The aim of this research was to investigate the mediating role of dependence and non-dependence on the field in the relationship between personality traits and cognitive performance with nurses' job performance. Psychologists consider job performance as a product of human behavior and believe that motivations and needs have an effect on people's performance and ultimately growth and development. They can be identified through a set of specific owners. Theoretically, job performance includes two components, the first component is job performance that reflects job requirements and requirements, and the second component is field performance that includes undefined and unspecified activities such as teamwork and support. It takes In fact, background work refers to those job-related activities (such as working hard and helping others) that are not officially considered part of the job or duty. Another core theory is related to job performance, the underlying ground of this theory is that the internal nature of job duties can motivate people. If the job is interesting and enjoyable, people will like their jobs, have higher motivation and perform their duties better. One of the influencing variables on people's job performance is cognitive performance. MethodThe current research was descriptive-correlational and of the type of structural equations and modeling. The statistical population includes nurses from hospitals in Shiraz and the sample size, using the table of krejci and Morgan (1970), including 200 nurses from different hospitals in Shiraz, who were selected by cluster sampling. And through the measurement tools of cognitive style test of dependence and non-dependence on the field of Eltman, Raskin and Witkin (1971), Costa McGarry personality traits questionnaire (1985), Patterson job performance questionnaire (1970) and Ridley-Stroop Stroop test (1935). Were evaluated. The data were analyzed using structural equations. ResultsThe findings confirmed the mediating effect of dependence and non-dependence on the field in the relationship between personality traits and cognitive performance with nurses' job performance.DiscussionIn fact, cognitive style is the result of a person's interactions with his environment in the process of growth and socialization, and it is effective on a person's attitude and attitude towards others and the way he communicates with them, and this process leads to his job performance in adulthood. to be effective and act with more social resilience in the face of job difficulties and problems and perform best by acquiring job information. Cognitive style reacts to information, stimuli and situations in a spontaneous and automatic way and enables a person to learn strategies and methods with the help of them from the maximum points Use the strengths and advantages of your style and minimize the weaknesses and limitations and show the best performance.

Aim: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of cognitive load on reaction to the other's trust, with the moderating role of personality traits.
Methods: Using available sampling method 85 at Persian Gulf University were selected and were asked to complete the HEXACO personality inventory. Then, using random assignment method, they were divided into four groups (four levels of cognitive load from no cognitive load to high cognitive load. Finally, participants were asked to complete a scenario that examined reaction to other's trust, under a variety of degrees of cognitive loads, mentioned above. The data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis (utilizing Baron and Keaney's method for assessing moderating effect).
Results: The results indicated that cognitive load causes a decrease in reaction to other's trust (R=0.683) and that each personality trait could moderate the effect of cognitive load on reaction to other’s trust.
Conclusion: Considering the ever-increasing cognitive load caused by the explosion of information in the modern age, it is necessary to identify and strengthen the personality traits underlying trusting interpersonal relationships

IntroductionMarriage as the most important human relationship and marital life is one of the most complex life cycle transitions. The marital adjustment was first considered by Spanier as a permanent process based on the degree of agreement of the couple on important issues in the marital relationship, such as the degree of participation in the joint activities as well as emotional and physical intimacy. One of the factors of marital adjustment is paying attention to the initial relationships of the individual in the main family, which has a lasting effect on the quality and success of marital life. The aim of this study was to predict marital adjustment based on personality traits through emotion regulation, conflict management and sexual intimacy of teacher couples in Kermanshah.MethodThis research is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of this study included all married teachers in Kermanshah in the period 1300-1499, from which 300 married teachers were selected by random sampling. Research information using the Marital Adjustment Scale Questionnaire (Spanier, 1976), Personality Traits Questionnaire (Costa and McCree, 1985), Emotion Difficulty Scale (Gertz and Roemer, 2004), Conflict Resolution and Sexual Intimacy from the Questionnaire subscale Enrich's marital satisfaction (Olson, 1998) was collected and analyzed using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software.

The purpose of this study was testing a model of causal relationships of family communication patterns (conversation and conformity), metacognition and personality traits (openness to experience and conscientiousness) with critical thinking disposition mediated by epistemic beliefs of female high school students in Ahvaz, in 2016. The sample consisted of 402 high school students who were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. In this study, five questionnaires were used for collecting data, Family Communication Patterns of Koerner and Fitzpatrick, Metacognitive Awareness of Schraw and Dennison, NEO Five-Factor Questionnaire, Epistemic Beliefs of Bayless and Critical Thinking Disposition of Ricketts. Structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used for analyzing the data. The results showed that all the path coefficients were statistically significant. The relationships of conversation, metacognition, conscientiousness, openness to experience and epistemic beliefs with critical thinking disposition were positive and significant and the relationship of conformity with critical thinking disposition was significant but negative. The model fit indices showed that the model fitted the data properly. The indirect paths were also tested, using bootstrap procedure of Preacher and Hayes. The results indicated that all the indirect hypotheses have been confirmed.

