The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of emotion-based parent-child interaction therapy on improving executive functions. The present study was quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of the study included all boys with depression disorder at the age range of 4 to 5.5 years in Isfahan. Thirty children and parents were selected by purposeful sampling method and were randomly assigned to two equal groups. Preschool Children Emotion Checklist (Lobby et al., 2004) and the Parents' Reaction to Child's Negative Emotions Scale (Mirabel, 2015) were used to collect data. The mentioned therapy was implemented in 14 sessions of 1 hour per week for the subjects in the experimental group, but the control group did not receive any treatment. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance. The results of analysis of covariance showed that emotion-oriented parent-child interactive therapy had a significant effect on improving executive functions with a coefficient of 0.81, also this treatment on the components of executive functions including change, inhibition, planning, emotional control And working memory has been effective. Therefore, parent-child interactive therapy focused emotional on parent's reactions can be used as a therapeutic strategy for parents to improve executive functions.

Objective: Prosocial behavior is one of the structures that has been seriously considered in social psychology and can be influenced by various factors. Hence, the purpose of this study was develop a structural model to explain prosocial behaviors based on belonging motivation and sensitivity to rejection mediated by social trust. Method: The research method was correlational and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study was all students of Bu Ali Sina University in the academic year 1399-1400, that 400 people was selected by random cluster sampling. The instruments used in this study was include scales of Caprara et al. (2005) prosocial behavior, Saffarinia & Sharif (2010) social trust, affiliation motivation of Cuadrado et al. (2016) and Danny and Foldman (1996) rejection sensitivity. Results: The results showed that the conceptual model developed had a good fit with the data. The results of structural relationships of the model showed that affiliation motivation and rejection sensitivity have a direct and significant effect on social trust (p <0.01) and prosocial behavior (p <0.01). Also, social trust had a direct and significant effect on prosocial behavior (p <0.01). The results of indirect relationships showed that affiliation motivation and rejection sensitivity mediated by social trust have a significant effect on prosocial behavior (p <0.01). Conclusion: Based on the results, the affiliation motivation and the sensitivity to rejection affect social trust and prosocial behaviors. Therefore, by developing programs to educate and increase affiliation motivation and reduce sensitivity to rejection in individuals, we can expect improvement in their prosocial behaviors.

Introduction: Social perspective-taking is one of the essential skills for social relationships and is rooted in cognitive abilities. There is no scale to measure this skill exclusively and the available tools only measure social perspective-taking as a sub-scale. One of the major barriers to basic research in psychology fields is lack of standardized tests; therefore, the main aim of this study was introducing the social perspective taking and the codification and validation of its scale. Method: To accomplish the aims, 750 undergraduate students of Kurdistan province filled out the researcher made questionnaire of Social Perspective Taking. They also filled out The Oxford Happiness Scale and Beck Anxiety scale for assessing the discriminate validity. Data were analyzed by Pearson Correlation coefficient, Cronbach alpha and factor analysis. Results: The results showed that there is significant positive relationship between happiness and social perspective taking and significant negative relationship between anxiety and social perspective taking. These results indicated the concurrent validity of the scale. Also, reliability of the social perspective taking scale measured by Cronbach alpha was 0/78. Factor analysis of social perspective taking extracted 4 factors including: cognitive prediction of others, understanding others perspective, put him/herself on others place, and respecting differences. Conclusion: Preliminary estimates showed that the Social Perspective Taking Scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing social perspective-taking skills.
