Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine relationship betweenparenting styles, emotional expressiveness, emotional control andambivalence towards emotional expressiveness of mothers who havechildren with behavioral problems. Methods: Research method wasdescriptive-correlational and statistical population included all third to sixthgrade students (nine to 12 years of age) in districts one, five and seven of theCity of Tehran municipality. Five schools were chosen, namely, AftabAzarin, Imam Musa Kazem, 13th Aban, Shahid Cheraghi and Kalam Mehrin the academic year of 2016-2017 (N=1743). Of these, 200 students (102boys and 98 girls) who met entrance criteria were selected based onavailability. Sample size was determined using Rhine’s (1991) formula forsample size, .Each child had earned a T score more that 63 on theAchenbach’s Child Behavior Check List. The Alabama ParentingQuestionnaire-Child Form (1991) was filled out by children, The King andEmmons’s Emotional Expressive Questionnaire (1990), Roger andNesshoever’s Emotional Control Questionnaire (1987), and King andEmmons’s Ambivalence Over Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire(1990) were filled out by mothers .Correlations and regression analyses wereused for data analysis. Results: The results indicated that the study variableswere able to predict 20.8 % of the variance of children's behavioral problems(F= 4.494, P= 0.0001). In dimensions of parenting, father participation hadthe highest predictive power (β= -0.194, P= 0.009). In emotionalexpressiveness, negative emotional expressiveness component (β= 0.162, P=0.026), in emotional control, the benign control component (β= 0.200, P=0.009) and the ambivalence over positive emotional expressiveness wereable to predict behavioral problems (β=0.275, P= 0.003). Conclusions: Sinceparenting styles, emotional expressiveness, emotional control andambivalence over emotional expressiveness in mothers can be effective inpredicting children's behavioral problems, these variables can be used ininterventions to prevent and treat behavioral problems of these children andto teach mothers correct ways of expressing emotions.

Aim: The aim of this research was to predict life quality based on behavioralactivator and inhibitor systems and adulthood hyperactivity in male drugabusers. Method: A correlational method was employed. The statisticalpopulation consisted of 1637 drug abusers residing in the Alborz province,Iran. 232 drug abusers were selected based on Krejces & Morgan’s table(1970). Participants completed the following questionnaires: The WorldHealth Organization’s Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Questionnaire(Varsharbun, 1998); Conner's (1999) List of the Symptoms of AdulthoodADHD Indicator and the Behavioral Activator and Brain inhibitor SystemQuestionnaire (Carver and White, 1994). Data was analyzed using thestructural equation-modeling test. Findings: Findings showed that theindirect path coefficients between life quality and components of behavioralactivator system (β=-0.292, P=0.01) and adulthood (β= -0.584, P=0.001)were negative. Changes of scores of behavioral-brain system explained 22%of adulthood hyperactivity variance and explained 47% of life qualityvariance along with changes of ADHD in adulthood. Conclusion: Thisresearch shows that adulthood hyperactivity has negative effects on therelationship between behavioral activator system and life quality. Therefore,it can be argued that hyperactivity has negative and destructive effects onpersonal and social affairs of male drug abuse. We suggest that someworkshops should be held to improve the quality of life and decrease thedangerous behaviors in individuals with hyperactivity disorder in order tosolve conflicts and improve interpersonal relationships.

Method:A quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test and a one month followup with control group was used. The statistical population included 500pregnant women referred to health centers in the town of Ghorveh in Sanandajprovince in Iran who were one to six months pregnant. Through availablesampling method, 263 women who met the inclusion criteria were selectedand out if these, 30 participants were randomly assigned to two groups ofMBCT or control. Research tools were Beck’s (1996) Depression InventoryII, Rumination Response Scale (Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991),Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003) and the MBCTprogram which was adapted from Segal, Williams, & Teasdale (2018) andDimidjian, Goodman, Felder, Gallop, Brown, & Beck (2016). This wasadministered to the experimental group during eight weekly, 90-minutesessions and collected data was analyzed using mixed model repeatedmeasures analysis of variance. Results: Findings showed that MBCT had asignificant effect on improving depression symptoms (F= 55.06, P= 0.001),rumination (F= 25.88, P= 0.001), and emotion regulation subscales includingcognitive reappraisal (F= 9.27, P= 0.02), and suppression (F= 4.69, P= 0.036),and treatment gains were maintained at follow-up. Conclusion: This methodcan be used as a low-cost and effective treatment for the treatment ofemotional disorders and improving the psychological status of pregnantwomen.

Method: Researchmethod was quasi-experimental using pretest, post-test and a three monthfollow up with control group. The statistical population included all 800married female teachers who were working in the City of Abhar EducationAuthority in the academic year 2017-18. 260 participants were selected bysystematic random sampling and responded to the Oxford HappinessQuestionnaire )Argyle, Martin, and Krassland, 1989( and then from the 124who scored below 43, 45 subjects were selected randomly and divided intothree groups, consisting of 15 participants each. One group received ACTHayes & Strosahl (2010(; another group received QoL based therapy Frish(2016) and a third received no therapy at all (the control group). Participantstook part in eight sessions of 90 minutes duration each held once a week. Datawas analyzed using mixed analysis of variance with repeated measures.Results: Results showed that both therapy programs significantly increasedteachers’ total scores of happiness as well as life satisfaction (F= 94.08),positive mood (F= 19.19), health efficacy (F= 56.68) and self-esteem (F=48.55) at the 0.01 level. Follow-up analyses showed that these results remainedstable after three months. No significant difference was found between the twoexperimental groups. Conclusion: Since quality of life therapy emphasizes thepromotion of happiness and life satisfaction, and ACT leads to psychologicalflexibility and commitment, these two methods can be applied as effectiveintervention methods to increase happiness of teachers.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to determine factors affecting thequality of dormitory physical environment. Methods: The research methodwas correlational and the statistical population consisted of all femalestudents living in dormitories (N=1648). The sample size was based onKline’s (2015) recommendation of 2.5–5 cases per parameter. Since therewere 29 parameters in the present study, a sample size of 150 was deemedsuitable. This cross-sectional study was conducted using 172 female studentsresiding in the women’s dormitory of Shahid Beheshti University, Tehranfrom October to December 2018. Bachelor, Master and PhD students wereselected using cluster sampling. Respondents were selected from 24 differentdisciplines and from faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences, NaturalSciences and Engineering. Students’ residential satisfaction questionnairewas completed by all participants. Students responded to each item of thequestionnaire by using a Likert scale. 150 questionnaires were included in thefinal analysis after excluding 22 questionnaires with missing data. In order toprocess information and put items of the questionnaire into categories,exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used and five major factors forresidential satisfaction in dormitories were extracted according to students’opinions. Results: Results showed that there was a significant positiverelationship between residential satisfaction and physical criteria of interiorspace and function (r=0.361, P=0.01), management and health services(r=0.475, P=0.01), aesthetics and natural lighting (r=0.498, P=0.01), securityand social relationships (r=0.141, P=0.05) and relationship with nature(r=0.225, P=0.01). Conclusion: Based on the findings, we conclude that theevaluation of effective factors on satisfaction in dormitory space may beuseful in the designers’ decision to improve the quality of student housing.As a consequence, the conversion of these qualitative criteria intoarchitectural design suggestions is needed to reduce the present problems ofstudents’ dormitories.
