Alcohol, tobacco and drugs used among adolescents are significant public health concern. This study was carried out to examine risk and protective factors associated with alcohol, tobacco and other illicit drugs used among 13-18 years-old adolescents. A national sample of 2538 high school and pre-university students (1255 girls and 1283 boys) completed Risk and Protective factors Inventory (RAPI) and drug abuse questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. A variety of risk and protective factors in several domains are associated with drug abuse. In family domain risk factors such as poor family bonding and high level of family conflicts and in individual domain high level of sensation seeking, positive attitude toward drug use, negative self-concept, lack of assertiveness and negative moods are powerful predictors of alcohol, tobacco and drug used among adolescents. In social and school domains peer pressure and poor commitment to school and negative psychosocial climate of schools were significantly correlated with drug used in adolescents. These findings suggest that effective prevention programs may need an integrative approach that focuses on the risk and protective factors associated with drug use in several domains. It highlights the importance of psychosocial education of parents, school staffs and adolescents. Lifeskills training program such as decision making, problem solving, coping and assertiveness skills may lead to increased self-esteem and self-efficacy which in turn lead to decreased using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

To collect the research data Questionnaires of educational-research environment Gravand(1391); Schumer's epistemological beliefs (1390) and research self-efficacy Salehi, (2011) were used. The results showed that the research model is compatible with the data collected from graduate students and the beliefs of epistemology are mediator the relationship between environmental experiences and research self-efficacy of students. Also, there was a direct relationship between the educational-research environment and all components of epistemological beliefs, including the belief in fast Learning. In addition, there was a direct relationship between all components of epistemological beliefs with research self-efficacy Instead of believing the certainty of knowledge, Also, there was a direct relationship between the educational-research environment and the research self-efficacy. In general, epistemological beliefs as an influential mediator can influence the research efficiency of students. Therefore, the central role of epistemological beliefs should be in the focus of interventions and planning associated with increasing the research self-efficacy of students.

This research was conducted to compare individual and conjoint Solution-Focused Therapy on marital conflicts. The research population included all couples referred to Ahvaz Counsel Centers for problem disclosure. The sample consisted of 33 couples (from 150 couples) who were randomly selected. In this study, the individual and conjoint couple therapy is considered as independent variables and marital conflicts as dependent one. The instrument was Marital Conflict Questionnaire. The design of this study was pretest-post test with control group. All subjects answered the questionnaire and then the experimental groups received intervention (during 7 sessions). At post test stage, 3 groups answered the questionnaire again. One-way ANOVA and (HSD) Tukey were used to analysis data. Probable error of α=0.05 was also used to find the significance of the differences. The results showed that individual and conjoint methods reduce the marital conflict among couples in the experimental groups. Sexual relationship was reduced more by individual and financial instruct reduced more by conjoint method. Applying of individual and conjoint methods had no significant difference on reduction of total marital conflicts and other sub-scales.

his study has been done to find out the relationship of task value, ability/expectancy beliefs, perception of task difficulty, locus of control comparison of previous and subsequent chemistry achievement and also testing the Eccles and Wigfield’s model. To achieve this purpose, 200 female students were chosen from Tehran public high schools among several processes and accidental sampling (119 students studied empirical science and the rest, 81 students, studied mathematics).
All of them filled out the Semnan's Expectancy-value (SVEQ) and Rotter's Locus of Control questionnaire. Data were analyzed with hierarchical regression. The findings showed that task the value could predict the subsequent chemistry achievement in the first model, but the task value had no role in predicting it in the second one when it juxtapose the ability/expectancy beliefs. In the 3rd model the perception of task difficulty was added to those two predicting items which was able to predict the subsequent achievement in reverse order. In the 4th model the locus of control was added to the 3rd models which manifest a meaningful effect in prognosticating the chemistry achievement. In the 2nd-4th the task value couldn’t predict the subsequent achievement. In the 5th model the ability of model prediction increased significantly in addition to previous achievement to the rest of predicting items. In general, all findings of this study fit into the expectancy-value theory frame work and on the other hand it’s compatible and confirms the previous attempting findings.

Choosing a field of study is considered as one of the most important measures of our lives, which has an undeniable impact on one's career and academic life. Selecting a field of study, in turn, depends on various factors, among which parents' role is one of the most crucial ones. Under different circumstances and due to various factors, parents can help their children to make a right choice or misguide them, which may lead to inappropriate decision making. Parents' familiarity with information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the factors included in this study, and the researcher intends to examine the impact of parents' familiarity with ICT on students' academic choices. In this survey study, the statistical population of 360 subjects was selected randomly from among the total population of 7800 students (9 to 11 grade male and female students) living in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The results showed that: given that ICT using parents have access to updated information and are more aware of the world's needs, they are more capable to help the students regarding their academic guidance compared to other parents. Typically, students guided by ICT using parents are more successful, make more successful decisions, and also enjoy better job markets compared to students guided by parents who are unfamiliar with ICT.

This study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of computer-based and computer-assisted instruction on the interaction of the elements of Teaching-Learning process in the second grade of the first secondary school science class in Asadabad. The study is part of the quasi-experimental projects that uses pre-test and post-test experimental groups 1 and 2. The statistical population of the study included all the male students in second grade of high school in the school year 2013-14 in Asadabad- Hamedan, with the volume of 852 students. Multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select the sample. The sample size was 100 students that were placed in pre-test and post- test groups 1 and 2. The first group studied the instructional CD with teacher guidance and the second group studied the instructional CD without teacher guidance. Both groups received their instruction in the network environment with the NSS software support. The research instrument included students’ interaction levels based on six interaction elements with 60 questions in Likert scale (very high, high, medium, low, very low). The multivariate analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses. The results suggest that in Teaching-Learning elements’ interaction that include six dimensions, there is no significant difference between computer-based and computer-assisted instruction in five dimensions except in content-content dimension in significance level %5. The findings show that computer-assisted instruction, the training and simulation activities with the guidance provided by the network and teacher is more effective compared to computer-based instruction.

