Introduction: It is difficult if not impossible to achieve educational and goals with compromise emotional disturbances. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of emotional regulation training on social adjustment and interpersonal sensitivity of students. Method: This is a semi-experimental study with pre-test-post-test with the experimental group and the control group. The statistical population consisted of all high school boys in Tabriz in the academic year of 1395-96. Multi-stage random sampling was used. Based on an interpersonal sensitivity questionnaire, 30 students were selected. They were randomly Assigned to experimental and control groups. Students of both groups responded to the social compatibility checklist for school students. The experimental group was subjected to an excitement training program for 12 sessions. Then, in the post-test, both groups responded to the questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multivariate and single-variable covariance analysis. Results: The results showed that emotional regulation training reduced the interpersonal sensitivity in the experimental group at post-test and stage. Also, the level of social adjustment in the experimental group in the post-test and stage increased and the comparison of the mean scores of the pre-test-post-test showed a significant difference. Conclusion: Considering that emotional regulation training can reduce interpersonal sensitivity and promote social adjustment of students, it is better to emphasize the emotional aspects of students in educational programs.

Method: the research population was all student of universities of Tehran, and the sample was 180 student with convenience sampling. The social effect deduced from the changes in decisions before and after subjects' awareness of the most popular choices of previous participants. Although the subjects can maintain their choices. The non-normal distribution of data made us use non-parametric tests like Chi-Square, Wilcoxon, and Mann Whitney. Results: The effect of the decision-making was significant (more in favor of irrational economic decision-making). People faced to conformity booster problems change four problems on average, and in conformity reducer problems changed 3 answers on average (significantly 7 out of 31 problems). Participants just by observing a sign changed their overall 23 percent of all questions in line with the related kind of conformity (p <0.05). Women showed more intense tendency to conform, and "risk aversion" and "ambiguity" in general were more prone to it (p <0.05).

Method: The method of research was descriptive correlational and structural equation modeling. The sample population consisted of 130 opiate addicts in Zahedan addiction treatment clinics. They were selected by simple random sampling. In order to collect the data, Social Support Appraisal Scale (SSAS), Negative Emotions (DASS- 21) and Relapse Prediction Scale (RPS) were used. The data were analyzed using stepwise regression, structural equation modeling, SPSS 23 and Smart-PLS soft wares. Results: The results showed that there was a significant correlation between research variables. Depression and anxiety predicted craving and stress predicted relapse rate in substance dependent subjects with relapse (p<0.05), also structural equation modeling revealed that social support has a significant negative effect on relapse prediction and decreases the effect of negative emotions on relapse prediction. Social support acts as restrain while negative emotions have a positive influence on relapse prediction (p<0.05) and increase relapse in opium addicts. Conclusion: Nowadays, addiction is one of the global issues and concern. Since human is a social creature, he or she needs to have relationship with other people and need their help and support. Therefore, social support as well as psychological health enhancement act as a shield against post treatment relapse. Creating social support for addicts who are in treatment is one of the important elements in decreasing crave and substance withdrawal.

Conclusion: Regarding the relationship between personality traits and online shopping inclination, it is suggested that strategies tailored to personality traits be used for attracting online customers and increasing their willingness for shopping. Keywords: Online Shopping Inclination, Personality Traits, HEXACO Traits Model

Past studies indicate that prosocial behavior enhances mood. Most of these studies have only investigated mood enhancement in the specific situation that has triggered empathy; while prosocial behavior does not necessarily take place in the same situation. The goal of this study is to investigate the enhancement effect of prosocial behavior on mood between empathy-triggering situation and an unrelated situation. 60 students studying in universities of Tehran participated in this experiment. After inducing empathy & primary mood measurement, the first group conducted a situationally relevant prosocial behavior, the second group conducted a situationally irrelevant prosocial behavior, & the third group participated in a control task. Afterward, the mood of participants was measured again. After controlling for pre-test scores, prosocial behavior did not have a significant effect on negative affect (P = 0/47); but had a significant effect on positive affect (P = 0/011). Pairwise comparisons revealed that situationally irrelevant prosocial behavior enhanced positive affect more than the control task (P=0/009). Lower estimation of prosocial behavior’s success, uncertainty about improvement of the receiver’s situation, and dual perspective taking may contribute to stability of negative affect. The lack of significant difference between related prosocial behavior and control groups, and the difference between unrelated prosocial behavior and control group, can be understood by predictions of how unsuccessful prosocial behaviors are to be. This suggests that mood enhancement due to prosocial behavior is more about success of prosocial behavior rather than improving welfare of empathy subjects.

Introduction: Witnessing workplace incivility is a relatively new construct. The purpose of this study was designing and testing a model of some outcomes of witnessing workplace incivility Method: Statistical population included all employees of National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC). From this population 221 employees were selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used in the study consisted of witnessing workplace incivility (Cortina et al., 2001), emotion regulation (Niven et al., 2011), negative affect (Watson et al., 1988), emotional exhaustion (Maslach & Jackson, 1981) Job satisfaction (Andrews and Whitey, 1976), work-job withdrawal (Hanisch & Hulin, 1990), and hostility ideation (Greenglass & Julkunen, 1989). The proposed model was analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with using SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 software packages. Results: Results indicated that the proposed model fitted the data relatively proper. Better fit and more meaningful results were obtained by omitting one non-significant path (emotion regulation to emotional exhaustion) and using item parceling method. Findings also showed that witnessing workplace incivility had significant relationships with emotion regulation, negative affect, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, work-job withdrawal, and hostility ideation. The meditating role of emotion regulation and negative affect on the relationships of witnessing workplace incivility with emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, work-job withdrawal, and hostility ideation was confirmed. Conclusion: based on the results regarding detrimental outcomes of witnessing workplace incivility, the managers should have specific attention to this issue.
