< p >This study examined the simple and multiple relationships of fear of success, self-esteem, perfectionism and fear of negative evaluation with imposter syndrome in graduate students of shahid chamran university (Ahvaz-Iran). Two samples including 500 subjects were randomly selected for this study: 300 subjects for testing the hypothesis and 200 subjects for the scales validation phase. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression statistical methods. Subjects completed 5 scales: Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), Fear of Success Scale (FOSS), Eysenck’s Self-esteem Test (EST), Ahvaz Perfectionism Scale (APS) and Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNE). This research tested five major hypotheses about the relationships between the research variables. The results of the research indicated that fear of negative evaluation has a positive correlation and self-esteem has a negative correlation with imposter syndrome. In addition, multiple correlation of fear of success, self-esteem, perfectionism, and fear of negative evaluation with imposter syndrome was statistically significant. Fear of success and perfectionism were the best predictors of imposter syndrome, in female and male graduate students.

This study was conducted to investigate the fitness of structural model of the relationship between religious attitudes and optimism with mental and physical health. The sample consisited of 402 Shahid Chamran University students, studying in the academic year of 2001-2002. The sample was selected randomly. The measurements were Arian Religiousness Scale, Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ), Symptoms Checklist- 25 Scale and Physical Health Scale. The results of this research indicate that religious attitudes predict optimism, optimism predicts mental health and mental health predicts physical health. Also, religious attitudes predict mental and physical health indirectly and optimism predicts physical health indirectly.

The aim of this study was to compare artists in the fields of literature, theater acting music, and visual arts (Painting, etc) with non-artists regarding personality traits on NEO-PI. The samples consisted of 320 artists and 80 non-artists. Subjects were selected by stratified sampling random method for this project. The main hypothesis was that artists and non-artists, in general, differ regarding their personality traits. The data were analyzed by using MANOVA. The (F) ratioes obtained for Pillais, Hotellings and Wilks were 7.44, 7.98 and 7.77, respectively, which indicate significant differences. Furthermore, this study involved five sub-hypotheses for neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness scales. The data were analyzed through one way analysis of variance to test these sub-hypotheses. All test, except that for neuroticism, showed significant differences among artists and non-artists subjects. Since human responses to different situations depend on inner preparation called traits the confirmation of hypotheses were explained. Findings were discussed according to Cattell’s view

Using an experimental research design, the present study exmined the effectiveness of three kinds of therapy in the management of chronic back- pain among Ahvaz male high school teachers. The sample consisted of 100 patients suffering from chronic backpain. Twenty five subjects were randomly assigned to each one of the following four conditions: Three experimental groups (i.e., cognitive, relaxation and behavioral interventions) and one control group. The three management approaches exercised were stress inoculation (Miechenbaum and Turk, 1976), progressive muscular relaxation (Jacobson, 1962), and stimulus control (Kaunfer, 1980). Improvement in pain beliefs, pain behavior, pain self-efficacy, and depression were all employed as the four major improvement indices of pain management and treatment. The Pain Measures (Zarkowfska, 1988), Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (Nickolas, 1989), Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, 1961) and Chronic Pain Test (Asghari Moghaddam, 1995) were used to measure the dependent variables. Results of the preliminary stage indicated that the afore-mentioned pain measures are psychometrically sound, reliable and valid. Data analysis revealed that the treatment methods used are effective in reducing the chronic backpain indices. A one-way analysis of variance showed significant differences among the three treatment conditions; A Tukey test showed that cognitive group and progressive muscular relaxation group were superior to the control group in reducing the pain beliefs and depression. The behavioral group, however, showed no significant difference with the control group. Furthermore, all three experimental conditions were significantly more effective than the control condition in reducing the pain self-efficacy and pain behavior

The present paper reports the application of Flanagan Industrial Tests to predict the job performance of the technical personnel of Mobarekeh Steel Firm. Flanagan Industrial Tests have been prepared to be used in Iran, with satisfactory reliabitliy and validity by Shokrkon and Oreizi (1998). These tests have been designed to measure various aptitudes and abilities. The job performance of the technical personnel of Mobarekeh Steel Firm was assessed by their immediate supervisors, their co-workers, themselves and the organization. First, the tests were completed and returned by 159 technical employees. Then, data were collected about the employees’ performance. The obtained simple and multiple correlation coefficients indicate that the Flanagan Industrial Tests predict and are related to the different assessments of job performance. These relationships are higher when job performance is, assessed by employees themselve, their co-worker and the organization. It is suggested that self and co-worker assessments of job performance are employed in addition to the supervisor assessment.

Considering the effect of attitudes on behavior, the present research was conducted to examine the relationship between Esfahan industrial managers’ attitudes toward behavioral sciences and their college majors, length of employment, and extent of their familiarity with the behavioral sciences during the years of 1998-2000. A literature review indicated a paucity of research in this area. Three questionnaires with satisfactory reliability and validity were made and used in this study. The research population consisted of the managers of all industrial organizations having at least 100 personnel. 124 managers were selected randomly as the sample who completed and returned the questionnaires. The results indicated that managers majoring in management had a more positive attitude toward behavioral sciences than the managers majoring in engineering or the managers without a college degree. Managers with different lengths of employment were not different in their attitudes toward the behavioral sciences. However, managers having more familiarity with the behavioral sciences had a more positive attitudes toward these sciences.

This study was carried out to identify the major factors of acadmic uropout of high school male students in the city of Ahvaz, Iran. The sample consisted of 400 male students who were selected randomly from grades I to 4 of the three majors of mathematics, sciences, and humanities. The factors of academic dropout were identified by the statistical method of factor analysis. The hypotheses tested in this study claimed that the dropout factors have simple and multiple correlations with the number of permanent and temporary academic failures of the subjects. Two measures were used to collect the required data: a questionnaire containing 97 items concerning the academic dropout, and a measure to determine the number of students’ temporary and permanent academic failures at different grade levels. The factor analysis provided the following 10 factors: 1. curriculum problems, 2. family- health problems, 3. environmental- school problems, 4. social- behavioral problems, 5. growth problems, 6. examination problems, 7. textbook problems, 8. educational problems, 9. general problems, and 10. family conflicts. The results revealed that the four factors of carriculum, examination, textbooks, and educational problems had significant simple correlations with the number of students’ permanent failures. On the other hand, the stepwise multiple regression showed that only factor 6, i.e., examination problems, had an orthogonal relationship with the number of students’ permanent failures. The five factors of family- health, environmental school, educational, general problems, and family conflicts had significant simple correlations with the number of students’ temporory failures, while, the four factors of family- health, general, educational, and environmental- school problems had a multiple correlation with the number of students’ tempovary failures.
