Introduction: Establishing social relations between individuals can have an impact on a person's life. Social communication refers to any interaction and exchange established by humans, such as the exchange of thoughts, ideas, feelings, facts, and so on.The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the scale of social exchange styles and personality traits in students in Tehran. Method: The present study population is students in Tehran. In this study, 419 people were selected by available non-random sampling method and answered the social exchange styles questionnaire (Liebman, 2011) and 123 people answered the short neo-form personality traits questionnaire (Costa and McCray, 1985). Results: The reliability of the items and the internal consistency of the scale and subscales of the structure were investigated. The reliability of the social exchange styles scale was obtained from Cronbach's alpha method 0.891 and also the validity of the exchange styles scale was obtained from the construct validity method by Forner and Locker methods. Also, using the structural model, the relationships between structures were causally examined. According to the results, a significant coefficient for the pursuit factor of 9.81, fairness 15.161, individualism 6.003, utilitarianism 32.916 and extreme investment 15.467 Has been reported (p <0.0001). Also, a structural model of direct relationship between the dimensions of social exchange styles and personality traits was presented. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, the scale of social exchange styles has acceptable psychometric properties in the target community. Also, some exchange styles are related to some personality traits.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two interventions, concluding Aggression Replacement Training and Stress Inoculation Training on impulsivity in adolescents. Methods: In order to achieve the objectives of the study, quasi-experimental method with pre-test - post-test and follow-up was performed. Among the statistical population of all adolescent sons 12 to 18 years of Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Tehran city, 60 subjects were randomly selected. Sample group was assigned to two experimental and control groups, including Aggression replacement training and stress inoculation training. The experimental groups participated in their therapy sessions, while the control groups received no treatment. For collecting data Barratt impulsivity scale (BIS-11) by participants before, after and at follow-up treatment was completed. Results: Findings showed that there were significant differences between grades of adolescent’s impulsivity related to first experimental group (ART) compared with before and after the intervention. But there was no significant difference between the grades of adolescents in the SIT group and control group compared with before and after the intervention. Also, it has founded that the behavioral methodology was most effective and useful on reducing impulsivity in adolescents compared with the other 2 interventions methods. In addition there was no difference between two educational methods (ART and SIT). Conclusion: According to findings, it seems that the aggression replacement training will be suitable for prevention and treatment of adolescent's behavioral problems like impulsivity.
