Introduction: This study is mainly aiming to examine the relationship between the social capital and the emotional intelligence with the faculty members’ professional competence. Methodology: this is a descriptive-correlational research and an applied one in terms of purpose. The statistical population included the faculty members of the universities in the north-west of Iran in 2019, among which 335 samples were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. The research instrument consisted of the questionnaire of social capital (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998) and emotional Intelligence (Goleman, 1998) and a researched-made questionnaire of professional competence, the validity and the reliability of which were calculated by face validity and the Cronbach’s Alpha test (0.82), respectively. The data so collected were analyzed through statistical tests of correlation and structural equations, by the software SPSS and Amos. Findings: the results showed that the means of the variables including professional competence, social capital and emotional intelligence were computed as average, based on the scores 1-5, as 3.49, 3.04 and 3.11, respectively. The social capital and emotional intelligence have significant and direct relationship, respectively (p < 0.01 and r=0.59) and (p < 0.01 and r=0.57), with the professional competence of the faculty members. They may predict nearly 0.53 variance of the criterion variable. Conclusion: considering the results achieved, we may suggest that emotional intelligence and social capital are effective in the competence of the university professors and they are suggested to be rather noted in the policy-making of university systems.

Introduction: Suicidal ideation is destructive thoughts among students which can pave the way for suicide attempts. This study aimed to extract a psychological model for the formation of suicidal ideation as social harm among students. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach based on the grounded theory.
Method: The participants were 17 students who were selected using purposive and theoretical sampling from among students with suicidal ideation or a history of a suicide attempts. The participants were interviewed and all interviews were recorded, transcribed, and finally analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s systematic analysis.
Results: The results showed that the core theme of the model of the formation of suicidal ideation was a failure to improve living conditions and the intensified perception of unpleasant experiences. Pessimism about life and the future, demotivation, and extreme helplessness were the three factors accounting for suicidal ideation.The interfering factors identified in this study were cognitive and behavioral self-destruction, believing life to be uncontrollable, and emotional impulsivity. Furthermore, the reactions to the core theme were meaninglessness of life, loneliness, deep isolation, and existential anxiety. The outcomes identified in this study were four main categories of liberation from life, attachment to death, planning the manner of death, and carrying out the decision to commit suicide.
Conclusion: Gaining insight into the cycle of formation of suicidal ideation, especially into the interfering and underlying factors in the formation of the core theme can contribute to developing and implementing educational, preventive, and constructive treatment programs to address these factors that facilitate suicidal ideation.

Introduction: This research was carried out with the purpose of investigating the effect of attitude towards sexual harassment (overt, covert negative, and positive) on sexual harassment in the workplace considering the mediating role of intention to sexual harassment.Method: The design of the research was a correlational study. The population of the research was all the males banking organizations, stock exchange, and insurance offices in Tehran city from among them, 273 were selected based on the convenience sampling method. The research tools included sexual harassment questionnaire (Fitzgerald, Gelfand, & Drasgow, 1995) and a researcher-made questionnaire on attitude toward sexual harassment (Hosseini, Mehdad & Saffarinia, 2021) and intention to sexual harassment (Hosseini, Mehdad & saffarinia, 2021). Data were analyzed by using the Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling.Findings: results showed there was a significant positive relationship between positive attitudes towards sexual harassment and intention to sexual harassment and a significant negative relationship between overt and covert negative attitudes towards sexual harassment with an intention to sexual harassment (p≤0.05). 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.

