The purpose of this Study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotional intelligence training on social competence, performance on theory of mind tasks and help seeking improvement in students with learning disabilities. The participants, who participated in this experimental study, included 40 male fifth and sixth graders in Ahvaz, selected through multi stage random sampling. The instruments of the study were the Felner Social Competence Scale, the Stemman Theory of Mind Test and Pintrich and Ryan’s help seeking scale. The subjects in this study were divided in two groups (1 experimental and 1 control group). The experimental group was subject to Emotional intelligence training while the control group didn't receive any treatment. Both the experimental and control groups participated in a pre-test and post-test. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Multivariate test. The results showed that there was a meaningful difference between the performances of two groups. The performance of the experimental group regarding social competence, the theory of mind test and help seeking had been improved in the post-test. Results suggest the importance of the application of emotional intelligence training in improving social performances in children with learning disorders.

The present study intends to investigate that whether there is a difference among the nine combinational groups of intelligence and creativity from the standpoint of personality traits. To arrive at an empirical answer, tIrst, from all first grade high school students in Ahvaz, a primary sample including 4500 subjects was chosen randomly via a multistage random technique. Then these subjects took the creativity paper and pencil test. Also, the IQ scores of the subjects, were obtained from school archive Subsequently, the primary sample was divided into three groups of low, intermediate and high levels from the standpoint of intelligence and creativity scores. Therefore, we ended up with nine groups. Then, 1440 subjects were selected from the primary sample as the secondary sample (nine groups). Finally, the 16 PF test was administered to all the nine groups. The results revealed that with regards to the personality characteristics of abstract- concrete, sentimental- emotionally stable, expedient- conscientious, controlledundisciplined, relaxed- tense, traits, there are significant differences among the nine combinational groups of intelligence and creativity.
