The aim of this research was to compare emotional suppression, prosocial behavior and perceived competence in adolescents with and without experiencing childhood abuse.MethodsThis research was a descriptive study of causal-comparative studies. The studied population were all female students of the first and second grade of Gorgan city in the academic year 2022-2023. From the research community, 100 students (50 students with childhood abuse experience and 50 students without childhood abuse experience) were selected as a sample in a multi-stage cluster.Research toolsEmotional Suppression Questionnaire: This questionnaire has 84 items and 10 subscales, and is used to measure three different constructs including distress, self-control, and defensiveness. The reliability of the questionnaire in the present study was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.79. Prosocial Behavior Questionnaire: This questionnaire has 30 items and consists of seven subscales, which basically measure the two factors of empathy directed towards others and helping. The reliability of the questionnaire in the present study was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.93. Competency Perception Questionnaire: This questionnaire has 4 subscales and 27 questions in Likert format, which subscales are: behavioral competence, academic competence, social competence and physical competence. The reliability of the questionnaire in the present study was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.86. Child abuse self-report questionnaire: This questionnaire was prepared in 2000 and has 38 items that measure and evaluate a range of child abuse behavior. The reliability of the questionnaire in the present study was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.91.ResultsThe findings showed that the components of emotional suppression, prosocial behavior and perception of competence in adolescents with and without the experience of harassment have significant differences (p<0.05).ConclusionBased on this, it can be concluded that teenagers who have experienced harassment because they think the outside world is unsafe and have a negative view of themselves, others and the environment. In the components of emotional suppression, they obtained higher scores and in social behaviors and perception of competence, they obtained lower scores.

The aim of this study was designing and testing a model for precedents of prosocial behavior in students of Shahid Chamran University in Ahvaz. In this model, empathy is independent variable that directly and indirectly predicted prosocial behaviors by mediation of religiosity, moral identity and prosocial moral reasoning using AMOS. 438 undergraduate students were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used for testing the proposed model. Results showed that the direct paths from empathy to prosocial behavior, empathy to prosocial reasoning, religiosity to prosocial behavior, and prosocial reasoning to prosocial behavior were non-significant. After omitting, non-significant paths, the model fitted the data properly.

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the range of emotional instability, prosocial behaviour and aggression with academic performance in third grade guidance school students of Ahvaz. The seven major hypotheses of this study were: 1) there is a relationship between the range of students’ emotional instability and academic performance; 2) there is a relationship between the student’s prosocial behaviour and academic performance; 3) there is a relation between the students’ aggression and academic performance; 4) there is a correlation between the emotional instability and aggression; 5) there is a correlation between the emotional instability and prosocial behaviour; 6) there is a correlation between the prnsocial behaviour and aggression; 7) multiple correlation coefficient of variables exceeds the mild correlation coefficient of each variable compared to academic performance. The sample of The research consisted of 400 boys and girls selected randomly from four Educational Districts Qf Ahvaz. The results indicate that emotional instability and aggression have negative correlation with academic performance, (r=-0.18) and (r= -0.18) respectively; whereas prosocial behavior is positively correlated with academic performance. The multiple regression of this study showed that Prosocial Behvaiour and Emotional Instability were the best predicting variables for Academic Performance.
