The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of time management training on quality of life, behavioral delay and decision making in secondary school students. The design of this semi-experimental study was pre-test-posttest with unequal control group. The statistical population of the study included all secondary school students in Islamshahr in the academic year of 97-96. The research sample consisted of 30 students (15 control and 15 test subjects) who were selected through targeted sampling. Quality of life questionnaire (QOL) (1989), Solomon and Roth Blum (1984), and Akhbarizadeh's decision quality questionnaire (1394) were used to collect data. After the pre-test, time management training was provided to the experimental group during 8 sessions of 90 minutes (two sessions per week). After the end of time management education, both post-test groups were taken. For data analysis, covariance analysis was used. The results showed that time management education was effective on quality of life, depression and behavioral decision of second grade students (P <0.05).

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.
