Introduction: Psychological reactance theory assumes that individuals, when receiving a message that threatens their freedom; react by resisting that message. Landlords tend to set their rental price themselves. At the time of the corona, when the government set a lower rate to increase annual rents; there was a good opportunity to test this assumption. There are two patterns of psychological reactance, one involving the threat to freedom (Dillard and Shen, 2005) and the other without it (Lindsay, 20005), that the present study aims to compare them.Method: The research sample consisted of 395 landlords from Isfahan, Baharestan and Sepahan Shahr who were selected by convenience sampling method and responded to research tools including scales of attitude (Morgan and Miller, 2002), Behavioral Intention (Morgan, 2008), Freedom Threat (Dillard & Shen (2005); Lindsay (2005)), Psychological Reactance (Dillard & Shen, 2005), Reactance Restoration Scale (RRS) (Quick and Stephenson,2008), Source Appraisal (Miller et al., 2007), Anger (Dillard & Shen, 2005), and Negative Cognition (Dillard & Shen, 2005). Structural equation models (SEM) and item-response theory models (IRM) have been used to analyze the data.Results: The results showed that Dillard and Shen's (2005) model had good fitness and had better fitness than Lindsey (2005) model. Psychological reactance, in addition to affecting other variables (motivation, attitude, and source of evaluation); It reproduces anger and negative cognition, and considering these two emotional and cognitive components improves the structural features of the model. If a psychological reactance is considered without these components; the structural model has a low fit.Conclusion: Messengers are advised to formulate and present the message in a way that provokes less psychological reactance to achieve less anger and negative cognition.

The purpose of this study was to explain the effect of religiosity& parenting style on meaning in life by mediating of identity style in female adolescent through structural equations modelling. This is a correlation study using causal modeling. The statistical population of the study was 4476 students in the third year of high school. A sample of 200 people was selected through multistage cluster random sampling. . Measurement tools included a religiosity questionnaire (Glock & Stark,1966), identity style (Berzonsky, 1989), Parenting Style (Baumrind,1991), and meaning in life questionnaire (Steger et al., 2006). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling approach. . The findings indicated that the direct effect of the variables of religiosity, parenting style and identity style, on the meaning variable in life was significant. Also, the indirect effect of religiosity variable on a meaning in life is significant if the variable of identity style is mediator. Consequently, meaning in life is anticipated through religiosity, parenting style and identity style.
