  This study aimed to investigate the effect of specific recall training on recovery of symptoms of postpartum depression of women in Tehran. The research used a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with the control group. The population consisted of 315 women seeking postpartum care in Tehran. Non-probability sampling was used to select the participants. The sample, then, included 30 women of whom 15 received 7 sessions of specific recall training and 15 were in the control group. The Edinburgh Depression Scale Questionnaire (1987) was administered. To analyze the data, analysis of covariance was applied. The results showed that treatment based on the specific recall training has significant effect on recovery of symptoms of postpartum depression (P<0.005). Manuscript profile

  بررسی های مربوط به تعامل در زبان دوم که محوریت اجتماعی دارند، در طول 15 سال گذشته تحقیقات بیشماری را به خود اختصاص داده است. اما طراحی مقیاس های سنجش عملکرد تعاملی دشوار است چرا که فرآیند پیچیده ای می­طلبد. پژوهش حاضر بر آن است تا ویژگی های روان­سنجی مقیاس اندازه گیری کپ (ونگ، 2015) برای سنجش توانش تعاملی در سطح خرد را بررسی نماید. بدین منظور 160 زبان آموز سطح متوسط ایرانی از آموزشگاه زبانی در شهر تبریز بر اساس عملکردشان در آزمون تافل اینترنتی انتخاب شدند. عملکرد تعاملی آنان در چهار وظیفه تعاملی شامل مشاهده تفاوت، تصمیم گیری، تکمیل داستان و بحث آزاد با استفاده از مقیاس سنجش مذکور در ابتدا و انتهای دوره مورد پیش آزمون و پس آزمون قرار گرفت. برای تخمین پایایی در پیش­آزمون و پس­آزمون در 13آیتم 4 عاملی این مقیاس، از شاخص همبستگی پییرسون استفاده گردید. علاوه بر آن، 5 تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی از طریق روش گردشی واریماکس به منظور روایی سنجی 4 عملکرد ارتباطی تعیین کننده توانش تعاملی به صورت انفرادی و یکجا مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. نتایج حاکی از آن بود که مقیاس سنجش کپ از شاخص پایایی قابل قبولی برخوردار است و چهار عملکرد ارتباطی: ارائه استدلال، بسط مباحثات، انجام مساعدت/حمایت و ایجاد ارتباط بین موضوعات می­توانندعامل پیش بینی کننده توانش تعاملی باشند. پیرو این نتایج برخی استنباط های آموزشی و ارزشیابی ارائه شده است.     Manuscript profile

  Objective: the general aim of this research was to make a reliable and valid test for assessing the students’ information literacy at Payame-Noor University. Methodology: the method of this research was descriptive (survey) research, and statistical population of it included all students that enrolled in all branches of Payam-Noor University of Hamedan province. The total number of those were 28530 people. For sampling ofpopulation, a cluster sampling method was used. On the basis of this method, the 387 subjects were selected. For gathering of dada a research-made questionnaire was used. This questionnaire has made based on the Likert scale (very high, high, moderate, low, and very low). The component of scale (questionnaire) included 5 standard competency of ACRL. The questionnaire included  30 items in the form of self-report statements. For becoming suitable of items, the discriminative power method was used and formal, content and constructive (convergent validity and factor analysis) methods were used for validating of it. Based on the convergent validity, the correlation coefficient between my questionnaire and Asgharnia’s Questionnaire (2009) was 0.77. Also, results of explanatory factor analysis on the items of questionnaire lead to extraction of 6 factors with a total cumulative variance explained nearly 66/5%. Also, on the basis of confirmatory factor analysis, the 5 factors with a total cumulative variance explained nearly 63%, were extracted. For making items reliable, the Cronbach’s alpha was used (α=0.94). Findings: in general, results show that the research-made scale (information literacy questionnaire) is a suitable and reliable instrument for assessing the information literacy of distance learner. Also, other result of research shows that the level of students’ information literacy skills at Payam-e-Noor University is moderate. Conclusion: one of the results of this study was that the instrument (scale) is valid & reliable, so using this scale is proposed for assessing of Students’ Information Literacy at other branches of Payam-e-Noor University. Another result of research was that level of students’ information literacy in PNU isn’t desirable and there is a gap between status quo and desirable situation; therefore some interventions (such as: formal and informal instruction) for rising of students’ information literacy is proposed.   Manuscript profile

  The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale-ParentVersion (SAAS-P) (Hahn, Hajilian, Eisen, Winder, & Pincus, 2003) among 4-6 year old children. Three hundred and two preschool children selected by available sampling from sixteen kindergartens in district 1 of Tehran, Iran. The children’s mothers completed the SAAS-P and the Preschool Anxiety Scale (PAS) (Spence, Rapee, McDonald, & Ingram, 2001). The reliability of the scale was examined usingthe internal consistency estimation. All subscales of the SAAS-P displayed moderate to high internal consistency (0.62 to 0.74). In order to investigate the validity of the scale, factor analysis and concurrent validity were used. Concurrent validity of the scale was supported by high correlation with the Preschool Anxiety Scale. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyse ssupported the four-factor model of the scale. The analyses of the psychometric properties suggested that the SAAS-P is a promising measure of separation anxiety that can be employed in clinical situations and to be used to screen children with separation anxiety.     Manuscript profile

    Abstract This study aims at measuring the construction validity of moral development scale. Theoretical foundationsare the theory of moral development. Items were prepared based on their initial assessment of moral development. The content validitywas investigated through experts' opinion. Some items over 75% were confirmed and chosen. The population consisted of high school students in Tehran. Test reliability coefficient was 0.93. Factor analysis showed that 55 percent of variance in the improvement of the scores can be explained by the scale of moral development. After that, varimax rotation of four major factors were identified and named. Confirmatory factor analysis of indicators of structural equation model testing demonstrated that a model is fit to the data. Finally, this questionnaire can be used to measure the moral development of students and can be used by various researches. Manuscript profile
