The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cyber bullying reduction training packages (especially for students and parents) on self-esteem and life satisfaction in high school students. The method was quasi-experimental (pre-test-post-test) with control group and follow-up stage. The statistical population was all high school students (second year) cyber bullying (perpetrators) in Gachsaran city in the academic year 2009-2010. In the sampling method of the present study, first the cyber bullying questionnaire was given to high school male and female students. Then, after analyzing the results, cyber bullying students (perpetrators) were identified, 15 people were assigned as the experimental group and 15 people as the control group. Both groups completed the Cooper-Smith (1968) and Life Satisfaction (Hubner, 2001) self-esteem questionnaires as a pre-test and then as a post-test after the implementation of training packages. After the external (executive) validation, the training packages were implemented in the form of a preliminary study on a group of 4 people for cyber bullying perpetrators for 10 sessions and the parents of cyber bullying perpetrators for 4 sessions and the defects and ambiguities were reviewed and removed. Then the main performance was performed and research data were analyzed at both descriptive and inferential levels. Analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that the difference between pre-test and post-test in the scores of all research variables was significant (p <0.001). Therefore, cyber bullying reduction training packages can be used to improve research dependent variables.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of teaching questioning skills to teachers on critical thinking of male high school students. The design of the research was quasi-experimental, involving pretest-posttest and control group. The population consisted of all male high school students and teachers of Malayer, out of which 219 2nd and 3rd year students of humanities and electronics were randomly selected and analyzed in two groups (113 in control group and 106 in experimental group) and 8 classes. The experimental group consisting of 4 teachers (philosophy, logic, religious studies, and applied electronics) attended the questioning skills course, while the control group did not take part in the course. Form B of the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (Facione and Facione, 1997) was used for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and t tests. The findings and pretest scores showed that the students of both groups were equal with regards to age, course averages, IQ, critical thinking ability, and its subscales. The analysis of covariance showed that teaching questioning skills to the teachers increased the students’ critical thinking ability by 12%. Moreover, the five subscales of critical thinking ability increased as the following: analysis 9%, evaluation 12%, inference 4%, deductive reasoning 6%, and inductive reasoning 5%. The differences between the mean scores of critical thinking skills and its five subscales among students of humanities and electronics were not significant.

Background: The nature of help-seeking behavior is complex and multidimensional and has been investigated by researchers from various disciplines such as sociology, psychology. Objective: The aim of this research was to study the relationship between identity styles and social well-being with help-seeking behavior of high school students in mathematic subject. Method: The sample includes 131 high school students in Tehran city in the academic year of 1388-89. They were selected by multiple step cluster sampling method. The research instruments were Identity Styles Inventory of Berzonsky (1989), Social Well-Being Inventory of Keyes (1998), and Help-Seeking Inventory of Rayan & Pintrich (1997). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and linear multiple regression. Results: Results showed that social acceptance among five components of social well-being (solidarity, acceptance, participation, actualization, and adaptation) with all three identity styles (informational, normative, and diffuse / avoidant) could predict avoiding help-seeking in students. Thus, social acceptance, normative and informative identity styles had decreasing role, and avoidant identity style had increasing role in changes of students in mathematic. Among eight predict variables, five variables includes social participation, social actualization, avoidant, formative and informational identity styles could prediction help-seeking behavior of students in mathematic. Social solidarity, social adaptation, and social acceptance hadn’t any role in explaining of help-seeking. Conclusion: Based on these findings, we can suggest some practical implications regarding students' help-seeking behavior in mathematic

he main aim of this study was to investigate the mediation role of self-efficacy in predicting academic adjustment based on communication skills. The sample comprised 385 high school first graders students who were selected via cluster sampling procedure from two Education districts of Shiraz city. The research instruments were General self-efficacy, Communication skills, and Academic adjustment questionnaires. Data were analyzed using regression analysis.
The overall findings indicated that communication skills were positive predictors of self-efficacy which in turn is a positive predictor of academic adjustment. In addition, communication skills via self-efficacy as a moderator variable, positively predicted academic adjustment. Also it was revealed that girls scored higher in communication skills test than boys did and there was no significant difference between boys and girls in self-efficacy and academic adjustment. The practical implications of these findings are discussed and the paper is ended with some suggestions for further research in this area.
