        The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction mediating by self-esteem and perceived social support. The research design was a structural equation modeling relationship. This study was carried out with 153 students selected through convenience sampling method from seventh to ninth grade female students (First High School) in Arak. To measure the variables, Loneliness Questionnaire (LQ), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the research hypotheses. In order to verify the model's fit, CR, Cronbach's alpha and average variance extracted (AVE) were reported, that indicate the model's reliability. In the structural equation model, direct relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction was not confirmed; therefore self-esteem and social support play a full mediating role in relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction in the structural equation model (P<0.01) Manuscript profile

         The purpose of this study was to investigate the Antecedents and consequences of developmental assets based on structural equation modeling. For this purpose, 511 third-year students from Hamedan high schools (256 males and 255 females) were selected by multistage random cluster sampling. The participants completed the Perceived Social Support Scale) Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet & Farley, 1988), The Developmental Assets Profile (Search Institute, 2005) and Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale (1989). Data were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The hypothesized model showed good fit in research population. The results showed that the mediating role of developmental assets in the relationship of perceived social support and psychological well-being is significant and positive, and the proposed model explains 57 percent of the variance of psychological well-being among students. Based on the findings of this study, it was found that the effect of perceived social support on psychological well-being is more indirect than direct, and is through developmental assets. Consequently, with the increase of perceived social support, it is possible to improve the amount of developmental assets and psychological well-being of students. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to investigate the factor validity and reliability of the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire and its relationship with the quality of life of nurses. This questionnaire was developed by Zemit et al. (2008). For this purpose, 355 male and female nurses were randomly selected from public hospitals in Tehran. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its factor validity. Consistent with the results of Zamit et al.'s (2008) study, the present study showed that this questionnaire has acceptable internal consistency and Cronbach's alpha coefficients in its subscales are between 0.79 and 0.90. Also, the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis confirm that the structure of the questionnaire has an acceptable fit with the data and all goodness indicators of the fit confirm the model. The results also showed that the components of friends, family and society have a positive and significant relationship with quality of life and its dimensions. Physical and mental health and quality of life in general had a positive and significant relationship with all dimensions of perceived social support (P <0.05). Therefore, this questionnaire can be a good tool to assess the perceived social support of nurses and ultimately the perceived social support has an impact on the quality of life of nurses.

        Conceptually, suicide-related behavior can be explained to include a continuum of suicidal ideas or suicidal thoughts, to suicidal planning and, ultimately, Suicidal attempt and death by suicide. Suicide-related death is a mental health problem in many countries. Suicidal thoughts and behavior are caused by the interaction of various factors and in this respect; many theories have been built to better understand the development of thought and suicidal behavior. The purpose of the present study was to compare the dissociative experience, self-compassion, and perceived social support in suicidal and normal individuals. For this purpose, in a comparative study, 30 suicidal individuals were matched with 30 normal individuals without suicidal ideation in terms of age, gender, and marital status and after evaluating dissociative experience, self-compassion, and perceived social support, they were compared. Results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups of suicidal and normal individuals in terms of components of self-compassion, perceived social support and dissociative experience. Thus, it can be argued that higher dissociative experience, lower self-compassion and lower perceived social support may contribute to suicidal behavior. Manuscript profile
