Introduction: Addiction is one of the most important deviations and social harms and is considered a social disease whose physical and mental effects have negative consequences on the individual, family members, and society. This research was conducted to compare family functioning, social support, and irrational beliefs in open addicts undergoing compulsory treatment and self-reported addicts in treatment centers.
Method: The research design is a comparative causal one, with the statistical population consisting of all open addicts undergoing compulsory treatment and self-identified drug addicts from private drug addiction treatment camps in Ahvaz. A total of 170 individuals (80 open addicts and 90 self-identified drug addicts) volunteered to participate in the study. The data was collected through the family functioning questionnaire of Cong et al. (2022), social support by Zimet et al. (1988), and unreasonable beliefs of the researcher (1402). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance.
Findings: The findings showed that family functioning, social support, and irrational beliefs of self-identified addicts and open addicts are different.
Conclusion: It is suggested that to improve the quality of the functioning of the families of self-identified drug addicts and open addicts, it is necessary to prepare a familiarization course with the optimal functioning of the family; attention to social support, and reduction of irrational thinking is recommended.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationship of appreciation with academic performance and life satisfaction by mediating social support dimensions (teachers, parents and classmates) among students of Payame Noor University. Method: The statistical population of this research includes all male and female students of Payame Noor University of Ahwaz in the academic year 1396. From this community, 312 people were selected by random sampling method. To collect data, gratitude questionnaire by sevari(1396), social support of parents, teachers and classmates by sevari (1396), life satisfaction of Diner, Amoun, Larsen and Griffin (1985) and grade gained were used. Data analysis was done by path analysis. Results: The results showed that appreciation of academic performance, life satisfaction, social support of parents, teachers, classmates and social support of class members on educational performance and social support of parents and teachers on life satisfaction is significant. From the two indirect hypotheses, the hypothesis of indirect relation was appreciated with academic performance by mediating social support of parents and professors. Conclusion: It can be deduced from this study that in order to strengthen academic performance, life satisfaction, social support of parents, faculty members and classmates, the issue of appreciation of others should be taken seriously and tried to achieve it to others. On the other hand, and given that social support of class members has affected educational performance, it is very important to pay attention to social support of parents and teachers for the satisfaction of life.
