The high school male teachers are all selected through systematic random sampling. To collect the required data, many reliable questionnaires including the following ones have been used: Ahvaz Perfectionism Questionnaire (1999), WHO Quality of life Questionnaire (1991), Beck Anxiety Inventory (1990), Libano et al.̓s Workaholism Questionnaire (2010), Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (1992), Powell and Enright Physical Symptom Questionnaire (1991) and petersburg Sleep Quality Index (1989).
