Background and Objectives: School closures and home quarantines due to the spread of infectious diseases such as Covid-19 have affected the physical and mental health of adolescents. Adolescence is a period of growth in which intimate relationships are very important. In today's societies, the role of family and school in the development of students' personality is a decisive and fundamental one because with the complexity of social and cultural issues and the advancement of technology, the effectiveness of this role in the development of personality has decreased to some extent. Corona virus and teenagers living at home have also fueled this issue. One of the issues of education that has a decisive role in the performance and morale of people is the principle of responsibility. Research shows that accountability can be promoted using effective intervention methods. One of the appropriate interventions in this field is group psycho-educational interventions, which is neither mere education nor mere counseling; in this research, psychoeducational group interventions were implemented through one of the cognitive and behavioral therapy methods called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).Methods: This research was semi-experimental due to the existence of the experimental group and the control group of the pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population in this research included all first secondary level male students who studied in the public schools of Arak in the academic year of 2021-2022. The group (in-person test, virtual test and control) were randomly placed. The data required for this research were collected by the responsibility scale of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) (1978). The data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software and multivariate covariance analysis.Findings: The results showed that face-to-face group psychoeducational interventions based on acceptance and commitment were effective on teenagers' responsibility after the Covid-19 pandemic (P<0.05). Virtual group psychoeducational interventions based on acceptance and commitment were also effective on teenagers' responsibility after the Covid-19 pandemic (P<0.05) and there was a significant difference between face-to-face and virtual group psychoeducational interventions in terms of the effectiveness based on acceptance and commitment on the responsibility of teenagers after the Covid-19 pandemic.Conclusion: The findings of this research indicated the effectiveness of face-to-face and virtual group psychoeducational interventions based on acceptance and commitment theory on increasing responsibility in teenagers in the post-corona era (P<0.01). Therefore, it is suggested that school counselors and therapists in working with students get help from the approach based on acceptance and commitment as a suitable group psychological educational approach to increase their level of psychological adaptation and responsibility.

Background and Objectives: Happiness is the highest level of positive emotion. Happiness is neurologically activated by a rapid decrease in nerve firing rate. Getting rid of physical pain, getting rid of worries, solving difficult problems, and winning an anxiety-provoking competition are examples of a pattern of reduced neurological arousal of happiness. Avoiding stressors and avoiding accelerating change is not possible. In such a situation, people can prepare themselves to effectively deal with stressful life situations that have already provided the possibility of well-being, mental and physical health. Therefore, recognizing the factors that lead to the well-being and mental health of individuals is of particular importance. Since the main purpose of mental well-being is to help all people achieve a fuller, happier life and to prevent mood, emotional and behavioral disorders, prevention of mental illness in order to create a healthy society is one of the main tasks of educational systems. Happiness is one of the most important and influential variables in human life. Happiness is a kind of meaning of life or one of its givers. The effect of happiness on life satisfaction is significant. The purpose of this study is to rebuild, validate, and standardize of the Argyle, Martin, and Crass land’s Oxford happiness scale (OHI). The scale consists of 29 items in terms of five areas of life satisfaction, self-esteem, well-being, mind satisfaction, and positive mood that have been made available to the participants. Methods: The research method is descriptive-survey based on R factor analysis. The statistical population of the study was 200 students of architecture in four universities in Tehran, selected by simple random sampling method. Findings: The results of this study indicate that in the Oxford happiness scale, argyle has five factors; self-respect, life satisfaction, mind satisfaction, well-being and positive mood, while in this study, the factors of hope, life satisfaction, well-being, positive mood and aesthetic sense have come to light and there are two differences: “the aesthetic sense” that is unique to the field of architecture and “the hope” is specific to for Iranian. Conclusion: Finally, a comparative study of research in Oxford questionnaire between 1999 and 2007 was conducted with a 95% and 96% fitness index ratio in 2019.

