  Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fluorotime play therapy on improving the behavior and adaptive behavior of children with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methods: The quasi-experimental research design was pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all children aged 9-11 years with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) under the auspices of Hazrat Ali Asghar (AS) Clinic in Rey in 2018-19 that 30 people were selected as a statistical sample and divided into two groups. (One experimental group and one control group) were randomly replaced. First, both groups were measured with Barclay Executive Activity Failure Scale (BDEFS-CA), adaptive behavior with the adaptive behavior scale of Limbert et al. (1974). They received 8 sessions of 60-minute fluorotime play therapy. At the end of the course, both groups were tested with the mentioned questionnaires. Findings: The results of analysis of covariance showed that fluorotime play therapy was effective in improving the behavior and adaptive behavior of children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this way, fluorotime play therapy reduces executive failure and also reduces behaviors. Unexplained in the experimental group (p <0.01). Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of fluortime play therapy on improving the behavior and adaptive behavior of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), fluorescence play therapy can be used as an effective method in attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by psychologists.

  The present study examined how positive psychological functioning moderates the effect of acculturation specific and general hassles on the psychological adaptation of 238 Iranian immigrants living in the USA, UK, and Netherlands. Instruments being used were : Hassles checklist (Lay and Nguyen, 1998), Pshchological wellbeing scale (Ryff, 1989) and Health Symptoms Scale (Safdar, et al., 2003). Positive psychological functioning was inversely related to psychophysical symptoms. Acculturation specific and general hassles were positively associated with psychophysical symptoms, and acculturation specific hassles predicted psychophysical symptoms better than did general hassles. Positive psychological functioning moderated the effect of general, but not acculturation specific, hassles on psychophysical symptoms. Manuscript profile

  he aim of the present study was to examine the validity, reliability and factor structure of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P; Teacher Form). Three hundred and ninety preschool children between ages two and five were selected using multistage random sampling from Mashhad in 2011-2012 academic year. The participants’ teachers completed the BRIEF-P. The reliability of the inventory was assessed by internal consistency and item-rest correlations. In order to investigate the validity of the inventory, factor analysis and concurrent validity were used. The Cronbach’s alpha and item-rest correlations indicated satisfactory reliability of the inventory and its subscales. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated five factor (inhibition, shift, emotional control, working memory, and planning/organization) and three factor (inhibitory self-control, flexibility and metacognition) models. Moreover, convergent validity of the BRIEF-P (teacher form) with the CBCL was satisfactory. The findings suggested that the BRIEF-P(teacher form) may be a useful tool in assessing preschoolers’executive functioning and can be used in Iranian psychological research and clinical settings.     Manuscript profile

  This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between family functioning and eating disorder. The research design was descriptive-correlational. From the female adolescents’ population of Nourabad in the academic year of 1398-1399, a total of 260 high school students were selected via multistage cluster sampling method and were tested by Family Assessment Device (Epstein, Baldwin & Bishop, 1983), Eating Attitudes Test (Garner, Olmsted, Bohr & Garfinkel, 1982) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (1961). To analyze the data structural equation modeling was conducted. The results showed that the direct effect of family functioning on self-esteem, the direct effect of self-esteem on eating disorder were significantly negative and the direct effect of family functioning on eating disorder was significantly positive. Also, results showed that the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between family functioning and eating disorder was significant. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that family functioning and self-esteem are two important factors affecting adolescents’ eating disorder. Manuscript profile

  the purpose of this research was to examine the role of identity in the relationship between family functioning and problem behavior in a sample of 300 (150 females, 150 males) second year middle school students. Family functioning was operationalized in terms of parent-adolescent communication, parental involvement and positive parenting. Problem behavior was operationalized in terms of aggressive behavior, rule breaking behavior, and attention problems. Structural equation models indicated that 22% of the total (direct and indirect) relationships between family functioning and problem behavior operated through identity variables, and identity confusion partially mediated the relationship between family functioning and early adolescent problem behavior. The present findings suggested that both family functioning and identity may play important roles in directing young adolescents toward or away from problem behavior. Implications for intervention were discussed. Manuscript profile

  This study aimed to examine family functioning patterns as mediators between perceived childhood attachment to each parent (secure and insecure) and religious coping. Seven hundred and seventy students of Tehran universities were selected using multi-stage sampling. The participants completed the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (Olson, Gorall, & Tiesel, 2004), the Religious Coping Scale (Pargament, Koeing, & Perez, 2000), and the Childhood Attachment to each Parent Scale (Hazan & Shaver, 1986). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that 1) Chaotically disengaged family fully mediated the relationship between insecure attachment to each parent and positive religious coping, 2) Adaptability cohesion family mediated the relationship between secure attachment to each parent and negative religious coping, 3) Insecure attachment to father had direct and indirect (through family adaptability and cohesion) effects on negative religious coping, and 4) Secure attachment to father had a direct effect on positive religious coping but attachment to mother didn't not have a direct effect on religious coping. These findings suggests that not only attachment history is important in understanding religious coping strategies but also family functioning plays an important role in this relationship.     Manuscript profile

  This study examined the role that perceived childhood attachment, family functioning and attributional styles have in college students' social anxiety. 700 students were selected by multistage cluster sampling from Azad and Payam-e-Noor universities of Birjand city. Participants completed Measures of Childhood Attachment to Each Parent (Hazan & Shaver, 1986), The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (Olson, Portner & Lavee, 1985), Attribution Styles Questionnaire (Peterson & Seligman, 1984) and Social Anxiety Scale (Watson & Friend, 1969). Findings demonstrated that attributional styles, insecure attachment to mother and family cohesion directly predicted social anxiety; attachment to parents by cohesion predicted success attribution and family cohesion by success attribution predicted increase and decrease in social anxiety. Based on the results it could be concluded that family cohesion and success attribution decrease social anxiety, whereas, insecurity to mother and failure attribution increase social anxiety Manuscript profile

  the aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of social skills training via cognitive-behavioral approach on adaptive functioning and emotional-behavioral disorders in students. The design of the study was experimental with pretest-posttest control group and two months follow-up. Thirty school girls of 5th and 6th grades with emotional-behavioral disorders were selected by random multilevel clustering from Langrood city in 2012-2013 academic year. The participants were randomly assigned into experimental or control groups. In order to assess the adaptive functioning and emotional-behavioral disorder in students, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) was used. The experimental group received the Walker Social Skills Curriculum (Walker, 1983) for 17 sessions during two months. Repeated measures ANCOVA was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between experimental and control group in adaptive functioning and emotional-behavioral disorders during post-test and follow-up. The findings suggest that the social skills training should be considered as a complementary part of school educational program. Manuscript profile
