Introduction: Classical dimensions of citizenship (political, civil, and social), in the modern theoretical framework, in addition to the necessary dimensions aimed at the whole environment and human society, have shown a unique evolution in the field of citizenship and its education. Based on this and considering that people of our country do not know much about their citizenship rights and responsibilities and the observance of citizenship ethics is not at a good level, citizenship education and understanding its dimensions is a new necessity. The purpose was to compile a comprehensive package of citizenship education based on these new dimensions.Method: The research method was comparative theme analysis based on literature, research context of scientific texts in modern citizenship and its education, and sample included 56 scientific sources. Data were analyzed through thematic network analysis.Results: Findings showed that the components and structure of the comprehensive package of citizenship education include educational techniques focused on political, civil, social, sustainable development, environmental, digital, and media citizenship education. A comprehensive package of citizenship education was designed in twelve 90-minute sessions. The coefficient of expert agreement was 0.93, which shows the adequacy of this package. In this way, a comprehensive package in the field of citizenship was added to Iran's practical and educational knowledge.Conclusion: The application of a comprehensive package of citizenship education in universities, as well as educational, and cultural centers, will help the development of citizenship attitudes and behaviors of people in the society and will reduce inappropriate behaviors and some of the current problems of the society.

AbstractIntroduction: With the increasing importance of environmental problems, environmental psychology also seeks to create a sustainable relationship between humans and nature. In this regard, the present research investigated the role of personality traits in pro-environmental behaviors to better understand this relationship. It has also investigated the mediating role of place attachment in the relationship between personality and pro-environmental behaviors.Method: The method of this study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of this study was the students of Tarbiat Modares University in the academic year 2020-2021, 250 people were selected by available sampling method. To measure the research variables, the personality traits scale of McCree and Costa (1992), the place attachment scale of Safarinia (2013), and the questionnaire compiled by Ferdowsi, Mortazavi, and Rezvani (2007) from the environmental protection behavior questionnaires of Kaiser, Wolfing and Fehrer (1999) and Tarrant and Cordell (1997) were used. To analyze the data, the path analysis method was used in the structural equation model.Findings: Fit indices and path coefficients (p<0.05) showed that the personality factors of extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness play a role in environmental behavior due to the mediating role of the place dependence factor.Conclusion: If a person is extroverted, agreeable, conscientious, and has attachment to their place of living, they are more likely to exhibit pro-environmental behaviors. As a result, by knowing the relationship of individuals with different personality traits and affective relationships with home, their positive environmental behaviors can be strengthened.

Abstract
Introduction: This research was conducted to develop a causal model of the tendency to cheat in the exam based on irrational beliefs and self-control with the mediation of anxiety.
Method: This research was a descriptive-correlational study using the structural equation method. The statistical population included all the students of Kosar University in Bojnord in the academic year 2022-2023, from which 240 students were selected by random cluster sampling. The research tools were Stephens and Golbaj's (2007) academic cheating questionnaires, Jones' irrational beliefs (1968), Tanji et al.'s self-control (2004),, and Beck's anxiety (1988).
Findings: The results showed a significant correlation between all variables (P<0.05). Also, helplessness against change (0.0316), expectation of approval from others (0.0444), and self-control (0.0327) explained the variance of the tendency to cheat in the exam indirectly and with the mediation of anxiety.
Conclusion: The results show that irrational beliefs and self-control affect the tendency to cheat with the mediation of anxiety. According to the obtained indices and coefficients, it can be concluded that the proposed model for developing the causal model of academic cheating tendency is suitable and the data has a good fit with the research model.

Introduction: Today, virtual space as a new phenomenon has a wide impact on the dimensions of people's lives in the family and has caused many changes among them. Since the family is the fundamental foundation of society and the main focus of maintaining social norms and values, therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of the amount and type of virtual space use on the family's identity and values.Method: To this end, 46 related types of research between 2011 and 2021 (19 research on the type of use, 27 types of research on the amount of use) that met the necessary criteria to enter the meta-analysis were selected, and they were analyzed using the comparative (correlation) method of meta-analysis software.Findings: The research findings showed that the type of use of virtual space, in general, does not have a significant effect on the values and identity of the family, while the amount of use of virtual space according to the interpretive table of Cohen's size can moderately (0/313) affect the identity and Family values are practical and reduce it. (P <0/05).Conclusion: Based on this, it can be said that more than the type of use of virtual space affects the values and identity of the family, the amount of its use leads to the decline of the identity and values of the family to a moderate extent.