Background and Objectives:The proliferation of the Internet, video, audio, and mobile media has made many families t to have face-to-face problems with their children. The accepted norms of families are widely questioned and denied by children and cause problems that are dysfunctional and cause a kind of disorder and imbalance in the social system, in a way that challenges the core values and public security of the social system. This hurts the collective conscience and public concern of the elite. New communication media allow children to communicate outside of social and geographical boundaries. Today, computers, networks, software, and everything related to them create new pressures and issues that people must adapt to and the new arena in which they express their normal or abnormal reactions. Gaining the necessary knowledge about new communication media and learning the skills to use them can direct its educational effects. Satellite, mobile phones and the Internet are emerging phenomena affecting education that have become part of the lives of people in societies, affecting thoughts and feelings, relationships and education in general; as the characters portrayed in the media may become role models for people and influence their attitudes, beliefs and behavior. Increasing information and being different in the news is one of the advantages of modern communication media that obtains information from sources with high speed and volume and presents it to the audience. The main purpose of this research was to determine the effects of using modern media communication from Bahar city students' point of view. Methods: The method of this research was descriptive, a kind of survey. Statistical population of the study included all female high-school students in Bahar city. Therefore, in terms of multi-cluster sampling method 288 individual were selected. The main instrument for gathering data in this research was a research-made questionnaire. For data analysis, the inferential statistics such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, one sample t-test and dependent t-test were used. Findings: The results showed that students believed that using modern media communication like Internet. Mobile, and so on, have harmful and useful effects. Nevertheless, the harmful effects of them are more than their useful effects. The useful effects were: increasing the social relationship of students, promoting the individual consciousness, and facilitating second language learning. On the other hand, the harmful effects were: students’ morality disorders, isolation of students, educational drop-out, decreasing the use of local slangs, and decreasing sport activity time among students. Conclusion: Considering the positive effect of using new communication media on social relations, personal awareness and facilitating second language learning, it is suggested that teachers and school officials design and use a plan for using these media in the classroom. It was also found that the harmful educational effects of modern communication media are: creating moral turmoil in students, isolating students, academic failure, reducing the use of local dialect and reducing the time of sports activities in them. Therefore, according to this finding, it is recommended that children be taught in school how to use these media correctly, as well as how to evaluate and select media content. In addition, it is suggested that the educational effects of each of the new communication media, such as mobile phones and related virtual networks, as well as satellite and the Internet, be investigated separately. It is also suggested that research be done on the correct pattern of mobile phone use and its educational opportunities and threats among students.

The existing educational space in schools has been accused of assuming a passive role for children and creating negative effects on their mental development. Although this educational environment initially paved the way for introducing the modern educational program, it lacked the required ability to mobilize and activate a child’s mind, and create motivation for learning. Due to the significance of active learning, its effective elements are first described in this study. From among the 3 effective elements in active learning, “participation” was selected. Subsequently, the effective factors on a child’s participation in the learning process were determined in the form of two models, namely, the social model and the activity model. The research typology is a quantitative method through a surveying study The theoretical content analysis method was used to classify the different perspectives and the interview and observation method was implemented for the selected case study. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of class room size on the students’ participation in the learning process. The statistical population of this study was the middle school children in Bojnourd, Iran, in the 2014-2015 academic year. Subsequently, 279 students were randomly selected from among the above population for completing the questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of the students preferred smaller classrooms, therefore, the overall conclusion in this study is that, to promote participation in the learning process, the following criteria must be considered in designing closed educational spaces: 1) socialization; 2) individual and group activity, and 3) involvement and experience in learning.

Understanding negative numbers and doing operations on them is one of the fundamental subjects in mathematics that students face many problems when they encounter them at school. One of the problems that leads to very serious learning difficulties in mathematics is those misconceptions students may have from previous inadequate teaching, informal thinking, or poor remembrance. Recognition of misconception and the origins that create them in the fields and at different levels of education, can improve learning. Misunderstanding in this study is incomplete or incorrect interpretation of a concept that cause systematic errors in the performance. This study investigates the student’s understanding and misconception of negative numbers. Descriptive statistics, survey, is used as a method of this study. The population of the study is all second level students of guidance school in the academic year 1391-92 and all the seventh level students of Darmian town in the academic year 1392-93. 443 students in second level of guidance school and 55 students in seventh level were chosen as a sample of the study based on cluster random sampling. A self-designed questionnaire by the researcher is used as the instrument for the study, the questionnaire was based on “Bofferding” and “Kilhamn” questionnaire. Results showed that most of the students don’t have a true understanding of negative numbers in school and face problems in applying their knowledge to solve mathematical problems. Also the results of the current study showed that some of the students consider "-" as a reducing operator and some consider "+" as an increasing operator.

Preserving the students’ educational motivation and satisfaction of teaching methods has a considerable influence on their educational success. Therefore, finding effective strategies to enhance students’ educational motivation and satisfaction of teaching methods is considered as one of the most important educational priorities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of utilizing the capabilities of caricature on the students’ educational motivation and satisfaction of the teaching methods. The participants were the students of Yazd Payame Noor University. Nineteen students participated in the learning program utilizing caricature through textbook and PowerPoint slides and 18 students took part in the instructional program based on the lecture. The course of “consistency” with the subject of “strength of the metal structures” was taught using the two mentioned approaches. The classes were randomly assigned to these educational programs. The data were collected in the two stages of pretest and posttest using the summarized version of Mac Innerni and Sinclaire standard questionnaire of educational motivation. Moreover, after the treatment, the students were asked several direct questions about their overall satisfaction from the educational programs. The data were analyzed using t-test, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney statistical tests. The findings indicated that comparing the two approaches, teaching with utilization of caricature can enhance the students’ educational motivation and satisfaction of the teaching methods.

