Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify individual and family factors affecting the vandalism behavior of adolescent high school students.Methodology: The research method was descriptive-correlational and the size of the population was 27,519 first and second grade high school students in District 2 of Rasht (12,977 girls and 14,542 boys) from 2017 to 2018. According to Morgan's table, 377 samples were selected by simple random sampling method and the questionnaire was researcher-made. The reliability of individual, family and vandalism questions was calculated by Cronbach's alpha test as 0.85, 0.894 and 0.873 and its validity was calculated as -0.21, 0.39, and -0.27 by HTMT method. Spearman correlation coefficient and multivariate regression with Spss software were used for analysis.Findings: The constant value of B individual questions was positive for all questions of vandalism and its statistical significance with t test and α = 0.05 showed that the value of P value is less than the value of α = 0.05. However, most of the coefficients β1 to β9 of vandalism questions are negative and indicate a reduction of destructive behaviors by reducing individual problems. Also, the constant value of B family questions was positive for vandalism questions and the statistical significance of t-test showed that the value of P value was less than α = 0.05 in all cases. But most of the coefficients β1 to β16 are effective in negative destructive behavior and indicate a decrease in vandalism in exchange for reducing the effect of family problems.Conclusion: As a result, in order to reduce vandalism, solving individual and family problems should be prioritized in order to reduce vandalism.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of group exploratory and conceptual learning in science lessons on the academic self-efficacy of male students.Methodology: The current research was applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of its implementation, it was a semi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population of this research was the fifth grade male students of Kiyar city in the academic year of 2020-21. The research sample consisted of 75 male students in three experimental groups of exploration, concept learning and control (25 people in each group) who were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling from 3 schools and 3 classes. The research tool was the self-efficacy questionnaire of Jenkins and Morgan (1999) and the intervention was the method of exploratory group training and concept learning group training for 10 sessions (each session 45 minutes) which was implemented for both experimental groups. For data analysis, inferential statistical methods (repeated measurement analysis and Benferroni post hoc test) were used with Spss24 software.Findings: The results showed that both exploratory group training and conceptual learning increased academic self-efficacy scores compared to the control group. But there was no significant difference between the average scores of exploratory group training and conceptual learning. In other words, both methods of exploratory group training and concept learning group training equally increased academic self-efficacy scores (P<0.05).Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the group teaching of exploration and conceptual learning increases the academic self-efficacy of students in the science course. Therefore, lesson planners can pay more attention to these methods and also elementary school teachers can use these educational methods in teaching science lessons to better understand students and their academic self-efficacy.

Purpose: The test anxiety has a great negative impact on other academic and non-academic variables, therefore, should look for educational and therapeutic solutions to reduce students' test anxiety. As a result, the current research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of mental-grammatical imagery education and uncertainty tolerance education on students' test anxiety.Methodology: This was a semi-experimental study with two experimental groups and one control group, with a pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up plan. In this study, the research population was all 12th grade female students of governmental and non-governmental schools in Bojnourd city in the 2022-2023 academic years. The sample of the present study was 45 students who were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly replaced in three equal groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group received 12 sessions of 90-minute with the mental-grammatical imagery education method, and the second experimental group received 9 sessions of 90-minute with the uncertainty tolerance education method based on the cognitive behavioral approach, and during this time, the control group did not receive any training. The data were collected with Sarason's test anxiety questionnaire (1985) and analyzed with the methods of analysis variance with repeated measure and Bonferroni's post hoc test in SPSS-25 software.Findings: The findings showed that there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of reducing students' test anxiety (P>0.05). In addition, both methods of mental-grammatical imagery and uncertainty tolerance education significantly reduced students' test anxiety in the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.001).Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of both methods of mental-grammatical imagery education and uncertainty tolerance education in reducing students' test anxiety, school counselors and psychologists can use mental-grammatical imagery education and uncertainty tolerance education methods to reduce test anxiety.