AbstractIntroduction: This research was conducted to predict marital satisfaction based on extraversion, marital empathy, and marital forgiveness in married women.Method: A descriptive-correlation method of regression type was utilized in the current research. Using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method, a total of 840 married women residing in Lorestan province were selected. Data were collected using the Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale, the NEO-FFI Questionnaire, the Marital Empathy Scale, and the Marital Forgiveness Scale as standard questionnaires. The collected data were checked and analyzed by SPSS software.Results: The coefficient of determination obtained from the multiple linear regression test was equal to 0.378, which shows that the model explains 37.8% of the changes in marital satisfaction. According to standard coefficients, extraversion, empathy, and forgiveness were significant predictors of marital satisfaction. From the findings, it can be concluded that extraversion, empathy, and forgiveness have a positive and favorable effect on marital satisfaction, such that one unit increase in extraversion, empathy, and forgiveness leads to an increase of 0.121, 0.255, and 0.421 units in marital satisfaction, respectively. The most important variable affecting marital satisfaction was forgiveness, followed by empathy, and extraversion.Conclusion: To strengthen the satisfaction of couples, especially women, it is suggested to organize educational programs that prioritize increasing knowledge of extraversion personality trait and strengthening positive traits such as empathy and forgiveness.

AbstractIntroduction: 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.

Introduction: Identifying the factors implicated in adolescent bullying perpetration, particularly moral mechanisms, is important for driving research, policy, and practice to prevent and reduce adolescent bullying behavior. Therefore, based on the social-cognitive model of moral identity and the social-cognitive theory of moral agency, the present study examined the relationship between moral identity and bullying of Iranian adolescents with the mediating role of moral disengagement.
Methods: The participants consisted of 392 adolescent (217 male and 175 female) high school students in Kuhdasht, aged 15-18 years (M = 16.44 and SD = 0.72). They were selected using a multistage random sampling method and completed the Parada Adolescent Peer Relations Instrument (2000), Aquino and Reed's Moral Identity Scale (2002), and Bandura’s Mechanisms of Moral Disengagement Scale (1996). Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.
Findings: The findings showed that moral identity negatively and significantly predicted bullying (β = -0/37) and moral disengagement (β = -0/27). Also, moral disengagement played a positive and significant role in predicting bullying (β = 0/23). In addition, the results of structural equation modeling indicated that moral disengagement significantly mediated the relationship between moral identity and bullying (β = -0/051).
Conclusion: In sum, these findings highlight the role of moral identity and moral disengagement in adolescent bullying behavior. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

Introduction: Having a healthy society depends on the prosocial behavior of its people, so it is important to understand the factors that affect these behaviors. The aim of this study was to investigate the variance-based model of the mediating role of aggression in the relationship between narcissism and prosociality in university students.Method: The research design is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included 7589 students of Islamic Azad University in 2023, and 341 people participated in the research using combined sampling method (The first stage is cluster random and the second stage is available). The questionnaires of narcissism (Raskin and Terry, 1988), aggression (Zahedifar, 2000), and prosocial personality battery (penner, 2002) were used to collect data. Data analysis in the framework of structural equation modeling using Smart P. L. S 3.2.8 software was done.Results: The results showed that the general research model fits well with the data. The findings showed that the direct effect of narcissism on aggression and the direct effect of aggression on the prosocial personality (P<0.01) and the indirect effect of narcissism on prosociality is significant (P <0.05).Conclusion: The results have implications for the conceptualization of narcissism, the importance of the mediating role of aggression, and improving the understanding of prosocial personality. Therefore, considering the confirmation of the mediating role of aggression in the relationship between narcissism and prosocial, programs for training and reducing their aggression can be considered to reduce narcissism and increase prosocial in students.

Introduction: The purpose of this research is to determine the best model for predicting the balance between work and life of employees based on perceived social support and occupational preference with the mediating role of spiritual intelligence.
Method: The research method is a correlation theory of the prediction type and the statistical population of employees in the central headquarters (in Tehran) and the strategic purchasing department of treatment management (all over the country) of the social security organization in the year 1400. Data collection is by stratified random sampling, which was determined based on Klein's formula, with a minimum number of 200 samples. The electronic questionnaire was designed using press line and visited by more than 600 people, and 213 people completed the questionnaire, which includes the spiritual intelligence questionnaires of Abdullah Zadeh et al. (2017), perceived social support by Zimet et al. (2009) and Amabile et al.'s (1994) occupational preference.
Findings: T values show the validity of the relationship between the constructs and the confirmation of the relationships between the research variables at the 95% confidence level. The value of Q2 for all variables is higher than 0.25; Therefore, the structural model has a high predictive power. The value of GOF is equal to 0.2775; Therefore, the overall fit level of the model is good.
Conclusion: Social support variable and occupational preference have a significant impact on the work-life balance of employees. Perceived social support has a higher impact. The variable of spiritual intelligence does not have a significant effect on the work-life balance of employees.

