Both questionnaires were administered again as the post test. Statistical analysis revealed that the mean scores of social anxiety in experimental group improved significantly after receiving self-esteem group training compared to their pre-test scores and the control group (p<0. 001، Z=-3. 14). Also Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference in all subscales of mental health except somatic symptoms post-test scores in both the experimental and control groups (p<0. 05، Z=-3. 05). The Findings of this study revealed that cognitive-behavioral self-esteem group training can be considered as a significant and effective method in increasing mental health and reducing social anxiety.

The research method was descriptive-correlational and statistical population consisted of male employees of a big automotive industry، from among which 269 employees were selected via random sampling. In this research a set of questionnaires consisting of work place violence intension (Mehdad &et al، 2011)، organizational justice (Niehoff & Moorman، 1993) and NEO-FFI (Costa & Mccrae، 1989). Data were analyzed with the use of moderated regression analysis. The results showed that extraversion moderated the relationship between perceived distributive justice and physical (= β -0/05، P)، and verbal (= β -0/09، P) violence intension and neuroticism moderated the relationship between perceived distributive justice with physical (= β -0/09، P) and verbal (= β -0/14، P) violence intension. But conscientiousness، agreeableness and openness to experience could not moderate the relationship between perceived organizational justice'' dimensions and work place violence intension. Consequently، this study confirms that، extraversion and neuroticism moderated the relationship between perceived organizational justice and work place violence intension. Therefore، based on these results، it is recommended that organizations consider personality characteristics in selection process of employees.

Results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that in the Iranian version of UWES-9، as in the original form appears the three related but distinct dimensions of energy، dedication and absorption. Based on this confidence about UWES-9 accuracy in work engagement assessment، it is suggested using of UWES-9 in researches related to work engagement.

The current study compares Emotional Intelligence and Identity styles in women with major depression disorder and normal women. In order to get post-test (caused-comparison)، 120 women (60 depressed and 60 normal) were selected. These experimental women are collected first from clients of «Mehr Taban consultancy center» on fall and winter 1390 (which recognized depressed by the Psychiatrist، based on Diagnostic criteria DSM-IV-TR)، and second collected from students of «Islamic Azad University، science and research branch of Tehran» (which Based on Structured clinical interview DSM-IV-TR، were not recognized depressed) selected using convenience sampling. Assessment tools consisted of Emotional intelligence scale (Bar-On، 1997) and Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (Bennion & Adams، 1986). Results analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient and MANOVA has been clarified; between depressed and normal women، the levels of emotional intelligence، as a dependent variable، there are significant differences (P<0. 001) and between depressed and normal women''s identity styles as a dependent variable was also significant difference (P<0. 001). Also، separately، between emotional intelligence and identity status in depressed and normal women، there was a significant relationship (P<0. 001). This study suggests the importance of relationship between emotional intelligence and identity style in description of depression. The results can be used in prevention programs and treatment.

The purpose of this study was to compare early maladaptive schemas in sex offenders and non-offenders. The present study is a descriptive-post hoc study. From male sex offenders over 18 years old in Rajayee Shahr and Qezelhesar prisons in 1388، 45 sex offenders were selected. 45 non - offenders the control group were also matched with them in terms of their age، marriage life، education and job. Stepwise discriminant analysis showed abandonment/instability، mistrust، dependence/ incompetence and vulnerability could predict sex offenses. abandonment/instability، mistrust، dependence/ Incompetence and vulnerability play a principle role in identifying the difference between the sex offenders and no offenders (P<0/001). So، cognitive-behavioral therapies on sex offenders should emphasize on both automatic thoughts and early maladaptive schemas
