        With the growth of financial-behavioral hypotheses and conducting numerous studies to identify the effect of behavioral biases, one of the areas that has been considered by researchers is the field of research related to momentum strategy.The purpose of this study is investigating the disposition effect and anchoring bias separately and in combination with each other to impact momentum profits ad the role of retail investors in this relationship. The statistical population of the study includes companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange and the statistical sample includes 136 companies during the years 2007 to 2020. In this study, the effect of disposition effect has been calculated using the approach of Greenblatt and Han (2005) and Frazzini (2006) and the anchorage bias according to the method of George and Hwang (2004). The methodology of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) has also been used to calculate momentum profits.To test the research hypotheses, the five-factor model of Fama and French (2015) has been used. The results of testing the research hypotheses show that the disposition effect increases the momentum profit. Anchoring bias also leads to an increase in momentum profit. Another result of the research indicates that the interaction effect of anchoring bias and the disposition effect while these two reinforce each other, is also associated with an increase in momentum profit. Finally, when anchoring bias and disposition effect work together, the presence of a high percentage of retail investors increases momentum profits. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of individual and institutional investors in Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, we examined the portfolio statement of individual and institutional investors during a five-year period from 2012 to 2016. The result show that Investors’ behavior reflects some behavioral biases. Specifically, both individual and institutional investors tend to sell stocks that have appreciated in price, but not those that have depreciated in price (consistent with a disposition effect), although this tendency is more for individual investors. They also appear to believe that past returns are indicative of future returns (a representativeness bias), and their trading behavior shows that they are overconfidence. In the following, to investigate the effect of characteristics of investors on the cognitive errors, behavioral biases and trading error are investigated based on characteristics of investors.

        Essentialism like many philosophical subjects is rooted in the ideas ofGreek philosophers. This theory is related to the stability, motion andchange. In fact, a reasonable explanation of the motion and change wasinterest of philosophers. Aristotle's theory is in this field. This theorythat concerns to laws of nature was the most notable philosophicalachievements and metaphysical foundation for the science of that time.Aristotle was able to study species of plants and animals as a naturalkind because of variety and apparent difference between them. In hisview, any natural kind acts in goal-oriented. From this perspective,Aristotle’s essentialism has been criticism, so was not a serious activityon this topic till 20 century. Brian Ellis is formulated his scientificessentialism with offers to natural kinds and dispositional properties.He offers a variety of criteria for natural kind but he does not acceptbiological kind because it does not satisfy some of the criteria. Heclaims that his scientific essentialism is realistic. The natural kinds ofthis theory are in transition and interact to each other. What appearsdepends on a variety of roles of natural kinds that participating in theprocess. The paper presents two ideas of Aristotle and Ellis'essentialism and pays to new essentialism functionality. This studypresents why Ellis does not accept natural kind in biology even geneticstructure and unlike the traditional view, according to close relationshipbetween the definition and explanation, there is no such connection inEllis’s essentialism.

          Ib ‘Aṭa’ Allah Iskandaranī is the first Shādhlī mystic who compiled and wrote the teaching of Shādhlī order. These teachings are entirely based on the concept of Rejection of Disposition (isqaṭ tadbīr). For Ibn ‘Aṭa’ the novice, in the early stage of his spiritual journey, should reject to make any disposition because God’s will is all-inclusive, so man’s disposition is a hindrance in the path to God. There are nine stations in this path: penance, asceticism, patience, gratitude, fear, hope, cheerful submission, trust in God, compassion. In the seventh station the Rejection of Disposition is more evident than the others. Moreover there are five states: affability, compression, dilation, annihilation, abiding. For Ibn ‘Aṭa’ good deed is the fruit of good state and good state is the fruit of good station. The final phase of spiritual journey is the knowledge of God, which is the fruit of good station, good state and good deed. Manuscript profile

        he aim of the present study was to investigate the moderating effect of dispositional optimism in the relationship between cognitive exhaustion and solving cognitive problems. Three hundred university students completed the Life Orientation Test- Revised (LOT-R, Schier, Carver & Bridges, 1994). Forty students whose scores on the dispositional optimism were two standard deviations above or below the mean score were selected and randomly assigned into four groups each including ten participants. In the first phase of the experiment, experimental and control groups confronted with uncontrollable and controllable discriminative tasks, respectively. In the second phase of the experiment, all participants in the problem solving situation, replied to the anagram task. The data were analyzed using the two-way between subjects analysis of variance. The results indicated that there was a significant main effect of group and dispositional optimism but there was no significant interaction between group and dispositional optimism. Therefore, the relationship between cognitive exhaustion and solving cognitive problems was not moderated by dispositional optimism. These findings suggested the role of cognitive exhaustion variability and dispositional optimism in predicting problem solving and that the causal relation between cognitive exhaustion and problem solving is not a function of dispositional optimism variation.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of momentum on the disposition effect and expected stock returns in the framework of the prospect theory of Kahneman and Tversky (1979) and the mental accounting theory of Thaler (1985). The statistical population of this research included all companies incorporated in Tehran Stock Exchange between 2008 and 2019 from which102 companies were selected as the sample using the systematic elimination method. Multiple regressions were used to test the hypotheses of the research. The results of testing the research hypotheses indicated that momentum influenced the disposition effect. Another result showed that momentum affects the expected stock returns. Moreover, after controlling the disposition effect, the impact of momentum on the expected stock returns was reduced. In other words, the short-term, medium-term and long-term momentum coefficients are lower when the disposition effect is controlled, which means that by controlling the inclination effect of stocks, the momentum effect on the expected stock decreases Manuscript profile

        Abstract         Studying the different corners of prophet Mohammad's character, behavior and life is of great importance. The present research, by descriptive – analytic method, and with the help of documents from the text studies the creation and disposition of prophet Mohammad in the mathnavies of Persian poetry from Sanaee to Sheikh Mahmud Shabestari. The findings show that, in these mathnavies, they have talked about the prophet's disposition and international aspects more than his appearance and physical traits. In Sanaee and Nezami's poetry more attention has been paid to prophet's physical description till the end of the sixth century and there is no sign of it in the 7th and 8th centuries in the Mathnavi, Sa'di, and Sheikh Mahmud Shabestari. Sanaee and Attar had the most intention to the disposition of the messenger specifications such as shadelessness illiteracy, having priority to the other prophets' inherent traits which have been praised in the mathnavies of this era, but emphasis on his superiority on all the universe has been dealt with more than other aspects and can be found in the poetry of all other poets.