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: Learned helplessness or control of people is determined through initial interactions with social environments, and this process of helplessness is a way in which factors related to cognition, including beliefs, as well as emotional factors play a role in the amount of helplessness responses to social stimuli. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of intelligence beliefs in the relationship between social-emotional competencies and learned helplessness in primary school students of Sari in the academic year 2023.
Method: This research was practical in terms of purpose and the method of data collection is descriptive based on path analysis modeling. The statistical population includes all sixth-grade students of primary schools in Sari in the academic year of 2023. Based on non-random sampling and available methods, 218 people who met the criteria for entering the study were selected. The research tools included Quinles and Nelson's learned helplessness questionnaire (1988), Babaei's intelligence beliefs (1999), and Zhu and Ji's social-emotional competence questionnaire (2012). The data were analyzed by statistical software SPSS 18, Amos 23, path analysis, and bootstrap method with a significance level of 0.05.
Findings: In addition to confirming the model under study, the results indicated that there is a significant relationship between social-emotional competencies and intelligence beliefs with learned helplessness. Also, the mediating role of intelligence beliefs in the relationship between social-emotional competencies and learned helplessness in elementary school students was confirmed (P≤0.01).
Conclusion: The current research provides practical implications regarding making changes in the learned helplessness variable based on social-emotional competencies and intelligence beliefs in students.

Introduction: As the youth period extends, numerous students are involved with various issues in the identity process which affects diverse aspects of their life satisfaction. This research was conducted to analyze the latent profile of undergraduate students' identity dimensions and their relationship with their life satisfaction.
Method: The method of this study was a descriptive-correlation type of latent profiles analysis using MPLUS software. MPLUS is a latent variable modeling program that reduces continuous or categorical variables to limited subgroups. Likewise, the one-way ANOVA method was used to compare students' life satisfaction among latent clusters. The statistical population of the research was all undergraduate students of Tabriz University and 375 of these students were selected as a sample using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data were collected using Scales of Saffarinia and Roshan's Social Identity (2010), Bell's Religious Identity (2009), Aquino and Reed's Moral Identity (2002), and Satisfaction with Life of Diener et al. (1985).
Results: The results of the latent profiles analysis led to the identification of six identity profiles, and the results of the variance analysis revealed that the life satisfaction of students according to the identity dimensions is different (P<0.01), in such a way that the achieved identity cluster had the highest and the diffusion identity cluster, had the lowest level of life satisfaction.
Conclusion: Using the person-centered approach, the results of the research offer a new perspective for understanding the identity dimensions of students, which can predict life satisfaction and provide interventions according to each identity dimension.

Introduction: Cyber aggression is a new form of interpersonal violence among adolescents that can cause a lot of damage to their mental health, so it is necessary to address its underlying factors. Therefore, the present study was conducted to predict cyber aggression based on empathy, moral indifference, and rumination of anger in adolescents.
Method: The research method was a correlational description. The statistical population of this research was all the students studying in the second-period boys' high schools in Tabriz in the academic year 2022-2023, and 395 people were selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method based on Morgan's sampling table. Anger rumination questionnaires (ARS), basic empathy scale, cyber aggression questionnaire for adolescents (CYBA), and moral indifference questionnaire were used in this research. The data were analyzed using the simultaneous regression analysis test.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between cyber aggression and emotional empathy (P<0.05) and a positive relationship between moral indifference and anger rumination with cyber aggression (P<0.01); Also, the results showed that 0.27 changes in cyber aggression are explained by emotional empathy, moral indifference, and anger rumination subcomponents. Also, cognitive empathy, memories of anger, and understanding the causes do not have a significant contribution to predicting cyber aggression (P<0.0001).
Conclusion: The present study showed that to control behaviors such as cyber aggression, more attention should be paid to emotional and moral components such as empathy, moral indifference, and anger rumination.