The purpose of this study was designing and testing a model of some antecedents (conscientious, agreeableness, neuroticism and ethical context) and outcomes (organizational support, affective commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors) of ethical leadership. The samples consisted of 213 employees of Karun Oil and Gas Production Company who were selected through stratified random sampling. The participants in this study completed the NEO, ethical context, ethical leadership, perceived organizational support, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior questionnaires. The fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-19 and AMOS-18 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. Better fit and more meaningful results were obtained by using AMOS modification indices. The results confirmed the positive relationship of conscientious, agreeableness and ethical context with ethical leadership and the negative relationship of neuroticism with ethical leadership. In addition, perceived organizational support was positively related to affective commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior and ethical leadership was positively related to perceived organizational support, affective commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors. All indirect paths were also significant.

The present study focuses on the relationship between personality traits and the preparedness for drug addiction in the workers of an industrial company in the city of Mehran. 115 of the company’s workers were chosen for the study based on availability. They answered 4 questionnaires pertaining to personality traits, life satisfaction, spiritual intelligence and the Iranian (version of the) questionnaire of the preparedness for addiction. This study is correlational in nature and the data were analysed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and a multivariate regression analysis. The findings showed a positive relationship between neurosis and the preparedness for addiction. A negative relationship was found between other predictive variables and the preparedness for addiction. The highest correlation was related to neurosis, which was the study’s most important predictive variable. There was no significant relationship between openness and the preparedness for addiction. The linear multivariate regressive analysis for personality traits, life satisfaction and spiritual intelligence with the preparedness for addiction was significant at 0.05. Findings support a relationship between personal traits, , life satisfaction and spiritual intelligence with the preparedness for drug addiction in the workers of this company.

The purpose of this study was to investigale the relationship of personality traits with academic self-handicapping and the comparison of parenting styles in terms of the later variable in the third grade of high school students in Behbahan. Statistical population included the third- grade high school boys and girls in academic year of 1389-1390. 353 students were selected from this population by multistage random sampling method, including 175 boys and 178 girls. Academic self handicapping questionnaire, parenting style questionnaire and NEO personality questionnaire were used to measure variables of the study. Statistical methods of one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regressions (Enter and Stepwise) were used for data analysis. ANOVA results indicated that there were significant differences between parenting styles in regard of academic self handicapping. The results of multiple regression analysis by enter method showed that 16% of the academic self handicapping variance was explained by personality variables. Also result of multivariate regression analysis by stepwise method showed that neuroticism and openness to experience were able to predict academic self handicapping.

The aim of this research was to specify the causal relationships of IQ and fluid intelligence with academic performance, mediated by personality traits and learning approaches of female students in sophemore and junior high school students of Azna. The sample consisted of 260 students who were selected by simple random method. In this research, the students completed Personal Information Questionnaire, Raven Intelligence Test, Fluid Intelligence Test, the abbreviated version of the Big Five Personality Inventory and the Study Process Questionnaire. The academic performance of students was the average of their final exams of that year. The statistical method was structural equation modeling. The results showed that the proposed model fitted the data and that direct paths from IQ to academic performance and from agreeableness to academic performance was positive and significant. Direct paths from deep learning approach to academic performance and from IQ to deep learning approach was positive and significant. Direct paths from IQ to openness and from IQ to agreeableness was also positive and significant. The mediating role of personality traits and deep learning approach was also confirmed. The indirect effect of IQ on academic performance through openness to experience and deep learning approach was significant and positive. The indirect effect of IQ on academic performance through conscientiousness was also significant and positive. The indirect effect of IQ on academic performance through agreeableness was also significant and positive and the indirect effect of fluid intelligence on academic performance through conscientiousness was also significant and positive.

The present study examined personality traits and organizational variables as predictors of accident-involvement in bus drivers. The population of this research was from a company in Tehran. The sample consisted of 150 subjects from accident-involved bus drivers and another equal number from accident-free drivers who were selected by the use of simple random sampling. The hypothesis, concerning the predictive roles of personality traits and organizational variables (as job satisfaction, organizational justice and interpersonal conflict at work) in distinguishing accident-involved drivers from accident-free ones, was tested. In order to analyze the data, both discriminant analysis and descriptive statistics were used. Findings revealed the fact that accident-involvement can be predicted from the two sets of research variables. The results of the study and the model was discussed in the paper.

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

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.
