The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the difference in the effectiveness of perceptual-motor training and working memory on listening processing and reading comprehension in children with learning disabilities. The statistical population of this research included all fifth and sixth grade children with learning disabilities who referred to counseling centers in 1401. 30 children with learning disabilities who met the criteria for entering the research were selected by available sampling method and were equally and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group underwent active memory training including 16 training sessions and the second experimental group underwent perceptual-motor training in 16 sessions and the control group remained waiting without any intervention during this period. The research tools include Fisher's list of hearing problems and Cloze's test. The data analysis of this research was done in two descriptive and inferential parts (covariance analysis) using SPSS-23 software. The results showed that both perceptual-motor training and active memory interventions are effective on auditory processing and reading comprehension in children with learning disabilities, and there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of these two treatments in the components of discrimination and auditory acuity. Based on this, it can be said that the rate of increase in the perceptual-motor training group in the components of discrimination and listening acuity was higher than that of the working memory training group. Also, the results indicated that there is no significant difference between the components of auditory processing and reading comprehension in the post-test stage compared to the follow-up stage, which means that the effectiveness of these two treatments in the follow-up stage has been permanent.

Methodology: The purpose of this research was applied, and in terms of the method of implementation, it was a semi-experimental pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population of this research was all primary school boys in Kerman in the academic year 2022, who were selected as available. The selected sample was randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control group (15 people). The research tools included teaching the basics of classroom selection theory (2015), Viga School Enthusiasm Questionnaire (2016) and Kubasa's stubbornness questionnaire (1979). The intervention sessions of training the basics of selection theory (during 2 and a half months and 10 sessions) were implemented for the experimental group, and no training was provided to the control group during this period. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis with SPSS-24 software were used for data analysis.
Results: The results showed that after teaching the basics of selection theory, the enthusiasm for school and the psychological toughness of the experimental group increased significantly compared to the control group (p < 01). The results of the covariance analysis also showed that teaching the basics of choice theory had an effect of 0.47 on enthusiasm for school and 0.53 on psychological toughness.
Discussion and conclusion: Considering the effect of the choice theory on enthusiasm for school and psychological toughness, educational planners should include skill courses in the curriculum of the elementary school in order to improve life skills in addition to course topics.
Keywords: choice theory, enthusiasm for school, psychological toughness, elementary school students.

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.

The purpose of the current research was to present and validate the model of prevention of Islamic Azad University employees' procrastination, which was carried out using the qualitative method of phenomenology. In order to identify the employees of Islamic Azad University who are procrastinating, first all the employees of Islamic Azad University in the year (98-99) were considered, then Using the multi-stage cluster random sampling method, 384 people were selected for preliminary investigation, and by implementing Takman's procrastination questionnaire (1991) on these people, 25 people were finally identified as eligible for this research. The research tool was a semi-structured interview, and the data reached theoretical saturation up to the number of 15 people. Data analysis was done based on the 7-step method of Claisey. To measure the validity of the data, two methods of review of participants and review of non-participating experts were used in the research. The revealed findings were 179 extracted key phrases (primary concepts), 292 secondary concepts (first category), 32 secondary concepts (second category) and 3 main concepts (dimensions). In order to confirm the reliability of the qualitative findings, a scale with a 3-option spectrum was used to measure the content validity ratio (Lavache coefficient estimation) and in order to ensure the reliability of the qualitative findings, the Holstein reliability coefficient was estimated at 0.97. The findings showed that the employee procrastination prevention model consists of 3 main dimensions including organizational dimension (with 14 components), individual dimension (with 15 components) and social dimension (with 3 components).

