Introduction: The purpose of this research was a comparison of emotional working memory capacity in monolingual (Persian) and bilingual (Armenian-Persian) girls aged 7 to 9 years and 11 months and 29 days. Method: The statistical population of the current study included elementary school girls aged 7 to 9 years and 11 months and 29 days in the second semester of the 1401-1402 school in Tehran. The statistical sample included 30 monolingual students (Persian) and 30 bilingual students (Armenian-Persian) who were selected among the first to third- grade students of public schools and the available sampling method. In this research, the information was processed by children's emotional working memory capacity test and number capacity test (reading forward and reverse digits). The data were analyzed by the Kolmogorov Smirnov, the Independent Samples test to compare two groups and logistic regression in IBM SPSS STATISTICS21 software. Findings: The results showed that there is a significant difference between monolingual and bilingual children in the age groups between 7 years and 6 months and 8 years and 11 months and 29 days (p<0.05), but no significant difference was observed in the other age groups (p>0.05). Also, the aging (by one unit) reduces by about 80.5% in the difference between the scores of monolingual and bilingual people (p>0.01). Conclusion: According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that bilingualism is more effective than monolingualism in the capacity of emotional working memory and cognitive-emotional functions of children, and it should be taken into account in educational and business planning.

Introduction: This research was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between the gender role of androgyny and women's sexual function through the mediation of social exchange styles. Methods: The present study was a correlational descriptive study. The statistical population included all married women who lived in Tehran, through an online invitation, Bem's gender roles scale (1981), women's sexual function scale (Rosen et al., 2000) and Social Exchange Styles Scale (Leybman etai., 2011) were used as tools. Results: The results showed that sexual function has a significant negative relationship with the Benefit-seeking exchange style and a significant positive relationship with the overinvestment exchange style. Also, there is a negative and significant correlation between the gender role of androgyny, with the exchange styles of Benefit-seeking and overinvestment. Also, the fit indices indicate the good fit of the proposed model with the data. The results of the bootstrap test also showed that the Benefit-seekingexchange style (β=0.300) and the overinvestment exchange style (β=-0.280) have a significant mediating role in the relationship between the androgynous gender pattern and sexual performance. Conclusion: According to the results, in order to improve sexual performance, attention should be paid to social exchange styles.The findings of the pr esent study provide a useful framework for identifying the influential components in the field of social psychology in women's sexual function that should be considered in in research and clinical interventions programs.
