Emotion regulation plays an important role in other psychological variables including health in diabetic patients. As a result, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between cognitive flexibility and mindfulness with emotion regulation in type 2 diabetic patients.

The current research in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was cross-sectional from type of correlation. The research population was type 2 diabetic patients referred to diabetes clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital's in the winter of 2017 and spring of 2018. The sample size based on the Krejcie and Morgan table was estimated to be 181 people who this number after checking the inclusion criteria were selected by available sampling method. The research tools were questionnaires of cognitive flexibility (Dennis and Vander Wal, 2010), mindfulness-short form (Walach et al, 2006) and emotion regulation (Gross and John, 2003). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression with stepwise model in SPSS-22 software.

The findings showed that cognitive flexibility and mindfulness had a positive and significant relationship with emotion regulation in type 2 diabetic patients and in addition, cognitive flexibility and mindfulness variables significantly could predict 38% of emotion regulation changes in type 2 diabetes patients which in this prediction the contribution of cognitive flexibility was higher than mindfulness (P˂0.01).

According to results of this research, in order to improve emotion regulation in type 2 diabetic patients, it is possible to improve cognitive flexibility and mindfulness through educational workshops.

Problem-solving is a valuable skill that can be improved by using a creative problem-solving training program(TRIZ). This concept can have positive academic and non-academic consequences for students and prepare them to face various challenges and problems.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the TRIZ program on problem-solving skills with an emphasis on the mediating roles of critical thinking and school belonging.

The research design was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and control group with a follow-up period in which 30 students were selected by the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The statistical population of the study included all sixth-grade elementary school girls in District 5 of Tehran in the academic year of 2019-2020. In three phases of pre-test, posttest, and follow-up, the groups answered Ricketts' critical thinking questionnaire, Cassidy-Long Problem-Solving Questionnaire, and students' sense of connectedness with school of Brew, Beatty, and Watt (2004). To analyze the data, the Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes Model was used in the form of partial least squares.

The results showed that the TRIZ program could promote critical thinking and school belonging directly as well as problem-solving skills indirectly. In sum, in the experimental model and follow-up model, path coefficients were identified as significant. The conceptual model of post-test research could explain 51% of the variance of school belonging, 41% of critical thinking variance as well as 56% of problem-solving skills.

These results indicate the importance and the impact of the TRIZ program in an educational environment that helps teachers for using it in an effective way in order to promote problem-solving skills, critical thinking and school Belonging

The present study sought to develop a model of Social Support and Identity Styles with the mediating role of self-concept in Tehran high school students in 2019. This research was applied by purpose and in terms of nature, it was descriptive and correlational research. The statistical population of the study consisted of high school female students in the first and second grade of Tehran in which 310 participants were selected by cluster sampling method. Research tools were Berzonsky’s identity style, Philips’s social support, and Karami’s self-concept questionnaires. Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling by using PSS-22 and AMOS-24 software. The results showed that social support had not any significant relationship with identity styles in high school girl students. Self-concept in girl students is positively correlated with commitment and information identity styles and negatively with confused identity styles. Finally, it was found that self-concept positively mediates the relationship between social support with informational and commitment identity styles, and negatively mediates the relationship between social support and diffuse-avoidance identity style, whereas its role in the relationship between social support and normative identity style could not be verified. The results of the study can be used to raise the awareness of families and educational counselors who are in direct contact with students.

The present study is aimed at determining the role of teachers' emotional intelligence components (composition class) in predicting the aspects of creativity (writing) among students. A descriptive-correlation method is adopted in the course of this study. The sample includes 291 students of the 10th grade as well as 10 composition teachers from the city of Qom in the academic year of 2018-2019. They were selected through multi-stage random cluster sampling and were evaluated by Torrance Test of Creativity and BarOn Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. The results of correlation analysis and multivariate regression indicated that there is a meaningful relationship between teachers' interpersonal skills and innovation and the elaboration of creativity among students. Also, there is a meaningful relationship between teachers' stress management and flexibility, innovation and elaboration of the students. The results also indicated that teachers' interpersonal skills meaningfully predict innovation and expansion in students; their stress management meaningfully predicts flexibility and innovation in students; and their general mood meaningfully predicts the elaboration of students' creativity. The results of the present study support that the emotional intelligence components of teachers are significant to foster the aspects of students’ creativity. Therefore, holding Teacher Training Emotional Intelligence Course seems to be necessary.
