AbstractWeak communication skills and social adjustment are secondary problems of children with ADHD, and paying attention to these problems is important for improving the social life of these children. The aim of this study was to compared the effectiveness of parent-child communication package and parent-child interaction therapy on communication and social adjustment skills of children with ADHD in a quasi-experimental design with a single-subject design. In this study, 12 measurements (4 times as baseline, 4 times during treatment and 4 times as follow-up) were performed. Of the mothers of 6 to 12 years old children with ADHD in Isfahan along with their children, 6 mothers (n=12) were selected by purposive sampling and were randomly assigned into two groups of parent-child communication and parent-child interactive therapy. Then, 11 sessions of parent-child communication package for the first group and 12 sessions of parent-child interaction therapy for the second group were administered. The research tools were the Jerabec (2004) communication skills questionnaire and the Vineland Social Adaptation Scale (1935). The results showed that parent-child communication package and parent-child interaction therapy affected the communication skills of children with ADHD, but the effects of these treatments were reduced in the follow-up period. Also, only the parent-child communication package had a lasting effect on the social adjustment of children with ADHD. Therefore, the parent-child communication package plays a more effective role in improving the communication and social adjustment skills of children with ADHD than the parent-child interaction therapy.

Humans can find personal significance through work, and so work can be considered as the foundation and center of human life. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate how the proactive personality and personal and organizational spirituality of nurses can improve the perception of meaningful work and job engagement. The method of this research was descriptive-correlational type. The statistical population of the study consisted of all nurses working in Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2019, which 270 of them were selected by cluster random sampling. Questionnaires of individual and organizational spirituality, proactive personality, meaning of work and job engagement were used to collect data. After confirming reliability and validity of research tool, data were analyzed using Lisrel 8.8 software and by structural equation modeling approach. Findings indicate that although individual spirituality does not enhance nurses' experiences of meaningful work, this construct, together with variables of organizational spirituality and proactive personality, can be considered as antecedents of job engagement. Finally, the evidence confirms the relative mediating role of meaning of work in the relationship between these three constructs with job engagement in the study population.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on facial expression bias and fear of negative evaluation in paranoid students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test with control group. The research community was composed of all students referring to the counseling center of kashmar University of Medical Sciences in the year 2017-16, who were diagnosed according to Multidimensional Clinical Questionnaire-3 and DSM-5 criteria with paranoid attribution disorder (According to statistics obtained from the center 60 people). Of these, 20 students with paranoid characteristics were selected through purposeful sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 16 sessions of Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (HRT), Chuppita and did not receive interventional control.Multidimensional Clinical Questionnaire and Objective Fear Scale , were completed before and after the intervention by both groups. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS-22 software and inferential statistics of covariance analysis. The results of analysis of covariance showed that by eliminating the effect of pre-test scores on facial expression bias and fear of negative evaluation as a scattering variable, the main effect of Modular cognitive-behavioral therapy on facial expression bias and fear of negative evaluation in post-test is significant (P>0/05). Therefore, Modular cognitive behavioral therapy can be used as an effective method to reduce interpretation bias and fear of negative evaluation of people with paranoid traits.

In addition, it was found that hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions explained 22% of the variance in sexual anxiety (R Square= 0.22). It was also found that 23% of the variance in sexual depression is explained by hypomanic activation and demoralization. Hypomanic activation and demoralization also account for 14% of the variance in sexual motivation.The findings of the present study indicate the role of hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions in anxiety, depression and sexual motivation in patients with sexual dysfunction.

The purpose of this study was to test the causal relationship between cultural intelligence and academic vitality with self-directed learning through mediating academic procrastination in female students of Islamic Azad University of Dezful. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population consisted of all female students of Islamic Azad University of Dezful, among whom 354 were selected by stratified random sampling. Fisher et al. (2001), Dehgani Zadeh and Hossein Chari (2012), Solomon & Rathblum academic procrastination (1984), and Ang et al.'s cultural intelligence (2004) were used to measure research variables. The proposed model was evaluated using path analysis. The results showed that in the whole sample, all path coefficients between variables were statistically significant. In addition, the direct paths of cultural intelligence, academic vitality, and academic procrastination to self-directed learning were statistically significant. Also, the direct paths of cultural intelligence and academic vitality to academic procrastination were also significant. On the other hand, the results showed that the indirect relationship between cultural intelligence and academic vitality with self-directed learning through academic procrastination was significant.
