Introduction: Wisdom is one of the important psychological characteristics that increases psychological and social well-being. According to different definitions related to wisdom, there is a complex interaction between wisdom and moral development because the behavior of wise people is mainly accompanied by moral foundations. Considering the signicant role of intelligence in the definitions of wisdom and the influence of it in interpersonal relationships and wise behavior, moral intelligence and emotional intelligence were chosen as two influencing variables in wisdom. This research is important due to the lack of information about the structures that are effective in wisdom and its important role in solving various life problems of the society and was conducted with the aim of determining the mediating role of moral intelligence and emotional intelligence in the relationship between moral development and wisdom of students.Method: It was with a volume of 15,000 students and the sample is 240 students of Allameh Tabatabai University and they were selected by cluster sampling method. The tools used include: Schering's 1996 emotional intelligence questionnaire which has 5 subscales of self-awareness, spontaneity, self-control, empathy, and social skills - Lenik and Keel's 2005 moral intelligence that measures 10 competencies - Webster's 2007 wisdom, including 40 items, and Graham's moral foundations 2011, which measures 5 ethical dimensions. The findings were analyzed bu structural equation modeling and using AMOS.v22 and SPSS.v23 software.Results:The results showed that moral development (P=0.001), moral intelligence (P=0.001) and emotional intelligence (P=0.019) have a direct and significant relationship with wisdom. In addition, the indirect relationship between moral development and wisdom through the mediation of moral intelligence was significant (P=0.01). Therefore, the research model has a favorable fit and moral intelligence plays a mediating role in the relationship between moral development and wisdom.Conclusion:This research provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics between moral development, emotional intelligence, and wisdom. In particular, it emphasizes the pivotal role of moral intelligence as a mediator in the relationship between moral development and wisdom.The results indicate that if the moral growth increases, the structure of wisdom in people will increase. Certainly, with the increase of moral intelligence in people, moral growth is positively affected and wisdom also grows due to accurate goal choices and understanding the meaning of life. Also, with the increase in emotional intelligence, human behavior and emotions are controlled and regulated and increase wisdom. In order to generalize the results, it is suggested to carry out more research on other samples, and by holding workshops and classes related to wisdom and the structures that affect it, the psychological and social well-being of the society was increased.

IntroductionDriving behavior is a behavior that a driver chooses as a pattern for his driving, and it depends on three factors: the driver, the vehicle, and factors related to the driving route. The driver's psychological and personality characteristics are the most important factors in his driving behavior and the driver behavior is related to his emotional and behavioral characteristics. Many studies have shown the role of emotional intelligence as one of the most important determinants of driver behavior. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our own and others' emotions which play a key role in all kinds of personal, social and professional situations. Some research have shown that high emotional intelligence is associated with greater ability to manage emotions, and low emotional intelligence is often associated with greater involvement in risky behaviors. Emotional intelligence can improve through training and have a positive effect on people's performance. Adults can learn to manage their behaviors and emotional reactions. Considering the importance of emotional intelligence in reducing inappropriate driving behaviors, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the mental health training program of drivers on their emotional intelligence. MethodIn the present study, in order to enhance the emotional intelligence abilities of bus drivers through psychosocial training, a quasi-experimental with a pre- and post-test design was used. The driver training project of Tehran Bus Company has been started since 2011 and is implemented in different phases on drivers who are applying for employment in the Company. In one of the phases, 88 bus drivers from Tehran Bus Company who received 9 training sessions on anger management, retaliatory driving, stress management and effective communication participated in the study. Bar-On (1977) emotional intelligence test was used to collect data in two stages of pre-test and post-test. This questionnaire is a self-assessment tool that can be used for people over 18 years old. In the present study, a shortened form of the questionnaire was used, in which there are 54 items related to 9 scales of problem solving, stress tolerance, emotional self-awareness, interpersonal relationships, optimism, impulse control, flexibility, empathy, and self-expression. ResultsThe research findings of multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measures and univariate analysis of variance showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores of four subscales. This difference is significant for the subscales of problem solving, emotional self-awareness and optimism at the 0.01 level and for the subscale of interpersonal relationships at the 0.05 level. In other words, participating in the training program has led to an increase in the ability of the participants in these subscales. Also, the value of F in these 4 subscales of emotional intelligence is equal to 7.70, 16.48, 11.52, and 5.29, respectively. DiscussionThe findings show the effectiveness of the program on some components of emotional intelligence. In other words, the training course on socio-emotional interventions can be considered effective in promoting drivers' emotional intelligence.

