Aim: This study aimed to prepare an Iranian version Of the Persian language and determine the reliability of the Mini-Mental State Pediatric Examination (MMSPE). Method: The Examination was translated into Persian language, and the instructions for its implementation. Some questions were changed to harmonize with the linguistic features and achieve Face validity. The research sample consisted of 40 children with behavioral problems of internalization and externalization and 100 children without these problems with an age range of 7 to 12 years who were selected by available sampling method according to the inclusion criteria. The research tools included The Child Behavior Checklist -Teacher Report Form (CBCL-TRF) of Achenbach & Rescorla (2001) and (MMSPE) of Scarpa and colleagues (2017). Results: The results of Mini-Mental State Pediatric Examination (MMSPE) in a healthy population of 38 total scores, between 24 - 38 with a mean of 34.16 and a standard deviation of 2.79, and a population with problems, between 8 - 27 and with a mean of 18.4 And the standard deviation of 4.97 was obtained. The discriminant validity was based on an independent t-test, and with 95% confidence was observed a significant difference between the cognitive performances of the two groups. In determining the internal reliability of the test, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole test was 0.92. Conclusion: It seems that the Iranian version of (MMSPE) has good capability and reliability and is effective for cognitive screening and prognosis of various psychological and neuropsychological problems in children.

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.

The aim of this study was to investigate the model of predicting job burnout in nurses of Corona ward based on perceived stress mediated by personality type in nurses serving in the medical wards of patients with Covid 19. The research method was descriptive and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study was all nurses working in Imam Khomeini, Sina, Shohada Yaftabad and Atieh hospitals in Tehran in 1399, from which 200 nurses were selected and completed the questionnaires online. The research instruments included Maslash Burnout Scale (1981), Cohen et al. (1983) Perceived Stress Questionnaire and Denolt-D (2000) Personality Type Scale. The results of data analysis showed that the fit indices of the nasal model are in a favorable condition. Perceived stress has a significant direct and indirect effect on burnout (p> 0.05). This means that with increasing perceived stress, the level of burnout increases. Personality type D (negative emotions and social inhibition) on the one hand is affected by perceived stress levels and on the other hand affects the burnout of nurses serving in the medical wards of patients with Covid 19. Therefore, applying perceived stress reduction strategies can reduce nurses 'burnout by promoting nurses' mental health.

Introduction: Examining the cognitive weaknesses of women receiving botulinum (Botox) as well as how to recognize different facial emotions with the premiere hand control by them can be an effective way to treat and improve their emotional recognition. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability to recognize facial emotional states with the premiere hand control in women receiving treatment of botulinum (Botox) and normal women. Method: This is a causal-comparative study. The research population was all women receiving botulinum (Botox) who referred to beauty centers of Rasht in spring of 1397. Using available sampling method, two groups of 46 women who received Botox treatment and normal subjects participated in the study as samples. Ekman and Fraction's facial emotion recognition test and Chapman's Handedness Inventory were used as measurement instruments to determine the recognition of emotions (happiness, sadness, anger) of participants. The results were analyzed throgh SPSS-23 and descriptive statistics and covariance test. Results: The results showed that the ability of the two groups to recognize the emotional states (happiness, sadness and anger) with the premiere hand control is not the same, and there is a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: The ability of women receiving botulin (Botox) to diagnose emotions (happiness, sadness and anger) is weaker than normal people.

Aim: Since organization members are among the most important assets of higher education institutes, surveying and identifying factors associated with these sources which can be effective on their members' performance, have gained increasing importance. Accordingly, the aim of this study was investigating and predicting the cognitive distortions based on irrational beliefs and cognitive fusion in office members of Hamadan Payame Nour University. Method: To conduct the study, using random stratified sampling, a sample consisting of 240 office members of Hamadan Payame Nour University was chosen. Data were gathered through Irrational Beliefs (Jones,1986), Cognitive Distortions (Bek & Weissman, 1978), and Cognitive Fusion (Gillanders, 2010) Questionnaires. To evaluate the relations among variables, Pearson Correlation and Multiple regression were used. Results: The results showed that the irrational beliefs and cognitive fusion correlate positively and significantly and have significant predictive effect on cognitive distortions of Hamadan Payame Nour University office members. Conclusion: According to the results, irrational beliefs and cognitive fusion have predictive role on cognitive distortions; therefore, by educating and management of rational beliefs and effective cognitive factors, cognitive distortions of Hamadan Payame Nour University office members could be reduced.
