The present study employs structural equation modeling to assess the fit of a structural model encompassing Phubbing based on Personality Traits with the mediating role of Internet Addiction and Academic Boredom in Generation Z Students. A total of 556 people were surveyed using the cluster sampling method from the research's statistical population, including all Generation Z students (born between 1997 and 2012) studying at Islamic Azad University, Tehran branches, during the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The data collection tools included the Chutbitayasonvand and Douglas General Phubbing Scale (2018), Kimberly Young's Internet Addiction Questionnaire (1988), Costa and McCrae's Five-Factor Personality Inventory (1985), and Sharp et al.'s Academic Boredom Questionnaire (2010). The results of the study showed that the direct path coefficient between the factors of conscientiousness (β = -0.236, P = 0.001) and extraversion (β = -0.071, P = 0.015) with negative phubbing and the path coefficient between its neuroticism factor and phubbing (β = 0.138, P = 0.001) was positive and significant. The path coefficient between Internet addiction and phubbing (β=0.363, P=0.001) on the one hand and the path coefficient between academic boredom and phubbing (β=0.205, P=0.001) on the other hand were positive and significant. The results also showed that both mediating variables of Internet addiction and academic boredom positively mediated the relationship between the neuroticism personality factor and phubbing in Generation Z and negatively and significantly mediated the relationship between other personality factors and phubbing. Therefore, the proposed model, based on the effect of personality traits on phubbing, considering the mediating role of variables of Internet addiction and academic boredom, had an acceptable fit with the experimental data.

Introduction: Vaccines play a critical role in preventing deaths caused by infectious diseases. This study aimed to predict COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance Based on Personality traits, Self-care Behaviors, and Social capital. Methods: The present study is a descriptive and correlational study, which was conducted by office staff in the Ahvaz education organization using an available method. The questionnaires were completed online in the fall of 1400 and the number of people present in this research is 169 people. Were used to collect data from Hexaco 60 questionnaires (Ashton and Lee, 2004), Social capital (Putnam, 2000), self-care behaviors (Pouyanfard, 2020), and a short researcher-made questionnaire (Corona vaccine acceptance). Results: The results of data analyses showed that personality traits (consciousness and neuroticism), Self-care Behaviors, and social capital are the best predictors of COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance. Conclusion: According to the findings, designing programs to increase the vaccination rate and appropriate psychological strategies and techniques is essential to enhancing the responsibility of the community in terms of trust in vaccination and strengthening the behavior of participating in people.

Introduction:This research aimed at explaining self-knowledge based on the components of epistemological beliefs and personality traits. Method: The research method was correlational in this study. The statistical populationof this study included all students of (State, Azad, Applied Science, and non-profit)universitiesof Tehran in the academic year of 2017-18. For this purpose, a total of 400 female students were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The research instrument wereSelf-Knowledge Questionnaire (Ghorbani, Watson & Hargeis, 2003), Five Factor Personality short-form Questionnaire (McCarry & Costa, 1985),and the Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire (Schommer, 1993). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and regression analysis method.Results:The findings of the research showed that there was a significant direct correlation between self-knowledge andpersonality traits (Compatibility and Conscientious) and epistemology beliefs (innate ability andability to understand everything fully)(p < %05). Also, the variables of personality traits (Compatibility and Conscientious) and epistemology beliefs (ability to understand everything fully)were able to explain and predict self-knowledge with beta coefficients of%260, %156,and %150.Conclusion: Since epistemology beliefs (ability to understand everything fully)and personality traits (Compatibility and Conscientious) can explain and predict self-knowledge,it seems that students can improve their self-esteem by promoting such features.

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate academic adjustment based on personality traits and percieved social support with mediating self-regulated learning strategies. Method: 300 male second grade students of a high school in Tehran during 1395-1396 were selected based on randomized stage cluster sampling and answered to Sinha and Singh (1993) academic adjustment, Eysenck (1963) personality traits, Zimth (1988) social support, Pintrich and De Groot(1990) motivational strategies questionnaires. The collected data were analysed by Lisrel software structural equation statistical methods. Result: The result showed that meaningful and positive effect rather leads to more inadjustment. Extroversion (indirectly and with self regulated learning strategies) had a meaningful and positive effect on academic adjustment, that is, by increasing extroversion academic adjustment decreases. Aggression, indirectly and and througout self-regulated learning strategies had a positive and meaningful effect on academic adjustment, that is to say, as aggression increases so does unadjustment. Neuroticism indirectly had a negative and meaningful effect on academic adjustment, in other words, as neuroticism increases so does unadjustment. Extroversion directly had a negative and meaningful effect on academic adjustment, meaning when extroversion increases unadjustment decreases. Aggression directly had a positive and meaningful effect on academic adjustment, meaning as aggression increases so does unadjustment. Conclusion:Social support on the other hand, directly had a negatove and meaningful effect on academic adjustment, in other words, with increasing social support unadjustment decreases as well.

Introduction: According to recent researches, biases in information processing and its relation with other factors such as craving and personality traits play a vital role in the etiology and maintenance of drug dependence disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate the moderator role of personality characteristics on relationship between cognitive biases and craving in opium dependent individuals. Method: To do so, 100 male opiate dependent individuals were selected by convenience sampling. The primary data collection was conducted using Prob Dot task, Memory Recognition task, Word-stem Completion test, Craving Beliefs Questionnaire and Neo big five Personality Scale. The data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. Findings: The results indicated that personality variables moderated the relationship between craving with attentional bias and implicit memory bias, but these factors did not have any effect on the relationship between craving and explicit memory bias. Conclusion: The results showed that automatic cognitive processes such as attention and implicit memory are bottom-up processes and tend to be affected by personality traits, whereas consciousness cognitive processes such as explicit memory is top-down processing and is influenced by individuals’ conception.

Introduction: People’s perception about the world they live in is one of the abilities that can influence their decisions or actions in different situations. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the factors that could affect people’s perception. Method: To do so, 64 students of Payame Noor University were selected using random sampling method. After answering the Personality and Critical Thinking Questionnaires, the subjects watched a film which included a fixed dialogue performed in 4 different situations for 5 minutes. Then, based on the film, they responded to a questionnaire. Results: The findings showed that there is no significant relationship between personality traits and critical thinking. However, there were significant relationships between some personality traits and situation elements. In addition, three cognitive abilities including inductive thinking, evaluation and deduction were associated with the location shown in the film. Finally, the results indicated the significant correlation between thinking with location and people’s perception. Conclusion: This research showed that thinking is essential for perception. In addition, through transferring its elements as information units as well as interfering in the type of employed cognitive ability, situational context affects people's type of conception
