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.

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.

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.

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.
