The aim of the present research is to determine the simple relationship between the type of intrusive thoughts (autogenesis-reactive) and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, considering the mediating role of cognitive appraisal, emotional responses and neutralization strategies in non-clinical samples. Therefore, a sample consisting of the Mashhad community (total 509, 346 women, 163 men) and Were examined by The Revised Obsessional Intrusions Inventory (ROII (Purdon & Clark, 1993, 1994)part I , cognitive appraisal, emotional responses and strategies to neutralize intrusive thoughts part II, The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R)(Foa et al., 2002), The obtained data were analyzed based on Pearson correlation and structural equation model test. Research findings have shown that intrusive thoughts are related both directly and indirectly (through cognitive evaluations, emotional responses, and neutralization strategies) to obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Also, the model after the final modification, based on the effect of intrusive thoughts (autogenesis and reactive) on obsessive-compulsive symptoms, considering the mediating role of variables of cognitive appraisal, emotional responses and neutralization strategies in Iranian non-clinical samples It has an acceptable fit with the experimental data.

The present study aimed to present a structural model of self-actualization based on creative thinking and perceived empowerment in students with the mediating role of problem-solving ability. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study included all students of Payam Noor University in Varamin in the academic year 1402-1403. The sample size for structural equation modeling was estimated to be 350 people. The available sample was used to collect research data, and the research tools were the standard questionnaires of self-actualization by Soleimani et al. (1396), creative thinking skills by Wilch and Duval (2002), empowerment by Spritzer (1995), and problem-solving skills by Cassidy and Long (1996). The research data were analyzed at the descriptive statistical level by calculating the mean and standard deviation, and at the inferential statistical level by using Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling using SPSS version 26 and IMOS version 24 software. The research findings showed that the structural model of self-actualization based on creative thinking and perceived empowerment in students with the mediating role of problem-solving ability has a good fit. Also, creative thinking, perceived empowerment, and problem-solving ability have a direct effect on students' self-actualization, and problem-solving ability has a direct effect on students' creative thinking and perceived empowerment. Therefore, according to the research findings, it is suggested that: Factors affecting students' self-actualization be taken into account and universities and higher education centers, while cultivating creative thinking and problem-solving ability in them, increase their perceived empowerment so that capable individuals are trained for the future of the country.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of social capital and personality traits (narcissism, socio-partisan and psychopathy) in predicting subversive behaviors (demolition of public property) in adolescents. Methodology The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of this research includes all male high school students in Ardabil city during the academic year of 2017-2018, 200 of whom were selected by random cluster sampling and were selected by the social capital questionnaire (2005), Dark personality inventory (2010) and researcher-made subversive behaviors (vandalism) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using correlation test and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between social capital and subversive behaviors, and there is a positive and significant relationship between the dark personality of narcissism and machoism with subversive behaviors. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the linear combination of social capital and personality traits (narcissism, socialization, and maxi-ilism) could predict %20 of the variance of subversive behaviors in adolescents. Regarding the role of social capital in reducing subversive behaviors and the direct and significant role of dark-personality traits in predicting subversive behaviors in adolescents, it is suggested to propose ways to strengthen social infrastructure for adolescents, as well as adolescents with dark personality characteristics And prone to malicious behaviors, to be trained.

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between mindfulness and positive thinking with job stress and entrepreneurial self-efficacy among elementary school teachers in Bukan city. The research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population is all elementary school teachers in Bukan city, which is approximately 380 people. The sampling method is simple random method. The sample size was 191 according to the Cochran formula, and after distributing the questionnaire, 185 completed questionnaires were collected. In order to collect data, the mindfulness questionnaires of Bauer et al. (2006), positive thinking of Ingram and Wisnicki (1998), job stress of Philip L. Rice (1992), and entrepreneurial self-efficacy of De Noble et al. (1999) were used, and the validity and reliability of the questionnaires were examined and confirmed. To analyze the data and examine the research hypotheses, descriptive statistics methods such as mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics methods such as population normality and correlation coefficient and univariate and multivariate regression analysis were used, and all these calculations were performed using SPSS software. The results obtained from this study show that there is a significant relationship between mindfulness and positive thinking with job stress and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. In terms of mindfulness and positive thinking, there is a positive relationship with entrepreneurial self-efficacy and a negative relationship with job stress. So we conclude that mindfulness and positive thinking increase entrepreneurial self-efficacy and reduce employee job stress.

This study aimed to present a causal model of digital narcissism among social media users based on physical self-esteem, social competence, and social identity. The research employed a correlational method using structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population included all high school students in Maragheh City in 2024, totaling 4500 individuals. The sample size was determined to be 381 participants based on Morgan's table. Participants were selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. Data collection instruments included the Digital Narcissism Questionnaire (ONPI), the Physical Self-Esteem Scale (CPSES), the Social Identity Questionnaire (SIQ), and the Social Competence Questionnaire (SCQ). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation, bootstrap methods, and the Sobel test in SPSS and AMOS software version 26. The findings revealed that physical self-esteem and social identity, with the mediating role of social competence, significantly contributed to the explanation of digital narcissism in the proposed model. Altogether, the variables in the model explained 50% of the variance in users' digital narcissism. The direct effects of social identity (-0.33), social competence (-0.26), and physical self-esteem (-0.43) on digital narcissism were significant. Additionally, the indirect effects of physical self-esteem (t-value = -2.01) and social identity (t-value = -2.36) through social competence were also statistically significant. Given the findings, it can be concluded that physical self-esteem, social identity, and social competence have a substantial impact on digital narcissism among users. These factors should be considered in addressing the challenges of digital narcissism and enhancing the quality of online social interactions.
