Objective: Education along with finding ideas and creativity fostering in schools, especially in conservatories is of particular importance. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of presenting a model of education along with production based on idea finding and creativity fostering in the conservatories of Golestan province.
Method: This study was conducted with a qualitative approach. The statistical population of the present study were experts familiar with the field of research, which according to the principle of theoretical saturation number of 20 people of them were selected as a sample with using the purposeful sampling method. The tool of this study was a semi-structured interview, which the validity was calculated by the content method 0.76 and the reliability was calculated by the agreement coefficient between two coders method 0.89. The data of the present study were analyzed by coding method in MAXQDA software.
Results: The findings showed that the model of education along with production based on idea finding and creativity fostering in the conservatories of Golestan province had 56 components and 11 dimensions. The dimensions of the mentioned model were included content and organization (with 5 components), curriculum goals (with 14 components), teaching and learning strategies (with 7 components), connection with the labor market (with 3 components), participation in curriculum production (with 2 components), training and consulting (with 4 components), principles of compilation (with 3 components), evaluation (with 7 components), location activation and production facilitation (with 5 components), continuous interaction with scientific centers (with 3 components) and curriculum features (with 3 components).

Objective: the aim of this study was to compilation, normalization and validation of ineffective behaviors of universities professors.Method: This study was a descriptive from type of correlation that its population was all the faculty members of five big universities in the 2019-2020 academic years. The sample of the research was 123 professors of the mentioned universities who were selected by available sampling method. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire of ineffective behaviors of universities professors with 64 items in three factors of educational, research and communication. The data were analyzed with the methods of content validity ratio, content validity index and exploratory factor analysis in SPSS and Smart-PLS software.Results: The results of content validity ratio and content validity index showed that these statistics were obtained for all three educational, research and communication factors and the components of each of them were higher than 0.80. the results of exploratory factor analysis showed that there were three factors for the ineffective behavior of universities professors; So that the first factor i.e. the educational factor had 3 components, the second factor i.e. the research factor had 4 components and the third factor i.e. the communication factor had 5 components, which the factor loading of all of them was higher than 0.60 and the Cronbach and combined reliability of all of them was higher than 0.70. In addition, the values of R2 for all factors and components were higher than 0.50 and the GOF index was equal to 0.43, which indicated the appropriate fit of the model and the model of ineffective behaviors of universities professors was drawn in the factor loading and t-test modes, which based on, the inefficient behaviors of universities professors had a significant effect on educational, research and communication factors and each factor on its components due to a 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 universities professors.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between character virtues and self-compassion among female students in universities, with a focus on the mediating Role of positive emotions.
Methodology: The research employed a correlation method, targeting female students enrolled in universities in 2022. A sample size of 596 individuals was obtained through available sampling. Data collection utilized the short version of the Values in Action Questionnaire (Linley, Joseph, and Seligman, 2004), self-compassion questionnaire (Neff, 2003), and positive psychotherapy inventory (Rashid, 2020). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.
Results: The findings revealed that character virtues had a significant direct effect on self-compassion (p>0.003, β=0.61) and an indirect effect mediated by positive emotions (p>=0.003, β=0.06, p=0.003). Moreover, positive emotions exhibited a notable direct effect on self-compassion (p>0.003; β=0.19). also, character virtues and positive emotions explained approximately 58% of the variance in self-compassion.

Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of school-related hardiness in the relationship between the Sense of school belonging with educational hope in the second-secondary level students of Mashhad City.
Methodology: The current research was applied research, and in terms of data collection, it was descriptive, correlational, and structural equations. The statistical population included all students who were studying theoretical subjects in the high school in Mashhad township in the academic year of 2021-2022. According to Klein's suggestion, the sample size was 322 people and they were selected by available sampling method. The research tools included the educational hope scale (Shegefti & Samani, 2011), the Sense of school belonging scale (Brew et al, 2004) and the school-related hardiness scale (Cole et al, 2004). The data were analyzed with the help of Pearson correlation coefficients and structural equation model in SPSS and AMOS software.
Findings: There is a significant positive relationship between all the components of the Sense of school belonging, academic hardiness and academic hope. Also, the Sense of school belonging has a positive and significant effect on academic hardiness and hope. In addition, hardiness also has a positive and significant effect on educational hope (p<0.01). Finally, the indirect effect of the Sense of school belonging on academic hope through academic hardiness was also confirmed (p<0.01).
Conclusion: The results confirmed the role of sense of belonging as a predictor of academic hope and highlight the role of academic hardiness as a mediator in this relationship. Students with high sense of belonging to school perform better in the two dimensions of academic hope in order to have social support and access to more intellectual-practical resources. Also, these people have higher academic hardiness due to the experience of positive emotions, which has an effect on the students' academic hope due to the increase in predictability, challenge and commitment. The findings show the importance of sense of belonging and academic hardiness in the formation of academic hope and suggest to create a suitable environment to increase students’ school belonging.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between identity styles and self-handicapping by canonical correlation analysis.Methodology: 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.Results: 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.
