Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between identity styles and self-handicapping by canonical correlation analysis.
Methodology: The design of the current research was descriptive-correlational and focal correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationships between two sets of predictor changes (identity styles) and criteria (dimensions of self-impairment). The statistical population of the study was high school students in Bojnourd. By multi-stage random sampling, 210 students were selected. Data collection was done with the identity styles questionnaire (Berzonsky, 1992) and the self-management scale (Jones, and Rhodewalt, 1982). Data analysis was done with Pearson correlation coefficient and focal correlation using SPSS.27 software.
Findings: Findings from the analyses indicated a significant relationship between identity styles and self-handicapping dimensions. The common variance of identity styles and self-handicapping was 28%. In the function of identity styles, informational identity was most important (0.81) and in the function of self-handicapping, it was assigned to claim self-handicapping (-0.99).
Conclusion: In general, the processing of identity information can impact the use of self-handicapping strategies, and teenagers with an informational and normative identity and a high identity commitment use less self-handicapping behaviors.

Purpose: One of the important issues in the higher education system is the ineffective behavior of university professors, which has received less attention and no comprehensive objective criteria has been designed to investigate it. The purpose of this study was to compile and validate a questionnaire to investigate the ineffective behaviors of university professors. Methodology: This was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population included faculty members of five universities in Tehran (Tehran, Shahid Beheshti, Kharazmi, Allameh Tabatabai and Tarbiat Modares (in the academic year of 2019-2020. The research sample consisted of 123 teaching professors, who were selected by the purpose-based available sampling method. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire of university professors' ineffective behaviors with 64 items in three factors; educational (3 components), research (4 components) and communication (5 components). The data were analyzed with the methods of content validity ratio, content validity index and exploratory factor analysis in SPSS and Smart-PLS software. Finding: The content validity ratio and content validity index for all three educational, research and communication factors and their components were above 0.80. The exploratory factor analysis of ineffective behaviors of university professors showed three factors, educational factor with 3 components, research factor with 4 components and communication factor with 5 components. A factor loading higher than 0.60, and Cronbach's and combined reliability higher than 0.70 were calculated. The calculated R2 for all factors and components was higher than 0.50 and the GOF index equal to 0.43 indicated the appropriate fit of the model. The model of inefficient behaviors was drawn in the modes of factor loading and t-test, based on which the inefficient behaviors of university professors had a significant effect on educational, research and communication factors and their components due to the t-statistic higher than 1.96. Conclusion: The questionnaire of the current research is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the ineffective behaviors of university professors. University administrators can use it to measure the level of ineffective behavior of professors under their supervision to design preventive or improvement programs.

Purpose: The general purpose of the current research was to test the fan interaction model, fan identity and brand image of the selected teams of the Iranian Premier League (study: fans of Persepolis, Esteghlal, Tractorsazi and Sepahan).Methodology: The present research was descriptive of the correlation type and based on structural equation modeling with the partial least squares approach, and in terms of its purpose, it is considered a part of applied research. The current research community is the fans of Iran's premier football league. Meanwhile, four teams (Perspolis, Esteghlal, Tractorsazi and Sepahan) were selected as the top four teams of the 2019-20 league respectively. Due to the fact that the size of the statistical population is unlimited, stratified random sampling was used. In this research, the scale of fan interaction with the brand was used from the Desart questionnaire (2017), the brand image of Tim Bauer et al. (2008) and the team identity of Mile and Ashworth (1992). Structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach and Smart Pls version 3 software were used for data analysis.Findings: The results showed that fan interaction has a significant positive effect on the brand image and identity of team fans.Conclusion: Finally, the research model had a strong fit and can be used as an operational model in the Iranian Premier League to attract more football fans.

Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of Network data analysis application in drawing the communication network to measure evolution in middle childhood.
Methodology: The present horoscope was a descriptive-analytical psychometric study. The socio-statistics of the present study were all students of Tehran city in elementary school (6 to 12 years old) in the academic year of 2019-2020. The sample was 585 people who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Middle childhood development questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis of the five-factor structure (flexibility, intimacy and friendship, separation times, physical health and empathy). The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Findings: In this research, 585 people were selected as a sample group in the form of multi-stage clusters. The research tool was measuring the transformation in middle childhood. The methods of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, criterion validity, convergent-divergent validity were used to check the validity of the scale, and reliability was checked with two methods of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and stability of results (retest) with a two-week interval. Exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis and varimax rotation led to the extraction of 5 factors (empathy, flexibility, intimacy and friendship, physical health and leisure time).
Conclusion: The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the results of exploratory factor analysis. The reliability analysis of the test showed that the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the subscales is higher than 0.7. Also, in all subscales, the Pearson correlation coefficient between the two implementations was higher than 0.85. The correlation between the subscales of measuring the development in the middle childhood period confirmed the convergent evidence of the questionnaire. Based on the results of the research, research evidence supports the simultaneous examination and consideration of all five subscales of the Persian version of the Middle Childhood Development Assessment.
