The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-compassion training on cognitive emotion regulation and fear of intimacy in adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder. The semi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test with the control group design. The statistical population of this study consisted of all male students diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder studying in high school of Boin Zahra City in the academic year 2022-2023. The sample size of the study, based on previous experimental research, included 30 people who randomly placed in two experimental groups (15 people) and a control group (15 people). The experimental group received training in 8 sessions of 90 minutes once a week and the control group received no training. The instruments used in this study were clinical interviews based on Dsm-5 criteria, the cognitive Emoting Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006), the Fear of Intimacy Questionnaire (Descutner & Thelen, 1991), and the Oppositional defiant disorder scale (Hommersen et al., 2006). Data analysis conducted using Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA). The results showed that self-compassion training leads to an increase in adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation, a decrease in maladaptive strategies for cognitive emotion regulation, and a decrease in fear of intimacy in adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder (p<0/05). Therefore, self-compassion training can used to improve cognitive emotion regulation and reduce fear of intimacy in adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder.

This research conducted to investigate the psychometric properties of the Person‑Situation Academic Engagement Questionnaire for Adults (PSAE-QA) (Alonso‑Tapia, Merino‑Tejedor & Huertas, 2022). This scale evaluates four components: cognitive, behavioral, emotional and agency, across five educational situations. The population consisted of all undergraduate students admitted to the Department of Education and Psychology of Alzahra University from the academic years 2019 to 2022. Upon requesting to cooperate, 362 students participated in the research. To collect data, the PSAE-QA used as main scale, along with Reev’s Academic Engagement Scale (2013), and Tuckman’s Procrastination Scale (1991). After collecting the data, three alternative theoretical models consist of a mono-factor model, a second-order factor model and a hierarchical model conducted to test whether the meta-construct engagement was sufficient to explain the data variance. The hierarchical model had a better Goodness-of-fit statistics. Furthermore, after examining convergent and divergent validity, the academic engagement scale (Reev, 2013) had a positive and significant correlation and the procrastination scale (Tuckman, 1991) had a negative and significant correlation. The reliability coefficient, calculated using Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω, were 0.871 and 0.875 respectively. According to the results, the PSAE-QA can considered suitable for studying the academic engagement of Iranian students

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and empathy with the mediating role of social problem-solving. This research is descriptive and correlational in nature. The statistical population of the present study consists of all the students of Al-Zahra University, from which 373 students selected using random cluster sampling. To collect data, the Adult Attachment Styles Questionnaire (Collins and Reed, 1990), the Empathy Questionnaire (Davis, 1983) and the Problem-Solving Questionnaire by Cassidy and Long (1996) used. The collected data analyzed using Pearson's correlation test and path analysis based on structural equations, using Amos-24 and SPSS-17 software. The research findings indicated that the relationship between attachment styles and empathy is significant. Also, the mediator role model of social problem-solving had a good fit in the relationship between attachment styles and empathy. Bootstrap results also indicated the impact of attachment styles on empathy through social problem-solving. As a result, it can be said that the variable of social problem-solving has a significant mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and empathy

Recently, the field of education has undergone a profound transformation marked by the integration of technology into traditional teaching and learning methods. Acknowledging the necessity for a thorough investigation, this sequential mixed-methods research delves into the intricacies of the teaching-learning process in the electronic environment at the University of Tehran.Employing a phenomenological research approach in the qualitative phase, interviews conducted with students and professors, using purposeful sampling guided by considerations of data saturation. Qualitative findings shed light on the nuanced experiences of 25 students and 18 instructors actively engaged in electronic teaching-learning at the University. These insights contribute to the development of a theoretical framework encapsulating the dynamics of the teaching-learning process within the electronic landscape at the University of Tehran.In the quantitative realm, researchers designed and validated a questionnaire based on qualitative insights and extensive theoretical reviews. After undergoing content validity scrutiny by experts, the questionnaire administered to 495 University of Tehran students. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses confirmed the final validity and reliability of the questionnaire, consisting of 35 items and 8 factors, with a Cronbach's alpha exceeding 0.70. This instrument emerges as a valuable tool for scrutinizing the teaching-learning process within electronic environments across universities.This study outlines the key aspects of e-learning at the University of Tehran, offering a specialized conceptual model. Additionally, it introduces a questionnaire to create an evaluation tool for this crucial aspect at the university and beyond

The purpose of this research was to validate and standardize the academic perfectionism scale. The present research method was descriptive and validation type. The statistical population of research included all the students of Urmia University in the year 1402, of which 338 selected through available sampling. Data collected online. The tools used were Academic Perfectionism Scale and Multidimensional perfectionism Scale (MPS), the Self-Criticism Scale (LOSC) and Positive And Negative Perfectionism Scale (PANP). Pearson's correlation test, confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient used for data analysis. Data also analyzed using SPSS-23 and Amos software.The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed that the academic perfectionism scale with 27 items has 4 factors and the reliability of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.88. The results of the convergent validity study showed that there is a significant correlation between academic Academic Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), Self-Criticism Scale (LOSC) and Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale (PANP).According to the findings of this research, academic perfectionism scale has good psychometric properties and it can used as a suitable tool to investigate academic perfectionism. This tool has good validity and reliability

The influence of academic support on students’ academic and personal development has been previously demonstrated. Therefore, this research conducted with the aim of validating the Persian version of the Perceived Academic Support Questionnaire (PASQ) for adolescents. Four hundred adolescents (200 girls and 200 boys), selected using a convenience sampling method, responded to the Perceived Academic Support Questionnaire (Reyes & et al., 2022), the Academic Interest Scale for adolescents (Luo & et al., 2019), the Brief Regulation of Motivation Scale (Kim & et al., 2018) and the Motivational Persistence Scale (Constantin & et al., 2012). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the PASQ had good factorial validity with a three-factor structure consisting of academic support from teachers, family, and peers. In addition, the results related to the correlation between the dimensions of academic support with motivational regulation, motivational persistence and academic interest supported the criterion validity of the Persian version of the PASQ. The results of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis revealed the cross-group invariance of factorial structure, factor loadings, and factor variances and covariances of the PASQ across male and female adolescents. Internal consistency for the academic support from family, teachers and peers subscales was 0/90, 0/83 & 0/83, respectively. The validation results of the Persian version of the academic support questionnaire for adolescents showed that this scale has good validity and reliability and can used in future studies

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of visual spatial perception skills on improving the theory of mind in 8-10 year-old students with learning disabilities in Mashhad. This research adopted a quantitative approach and utilized a semi-experimental design (pretest/posttest with a control group). The statistical population included all male students aged 8 to 10 years who had referred to learning disorder centers in Mashhad with learning disabilities symptoms. The statistical sample also includes 30 people selected from this statistical population of the research using a non-probability sampling method, who then replaced randomly in two groups of 15 people, experimental and control. The experimental group received training in visual spatial perception skills for 60 minutes in 10 sessions, while the control group was not subjected to any intervention. All participants assessed with Stirenman's theory of mind test before and after the implementation of the independent variable. The data from this research analyzed using a one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and spss.24 software.The results of covariance analysis showed that training in visual spatial perception skills had a significant effect on improving theory of mind performance of students with learning disabilities. The results of this research showed that training of 10 sessions of 60 minutes in visual spatial perception significantly improves the theory of mind in students with learning disabilities compared to the group that did not receive this training. Also, implementing educational interventions aimed at improve visual spatial perception skills in students with learning disabilities also helps to improve their theory of mind, ultimately leading to the improvement of learning disabilities
