The statistical population included all adolescents with HFA in Yazd city and the subject of this study was 3 boys diagnose with HFA, that selected by purposive sampling method. The BASC TM-3 (PRS-A & TRS-A) questionnaires were used to assess behavioral problems and adaptive skills. The training program was presented to the subjects individually in thirty sessions. The research data obtained through repeated measurements were analyzed for each subject. The results showed that, after receiving training, the scores of first and second subjects in behavioral problems with PND= 66.66 and for third subject with PND= 33.33 decreased and in adaptive skills for first subject with PND= 0.75 and for second and third subjects with PND= 0.66 66 increased.

The purpose of present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Relationship Status Scale (ReSta) among students. The research design was descriptive-correlational and, more specifically, validating the test. The study population comprised the students of a higher education institution in Mashhad during the 2018-2019 academic year. Regarding the number of variables, for the first phase of the study 160 students and for the second phase 223 students were selected using the multistage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using the Satisfaction with Relationship Status Scale (Lehmann et al., 2015), Ten-Item Personality Inventory (Gosling et al., 2003), Young schema questionnaire (Waller et al., 2001), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), The satisfaction with life scale (Diener et al., 1985) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler et al, 2000). The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the scale has a one-factor structure with an explained variance of 61.67% and demonstrated good confirmatory validity. The Cronbach's alpha, split-half, and Guttmann coefficients were between 0.84 and 0.91. The positive correlation with personality traits implied a convergent validity, and the negative correlation with social isolation, depression, and psychological distress revealed the divergent validity of the scale. Gender and relationship satisfaction could predict life satisfaction. The Item-Response parameters of the scale were at a desirable level. Overall, the Satisfaction with Relationship Status Scale demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability and can thus be dependably used in studies of interpersonal relationships among students.

Abstract Iran's exposure to modernity has always been one of the controversial debates over recent decades in Iran's intellectual atmosphere. These discussions can be examined and analyzed from different angles by creating different perspectives among intellectuals. The atmosphere of the nineteenth century, the infiltration and breach of modernity in Iran, has been associated with many intellectual challenges, without considering internal issues. The challenge with traditional Islamists and Iranian nationalism has caused some traditional people such as Seyyed Ahmad Kasravi and Seyed Hassan Taghizadeh, both of the traditional clerics, to undergo a profound dissent. The present article responds to the causes and factors of this dissent. It will test the hypothesis that environmental conditions, unhealthy family education, and some of the traditionalistic prejudice of the traditionalists, and the lack of ideas and new ideas in those circumstances, led to dissent, and later even the struggle against the Islamists among them. In this article, the character of both thinkers and the causes and factors of changing their thoughts from two aspects of hermeneutics and psychology of personality are carefully examined.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between panic belief and psychological hardiness with tendency to critical thinking among students of the Malayer University. This descriptive study was correlational. 375 students were selected randomly using the Morgan table, and distributed proportionally in different faculties and disciplines. In order to collect information Greenberg's The Panic Belief Inventory (2001), Ricketts Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI) (2003) and Keimarati and Najarian Iranian scale of psychological hardiness (1998) was used. The results were analyzed using descriptive and deductive statistics such as Pearson correlation and multiple regression tests. Results showed that two variables of panic belief and a tendency to critical thinking have a significant and negative relationship with each other. Also, psychological hardiness was negatively associated with panic belief. On the other hand, the tendency to critical thinking, with the exception of the level of enrichment, had a meaningful and positive relationship with psychological hardiness. This means that both variables can be increased or decreased in parallel. Panic belief can predict a generalized percentage of students' critical thinking and its subscales. Also, psychological hardiness can predict panic belief and its factors, and the tendency to critical thinking and subscales, except for scale of enrichment. According to the results of this study, we can examine the steps of cognitive-behavioral therapy and compare it with the stages of critical thinking skills training in order to strengthen each of these strategies.

The aim of this study was to determine the structural relationships between attachment styles and depression, regarding to meditating role of Theory of Mind in students. This study was a descriptive-correlational study and participants were 300 undergraduate students of Tabriz university in 2017-18 that selected by cluster multistage sampling and they completed Beck Depression Inventory, Adults Attachment Inventory, Strange Stories Task and Faux Pas Recognition Test. Data analysis using structural equation modeling method showed that the measured model has a relatively favorable fit with the theoretical model (RMSEA=0.07,CFI=0.87,IFI=0.87), so that insecure attachment styles, in addition to their direct role, were able to significantly predict the symptoms of depression through theory of mind. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the quality of relation with caregivers affects the ability of child to understand the mental and emotional states of others. In addition, the deficits of theory of mind affect the cognitive capacity and the individual has a negative perception of others and their mental states and as a result, his ability to become depressed increases. According to the results, we can say that adopting appropriate methods for identifying risk factors and preventing or modifying these factors through clinical interventions seem beneficial.
