The current struggle for research is to bridge the gap between researchers and those who must receive research messages. This gap is the main barrier which minimizes the impact of even applied research. In the past two decades, the concept of 'knowledge translation' has been established to fill this breach. Using this concept, researchers must seek the involvement of users from the outset in every step; defining the research question, developing the methods, running the project, up to the finalizing the reportage and dissemination of their findings.
Moreover, users are responsible for contacting researchers and facilitating effective communication, as well as supporting projects. When the impact of the research project becomes visible through a sustainable change, knowledge translation will end.

 Physical-motor disability can lead to a decrease in social safeness and pleasure and positive development in adolescents with physical-motor disabilities. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of schema therapy on social safeness and pleasure and positive development of adolescence in adolescents with physical-motor disabilities.

 The research was conducted using a semi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design with the participation of 21 female adolescent with physical-motor disabilities supported by the welfare organization of Qom city in 2022. Sampling was a convenience sampling method. They were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received intervention during 10 sessions of 120 minutes, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were collected with scales of Social Safeness and Pleasure and positive development of adolescence and were analyzed using covariance analysis test and SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 24.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill., USA).

 The mean (SD) of of social safeness and pleasure in the experimental group increased from 30.2 (7.6) before the intervention to 38.64 (6.98) after the intervention (P=0.001). The mean (SD) of positive youth development in the experimental group decreased from 29.5 (5.3) before the intervention to 23.5 (4.5) after the intervention (P=0.005). In the control group, there was no significant difference between pretest and posttest scores.

 The study showed that schema therapy improves social safeness and pleasure and positive development of adolescents with physical-motor disabilities.

 Social anxiety and social incompatibility are the most common problems among university students. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of treatment based on commitment and acceptance on social anxiety and family communication pattern in university students of Qom city in 2023.

 The study was conducted as a semi-experimental pre-test and post-test with the control group and with the participation of 60 students of Qom city in the 2023. The participants were selected by available sampling method and were randomly divided into two equal groups, experimental and control. Data were collected using Connor's social anxiety questionnaire and Fitzpatrick and Koerner's family communication patterns questionnaire. The treatment protocol based on acceptance and commitment was implemented in ten sessions of 120 minutes weekly and in groups for the experimental group. Data were analyzed using SPSS-22 statistical software Data were analyzed using t, multivariate and univariate and covariance analysis tests and SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 22.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill., USA).

 The mean (SD) of the total score of the family communication pattern increased from 79.6 (13.3) before to 88.1 (8.7) after the intervention in the experimental group. The mean (SD) of the total score of social anxiety decreased from 27.8 (5.9) before to 22.6 (4.2) after the intervention in the experimental group. Treatment based on acceptance and commitment had an effect on reducing social anxiety by 0.209 (P<0.001). Also, treatment based on acceptance and commitment had an effect on improving the family communication pattern by 0.153 (P=0.002). There were no significant differences in the control group.

 The study showed that treatment based on commitment and acceptance led to the reduction of social anxiety and improvement of the family communication pattern in university students of Qom city.

 One of the phenomena of adolescence is risky behaviors. Many biological, cognitive, social and family factors are the cause of high-risk behaviors. The aim of this research was to predict the tendency to risky behaviors based on the behavioral brain system with the mediating role of parenting styles.

 This descriptive study of the correlation and path analysis type was conducted with the participation of 360 students less than 18 years of secondary school in the 4th region of Qom province in the academic year of 2001-2012 with available sampling. Data were collected using high-risk behaviors and behavioral brain system questionnaires and were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient tests and path analysis and SPSS- Statistics for Windows, version 22.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill., USA).

 Our study showed a correlation between all predictive variables and high-risk behaviors. The path analysis test showed that, from the direct path, the relationship between behavioral inhibition system (β=0.19) and permissive style (β=0.26) was positive and significant with high-risk behaviors. However, the relationship between the activator inhibition system (β=0.16) and authoritarian style (β=0.21) with high-risk behaviors was negative and significant. From the indirect path, the relationship of behavioral inhibition system with the mediation of permissive style (β=0.083) and authoritative style (β=0.053) with risky behaviors was positive and significant. Whereas, the relationship of behavioral activation system with the mediation of permissive style (β=-0.138) and authoritarian style (β=-0.088) with high-risk behaviors was negative and significant.

The study showed that both inhibition and activation systems were directly related to high-risk behaviors and through two permissive and authoritative styles. The evaluated model has a good fit.