IntroductionEmotional intelligence refers to the differences between individuals in identifying motivation, emotions, and feelings, and controlling emotions, both in the individual and in social relationships. In fact, emotional Intelligence is the ability to process information related to one's emotions and the ability to use the information as a guide for understanding and acting. (MacCann et al., 2020). According to Bar-On (2003), emotional intelligence and teaching this skill deals with oneself, others, and the environment. Therefore, it should be more adaptive to changing conditions and be more successful in meeting environmental demands. Responsibility in the educational situation is broad in scope and guarantees health indicators and improved quality of life of children in school. In addition, recently, scientific interest in the problems of stress and coping with it has been increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotional intelligence training for preschool teachers on their responsibility and coping skills. MethodThe research method is applied based on purpose and based on data collection, quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and control group. The statistical population includes preschool teachers in Izeh City in 2020. From the target population, 30 people were selected by random sampling method and assigned to experimental (15) and control (15) groups. First, pre-tests were performed for both groups. The experimental group received emotional intelligence training in 10 sessions of 45 minutes over two months. The instruments used in the pre-test and post-test include the Responsibility subscale of the California Psychological Inventory and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance by SPSS-23 software. ResultsThe results obtained by comparing the post-test of independence variables in the two groups by controlling the effect of the pre-test, after emotional intelligence training showed the scores of responsibility and Task-oriented coping who participated in the experimental group compared to those in the control group Were significantly increased (P <0.01). The results also showed that the scores of the components of emotion-oriented coping and avoidant-oriented coping who participated in the experimental group, compared to those who were replaced in the control group decreased (P ≤.01). In general results showed that emotional intelligence training has a significant effect on the responsibility (F=20.20, p<0.0001) and coping skills (included: Task-oriented coping: F=11.25, p<0.003; Emotion-oriented coping: F=14.75, p<0.001; Avoidant-oriented coping: F=5.07, p<0.004) of preschool teachers. ConclusionTherefore, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence training is an effective method to increase preschool teachers’ responsibility and positive coping skills by using techniques such as familiarity with the concept of emotion, emotional awareness, identifying emotions, accepting emotions, confronting emotions, and personal responsibility skills. Also, emotional intelligence training because it emphasizes both cognitive and emotional factors, affects preschool teacher’s responsibility and coping skills.

Introduction Regarding to today's competitive world and the key role of human resources in the success and failure of organizations and the importance of employees' emotions in their mental health and their psychological well-being, this study aimed to investigate the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on psychological health and emotional commitment of employees, with the moderating role of emotional intelligence and psychological capital. The emotional labor was first introduced in 1983 by the American sociologist Hochschild, and then attracted much attention. Hochschild (1983) believed it has two types: surface acting and deep acting. Surface acting occurs when a person expresses particular emotions without really experiencing them. In other words, the person adjusts the feelings that he expresses and considers himself merely as an actor. On the other hand, a deep acting occurs when a person experiences the feelings he expresses. Hochschild (1983) stated that managing occupational excitement (deep acting) requires a lot of effort and it costs a lot to the person. Mental health is one of the variables that dissonance emotions can affect it. Carl Menanger's (1990) definition of mental health is that the individual compromises with the world around him/her as much as possible, so that his/her effective and beneficial happiness can be fully realized. Another factor that has been examined as the result of dissonance emotions in this study is emotional commitment. commitment as "the degree of identification of a person with a particular organization and the degree of involvement and engagement with that organization." The emotional commitment refers to the linkage and replication of the employee with the organization. Increasing emotional commitment means increasing the sense of loyalty, belonging, and solidity (Meyer, Allen and Smith, 1993). Considering the existing research background, a number of variables can be considered as moderating the relationship between disagreement with mental health and emotional commitment. In this study, the role of emotional intelligence and psychological capital has been investigated. Method The statistical population of this study was all employees of all branches of Maskan Bank of Ahvaz. Multi-stage random sampling was used to collect the data. In this research, 121 employees of Ahvaz branch of Sepah bank participated. Since the