Abstract: This study is an attempt to find the relationship between personality type of the learners and their performance on reading comprehension tests of two structurally different texts, i.e. narrative and cause/effect. To detect the relationship, a researcher-made reading comprehension comprising eight passages of both text structures and the Persian version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator were administered to a group of 379 BA English students from different Iranian universities. The collected data were analyzed and the results indicated that the distribution of subjects' scores on both tests were not normal. Therefore, two Kruskal-Wallis tests were run to detect the relationship. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis tests showed no difference between the subjects' performance on both tests. In order to find out if any specific personality type group had performed better on one of the tests, eight paired sample T-tests were run. The results indicated that compared to the cause/effect mean scores, all groups had performed better on the narrative test, but the difference between the mean scores of STJ, SFJ, SFP, and NFP personality groups were significant. Therefore, it was concluded that the inclusion of most of the feeling subjects, who possess certain personality characteristics congruent with narrative textual features, in these four categories has assisted their better performance. Drawing on the results of the study, implications of the results are suggested.

Abstract: There have been many studies about personality role in students’ studies in recent years. However, these studies do not provide a comprehensive model. In addition, statistical researchers have just attended the relationship between each individual’s personality and his academic performance without considering the impact of people around him on his educationalachievements. In this research, a social simulation has been propounded which shows the impact of an individual’s personality and other people around him in his academic performance using multi-agent systems. Each individual in the simulation has five personality factors which came from the theory of “big five personality”. The simulation is prepared as a tool with a user interface to set parameters and see the result of each simulation. The parameters have been considered by experts to be replaced during the test phase. Data used for simulation was taken with the help of the “big five personality” questionnaire distributed among 35 second-year computer students in Iran University of Science and Technology. Reliability and validity of questions have been previously reviewed by experts. Simulation was executed on the data and the results had been prepared using each student’s personality and adding the friendship links between them. It has been shown that taking into account each student’s friends’ personality can improve the simulation results.

Maintaining students’ academic motivation and satisfaction influence their academic achievement. The main purpose of the study is to determine the effects of blended learning on students’ academic motivation and satisfaction. This is a quasi-experimental study and a total of 34 psychology juniors at Tehran Payame-Noor University, who had enrolled in the "Psychopathology 1" course for the first time, were selected as the sample group. Eighteen students participated in the blended learning program and sixteen students participated in the lecture-based program. Classes were randomly divided into the intervention and control groups. Students’ motivation was measured by the short form of Mc Inerney and Sinclaire school motivation questionnaire (1372) and their satisfaction was determined by direct multiple choice questions after instructional programs. The same questions were used for both groups in pre-test and post-test stages. Statistical analysis was done by Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon test and t-test. It was shown that in comparison to lecture-based instruction, blended learning increased students’ academic motivation (p<0. 001) and satisfaction (p<0.001).

The Present research aim is to study the effect of training strategy of cognitive – behavioral on test anxiety reduction among female high school students. The present study is a semi-experimental study. The statistical population of 70 female students of Tehran high school was selected by the multi stage randomized method and assigned into 2 groups as experimental and control (each group 35 people). Instrument of data collection in this study was Ahvaz test anxiety scale (ATAS). The questionnaire was completed in two stages before, and a week after the intervention by both groups, and then the data analyzed. Results showed that the average of test anxiety has significantly decreased in the experimental group (p<0/05). Training cognitive-behavioral strategies can be effective on the reduction of test anxiety of students. With regard to this paper we suggest that using training cognitive-behavioral strategies can be useful for test anxiety reduction of students and increase their performance in exams.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the reconstruction, validity and reliability of the “Attitude/Motivation Test Battery” in language learning. To achieve this purpose, AMTS was translated into Farsi and evaluated by back translation. The sample of 254 (140 male and 114 female) graduate university students from different majors of Tehran universities were chosen by the random cluster sampling. They answered the AMTS questionnaire. The analysis methods included the item analysis (discrimination coefficient and Loop method), content and construction validity (path analysis) and reliability (calculation of Alpha Cronbach coefficiency for all questionnaires and factors). As a result, 7 factors were recognized including attitude towards language learning importance, language learning anxiety, parents’ encouragement of language learning, negative attitude to language teachers, demotivation of language learning, positive attitude towards native speakers and integrative motivation to language learning were evaluated. The reliability of the questionnaire measured by Alpha Cronbach was 0.848. Regarding the results of this study, AMTB has appropriate validity and reliability. This instrument can measure the motivation and attitude of iraninan language learners.

The present study seeks to investigate the relationship between the L2 motivational self system, second language learning anxiety, and motivated behavior. 1309 junior high school and high school students from all over Iran completed a questionnaire which demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity. Drawing on evidence from L2 motivation research, studies in motivational psychology, and research on L2 anxiety, a model was proposed to be tested via structural equation modeling. The data was submitted to statistical analysis software programs and the proposed model was confirmed: seven out of ten hypothesized paths were significant. The results of the study show that learners’ ideal L2 self significantly contributes to their English learning experience and intended effort, and has a significant but negative relationship with their English anxiety. L2 learning experience most strongly amplifies intended effort; and the ought-to L2 self, as a less internalized future self-guide, significantly leads to the increase of anxiety. Not surprisingly, the ought-to L2 self was observed to significantly contribute to intended effort as well. Based on the results, several practical suggestions along with suggestions for future research have been presented.