Introduction: Place attachment is the emotional bond that a person forms with a place. This concept influences people's life experiences in three domains: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of the length of residence on the relationship between place attachment and mental health and social well-being in women living in Tehran.Method: This was a descriptive-correlation study and the sample consisted of 241 women living in Tehran. They were selected by the convenience sampling method. The instruments used in this study were Safarinia's place attachment scale (2011), Besharat's mental health scale (2009), and Keys' social well-being scale (1998). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SPSS v.20 and Smart PLS v.3 software.Results: The results indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship between place attachment and mental health, as well as between place attachment and social well-being. Although there was a positive and significant relationship between the length of residence and place attachment, the length of residence did not moderate the relationship between place attachment and mental health and social well-being.Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that place attachment has a significant role in enhancing women's mental health and social well-being.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of behavioral activation and mode deactivation therapies on antisocial core beliefs and solving the social problem of 15-18-year-old boys with high social anxiety.Method: The current research was a semi-experimental type of pre-test, post-test, and a two-month follow-up period with a control group. The statistical population included all students aged 15 to 18 with social anxiety in the 2nd education district of Isfahan in the academic years 2021 and 2022. For this purpose, using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method, 600 students were screened from among boys' high schools in the 2nd education district of Isfahan by implementing Paklak's social anxiety scale adolescent (2004). They were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (20 people each) and a control group (20 people). The people in the experimental groups participated in parallel and simultaneous treatment sessions of behavioral activation and mode deactivation; But for the control group, there was no intervention. The measurement tools included short form-compound core beliefs questionnaire by Apsche & De-Meo (2012) and a social problem-solving inventory by Drzila et al. (2002). To analyze the data, the statistical method of analysis of variance of repeated measurements and Bonferroni's posthoc test was used in SPSS-24 software.Findings: The results showed that behavioral activation therapy on social problem solving and mode deactivation therapy on antisocial core beliefs had stronger effectiveness than other treatment methods for 15-18-year-old boys with social anxiety and the effects of the interventions were stable over time (p<0.01).Conclusion: The findings of this research emphasize the importance of paying attention to antisocial core beliefs and social solving problems in adolescents with high social anxiety and have important practical implications for therapeutic interventions for adolescents with social anxiety.

Introduction: The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between facing patients’ death, the probability of infection to COVID-19, job satisfaction, and non-deterministic moral decision-making with mediating role of anxiety.
Method: This research was a correlational and path analysis study, and participants were selected based on convenience sampling during the first peak of COVID-19 in May 2020. In this study, 190 healthcare workers in hospitals allocated to COVID-19 patients responded to questionnaires of non-deterministic moral decision-making scenarios (Christensen, Flexas, Calabrese, Gut, & Gomila, 2014), probability of infection to COVID-19 (Hyland et al., 2020), facing patients’ death (Mosheva, 2020), job-satisfaction (Afulani et al., 2021), and COVID-19 related anxiety (Benham et al., 2021). Data were analyzed using correlation and path analysis with SPSS and AMOS.
Results: Findings showed that utilitarian behavior is positively correlated with anxiety (p < 0.001), facing patients’ death (p < 0.001), and the probability of infection (p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with job satisfaction (p < 0.01). Moreover, another finding was that anxiety mediated the relationship between the probability of infection and utilitarian behavior (p < 0.01) but not the other ones.
Conclusion: These findings imply that the situation caused by COVID-19 has cognitive and psychological impacts on healthcare workers, and as a result, changes their moral decisions and their attitude regarding resource allocation.

Moreover, there was a significant positive relationship between covert negative attitudes and positive attitudes toward sexual harassment with sexual harassment. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between intention to sexual harassment and sexual harassment (p≤0.05). Moreover, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the direct effect of positive attitude towards sexual harassment on intention to sexual harassment and intention to sexual harassment on sexual harassment was significant and results of indirect effects showed that only the indirect effect of positive attitude towards sexual harassment on sexual harassment is significant with mediating role of intention to sexual harassment (p≤0.05).Conclusion: It can be concluded that by increasing the positive attitude towards sexual harassment, the intention to sexual harassment increases and leads to sexual harassment. Therefore, to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, there is a need to change attitudes toward sexual harassment as well as organizational intervention to combat the conversion of intent to behavior.

Abstract Introduction: The characteristics and traits of parents play an important role in the emotional socialization of their children, so the purpose of this research was to investigate the role of parents' character strengths in explaining the emotional socialization styles concerning the mediator role of emotion regulation.Methods: The research method is a descriptive correlation. The statistical population was the parents of primary school students in Yazd in the academic year 2020-2021. The sample size was 300 people and they were selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method, and finally, 286 people completed the questionnaires. Research measurements included the Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scale (CCNES), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and Brief Strength Test (BST). SPSS23 and PLS-SEM3 software was used for data analysis. Result: The results showed that parents' character strengths do not explain supportive CCNE (β=0.18, p=0.16), but negatively explain non-supportive CCNE (β=-0.57, p=0.001). character strengths are a positive explainer of emotion regulation (β=0.55, p=0.001). The findings showed that emotion regulation does not explain supportive CCNE (β = -0.09, p = 0.59) and non-supportive CCNE (β = -0.07, p = 0.73). The indirect effects of parents' character strengths on supportive and non-supportive CCNE due to the mediating role of emotional regulation are not significant.Conclusion: In general, it can be said that the character strengths that constitute human virtues can lead to an increase in emotional regulation in parents and, on the other hand, lead to a decrease in non-supportive CCNE in parents.
