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.

Social relationship is a culture-dependent concept that a precise understanding of its definition and components requires a careful examination of this concept in the cultural context of each society. Therefore, the aim of this this study was redefining the importance of relationship in Iran under the title of wise social relationship based on Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. 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: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of temperamental differences in people's perceptual bias in the two dimensions of animacy (alive/non-alive) and expression of facial emotion (happy/disgust) in morphed images under ambiguous conditions. Method: Four groups, each group consisting of 20 people aged 22-35, with emotional temperament of high and low activation and high and low inhibition, were selected based on Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament (AFECT) scale. Under the same conditions, they performed the task of morphed images in two dimensions of emotion and animacy. The findings were analyzed by t-test and Kruskal-Wallis in SPSS software version 26. Findings: High vs. low activation and high vs. low inhibition temperamental groups are biased in the perception of morphed images with emotional expressions of disgust/happiness but not in animacy. Conclusion: Temperament plays a role in perception of the morphed images with emotional expression of happiness/disgust, but it does not in the animacy dimension.

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.

This study intended to construct and validate a wisdom questionnaire in Iran with regard to its dimensions, categories and components in the context. All above-20 Iranians comprised the population. Using random cluster sampling, 985 Iranians with different ethnic, gender, age and academic backgrounds were selected. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that a 6 dimensional structure of wisdom fits the data. The dimensions were Causal Factors (cognitive skills and abilities, emotional intelligence, and personality characteristics), Core Category (existential integrity, harmony and equilibrium), Context Conditions (religiousness, spirituality, self-excellence, ethics, reflection, and challenging experiences), Intervening Conditions (environmental factors, official and unofficial education system, and family), Strategies (wise reasoning, prosocial attitude and behaviors, wellbeing, consulting, guiding and leading others), and Consequences (human perfection and flourishing, common good and a more just world). Overall, wisdom can be defined as a unique, complex, and multifaceted feature encompassing dynamic integrity and balanced account of different components. To describe wisdom as being the best in all its dimensions makes it an unachievable-for-many ideal but if viewed as a continuum, then individuals’ wisdom can be seen as ranging from much/many to less/few of its dimensions. In fact, wisdom dimensions work in a synergic manner to promote it and its sum is greater than its parts.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of creating credibility for the co-witness bylabeling, on the conformity of visual memory. In this research, the conformity of the recognition memory of 64participants was investigated based on the "pretest-posttest control group design". First, in the pre-test step, theactual level of visual recognition memory performance of the individual participants was measured using theInternational Affective Picture System (IAPS). Then, the participants of the experimental group participated inimage recognition tasks in the presence of an expert co-witness (researcher's confederate) who was validated bythe labeling him a police officer, and the participants of the control group in the presence of a non-expert co-witness (researcher's confederate). Data analysis using one way analysis of covariance showed that theparticipants of the experimental group conformed with the valid co-witness more than the control group (ηp2 =0.88, p < 0.005 and F = (58) 19.35). In conclusion, the results showed that providing information about theexpertise of a co-witness can have an effect on memory conformity with him. It turned out that the person'sassessment of the validity of the co-witness's memory plays the most important role. It seems that a person'sperception of the credibility of a co-witness affects the way he processes new information, which leads to anincrease in conformity due to wrong attributions in the source monitoring process. Social influence also plays arole in the credibility effect, though not in terms of giving credibility to memories, but in terms of how information isused.

The present study was conducted with the aim of combining the researches conducted in the field of determining the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on the cognitive flexibility of Iranian children and adolescents with the meta-analysis method. The statistical population of the present analysis is the available researches related to the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on the flexibility of children and adolescents, which were published between 2013 and 2023. Based on the defined entry and exit criteria for primary studies and sensitivity analysis, 61 effect sizes from 43 primary studies were analyzed by CMA software version 2. The findings showed that the summary effect size of the random model was equal to 1.964, which is statistically significant and indicates the positive effect of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on cognitive flexibility. Also, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the types of intervention, research tools, and the age and gender of the subjects. As a result, considering the desired effectiveness of providing educational and therapeutic interventions in order to improve the cognitive flexibility of children and adolescents, it is suggested that it should be considered more and more by those involved in the education of children and adolescents in order to benefit from its potential benefits throughout life.
