Introduction: Bullying at school is a type of interpersonal violence that could have serious short-term and long-term consequences for both the bullying and the victimized students. Therefore, it is essential to identify the underlying causes. The present study aimed to explore the relationship between social behavior, social preference, social competence, and bullying behaviors among students by considering the moderating role of gender.. Method: This study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all 13-15-year old students in Kashan. Using cluster sampling, 414 students (202 females & 212 males) were chosen. The participants filled in Illinois Bullying Scale (2001), Warden & Mackinnon Social Behavior Questionnaire (2003), and Smart and Sanson Social Competence Questionnaire (2003), and Sociogram. Results: Pearson correlation coefficients showed that there are significant, negative relationships between bullying with social competence and social behavior and positive correlation between bullying and social rejection. There was no relationship between bullying and social acceptance. Moreover, regression analysis indicates that gender (β=.17, t=4.11), social behavior (β=-0.43, t=-9.0), and social rejection (β=.11, t=2.65) can predict 30% of the variance in the bullying behavior. Furthermore, gender has a moderating role only in the relationship between social rejection and social behavior with bullying behavior. Conclusion: The results suggest the critical importance of competence, social behavior, and social preference in causing bullying behaviors. Hence, bullying behaviors could be decreased by designing and implementing programs to teach social behavior for obtaining a desirable social position among peers and especially reducing social rejection and enhancing social behaviors among male students.

Introduction: Today, the risky driving style among the citizens, especially the young people, is one of the most important social concerns, the consequence of which, in addition to the individual itself, can cause irreparable damage to other social activists and disturb social discipline. Therefore, the present study was conducted to socially explain risky driving based on the structure of social capital. Method: The research method is a survey and the statistical population includes all people aged 15-34 years old in Tabriz city with 579694 people. of these, 630 people using the Cochran statistical formula and multi-stage clustering method sample size were selected; the data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. SPSS-22 software was used to analyze the data. Results: The results of the research indicate that the correlation between all social capital components including social support, social participation, social awareness, social cohesion, and social trust with risky behaviors at a meaningful level of less than 0.01 was confirmed, the type of relationship negative and inverse. The results of the regression analysis also showed that the variables present in the regression model were able to predict 11.5% of the changes in risky driving. Conclusion: Considering the significant relationship and the effective role of social capital in predicting risky driving in the present research, it can be admitted that having social capital can act as social protection against social problems such as risky driving of youth. Hence, it is more than necessary to establish a framework for improving the social capital of young people both at the family level and at the community level.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of training on the enrichment of interpersonal relationships based on emotionally focused therapy on psychosocial adjustment and the social health of married women with multiple sclerosis. Method: The research design was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test with a control and follow-up group. The statistical population of the study included all married women with MS who were members of the Isfahan MS Association in 2019, and 30 people were selected based on the criteria for entering the study and targeted sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people. The experimental group participated in eight 90-minute sessions based on the relationship enhancement program, but no intervention was performed for the control group. In three stages, the subjects answered Derogatis & Derogatis psychosocial adjustment to disease (1990) and Keys social health questionnaires (2004). Also, the research data were analyzed by repeated analysis of variance. Results: Enrichment sessions based on emotion-oriented approach improved social-psychological adjustment with the disease in the post-test and follow-up phase (p < 0.01) and its effect remained constant over time. However, experimental intervention only in the post-test stage increased the social health of married women with multiple sclerosis (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It seems that teaching how to enrich interpersonal relationships based on the emotion approach has led to improved psychosocial adjustment with the disease and increased the social health of married women with multiple sclerosis.
