The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid collaborative knowledge building model to encounter emerging situations according to Scardamalia, Bereiter, & Stahl perspectives. Forty mechanical engineering students voluntarily participated in a time overcoming race designed by Yazd university's mechanical engineering professors. Students encountered an emergent problem on the day of the competition (which involved building a boat to carry at least one kilogram in the shortest possible time, and over the course of the long haul). Specific equipment and limited time were provided equally to all teams to examine the process of rapid collaborative knowledge building. After the competition (5 hours) and the results were announced, the 3 groups were named as successful and the other groups were named as unsuccessful. The qualitative method of grounded theory was used. Quantitative data were collected by from focus group interviews (open, axial and selective coding), observations and scientific resources (scientific documents). Grounded theory was developed based on data triangulation. The results showed that rapid collaborative knowledge building is concerned on the factors: communication, team organization, use the tools, planning & idea storming, achievement motivation, positive perfectionism & time management.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of quality of life therapy training and dialectical behavioral therapy on enduring the anxiety of female undergraduate psychology students at the Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch, who were addicted to smartphones. In this semi-experimental study, among students whose scores on the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) were two above the mean standard deviation and on the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS), one was lower than the mean standard deviation, 45 Individuals were randomly selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group.The number of people in all three groups was 15. The subjects of the first and second groups were trained for 8 two-hour sessions based on quality of life techniques and dialectical behavioral therapy, but the control group did not receive any training. At the last session, questionnaires were again administered for all three groups. Three months after the post-test, a stress tolerance questionnaire was administered to all subjects to determine the effects of time training techniques.The results of single-variable covariance analysis showed that the teaching of dialectical behavioral therapy techniques was effective in increasing anxiety tolerance compared to quality of life therapy (P <0.05). Also, the results of one-way analysis of variance showed that the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy training techniques in quarterly follow-up has been maintained (P <0.01). So by teaching dialectical behavior therapy techniques, you can improve the tolerance of distress, which is probably one of the reasons for addiction to smartphones.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the most common behavioral disorder in childhood and adolescents. The deficit in attention, hyperactivity and impulsity could affect the edcations and social relations. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotion Regulation on distress tolerance and suicide ideation disorder in adolescents. The statistical population of this study included all Tehran city female high school students in academic year 2019-2020. 45 students were selected, using a purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. To collect data Conner’s Adult ADHD Rating Scale (Conner’s, Erhardt & Sparrow (1999), Distress Tolerance Scale of Simmons & Gahr (2005) and Beck & Steer (1987) Suicide Ideation Scale were implemented. This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest, posttest and follow-up design with control group. The experimental groups underwent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (12 sessions 60 minutes each) and Emotion Regulation training (8 sessions of 45 minutes), while the control group received no training. Data were analysed using covariance analysis. The results showed that Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotion Regulation training were significantly effective to increase distress tolerance and decrease Suicide Ideation in students (p < 0.01); There was no significant difference between the two treatments in increasing distress tolerance but Dialectical Behavior Therapy had a greater impact on improving adolescents suicide ideation than Emotion Regulation Training.

Abstract Due to the difficulty in emotion regulation and executive functions of obese adolescents, psychological interventions have a great importance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-regulation training on weight control, executive functions and emotion regulation in overweight and obese adolescents. The research design was semi-experimental with control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of obese and overweight adolescents in Isfahan who referred to health centers in Isfahan in 1398. Samples were selected by convenience sampling from those referring to health centers in Isfahan. Research tools including Gratz and Romer (2004) emotion regulation difficulty questionnaire, Wisconsin and Stroop test were used to measure executive functions. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results of the analysis showed that self-regulation training was effective on participants' BMI, emotion regulation, and executive functions. However, BMI as the second independent variable was not effective in the results of the study. Behavioral regulation training is effective on body mass index, emotion regulation, and executive functions regardless of participants' level of obesity and overweight. According to the research results, it can be concluded that self-regulatory training can improve weight control, executive functions and emotion regulation of obese and overweight adolescents. These results can be explained as self-regulatory training has skills and exercises that it is closely related to eating behavior, emotion regulation, and executive functions.

Purpose of study: the first aim of this study is to investigate the association between quality of curriculum and academic engagement. The second aim is to study the extent to which psychological self-efficacy can mediate this association. Method: to study our hypotheses, samples of 600 undergraduate students of university of Guilan were recruited by simple random sampling technique. Participants were asked to complete scales on quality of curriculum, academic engagement and psychological self-efficacy. Results: Pearson correlation analysis showed that there is a positive significant relationship between quality of curriculum and academic engagement. Moreover, path coefficients of structural equation modeling revealed that the direct effect of quality of curriculum on academic engagement is significant. Furthermore, it supported the mediating role of psychological self-efficacy in the association between quality of curriculum and academic engagement. Practical Implications: In case the quality of curriculum in the University of Guilan is enough good, psychological self-efficacy of students would be potentially good factor to further develop their academic engagement. Originality: this study suggests quality of curriculum and psychological self-efficacy as two main variables contributing students to develop their academic engagement.

Emotional disturbance is a central attribute of pathology in various disorders, in particular obsessive-compulsive disorder. Anger is one of the main emotions that has been neglected and these few findings have many contradictions and a lot of turmoil. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an integrated model for experiencing anger in these individuals. This research was qualitative research and was the kind of grounded theory. Participants were 29 individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder who were selected by purposeful sampling and snowball sampling. Also Data collection was through semi-structured interviews, narrative interviews and imagery. In order to analyze the data, the systematic scheme of Strauss and Corbin was used based on three open, axial and selective coding steps. Then the categories were organized in a paradigmatic grounded model. The results of this research show the causal conditions, context, intervening conditions, how to experience anger, management strategies and its consequences in these individuals. These findings emphasize the need for preventive programs based on causative variables and the design of therapeutic programs based on these findings to improve the symptoms of the disorder. Further research is needed to revise and complete the identity of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
