the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of teaching program based on pro-social behavior on happiness in teachers. The research design was a quasi-experimental and a pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of teachers working in the schools of Sanandaj in 2017, 32 people of whom were selected for specific purpose, and were randomly assigned to experimental and control. The experimental group was based on a curriculum Participated in pro-social behavior in 10 sessions. Both groups completed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed by SPSS-22 software with covariance (MANCOVA). The results showed that the mean happiness scores of teachers after intervention in post-test was increased in the experimental group (37.12 ± 4.85) compared to the control group (31.31 ± 3.43) and this increase was statistically significant (P

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of empathy in the relationship between parent's social health and psychological capital and prosocial behavior in adolescents. In this descriptive-correlational study, 369 adolescent high school students (within the age range of 15-18) in Tehran (180 girls and 189 boys) were randomly selected using cluster sampling method. They subsequently filled Prosocial Behavior Scale (Penner, Fritzche, Craiger & Freifeld, 1995) and Empathy Scale (Bryant, 1982). The parents (211 mother and 158 father) filled the Psychological capital Scale (Lutanz, Oliwi, Avolio & Norman, 2007) and Social health Scale (Keye, 2004) questionnaires. Finally, data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. The results showed that high level of adolescents' empathy and high levels of social health and psychological capital of parents would increase the possibility of prosocial behavior in adolescents. On the other hand, empathy mediates the relationship between social health and the psychological capital of parents and the adolescents’ prosocial behavior. Findings indicates the importance of setting educational programs for promoting empathy and paying attention to the important role of parents as influential factors on adolescents in order to increase prosocial behavior. This factor plays a decisive role in reducing future problems such as antisocial behavior and delinquency in adolescents.

The research method was a descriptive correlational study using structural equation modeling. The sample consisted of 508 senior high school students (257 girls, 251 boys) who were selected from high school in city of Shiraz during the academic year of 2016-2017 by cluster sampling method.
