        The purpose of this study was to predict the components of achievement goals through big five personality traits and emotional intelligence. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The population consisted all students of Isfahan University. Among all, 406 students were sampled using randomly stratified sampling. The research tools consisted of (Petrides & Furnham's 2001) Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, (Goldberg's 1999) five big personality factors Questionnaire, and (Elliot and McGregor’s 2001) achievement goals questionnaire. The data were analyzed through stepwise regression. The results of stepwise regression analysis indicated that agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness have a positive and significant relation with approach-mastery goal and they can predict it totally with 18% of the variance. In addition, emotional intelligence, agreeableness and neurosis can predict the avoidance-mastery goal with totally 8% of the variance. Among the components of personality only conscientiousness can predict the approach-performance goal with 1% of the variance. Emotional intelligence can predict the avoidance-performance goal with 5% of the variance. As a result of personality and emotional intelligence may be good predictor for student achievement goals.

        The most important goal of the accounting information system is to provide users with useful information for making decisions. Considering that the personality dimensions of managers and dimensions of the organizational atmosphere can affect the quality of financial reporting, therefore, the present study seeks to provide a model of the quality of financial reporting with an emphasis on the personality dimensions of managers and the dimensions of the organizational atmosphere and the mediating role of financial health. The statistical population of this research is the financial managers working in listed companies whose head offices are located in Tehran, who are 202 people using the purposeful sampling method and Cochran's formula. In this research, exploratory factor analysis was used using SPSS software, and hypotheses were analyzed with the help of PLS software. The results of the research show that the personality dimensions of extroversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, enthusiasm for new business and responsibility have an impact on the quality of financial reporting. It is important to mention that extraversion has a negative relationship with the quality of financial reporting. From other aspects, the relationship between the dimensions of clarity and clarity of goals, clarity and clarity of role, satisfaction and agreement on procedures and the effectiveness of communication with the quality of financial reporting is positive and meaningful. But then, satisfaction with the reward has no significant relationship with the quality of financial reporting. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research was to predict social exchange based on personality dimensions with the mediating role of narcissism in Tehran students. This research is a type of quantitative research, and in terms of its purpose, it is considered to be an applied research. The research method is descriptive-correlation type. The statistical population of this research, the statistical population in this research includes all the students of Tehran city in the academic year of 1400-1401, there were 300,000 people in Tehran city, which was sampled based on the table of Georgesi and Morgan 384 and with the available method. Among the research tools were the 5-factor questionnaires of Neo's personality traits, the social exchange style questionnaire by Liebman et al. (2011) and the narcissistic personality questionnaire by Raskin and Terry (1988). The data obtained was analyzed by SPSS version 26 and AMOS software. The results showed that narcissism has a partial mediating role in the relationship between the personality traits of "excitability, extroversion, openness and agreeableness" with all exchange styles, but the personality trait of "obligation" with the mediation of narcissism does not play a role in explaining any of the exchange styles. As a result, it can be said that narcissism and personality factors play an irreplaceable role in the social exchange of students. Also, the findings of this research show a low relationship between "excitability" and "agreeableness" with narcissism, and the relationship between narcissism and extroversion showed a high number, so it can be said that narcissism of the type of grandiose effect has a stronger relationship with personality traits, and therefore, in this case, it can be more To act as a mediator between personality traits and social exchange. On the other hand, the analysis of the coefficients of the path of narcissism with social exchange styles shows that the exchange style of "utilitarianism" with the path coefficient of -0.416 and the social exchange style of "individualism" with the path coefficient of -0.343 have a stronger correlation coefficient than the rest of the exchange styles. They have social (investment, follow-up, fairness). In summarizing the results, it can be said that narcissistic people are gradually excluded from society, and on the other hand, positive personality and behavioral characteristics strengthen students' social exchange relationships. It is suggested to hold workshops in this regard in order to reduce people's narcissism and strengthen personality traits. Manuscript profile

For this reason, in a descriptive and correlational research design 300 subjects among in Tabriz city men up to 18 years old was selected by available sampling method from and then assessed through Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI), personality inventory for DSM-5-Brief form (PID-5-BF) and the Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression (MIDSA). The results of multiple regression analyses revealed that ambivalent attachment style, antagonism and disinhibition can predict fetishism significantly and positively. Also, the results of path analysis showed that ambivalent attachment styles act as mediators of the abnormal dimensions of personality and fetishism. It seems, ambivalent attachment style originated from childhood experiences and unstable and maladaptive relationship with primary caregivers, that can affect correlation between abnormal personality dimensions that formed by many factors and fetishism which is type of paraphilia.

The results showed that Machiavellianism predicted by antagonism; psychopathy predicted by antagonism and detachment; narcissism predicted by antagonism, detachment and negative affectivity; Sadism predicted by antagonism. It is noteworthy that antagonism as one of the pathological personality dimensions predicted all four dark personality traits. It can be concluded that the dark personality traits can be rooted in maladaptive personality dimensions and aspects. Manuscript profile

They were tested regarding the early maladaptive schemas, personality traits and depression. Analysis of the regression indicated that maladaptive schemas are positively correlated with neuroticism factor and they are negatively correlated with four factors of extraversion, openness to experience, agreement and dutifulness. Selective maladaptive schemas were able to explain 27% of the depression variance. Given the current findings it can be said that neurotics is an important factor in formation of the maladaptive schemas. Manuscript profile
