ackground: The emotional intelligence is stating quality and comprehension of fillings and ability to manage (control) the temper well. Indeed, this intelligence consists of identifying one's fillings and those of others and using it to adopt suitable decisions in life (Gravers, 1999). Objective: The present research intends to compare emotional intelligence of orphanage children with ordinary children. Method: The research society was all the ordinary and orphanage girls of age ranged 12-18 years- old in Mashhad city. The number of subjects to be tested was 100 from which 50 people were ordinary children and 50 people were orphanage children. The research instrument was EQ-I questionnaire. Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between orphanage and ordinary children in the elements self-consciousness, self- flexibility, and responsibility as the elements of emotional intelligence. So that, the ordinary children own higher intelligence over orphanage children significantly and experience better sympathy relations over orphanage children. Conclusion: These findings may have some implications regarding assessing and comparing the emotional intelligence of orphanage and ordinary children which will be discussed in this paper.

The main objective of this research is to construct and validate a picture projection test which is geared to assess the degree of attachment in children aged 6 to 12 years. The random sampling procedure involved 500 primary school children year 1 to 5 who studied in Karaj city and were assessed on the attachment scale. Drawing on the obtained results from 90 ‘unsafe’ children, a population of 30 pupils, boys and girls were randomly selected and were tallied in terms of sex, age, class level, and region with the results obtained from 30 children-boys and girls-out of a population of 410 pupils. A projection test was then administered on these 60 pupils. The following steps were taken in constructing the test: (1) interviews with children and adults; (2) identification of anxiety-generating situations; (3) analyzing the animals drawn in the paintings; (4) determination of content criteria on the basis of content analysis of the stories; (5) implementation of the three principles of safety, anxiety, and avoidance in analyzing the types of attachment; (6) designation of six anxiety-generating situations each of which was illustrated in the three stages of union, separation, and child-parent reunion.
According to the obtained results, the attachment projection test has sufficient reliability and validity.

This study investigates the effects of computer's games in improving mental rotation ability. The subjects comprised 87 I/• years-old students (41 male and 45 female) who were randomly selected and assignmened in 3 groups (Puzzle games, action games and control group. The experiments were done using an experimental 3 xJ factorial design by pretest-post/es/ control group, and within 8 sections. Mental Rotation was measured by an online rest developed by Chay (2000) based on the Vandenberg and Kuse (I 978). According to the results, males on average performed helter than females in mental rotation ability o.f accuracy, bu/ no difference in speed. The results indicated that gender differences. /11 playing computer's games were decreased. Tetris groups (both male and female ) had higher improvement than another groups and also Navy Seals group (alone male) had improvement than control groups. This appears to be no improvement in reaction limes for mental rotation. Results are discussed by different theories and also within a nature-nurture interaction framework o.f gender differences in spatial abilities