present study was descriptive, Pearson correlation and regression tests were used to describe and analyze the demographic characteristics of descriptive variables such as mean and standard deviation, as well as to test the research hypotheses. The analyzes were performed using SPSS version 22 software. In this study, for collecting data, the questionnaire of the imposition of dissonant emotions (Naring et al., 2000), mental health (Goldberg & Hiller, 1979), emotional commitment (Allen & Meyer, 1990), emotional intelligence (Shot et al., 1998) and psychological capital (Lutans et al., 2007), were used. Results The results of regression analysis showed that the imposition of dissonant emotions has a significant role in decreasing mental health and emotional commitment of employees. In addition, emotional intelligence and psychological capital managed to modify the relationship between these variables. In other words, emotional intelligence and psychological capital were able to reduce the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on mental health and emotional commitment. Accordingly, it is suggested to design and implement a series of educational programs to increase emotional intelligence and psychological capital in order to reduce the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on the mental health and emotional commitment of employees. Conculsion Accordingly, it is suggested to design and implement a series of educational programs to increase emotional intelligence and psychological capital in order to reduce the effect of imposing dissonance emotions on the mental health and emotional commitment of employees.

The present study was conducted with the purpose of predicting group membership of academic giftedness and ordinariness in first grade high school students, using variables such as academic motivation, goal orientation, emotional intelligence, metacognition, direction strategies, deep approach to study, self-efficacy, academic adjustment and personality traits. Nine questionnaires used in this study were: 1- Inventory of School Motivation (ISM) 2- Academic Goal Orientation (AGOR) 3- Schutte Emotional Intelligence (SSEIT) 4- Metacognition Awareness Inventory (MAI) 5- Inventory of Learning Style (ILS) 6- The Approaches to Study Inventory (ASI) 7- The Patterns of Adaptive Learning Study (PALS) 8- Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS) 9- NEO-FFI. To carry out the study, two samples consisting of 178 ordinary male and female high school students together with 135 gifted male and female high school students were randomly selected. To test the hypotheses and predict groups’ membership, discriminant analysis was used. Using the Enter method, the result showed that the difference between the two groups of gifted and ordinary students was significant. Using Stepwise method, effective variables were: 1- external direction 2- metacognitive regulation 3- appraisal and expression of emotion 4- deep approach to study 5- performance goal orientation 6- academic adjustment 7- intrinsic motivation 8- conscientiousness 9- neuroticism 10- avoidance performance goal orientation. Besides, when the variables were separately used to predict groups membership, variables such as performance goal orientation, avoidance performance goal orientation, appraisal and expression of emotion, metacognitive regulation, external direction, deep approach to study, academic adjustment, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience remained significant.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational health among high school principals. The method was correlational. The sample was 200 high schools principals (107 female and 93 male) in Tehran, who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and Organizational Health Inventory (OH-S) (1997) were administered to principals. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used for data analysis. The results indicated that there was a significant and positive correlation between emotional intelligence, emotional regulation, emotional utilization, emotional evaluation and organizational health (institutional integrity, principal influence, consideration, resource support, morale, and academic emphasis). Also, emotional intelligence could predict organizational health among high school principals. The findings showed that there is a relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational health in schools. This could be helpful in planning preventional programs in schools.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, social skills and psychological well-being in Shahid Chamran University female students. The population of this study was all of the female students who were studying in 1387-88 academic year. Among these, 317 students were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. The scales used in this study were Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), Social Skills Inventory (SSI) and Psychological Well-Being (WBI). Simple, canonical and multiple correlations were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that subscales of emotional intelligence and social skills predicted psychological well-being meaning that the more emotional intelligence and social skills that students have, the more psychologically healthy they were. In addition, contrary to the expectations, social sensitivity predicted psychological well-beingm, negatively. Also results of canonical correlation analysis indicated that four canonical variates (canonical dimension) are necessary to understand the association between the two sets of variables.
