The purpose of this study was to design and validation of mother's self-regulation program and its effect on parenting stress of mothers with children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research method is considered to be fundamental and applied in terms of its purpose, and it is a combination-exploratory research. The research method in the quantitative part was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the research in this section included all mothers aged 30-45 with children suffering from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Tehran in 2022. The sample size consisted of 30 mothers (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) from the statistical population were selected by available sampling method and placed in two groups of control and experimental. For the experimental group, a mother self-regulation program was implemented, while the control group did not receive any training. The research instruments included the Parenting Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). Data analysis was done using analysis of variance with repeated measures in spss software version 26. The results showed that self-regulation intervention had a significant effect on parenting stress in the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.01).

Self-perception reflects people's judgment of their abilities to achieve a certain goal. Therefore, considering the importance of this component in reinforcing children's development and taking into account the lack of a valid and appropriate tool in Iran to assess self-perception in children, this study is focused on validation and confirmatory factor analysis of the Persian version of Self-perception Profile for Children (Harter, 2012).

The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The study population included all the female students aging 10-12 in Tehran during the academic year 2021-2022. A sample of 347 students was selected by convenience method. AMOS and SPSS24 were used to analyze the data.

Upon performing the translation and obtaining the opinions of experts and participants, the face validity of the scale was confirmed. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that in the sample of Iranian students, the six-factor structure of the scale demonstrated a good fit to the data. Internal consistency coefficients for the scholastic competence, social competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, behavioral conduct, and global self-worth subscales were 0.76, 0.65, 0.73, 0.81, 0.70, and 0.79, respectively.

In general, results showed that Self-perception Profile for Children is a valid scale to assess children's perception of their competence. This scale can be used to measure self-perception in research and therapeutic domains.

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a child self-regulation program on the self-perception and friendship quality of children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study employed a semi-experimental research design with a pre-test-post-test methodology and a control group. The statistical population for this research comprised all 9-12-year-old girls diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in Tehran during the 2021-2022 period. The sample size consisted of 30 participants, with 15 assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group, selected from the statistical population using an available sampling method. While the control group remained on the waiting list, the experimental group received a child self-regulation program. The research instruments utilized were Harter's self-perception scale (2012) and Zohrevand and Hejazi's (2001) friendship quality assessment. The results indicated that the self-regulation intervention had a significant impact on enhancing self-perception and friendship quality during the post-test and follow-up stages. These findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of self-regulation programs, which can be utilized by counselors and psychologists to enhance self-perception and friendship quality among children with ADHD.

Knowledge of Faculty members’ views about factors affecting occupational motivation is helpful in creating occupational motivation for predicting and interpreting their behavior. The purpose of this study was to assess the motivational factors affecting the educational performance of faculty members of Semnan University of Medical Sciences from their own perspective.
In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, 145 of the faculty members of Semnan University of Medical Sciences were selected by simple random sampling in order to identify the factors affecting occupational motivation. Data collection tool was a researcher-made 20-item questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale. It was designed based on Herzberg’s two-factor theory and its content validity and reliability were confirmed through test-retest. Data were analyzed using chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests.
According to the faculty members’ views, the external factor “being respected in the workplace” with the mean score of 3.48±0.98 and the internal factor “intrinsic interest in teaching” with the mean score of 4.57±0.61 were the most important factors respectively.
Results showed that in general, both internal and external motivational factors were effective in the performance of faculty members. Therefore, to improve their performance, managers should provide necessary tools to increase faculty members’ motivation.
