This research was conducted to study the spiritual ontology of human from Rumi's perspective in Masnavi-I Ma'navi . Spirit as a human being regardless of his being can not be assumed. On the other hand, Masnavi-I Ma'navi can be called human spiritual ontology which is full of talks about human existance. Rumi is also an intellectual ontologist and holistic scientist who critisized about reduction approaches of human existence. The researcher through a library search and looking up in Masnavi-I Ma'nav'si using Jafari's Kashfo-al-abyat, extracted the related spiritual ontology verses and categorized them into five categories. In this study, Rumi's views on oneness , holism , death, dialectical awareness, dynamism, renovation and attraction as basis of human existence were discussed from psychological perspective. On study of Rumi's poems in "Parrot and Merchant" story and in six volumes of " Masnavi" the human being is introduced as a united whole who is constantly changing .Ontology is based on paradoxes and death is not the end but a change from one state to another. The acting force in life is attraction and is the force that leads us to we are and what we want. In Rumi's spiritual ontology oneness, holism, death, dialectical awareness, dynamism, renovation and attraction are all included. Looking to these basics from Psychological perspective, one can come up with foundations for native epistemology and ontology for psychology and mental health system based on original persian ñ Islamic sources.

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

The present research was conducted to develop instructional programs of Islamic morals & existential consciousness enhancement & compare their effectiveness on life satisfaction improvement. First of all, for formulating existential program ,different texts were monitored and common concepts among existential theoreticians specially May, Yalom & Frankle were chosen as a basis of the work. Corryís pattern of existential psychotherapy(2005c) was used for various stages of the program. For formulating Islamic morals program, the researcher used jame olsaadat by Naraghy (because of its relatively integrated theory & systematic structure), Javady e Amoly & Motahharysí ideas. The pattern for stages of this program is derived from change stages in Systems of Psychotherapy by Prochaska & Norcross (1994). The participants (45 students from Allameh Tabatabai University, the Faculty of psychology and education) randomly divided into 3 groups: existential, moral & control group. While experimental groups were given their instructional programs(Islamic morals and existential programs), no intervention was used for the control group. The methodology of this research was experimental. Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS, Diener et al., 1985, with reliability 0/88 in Iran.) was used to measure life satisfaction. The results demonstrates that Islamic morals consciousness enhancement program improved life satisfaction but existential consciousness enhancement program was not effective .There was not any meaningful difference between experimental and Islamic morals group
