The purpose of this study was to explain the academic buoyancy model based on self-handicapping through the mediating role of love of learning, self-esteem, and self-regulation skills.
The statistical population of this study included all male and female students of high schools in Poldokhtar city, which included about 3990 students. According to the Krejcie and Morgan's table, 350 people (175 girls and 175 boys) were selected as samples based on the multi-stage sampling method. The self-handicapping, academic Buoyancy, love of learning, self-esteem and Buffard et al self-regulatory skills scales were used to collect the data.
Data analysis showed that the conceptual model of the research was confirmed with proper fitness, and self-handicapping had a significant negative effect on academic Buoyancy and all of the mediating variables. More importantly, love of learning and self-esteem had positive mediating roles in the effect of self-handicapping on academic Buoyancy. Although self-handicapping had a significantly negative effect on self-regulation skills, this variable had not a mediating role on the adolescent's academic buoyancy.
It can be concluded that self-handicapping is a factor that can have damaging and destructive effects on the student’s academic buoyancy and other educational outcomes in the school setting. For this reason, it is necessary to use the positive effects of factors such as love of learning and self-esteem to overcome on negative impact of self-handicapping.

The statistical population included all students of the Islamic Azad University of Meshkinshahr during the semester ٢٠١٢-٢٠١٣.

The sample population, including ٦٠ students, was randomly divided to ٢ experimental and control groups. The research instruments were the Sarason’s Test Anxiety Scale (TAS) the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. A pre-test was given to both groups at the beginning of the semester. Then, the control group was exposed to the independent variable (electronic portfolio). At the end of the semester, a post-test was applied to both groups. The collected data was analyzed using the independence t-test. The results showed that using e-portfolio is effective on reducing the students’ test anxiety (p<٠.٠٠١) and improving their self-esteem (p<٠.٠٥).

The language of story results from human nature, and the origin of loving and hearing stories can be found in human temperament. Since children are closer to human nature, they love story and storytelling and are affected by it. Thus, storytelling can be used as an educational and remedial art and can increase children’s self- esteem. Self-esteem has an important aspect in the individual’s total function and inducement and is the most important component in human’s psychological health, influencing different personality variables and individual’s activities and is related to other fields like psychological-social health and occupational and educational function. The aim of this research is to assess the effect of using storytelling method in group form (as an education-remedial art) on increasing children’s self-esteem. The methodology used is quasi- experimental and statistical society of this research includes all female students of Mashhad elementary schools, out of which 30 students are selected by cluster random sampling. Then, they are placed in two groups of test and control. The present research tests the hypothesis based on which storytelling in group sessions increases children’s self-esteem. To carry out this research, once primary investigation is done and the research tool, i.e. Cooper Smith Questionnaire is studied, the test group participates in ten 45-minute sessions of storytelling (the program and stories are selected considering self-esteem components). Both groups are assessed in post-test after two months. There is a significant difference between the variation average of scores of Cooper Smith pre-test and post-test in the test and control group. It can be said with 99% confidence that group storytelling increases the children’s self- esteem

Method: This study is quasi-experimental design of pretest-posttest with two control groups. The statistic society includes all the basic high school male students of Fariman town in Khorasan Razavi province, in the academic of year 2011-2012. Results: Paired t-test results on the effectiveness of the pattern on the search showed that the rate of self-efficacy scores between the pretest and posttest in experimental group is significantly different from (t= -4.44, p<0/001), so knowledge of self-efficacy scores of experimental group and the other components of the test scores were higher in pre-test. Conclusion: Given the above findings, we conclude that the search pattern, self-esteem of students in their ability to solve problems in Physics teaching, was increased. Therefore, employing this model in teaching high school students is recommended

The present research was designed to examine the role of training of critical thinking in improving problem solving and self-esteem in high school girls’ students and to give suggestions to psychotherapists, counselors, schedulers and educational experts for training and enhancing students’ critical thinking. The method of research is empirical and its statistical society comprised girls who were educating at a high school in Kalaleh town in academic year of 1385-86 (N=1000). We selected 22 students who scored low grades in critical thinking, problem solving and self-esteem tests randomly and devised them into two groups (experimental and control ones). We trained the critical thinking to the experimental group in 10 sessions. Then, the both groups examined by post-test. The data of pretest and post test analyzed using t-test. The finding of the present study revealed that the individual of experimental group who participated in training of critical thinking, obtained higher scores in problem solving skills and self-esteem, and also demonstrated better adjustment to others. In general, from the finding of this study it might be concluded that critical thinking may play a fundamental role in problem solving skills and self-esteem.
