The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy on the Cognitive flexibility and cognitive regulation of emotion in adolescents with social anxiety. This study was a semi-experimental study that was conducted with teenagers with social anxiety in Shahrekord City. 30 people were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Both groups completed the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski and Kraaij, 2006) and the Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (Dennis and Vander Wal, 2010) as a pre-test, and after teaching the experimental group 8 sessions of emotion-focused therapy, the two groups were again given the above questionnaires as After the test, they responded. The results of the covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of Cognitive flexibility (p < 0.0001 and F = 25.16). And emotion-focused therapy has increased Cognitive flexibility scores in the experimental group. Also, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of cognitive regulation of emotion (p < 0.0001 and F = 52.85), and the treatment focused on emotion increased the scores of cognitive regulation of emotion in the experimental group. Therefore, it can be concluded that emotion-focused therapy has an effect on the cognitive regulation of emotions and Cognitive flexibility. Therefore, this intervention can be used to increase cognitive flexibility and cognitive regulation of emotion in students with social anxiety.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a training package on motivational strategies, and to compare the effectiveness of motivational strategies training and emotion regulation training on the social development of female high school students. In the development phase of the training package, appropriate content objectives were first prepared, and after receiving expert feedback, the training package was finalized. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) for all objectives in this training package were high. Therefore, the motivational strategies training package was developed in 8 ninety-minute sessions. In the effectiveness evaluation section, a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group and follow-up was used. The statistical population of this study included all female students studying in high school in Foladshahr in the academic year 1402-1403. The data collection tool was the Weissman Social Development Questionnaire. For data analysis, repeated measures ANOVA was used to examine the significant difference in means between the groups. The results showed that the mean scores of the social development variable were significantly different between the experimental and control groups (F=223.57, P=0.000, effect size=0.732), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Additionally, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the variables in the experimental and control groups (P<0.05), indicating that the effectiveness of both motivational strategies training and emotion regulation training on social development and its components was confirmed. The motivational strategies training method was significantly more effective than the emotion regulation method in promoting social development, and the sustainability of the training effect was confirmed.

Purpose: Since there is a positive relationship between executive functions and theory of mind with moral judgment, in the current research, the aim is to investigate the relationship between executive functions and moral judgment with regard to the mediating role of theory of mind.Method: This descriptive-correlation study was based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this research was 9 to 11-year-old children of Ilam City, and 370 of them were selected by convenience sampling method. Sinha and Verma's (1971) moral judgment questionnaire, Ghamrani et al.'s (2006) theory of mind, and Barkley's (2012) executive functions were used to collect information. The data were analyzed by Spearman's correlation and structural equation modeling using SPSS version 24 and Smart PLS version 3 software.Findings: The findings showed that there is a relationship between executive functions and moral judgment (β=0/246 % & P<0/05), executive functions and theory of mind (β=0/545 % & P<0/05), and theory of mind and moral judgment (β=0/494 % & P<0/05). Also, the mediating role of the theory of mind in the relationship between executive functions and moral judgment (β=0/269 % & P<0/05) was confirmed.Conclusion: Executive function is the underlying cognitive capacity that enables and facilitates higher level cognition such as reasoning and decision making in moral situations. Also, the executive function has an effect on improving the level of the theory of mind. Therefore, in order to improve moral judgment, intervention programs that target the development of executive functions should be given more attention; Because it is possible to provide a suitable platform for improving the level of the theory of mind through the improvement of executive functions, and the improvement of the theory of mind will affect the progress of moral judgments.

This research was basic in terms of purpose, and qualitative research based on the grounded theory method based on the data collection. According to the purpose of the research, verse was considered as the unit of analysis. The statistical population included the complete text of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the eight-volume revision of Jalal Khaleghi Motlagh. Statistical analysis based on the process of open coding, axial coding and combined coding was performed in MAXQUDA 2018. In order to validate the designed model, the point of view of experts and researchers was used with the purposeful sampling method. The reliability of the coding of the components was found to be 0.91 based on the Kappa index. The findings showed that wise social relationship in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh consists of 7 components of peaceful coexistence with others, constructive and effective speech in interpersonal relationship, development-center and balanced relationship, understanding the values and status of the family, verbal and practical Helping and help-seeking, courageous and assertiveness in expressing the right opinion and action, concern and social awareness. As a result, due to the wide dimensions and comprehensiveness of the definition of wise social relationship, it is suggested to researchers to focus on the dimensions of the concept of wise social relationship identified in this study in order to construct reliable tools and training packages for wise relationship skills.

Introduction: Job burnout in teachers caused by technostress or technology-related stress during the virtual teaching period of COVID-19 pandemic is one of the new global societal damages. The aim of this study was to develop a structural model of job burnout based on technostress with the mediating role of psychological characteristics, organizational commitment, and perceived social support. Research Method: The statistical population consisted of elementary school teachers in the city of Ferdowsi who were teaching online during the COVID-19 pandemic and 84 of them were selected as the available sample using the sampling method. To collect data, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (1981), the Technostress Supporters and Colleagues Questionnaire (2008), the Perceived Social Support from Friends and Colleagues Questionnaire (1998), and the Allen and Meyer Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (1990) were used. The collected data were analyzed using 23AMOS and 23SPSS software. Results: The results showed that perceived social support and job commitment did not have a significant mediating role in predicting job burnout. Therefore, it can be concluded that technostress directly plays a significant role in predicting job burnout, but technostress does not have a significant contribution to predicting job burnout with the mediating role of perceived social support and organizational commitment. Additionally, the results indicated that gender and teaching experience did not have a significant effect on job burnout. However, there was a significant difference between the average job burnout in individuals of different ages. Hence, age has a significant effect on job burnout.

The current research aimed to test the proposed model of prosocial behaviors based on basic needs with the mediating role of online game addiction. The research method was correlation and path analysis type. The statistical population included the students of Bu Ali-Sina University in Hamadan in the academic year of 2021-2022, and a sample of 388 people was selected using the cluster random method. The research tools included the basic psychological needs of LaGuardia et al. (2000), the prosocial behaviors of Caprara et al. (2005), and addiction to online game addiction of Khazal et al. (2007) scales. To analyze the data, the path analysis method was used using SPSS version 22 and LISREL version 8.8 software. The results showed that the proposed research model had a good fit with the data. The results showed that the direct effect of basic psychological needs on game addiction was negative and significant and on prosocial behaviors was positive and significant (p<0.01). The effect of game addiction on prosocial behaviors was negative and significant (p<0.01). Also, the results showed that game addiction had a significant mediating role in the relationship between basic psychological needs and prosocial behavior (p<0.01). According to the results of the research, basic needs can play a role in reducing addiction to online games, and reducing the amount of reliance on games is effective in improving prosocial behaviors.
