Several studies showed that egalitarian gender ideology can have a significant impact on the couple’s marital harmony and marital discord. This impact can be direct or indirect and can be in interaction with other significant psychological variables such as perception of equity. This study aimed to investigate the direct and indirect effects of egalitarian gender ideology on marital harmony and marital discord with the mediation of perception of equity. The subjects of the study were 150 couples (150 men and 150 women) whose children were studying in elementary schools of Ahvaz, selected according to multistage random sampling. The participants completed Measures of Marital Harmony (MHQ) and Marital Discord (MDQ), Gender Ideology (GIS) and Measure of Equity Perceived (MEP). Data were analyzed, using structural equation modeling (SEM) and also the indirect effects were tested by bootstrapping method. The results indicated that the proposed model did have good fit indices. The results also showed that the egalitarian gender ideology had an effect, both direct and indirect, on marital harmony and marital discord in men and women.

The aim of this study was to investigate psychometric properties of theEarly/Late Preference Scales.200 personnel selected using simple random method (92 male, and 108 female) completedthe Early/Late Preference Scale, and Morningness-Eveningness Question-naire. To assess the reliability of measure, α coefficient, and to examine the validity of this measure, exploratory factor analysis (Varimax rotation), and confirmatory factor analysis were administered.Principle components analysis (Varimax rotation) on the Early/Late Preferences Scale revealed three factors: General activity, Morningness, and eveningness accounted for 48.83% of the variance. The greater portion of this variance (24.48%) was accounted for by the first factor. Also, confirmatory factor analysis showed preference for determined the three-factor model by one modification over the one-factor model by two modifications. Cronbach's α coefficient (internal consistency) was acceptable for the whole scale and in extracted factors. Correlation coefficient between each item of the scale with the total score of the items ranged between 0.41 to 0.64 and all were statistically significant (p≤0.001). Concurrent validity coefficient between this scale and Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (M-EQ) was -0.40. These results support the use of the PS as a brief instrument for assessing the hierarchical structure of Early/Late Preference Scale in a variety of participants.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of intimacy training on relationship-intimacy in married employees of Ahvaz Oil Company. Participants were 36 couples who were selected randomly from among those employees who agreed to take part in the study. They were then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The design of the study was a pretest-posttest control group type. The Intimacy Needs Survey scale was used in order to investigate different aspects of intimacy. MANOVA and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The results showed that emotional intimacy, psychological intimacy, intellectual intimacy, sexual intimacy, physical intimacy, spiritual intimacy, aesthetic intimacy and social-recreational intimacy were enhanced by the intimacy training project.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationship between gender, prior math performance, perceived sources of mathematics self-efficacy, goal setting, mathematics self-efficacy, attributional styles, and math performance of high school student in Ahvaz, Iran. The sample for the study consisted of 390 sophomore students (192 boys and 198 girls) who were selected randomly from the high school population in Ahvaz, and had passed math 2 (prior math performance), and were studying math 3 (math performance). Participants were administered the Perceived Sources of Mathematics Self-Efficacy Information Scale (PSMES), the Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale (MSES), the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ), and the Goal-Setting Scale (OS). Also, the prior and current math grades were obtained from high schools’ archives. In addition to descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient), the following statistical methods were used to analyze the data: factor analysis, and structural analysis. The primary research question was whether the main model (the relationship between gender, prior math performance, perceived sources of mathematics self-efficacy, goal-setting, mathematics self-efficacy, attributional styles, and math performance) fits the data. In other words, whether the above variables influence math performance. The results indicated that the main model fits but one path (from goal-setting to math performance) was not significant. Also, the path coefficient from mathematics self-efficacy to math performance was negative. The non-significant path, then, was eliminated from the model, and a modified model was formed. The results of testing this modified model showed that it was a better model over the previous one. In short, from nine direct hypotheses only one was not confirmed, and one of them was confirnied in the opposite direction.

The objective of this study was to construct and validate an occupational expectation of self-efficacy scale for university students. The Results of this study showed a high reliability among the sub-scales, such as educational needs, occupational expectancies between men and women. Also, the concurrent validity coefficients within and among sub-scales such as job self-efficacy, educational needs, and job-duties in all samples significant. Also, a one way factor analysis of variance with repeated measures showed a significant difference among the male and female students on all the sub-scales except on educational needs. The were significant level of aO.O5 was adopted in this research.

This research was conducted to investigate the comparison of mathematics self- efficacy beliefs of male and female students of math- physics, experimental science and human science fields of study, and its relationship with gender, academic fields of study, prior math achievement and goal setting. 400 male and female sophomore students, from three fields of study (math-physics, experimental science and human science), were selected randomly from Ahvaz high school. The Mathematics Self-efficacy and Goal Setting scales were administered to the subjects. The reliability coefficients (ronbach Mph and Split-Half) and validity of the scales were satisfactory. The results of factorial analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences between male and female, and between the three fields of study, in the mathematics self-efficacy beliefs. Also the results of simple correlations showed that mathematics self- efficacy was related to gender, goal setting, academic fields of study and prior math achievement. Finally, multiple regression coefficients, using step.wise method, showed that all of the above mentioned variables predicted mathematics self- efficacy beliefs.

This study was conducted to answer a few research questions about the conservation of number, mass, length and volume among four groups of 7.5 and 10.5 year old girl and boy primary school pupils in Zahedan. The sample cosisted of 120 second and fifth grade pupils of Zahedan who were selected randomly and equally from 7.5 and 10.5 year old populations. The project clinical method was usedto measure conservation. Data analysis showed that: a) 10.5 -year- old girl and boy pupils performed better than younger pupils in all four types of conservation and their components: prediction, judgernent and explanation; b) there were no differences between girls and boys regarding the four types of conservation investigated; and c) children achieved conservation of number, mass, length and volume successively.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of age and sex with conservation of number, mass and volume. It was hypothesized that: (1) the older pupils are more able than younger ones regarding the conversation concepts; (2) that children develop conversation of number, mass and volume successively; and (3) there is no significant difference between boy and girl subjects regarding the three conversation concepts. The sample consisted of 180 first. Third and fifth grade a school pupils of the city of Ahvaz who were selected randomly and equally from 6.5 and 10.5 year old populations. Analysis of variance was used as the the statistical method to test the hypotheses. The results supported the first two hypotheses, but the third hypothesis was rejected. It was found that boy subjects preformed significantly better than girls with respect to conservation concepts.
