Purpose: The purpose of this study is to obtain some information about PhD students’ perception and attitude toward the different characteristics of the feedbacks getting from the academic writing and its correlation with the different characteristics of the people who give feedback and the way their revise their decisions affected by these elements and other relative elements. Method: The data was collected from 165 Ph.D Psychology and education science students based on correlation design and performing questionnaire. The data was analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics to describe the answers of the participants. Then, the data was analyzed with the aid of the structural equation modeling for research hypothesis testing and obtaining correlation between academic writing motivation, major and program attitude, feedback request, critical feedback viewpoint, proficiency and knowledge of the person who gives feedback, personality and help of the person who gives feedback, revising the decision-externals and revising the decision-rationalizations. Findings: Structural equation modeling analysis indicates the correlation between the variables involving the process of presenting feedback to PhD students. Finally, some suggestions were proposed for the improvement of feedback process in PhD course.

The present research was carried out with the aim to investigate the relationship between multiple intelligences (Gardner's theory) and fields of study (mathematics-physics, experimental sciences. & humanities) and to investigate the effect of correspondence between fields of study and multiple intelligences on a11i111de towards those fields. For this mailer, McKenzie's questionnaire for multiple intelligences and questionnaire for attitude towards field of study adapted to Iranian high school students were administered on a sample of senior high school students (427 boys and girls) of mathematics physics, experimental sciences, and humanities. This sample was i selected randomly from 3547 students of District 3 city of Tehran. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Scheffe. Also, Pearson correlation coejjicient was used. The results showed significant relationship between logical-mathematical intelligence and field of mathematic-physics. There was significant relationship between naturalistic intelligence and field of experimental sciences. But there was not found any significant relationship between linguistic intelligence and field of humanities. In addition, the results showed the students of mathematics-physics who had the same intelligence and field of study had positive attitude towards their .field. This result was also found for the experimental sciences students. 8111 this relationship was notfoundfor the humanities students.
