMENT.

PLACE-DERIVED IDENTITIES IN THE REAL SPACE BEAR CERTAIN CONNOTATIONS WHICH LEAD IN A SENSE OF LOCALISM, AN IMPORTANT POINT IS THAT IN SPITE OF EXISTENCE OF INTERNET WEBSITES WHICH OPEN THE ENTRY TO A VIRTUAL SPACE FOR THE INDIVIDUALS, THEY MAY CREATE NEW IDENTITIES AND CHALLENGE THE REAL IDENTITIES.THE CURRENT STUDY AIMED AT EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF INTERNET WEBSITES ON THE LOCAL IDENTITY OF ISFAHAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, USING A SAMPLE SIZE OF 281 LOCAL STUDENTS IN ISFAHAN CITY.THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY INDICATED THAT INTERNET WEBSITES HAVE NOT A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON LOCAL IDENTITY OF STUDENTS IN ISFAHAN CITY.

THE PRESENT STUDY HAS BEEN DONE IN ORDER TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF EMPATHY TRAINING WITH ECONTENT MODEL ON DEVELOPING SOCIAL RELATION OF NINE- YEAR- OLD BOYS. THEREFORE, WITH MULTIFLUSTER SAMPLING AND RANDOM MODEL, THIRTY STUDENTS WERE CHOSEN AMONG THE WHOLE THIRD GRADE STUDENTS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN KARAJ (IN IRAN), AND THEY WERE PLACED IN TWO GROUPS OF CONTROL AND EXPERIMENTAL. THE RESEARCH METHOD IS QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRE-TEST AND POST-TEST. THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT IS SOCIAL SKILL QUESTIONNAIRE OF MATSON. A PRE-TEST WAS DONE BY USING THE MENTIONED QUESTIONNAIRE BEFORE INTERVENTION. THEN, EMPATHY TRAINING WITH STORY AND E-GAME WAS DONE FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP DURING TEN SESSIONS OF 45 MINUTES. A WEEK AFTER THE LAST TRAINING SESSION, THE POST-TEST WAS DONE FOR BOTH GROUPS BY USING THE SAME QUESTIONNAIRE. FOR CONSTANT ASSESSMENT, AGAIN THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP ANSWERED SOCIAL SKILL QUESTIONNAIRE 25 DAYS AFTER THE POST-TEST. THE RESULT SHOWED THAT BY USING E-CONTENT, EMPATHY TRAINING LEAD TO SOCIAL RELATION DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN 9-YEAR-OLD BOYS.

INTRODUCTION: DEPRESSION IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS THAT EXERT A HIGH IMPACT ON THE LIFE OF PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THERE ARE MANY TREATMENT METHODS FOR DEPRESSION. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOR THERAPY AND A COMBINATION OF MEDICATION AND COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION.MATERIALS AND METHODS: THIS CLINICAL TRIAL WAS PERFORMED IN ARAK (IRAN) IN 2031.24 CLIENT WITH DYSTHYMIC DISORDER WERE SELECTED AND SUBJECTED TO TWO EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS AND ONE CONTROL GROUP. ALL OF THE PATIENTS COMPLETED THE BECK TEST AND A DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE BEFORE START OF INTERVENTIONS AS PRE-TEST. THE POST-TEST WAS COMPLETED AFTER THE END OF INTERVENTION.RESULTS WERE ANALYZED BY ANOVA BY SPSS-17.RESULTS: FINDINGS SHOWED THAT ALL OF THE METHODS HAVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON IMPROVEMENT OF DEPRESSION, BUT COMBINED THERAPY (COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY+DRUG THERAPY) IS THE BEST.CONCLUSION: ACCORDING TO FINDINGS OF THIS WORK, WE SUGGEST THAT TEAM WORK APPROACH CONSISTS OF PSYCHOLOGISTS AND HEART PSYCHIATRISTS CAN BE SUGGESTED FOR TREATMENT OF THE PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSION.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM WHICH AFFECTS MOSTLY YOUNG, INTELLIGENT AND ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY, AND NO CURE HAS BEEN FOUND FOR IT YET. THIS STUDY WAS AIMED AT EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BEHAVIORAL ACTIVATION TREATMENT (BAT) IN REDUCING DEPRESSION IN FEMALES WITH MS REFERRING TO THE TEHRAN ASSOCIATION FOR MS IN 2014. THE STATISTICAL POPULATION WAS ALL FEMALES REFERRING TO THE TEHRAN ASSOCIATION FOR MS AND THE SAMPLE WAS 30 FEMALES (15 IN EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND 15 IN CONTROL GROUP) SELECTED BY PURPOSEFUL SAMPLING METHOD THEN RANDOM ASSIGNMENT. THIS STUDY WAS A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH (PRE- AND POST-TEST AND FOLLOW-UP WITH THE CONTROL GROUP).THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP RECEIVED 10 GROUP SESSIONS OF BAT. DATA COLLECTION TOOL WAS BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY-EDITION II (BDI-II). THE INVENTORY VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY WAS APPROVED BY DADSETAN AND MANSUR (1990). RAJABI (2001) REPORTED THE CRONBACH'S ALPHA COEFFICIENT FOR THE WHOLE QUESTIONNAIRE AS EQUAL TO 0.87, SPLIT-HALF COEFFICIENT AS EQUAL TO 0.83 AND TEST-RETEST COEFFICIENT AFTER 3 WEEKS AS EQUAL TO 0.49. DATA WAS ANALYZED USING MIXED ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (MIXED ANOVA). THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT BAT COULD REDUCE DEPRESSION IN FEMALES WITH MS, BELONGING TO THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP (F1, 28=25, 391: P=0.000) IN THE POST-TEST AND FOLLOW-UP (F1, 28=52, 330: P=0.000). BAT IMPROVED THEIR MOTIVATION AND SOLIDARITY, AND ULTIMATELY REDUCED THEIR LEVEL OF DEPRESSION THROUGH ENHANCING SELF-MANAGEMENT SKILLS IN PATIENTS WITH MS.
