Mental disorders are one of the major concerns in the world today, which causes a decrease in the productivity of the education system. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between social support and general health of female teachers working in the schools of Quds city. This research is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The sample size was 131 people and the sampling was done by random method. In order to collect information, Goldberg's standard public health questionnaires and Phillipis' social support ANOVA correlation coefficient were used. The collected data were analyzed with Pearson's statistical test. In this way, the relationship between social support and physical symptoms, anxiety, social functioning, depression and general health was investigated using Pearson's correlation coefficient test. The results showed that there is a statistically significant and inverse difference between social support and the average anxiety score d. Also, among the different subscales of public health, including physical symptoms, anxiety, social functioning, depression, there is only a statistically significant relationship between anxiety and social support, so that with the increase in the level of social support, the level of anxiety increases. It decreases among teachers. Therefore, it seems that the state of mental health of the country's teachers can be improved by using appropriate educational and intervention approaches, attracting the participation of relevant authorities and organizations.

This paper aims to investigate the extent and level of family participation in schools of Khorasan Razavi province in 2008 and the factors affecting the amount of family participation. This is a survey with the use of descriptive – explanatory method. Population of this research is the parents of students in Khorasan Razavi province's schools, and sample size is 602. The results indicate that the amount of family participation in schools is low and independent variables can explain 12.6 percent of the variance of the dependent variable. The variables of parent’s economic status, trust in children, and having proper social image of participation have direct relationship with the amount of patents’ participation and the less students like their parents participate in school activities the more parents attend in the school. There is also an indirect relation between parents’ positive experience with school and their participation in schools activities. Today, the family participation in school is not considered as an opportunity for educational advancement. Therefore, the most important strategy to increase parents’ participation in schools is to increase knowledge and skills about participation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the existing educational and research inequities against students during university study.Methodology: This study is applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of implementation method. Therefore, a qualitative phenomenological approach was used. The population of the study was students of a comprehensive public university in Tehran in the academic year 2019-2020. Twenty students were selected according to the principle of theoretical saturation by purposive and standard sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The content validity of the interview tool was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by the inter-coder reliability method with a coefficient of 78%. Also, Van Kaam’s analysis method was used for data analysis.Findings: The findings showed that educational inequities had eight main themes and 45 sub-themes and research inequities had five main themes and 21 sub-themes. The main themes of educational inequities were teachers' weakness in teaching, lack of seriousness in teaching and learning, low criticism of teachers, unruly student evaluation, undermining student motivation, humiliation of students, non-recognition of student diversity, and limited access to professors. In the field of research, the main themes of inequity were discrimination in doctoral admissibility, restrictions on cooperation with professors, weakness and discrimination in providing scientific guidance, instrumental view to the student, and problems in obtaining the resources needed for research. These inequities are factors that negatively affect the development and strengthening of students' core capabilities, namely respect and dignity; knowledge and imagination; emotional integrity; learning disposition; voice; aspiration; practical reasoning; and relationships and social networks.Conclusion: Workshops for professors on the subject of educational and research equity, increasing the diversity of professors and the educational content in accordance with the differences of students, paying attention to students' opinions on various university issues, and addressing their objections, are some of the strategies to address existing inequities.

The increasing trend of opposite-sex friendship, especially among high-school students, has raised great concerns for parents as well as Iranian officials. Notwithstanding of a dramatic growth of such a relationship in our society, its meaning is unknown for parents and officials. The present inquiry has explored the meaning of having a girlfriend from the high-school male students’ perspective utilizing hermeneutic methods such as meaning analysis and interpretation approaches. Due to the epistemological nature of the inquiry, a qualitative research design was preferred. Grounded on the theoretical framework of the study, sampling was chosen purposefully while taking advantage of data saturation technique. Data were collected via in-depth interviewing approach from among of eight participants with the experience of having friendship with the opposite sex. The collected data were coded and categorized carefully in such a way to address participants’ both general and individual meanings of opposite-sex friendship Findings show that there is a shared experience of love and compassion associated with physical changes like rapid heartbeat and body mobility or strange feelings like happy pains when boys are successful in their friendships. From the participants’ point of view, the opposite-sex friendship is a transient pleasure and a perilous experience which operates as an inhibitor in the way of individuals’ progress. Communication devices like phone and cellphone found as the commonest media for contact. Unlike families and officials’ perception of the issue as a sexual matter, the opposite-sex friendship lies in other factors such as curiosity and the prettiness of the girls naturally persuading the boys in initial stages irrespective of breeding any sexual intentions in the mind. Families and officials’ unawareness of the issue and their inappropriate care might bring about irretrievable social consequences

This research investigates adolescent’s responsibility with regards to socialization in the family among boys and girls. The study is based on Chalabi and Parsons’s theories. The model contains main variables of socialization method (tuition, imitation, and inculcation), parents’ responsibility, gender, background variables such as parents’ level of education level and occupation, warm and supportive relationship between parents and adolescents and group membership. This is a survey study. Sample size includes 375 high school students in region 15 in Tehran. Findings confirm main hypothesis and show that the variable of tuition method has the most impact on the adolescent’s responsibility. Parents as adolescent’s behavioral model have a significant effect on adolescents’ responsibility. Gender is also related to the adolescents’ responsibility amount. Although the amount of responsibility of both girls and boys is lower than average, girls have slightly higher levels of responsibility than boys. The variable of warm relationship between parents and children has direct relationship with the amount of adolescents’ responsibility it means that warmer relationship between parents and adolescent increases adolescents’ responsibility amount.