Objective: Aggression in male adolescent is a common phenomenon and addiction to electronic games can increase their aggression. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determine the effectiveness of short-term cognitive behavioral therapy on aggression in male adolescent with PUBG game addiction.
Method: This research in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The research population was male adolescent referred to the computer game clubs of Sari city in 2021 year, who among them number of 30 people after checking the inclusion criteria were selected as a sample with the purposive sampling method and by simple random method with the help of lottery were assigned into two equal groups (each group 15 people). The experimental group received eight sessions of 90 minute for two months (one session per week) the short-term cognitive behavioral therapy based on Stark and Kendall's model (1996), and during this period the control group did not receive any training. The research tools were included the D'Souza et al's PUBG addiction test (2019) and the Buss and Perry's aggression questionnaire (1992), which their psychometric indicators were appropriate and desirable. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance method in SPSS version 26 software.
Results: The findings of the present research showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of aggression in male adolescent with PUBG game addiction. In the other words, short-term cognitive behavioral therapy reduced aggression in male adolescent with PUBG game addiction (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present research, i.e., the effectiveness of short-term cognitive behavioral therapy on reducing aggression in male adolescent with PUBG game addiction, to reduce emotional problems of adolescents such as aggression can be used short-term cognitive behavioral therapy along with other treatment methods.

Objective: There are many intervention methods to improve children's psychological characteristics, which in this study attempt to compare the two methods of play therapy and problem solving training. As a result, the aim of this study was to comparing the effectiveness of play therapy and problem solving training on responsibility, distress tolerance and adjustment of 5-7 year old children.
Method: This study was a semi-experimental with a pretest, posttest and two month follow-up design with experimental and control groups. The research population was 5-7 year old children who referred to counseling and psychological services centers and clinics of Tehran city in 2021 year. Among the members of the population, 45 people were selected by available sampling method and replaced by simple random with the help of lottery in three equal groups including play therapy, problem solving training and control groups. The first experimental group trained 10 sessions with the play therapy method and the second experimental group trained 10 sessions with the problem solving training method and the control group during this period did not receive any training. The data were collected with the California responsibility inventory (Gough, 1951), distress tolerance scale (Simons and Gaher, 2005) and adjustment scale (Matson et al, 1983) and were analyzed with the methods of analysis variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS software.
Results: The findings showed that both methods of play therapy and problem solving training in compared to the control group improved responsibility, distress tolerance and adjustment of 5-7 year old children and the results remained in the follow-up phase (P<0.001). Also, there was no significant difference between the two methods of play therapy and problem solving training in improving responsibility, distress tolerance and adjustment of 5-7 year old children in the posttest and follow-up phases
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated the effectiveness of both methods of play therapy and problem solving training on improving responsibility, distress tolerance and adjustment of 5-7 year old children. therapists,

The purpose of this research is to identify and validate the explanatory components of support in Iran's secondary education system. The research method is qualitative-quantitative. - Periodicals and written documents related to the subject included articles and scientific researches and related books authored and in the quantitative part by first and second year high school teachers of the whole country. In the qualitative part, using the snowball sampling method until reaching theoretical saturation, an in-depth interview was conducted with 13 experts, and 18 documents (texts) were examined with a targeted method for documents, and in the quantitative part, to evaluate the model, A researcher-made questionnaire with 134 Likert scale items was distributed among 384 people with a multi-stage relative cluster sampling method. In order to determine the validity and reliability in the qualitative phase of the necessary checks including acceptability (expert review) and verifiability (re-review by experts) and in the quantitative phase, the validity of the questionnaires was verified by three methods: formal, content and structural. The method of determining factor loadings of items, Cronbach's alpha of components (between 0.749 and 0.864) and composite reliability (between 0.827 and 0.916) were confirmed. Qualitative data were analyzed through theoretical background and quantitative data with structural equation modeling technique and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests in Smart PLS software and Friedman test in SPSS software. The results of the qualitative part indicated that the model of support building in Iran's secondary education system includes 10 categories (development of human and non-human resources, improvement and development of the educational system, teaching-learning methods, culture and communication, laws and supportive behaviors performance monitoring, strategies based on cognition and metacognition, strategies based on motivation, mental progress and scientific progress), 21 subcategories (development of human resources, empowerment of students, development of hardware and software facilities, collaborative and interactive teaching, simplification Homework, virtual learning, teaching based on scientific theories, culture building between parents and teachers, effective communication, supportive behaviors, internal and external organizational strategies and instructions, mental and academic involvement, continuous assessment, metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, cognitive strategies and metacognitive, motivational strategies, psychological well-being, actualization of potential talents
