Abstract Abstract
Introduction: Attention to the emotional and social abilities of adolescents, especially for people with high-risk behaviors has always been the focus of researchers. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of (observer, discoverer, and values advisor) model training on socio-emotional competence and social problem-solving of adolescents with high-risk behaviors.
Method: This was a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test with an experimental group and a control group. The statistical population includes all male secondary school students in Dezful who were studying in the academic year 2020-2021 and were selected by a multi-stage random sampling method based on the completion of the high-risk behavior questionnaire (Zadeh Mohammadi, Ahmadabadi, Heydari 2010) from which 40 people were randomly assigned in two groups. Before the intervention, as a pre-test, both groups were assessed with socio-emotional competence (Zou et al. 2012) and social problem solving (Dzurila et al. 2002) questionnaires. The experimental group was exposed to the model training for eight sessions. Then, in the post-test stage, both groups answered the research questionnaires. The data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups; the control (without intervention) and the experimental (observer, explorer, consultant model) in terms of the effect on the variables of socio-emotional competence and social problem-solving.
Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of the observer, explorer, and values advisor model on the promotion of socio-emotional competence and social problem-solving of adolescents with high-risk behavior, it is worthy that this model be considered as one of the new and practical tools by researchers and educational institutions.

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this research was the construction of the Implicit Association connectedness with nature Test and its prediction with place attachment and environmental identity in students.
Method: The research was kind of surveying and descriptive (correlation). Its statistical population was composed of all students of Tehran public universities and 207 of them were selected by volunteering method. Research tools included the Implicit Association connectedness with nature Test (researcher-built), Place Attachment Scale (Saffarinia, 2011), and Environmental Identity Scale (Clayton, 2003). For measuring the scale`s reliability was used of Cronbach`s alpha coefficient and test-retest method and for studying validity was used of concurrent validity (Pearson correlation coefficient). In addition, to study the fitness of hypothesized model of the relationship between environmental identity and connectedness with nature with mediating of place attachment components was used path analysis method.
Results: The reliability coefficients by means of the test-retest method showed that the test has satisfactory reliability. In addition, the results of the Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between place attachment and environmental identity with connectedness with nature (p<0.01) implying that relatively high concurrent validity Implicit Association connectedness with nature Test with place attachment and environmental identity scales. Results of path analysis showed that the modified model had acceptable fitness with data, and therefore environmental identity through place identity and emotional attachment influence directly and indirectly on connectedness with nature, and among components of place attachment only place identity and emotional attachment mediated relationship between environmental identity and connectedness with nature.
Conclusion: According to the research results, recommended to environment stakeholders and environmental psychologists that exhibiting educational workshops educate and develop Implicit Association connectedness with nature Test and connectedness with nature and place attachment concepts and for increasing connectedness with nature activities for reinforcing place attachment and environmental identity.

Abstract The aim of this study was Investigating the effect of risk perception, self-efficacy and social problem solving on helpful behaviors according to the mediating role of social intelligence. The design of the present study was a descriptive correlational study and the statistical population of the study included all helping people in the flood of 1398 in Khuzestan. In order to determine the sample size, Cochran's formula based on undefined population was used and 387 people were selected by cluster sampling. Based on this, the city of Khuzestan was divided into 5 geographical regions including north, south, east, west and center. Then, a flooded area was randomly selected from each area, and in each area, two flood camps were selected and referred to it, and non-damaged subjects were randomly referred to these centers for assistance,were selected. Data collection tools included the Derakhshande Nia and Nouri Aid Behavior Questionnaire (1384), Bintin Risk Perception (1993), Scherer Self-Efficacy (1982), Dezorella et al.'s (2002) Social Problem Solving, and Termiso social intelligence (2001). In order to test the research hypotheses, the statistical method of path analysis was used with the help of SPSS and AMOS software version 22. The results of indirect coefficients in path analysis showed that social intelligence cannot play a mediating role in the relationship between the three variables of risk perception, self-efficacy and social problem solving with helping behaviors (p> 0.05) and only direct coefficients Perception of risk, self-efficacy and social problem solving were confirmed by helping behaviors (P <0.05).