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: Elderly is thought to be a transition from a life stage to a new one and empty nest syndrome seems to be one prevalent phenomenon in this period. It is essential to identify effective interventions to treat this syndrome. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the objective of the effectiveness of existential consciousness group therapy on social rejection, social adjustment, social sufficiency, and cognitive avoidance in the elderly with empty nest syndrome.
Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental of pretest-posttest and control group design with a follow-up period. The statistical population included all the elderly with empty nest syndrome living in elderly care centers in Tehran, Iran, in 2022. Among whom, 30 were selected using convenience sampling and, according to the inclusion criteria, assigned into experimental and control groups equally (15 people in each group). The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of 90-minute existential consciousness therapy (shariatmadar,1393). Data collection tools were the Penhaligon Perceived Rejection Scale (2009), Bell Adjustment Scale (1961), Fellner, Lees& Phillips Social Sufficiency scale (1990), and Sexton and Dougas Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (2008). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA).
Findings: The results showed that existential consciousness group therapy reduced the feeling of social rejection (F=4/187, P<0/05), cognitive avoidance (F=2/395, P<0/05), and increased social competence (F=2/395, P<0/05) in the elderly with empty nest syndrome, but it had no significant effect on the subjects' social adjustment (F=0/0337, P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, in designing programs related to promoting health in the elderly with empty nest syndrome, existential consciousness therapy can be used as an effective intervention for improving social rejection, social sufficiency, and cognitive avoidance.

Introduction: In the past, cosmetic surgery was performed to restore the normal function and shape of an organ of the body, but today, cosmetic surgery has lost its original function. The aim of this study was to determine the fit of the structural model of the relationship between the tendency to cosmetic surgery with the attitude to fashion and negative body image mediated by cognitive emotion regulation based on the type of surgery in women applying for cosmetic surgery in Bushehr.Method: The method of the present study was a correlation model of structural equations. The statistical population of this study included all women applicants for cosmetic surgery who referred to beauty clinics in Bushehr in 2020. The sample size consisted of 400 women who were selected by available random sampling method. Data collection tools included Etemadifar and Amani (2013) Tendency to Cosmetic Surgery Questionnaire, Rezaei Fashion Attitude (2014), Littleton et al. Body Image Concern Inventory (2005), and Garnefski (2001) Cognitive Emotion Regulation.Findings: The results showed that the attitude to fashion and negative body image mediated by cognitive emotion regulation predicted the tendency to cosmetic surgery in women. The findings of the structural model showed that the direct path of attitude to fashion and negative body image with cognitive emotion regulation, and with the tendency to cosmetic surgery mediated by cognitive emotion regulation is significant.Conclusion: Data analysis showed the appropriateness of the indicators and the model had a good fit. The results of this study can introduce a protocol for psychotherapists and counselors in providing specialized counseling to women seeking surgery to correct irrational beliefs and cognitions and teach coping styles to reduce negative body image and fashion and increase cognitive emotion regulation.

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.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of group training of transactional analysis on distress tolerance and social problem solvingof delinquent adolescents. Methods: The study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and control group and follow-up period. The statistical population consisted of delinquent male adolescents who were resident in Ahwaz's correction and rehabilitation center. Participants included 30 people who were selected by purposeful sampling method. They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups and respond to the Distress Tolerance Scale (Simons & Gaher, 2005) and the Social Problem Solving Inventory- Short Form (D’Zurilla et al., 2002). The experimental group received 10 90-minute sessions of transactional analysis sessions. After therapeutic interventions and two months later, both groups were evaluated with the research questionnaires. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measures. Results: The results showed that group training of transactional analysis has a significant effect on increased distress tolerance (p < 0.01) and constructive social problem solving (p < 0.05) and reduced unconstructive social problem solving (p < 0.01) of delinquent adolescents. Conclusion: The findings suggested the effectiveness of group training of transactional analysis on increased distress tolerance and improved social problem-solving in delinquent adolescents.

The statistical population of the study was all students of Payame Noor University, South Tehran Branch in the academic year 2016-2017. And responded online to the Keys and Shapiro (2004) Social Health Questionnaire, the Neff Self-Compassion Scale (2003), the Connor & Davidson (2003) Resilience Questionnaire, and the Zimet et al.'s Social Support Questionnaire (1988). Results: multiple regression analysis showed that the resilience component predicts 34% and social support 27% of the variance of social health. Also, resilience and social support indirectly and with their modulating role, compassion predicts 24% and 4% of the variance of social health, respectively. Self-compassion also has a 39% positive effect on explaining social health.Conclusion: Social health can be enhanced through factors such as resilience and social support, and in the meantime, the more self-compassion people have, the more desirable it can be.

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.

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.
