Method: ten parents (father or mother) with schizophrenic children were selected using sampling methods, and were compared with ten parents of normal children who were similarly selected using sampling methods. Once the subjects were selected, Rorschach test was implemented on parents in both groups, and after the participants’ protocols were coded, the Rorschach ego impairment index, and the grade for each subject was calculated in the index. The results were analyzed using t-test for significance of the difference between independent means. Findings: findings indicate that the level of ego impairment in parents with schizophrenic children is significantly higher than that in parents with normal children.

This research is aimed at comparing the effect of critical thinking on the decision-making process in scientific and social elites. In this causal- comparative study, the sample was selected via cluster and purposive sampling. The ability of critical thinking, which has previously been created, is measured by stimulating analytical, inferential, and evaluative thinking skills during the group and strategic decision-making process and social conflicts. The major findings of this study indicate that critical thinking and decision making skills were more in scientific elite than social ones, and the effect of critical thinking on the decision-making process in scientific elites is significant. Also, the inferential thinking explains 11% of the decision-making process.

This study is concerned with the moderating role of life satisfaction in the relationship between resiliency and general health in a sample of students. 75 students from among those studying at the Islamic Azad University of Shahr-e-Ray (65 girls and 10 boys) were involved in this study and asked to complete Ego Resiliency Scale (ERS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The research results indicate that there is a significant negative correlation between resiliency and satisfaction with life and the general health problems. Results of the analysis carried out on the chief and moderating effects based on the structural equations suggest that satisfaction with life could moderate the relationship between resiliency and general health problems of the students. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the relation between satisfaction with life and resiliency and genera health is not merely a simple one and the interaction between different variables could differently influence general health.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of narrative therapy on divorce tendency and its components. The research method is semi experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of this study included all married women aged 15 to 19 years attending secondary school in Neishabour, in the academic year 2016-2017. The statistical sample of the study included 16 people who had a high score in the Rusbult-Johnson-Morrow Divorce Questionnaire (1986) and volunteered for attending the sessions and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control group. Then the narrative therapy approach was performed individually in 9 steps for the experimental group. Finally, the post-test was taken from both the experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance analysis of differential scores. Findings show that narrative therapy has been effective in reducing the tendency toward divorce in the experimental group (p<0/05; F=92/641). The implementation of therapeutic narratives individually reduced the components of tendency to withdraw from relationship and neglect. It also increased the dimensions of expressing feelings and loyalty. According to research findings, this approach can be utilized not only to improve relationships but also to reduce divorce rates in the community.

Metacognition is one of the highest level cognitive process which has positive association with other cognitive function. On the other hand, it is considered as one of the basic factor in most psychopathological conditions .The purpose of this study was to investigate any possible inhibitory or facilitatory role of metacognitive components of worry. In this correlation study, first,318 high school students were chosen by cluster sampling method from 6 educational regions of Tehran.Then, They were asked to fill in the following questionnaires: Wells & Cartwright ñ Hatton metacognitive beliefs questionnaire (2004), O'nell&Abedi metacognitive State questionnaire (1996) and Meyer et al worry questionnaire (1990). Separate sets of correlation and stepwise multiple regression analyses showed that there was a positive correlation between metacognitive beliefs and worry. On the other hand ,there was a negative relationship between metacognitive state and worry. Four metacognitive components (uncontrollability, self- monitoring, need to control and cognitive competence) predict %46 of variance of worry. It was also shown that uncontrollability ,need to control and cognitive competence were positively correlated with worry, whilst self- monitoring was negatively correlated with worry. According to the findings of the present study, metacognitive beliefs and metacognitive state are both associated with worry in a different way. However, manipulation of metacognitive components using interventional training would reduce and control worry in worriers

Advancement in information technology and communication are the tools that improve the relationship between organizations and stakeholders. In fact, technological advancement has changed the boundary of traditional jobs in terms of period of time and place that a task should be accomplished. Teleworking is one of these changes that is based on using computer to handle the tasks out of the office. Current study evaluated job satisfaction and productivity of teleworking and non-teleworking employees in a statistical population of all the staff of Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare by adapting Dante’s job satisfaction questionnaire and Hersi and Gold Smith productivity questionnaire to compare a sample of 240 people that was chosen by random, consisted of 120 in-office staff and 120 telecommunication staff working in this Ministry. The research method used was descriptive and the data were analyzed by applying the discriminate function. The results illustrate that the achieved discriminate function in both teleworking and non-teleworking employees have the suitable distinguishing power to predict the variance, also the average of job satisfaction and job productivity in teleworkers are more than those of non-teleworkers.
