The intensity of having a meaning in life and being satisfied with nuptial life is more about the people who have not called on the consultative committees.It is vise versa about the applicants who consulted the committees. About the latter ones who are not satisfied with their nuptial life the intensity of having a meaning in life is less. The other findings of the research do not show any meaningful relation among having a meaning in life. age, duration of nuptial life, sex, education, number of children, and income.

Statistical sample was contained 252 divorces, fatherless and normal adolescent. So that.each group contained 84 adolescent (42 male and 42 femaletthat were selected with simple random method. Mean while, in sampling cluster and simple random sampling methods were used in corporately . in the research, group membership and sex were independent variables, mental hygiene stale were dependent variables and demographic trails was control variables.

This comparative research studies writing skills in the grade elementary students with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Fasa. Utilizing a cluster sampling procedure, from 6 schools 60 students were recruited (30 for comparison, and 30 for exposure group}. Students with ADHD from these groups (l Sboys, 15girles) have been selected applying DSM IV-TR (2000) and Conner's scale. The instrument used for writing skills was Writing Skills Improvement Test for Ggrade Elementary. The findings showed that normal e, students have a belier ability in writing (dictation & §' compositioni.Also, the findings displayed that ADHD-1 subgroup had the weakest ability in these skills. No gender difference was observed in the both groups. Furthermore, a high correlation was found between DSM IV-TR (2000) and Conner's scale, but there is not meaning relationship between writing skills and variations of disorder. This study concludes that students with ADHD have significant difficulties in some aspects of writing

Nowadays, there are two dominant paradigms in the measurement domain: the Classic Theory of Measurement introduced by Spearman and item-Response Theory whose genesis can be traced to the latent Trait Theory. In fact, once used for the measuring variables with two levels, the latent theory was dubbed Item-Response Theory. This theory has clear and rational foundation though its intricate mathematical underpinning - compared to the classical theory - has caused researchers to have little inclination to use it. Within the framework of this theory, there are two different approaches to measurement. The first approach which adheres to the Rosh models aims at measuring the magnitude of the target trait in people. However, the second approach, which has developed with the primary purpose of analyzing questions and evaluating their parameters. draws on the parametric models of 2 and 3 for achieving the same objective. Despite all the differences between these two approaches, researchers are mostly unaware of them with ve,y few sources pinpointing the discrepancies. Therefore, the current study deals with the theoretical foundations of the item-response theory, its assumptions, as well as its models and their differences.
