The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among perceived parenting styles, procrastination and self-handicapping. Current study is a descriptive research ofcorrelational type. For this purpose, the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Tuckman's Procrastination Scale and the Self-Handicapping Scale (SHS) were completed by150 3rd-grade high school students in Karaj city who were selected through cluster random sampling. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and step-wise regression analysis. The results indicated that authoritarian style had significant positive correlation with procrastination and self-handicapping. Authoritative and permissive parenting styles have significant negative correlation with self-handicapping. The step-wise regression analysis also suggested that among perceived parenting styles, authoritarian style had significant and positive predictor of procrastination, and authoritative style had significant and negative predictor of self-handicapping. In general, it can be concluded that increasing warmth and involvement in parenting can decrease the harmful consequences of procrastination and self-handicapping behavior.

Introduction: The purpose of this research was designing and testing a model for the effect of two school goal structure on student’s motivational constructs considering the mediating role of perceived teacher’s support as emotionally and instrumentally. Method: The present study is correlational and structural equation modeling. The sample consisted of 210 third-year high school students in Isfahan who were selected by multistage random sampling method. The instruments which used in this study were school goal structure (school learning goal structure and school performance goal structure) , Students’ perceptions of the teachers as emotionally supportive scale, teacher’s instrument support scale, intrinsic work motivation, effort and help seeking behavior questionnaires. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-22 and AMOS-18 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the Baron & Kenny (1986) method. Results: Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. Three Indirect effects in the model were also confirmed. Better fit obtained by omitting 2 non-significant paths and using AMOS modification indices.Conclusion: The study strongly indicates that schools should strive to establish a learning goal structure.

This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of mothers’ training program based onDweck’s theory of mindset about intelligence on learning behaviors of 4-6 years old children.Research method was semi-experiment with pretest-posttest and statistical population was the mothers of 4-6 years old children in Isfahan city. Among them, 50 mothers were selected using volunteer sampling, and then randomly assigned to two groups of experiment and control (each group 25 people). Parental training program based onDweck’s theory of mindset about intelligence was presented to experimental group in eight sessions. Research instrument was preschool learning behaviors scale (McDermott et al, 2002) and data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results revealed that training of Dweck’s theory mindset about intelligence have significant effect on competence motivation and total of learning behaviors (p<0.05), but have not significant effect on attention/persistence and attitude toward learning of 4-6 years old children (p>0.05).

The purpose of this thesis was to study of the relationship between education and promotion of cultural capital in Iran. The sample consisted of 350 senior executives and experts in cultural and broadcasting organization and the Education. 31 provinces were selected through random cluster sampling. Information collected through questionnaires that were indigenous through cultural experts. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to test the convergent validity of each construct. The test of the structural model was performed using the LISREL 8.50, to perform the structural equations model approach to path analysis. (Data analysis was performed using statistical correlation and regression.) The results suggested that, between education and cultural promotion in the Iranian capital, there is a significant positive correlation and components can be properly trained to predict the promotion of cultural capital in Iran. These findings highlight and enhance the role of education as a factor of cultural capital in educational and cultural programs.

Reading is an important skill for language acquisition. Considering the great importance of reading comprehension across students’ life span, educational researchers have paid their attention to this area. The present study was aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the elementary reading attitude survey (ERAS) which was designed by McKenna & Kear. Participants were 387 junior high-school students in Shiraz. They were selected based on purposive sampling. Two-hundred and one students studying in a gifted school & one-hundred and eighty six students studying in a public school filled the ERAS. To investigate the construct validity of the questionnaire exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation was performed using SPSS (V. 16). Measures of sampling adequacy were satisfying. EFA revealed two factors, academic reading attitude & recreational reading attitude which explain 47.42 percent of variance. In addition, the obtained Chronbach’s alpha was 0.77 and it was revealed that ERAS reliable to be used in Iran. In general, the results revealed that elementary reading attitude survey is a reliable and valid measure to be used for Iranian junior high-school students and it can be use for educational and research purposes.