The aim of this study is to design and develop a conceptual and operational model to generate interest in research among the students of the Police University. The developed model was, in fact, a pilot pre/post test design. The statistical population included all male undergraduates of the Police University in the academic year 2007-2008. The statistical sample was randomly selected through the process of cluster sampling. Accordingly, the disciplinary major was randomly selected from different academic majors and two groups of 30 sophomores were selected to represent the experimental and control groups, respectively.
The tool used to measure students' motivation and interest in research was a researcher-made questionnaire whose content validity was assessed by content validity and its reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
The results indicated that the experimental group enjoyed a higher level of competence and satisfaction as they paid more attention to research activities than the control group. In sum, the model decreased their negative feelings about research and improved their attitude toward such activities.

This study investigated the antecedents and outcomes of goal orientation in a causal model in which student-teacher interaction and self-efficacy were considered as endogenous variables, goal orientation as the mediating variable and academic buoyancy as the exogenous variable. Participants were 516 high school students (291 boys and 225 girls) in Kazeroun who completed Academic Buoyancy Questionnaire (Hosseinchari & Dehghani, 1391), Goal Orientation Scale (Elliot & Mcgregor, 2001), Teacher-Students Interaction Questionnaire (Wubbles, Creton, Levy & Hooymayer, 1993), and Self-efficacy Scale (Moris, 2001). Descriptive statistical methods and path analysis were used to test the model. Results revealed that emotional and social self-efficacy dimensions of self-efficacy predicted academic buoyancy both directly and indirectly, through mastery approach goal orientation. However, academic self-efficacy only predicted academic buoyancy through mastery approach goal orientation. None of the teacher-student interaction dimensions predicted academic buoyancy directly. Mastery-avoidance goal orientation mediated the relationship between control and orientation dimensions of teacher-student interaction and academic buoyancy. After all, the research findings contributed theoretical knowledge, academic buoyancy and provide some for implications promoting students’ academic buoyancy skill more implications and justificationson of the results discussed in the final chapter.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the degree of attention of the second stage elementary school's textbooks from the viewpoint of stimulating students' curiosity. The research method is descriptive in general and a quantitative content analysis in specially. The population consists of all textbooks of the grades 4,5 and 6 which includes 9 volumes of books. Data gathered using a researcher-made scale. To ensure the validity of the researcher-made scale, it was reviewed by 11 experts in the field of educational sciences and educational psychology. The validity of the checklist was calculated and confirmed using the CVI index (Waltz and Bausell). To ensure the scale reliability, the composite reliability coefficient was calculated (0.89) and showed that the tool has high reliability. The unit of analysis was theme and descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage as well as tables and graphs were used for data analysis. The findings of the research indicated that the content of the second stage elementary school's textbooks did not pay equal and balanced attention to the components of curiosity. More attention has been paid to the components of "independent activity" and "questioning" ; while the components of "surprising" and "freshness" were paid less attention. Another finding of this research showed that in sixth grade textbooks more attention is paid to students' curiosity than in fourth and fifth grades.

The aim of this research was to survey motivational profiles of students and differences between different groups' profiles on the basis of help seeking, perception of school environment and social goal achievement are studied. In this descriptive study (correlation), research population included 1295 students (653 females and 642 males) of second grade students of high school in Marivan in the academic year 2012-13. Research participants included 274 students (138 females and 136 males) who were selected among high schools using stratified random sampling method. Then four questionnaires as perception of school environment, academic help seeking, social goal achievement& academic burnout were performed by the participants. The gathered data were analyzed via SPSS software using clustered analysis ( k-means cluster method), discrimination function analysis and single sample t-test. The result showed that the first cluster has higher mean in acceptance and lower mean in performance goal orientation, so was named low motivational orientation cluster. Second cluster has higher mean in enjoyment and lower mean in performance goal orientation, so was named high motivational orientation cluster. The result of single simple t- test showed that there was no significance differences between both low and high cluster. In participants of cluster1, score of academic burnout (M=59.40, SD= 71/7) is higher than cluster 2.Therefore, the finding revealed that academic burnout was low in high motivational orientation cluster. This research has implications for educators especially teachers, who can use this results for help to reduce school burnout and improving the students’ achievement.

The main aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between self- efficacy and attributional styles among students. To achieve this goal, 363 students (205 female and 158 male) were selected using cluster random sampling. The students were studying at the humanities and technical- engineering faculties of the Islamic Azad University-East Tehran Branch in the academic year 2011-2012. The questionnaires used in the study were Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ, 1981), General Self- Efficacy Scale (Sherer et al, 1982), and Demographic Information Questionnaire. Pearson correlation showed that internal, persistent and general attributional styles were related to self-efficacy in positive events. The results of t test in independent groups indicated that self-efficacy was significantly different between the humanities students and engineering students. Indeed, the students of humanities had higher self-efficacy compared to the engineering students. Finally, the analysis of variance suggested that persistent and general attributional styles in negative events were significantly different between the humanities students and the engineering students. Generally, students try to identify themselves as agents of positive positions. Therefore, they will have internal, persistent and general attribution styles in the time of success. The internality of attributional styles in positive events can supply sufficient knowledge of different factors and help students in being more successful and reducing harmful factors. Moreover, it will help them understand that they can repeat success. Thus, their self-confidence and efficacy will increase. Finally, educational authorities and counselors are recommended to help students use appropriate attributions in the time of failure and success, and improve their self-efficacy
