The study was aimed to compare social isolation and psychological well-being in students with specific learning disabilities and normal. The current research was descriptive and the causal-comparative type of research. The statistical population of the present study included all students with learning disabilities and normal students of Urmia city in the academic year of 2022-2023. A sample of 34 people (17 students with Specific learning disabilities and 17 normal students) were selected for each group using targeted sampling. The group of students with learning disabilities was diagnosed by the teacher and by a specialist in psychology and education of children with special needs. Social Isolation Assessment Questionnaire of Asher et al., (1984) and Sterling's Children's Well-Being Questionnaire were used to collect data. Analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the social isolation and mental well-being of students with specific learning disabilities and normal students (P<0.05). Therefore, it can be said that students with specific learning disabilities need to receive effective interventions to improve social isolation and well-being.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation on the working memory components of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The statistical population of the research included all male students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Tehran. To select a sample from among all male students suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Tehran, 30 of them were in the age range of 7 to 12 years old (students in elementary school) according to the inclusion criteria using the purposeful sampling method. They were selected as samples and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The research tools included Connor's behavioral questionnaire and the Wechsler IQ memory test for children. The cognitive rehabilitation program of Yar Captain Log computer was implemented for 10 sessions of 60 minutes and twice a week for the experimental group. The results of the covariance analysis showed that the computerized cognitive rehabilitation program has improved the active memory components of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (P<0.05) and can be used as a suitable method to improve the active memory of these students.

The present study was conducted by a post-event method to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and quality of life in school with regard to the type of schools studied. The statistical population of the study is the second-year high school students of Sanandaj who had registered in the academic year 2018-2019. Estimation of sample size using Cochran's formula for the community of gifted students was equal to 118 and for normal students was equal to 137 people who were selected by cluster sampling. The Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and Quality of Life Questionnaire at Ainley & Bourke School (1992) were used to collect data. The results of the independent group t-test and multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is no significant difference between gifted and normal students on the whole scale of psychological capital, but there is a significant difference in terms of the hope component. There was also a significant difference between gifted and normal school students in the whole scale of school quality of life and opportunity subcomponent. Also, based on the calculated beta coefficients, it can be concluded that the relationship between the whole scale of psychological capital and the hope component with the quality of school life is stronger among students of ordinary schools than in gifted schools.

The purpose of this study was to compare the process of developing the moral reasoning of blind and visually impaired students aged 11 to 18 years old in Tehran. The research method was descriptive of causal-comparative type. The statistical society included all blind and sighted students aged 11 to 18 years in Tehran who were studying in ordinary schools and schools for the blind in the academic year 1995-96. Of these, a sample of 120 people (60 blind and 60 sighted) was selected. The blind group was selected using sampling method and Bina group was selected by multi-stage random sampling method. Moral reasoning test was used to collect data. To analyze the data, independent t-test was used. The results of the data analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the growth of moral reasoning for blind and intermediate students aged 11-14 years in Tehran (p <0.05), but there was no significant difference between the ages of 15 and 18 years (05 / 0 <p). Given the lower ethical reasoning at the age of 11-14, it is suggested that interventions and effective studies be conducted.

One of the main reasons for maladaptive behaviors of students in schools, lack the ability to management of different emotions. The purpose of the present research was to examine the effectiveness of self-regulation ability training on decreasing aggressive behavior of maladjusted students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population consisted of all boy high school students in Rasht city, wich among them after performing maladjustment questionnaire a sample of 20 students were selected by random cluster sampling method and assigned in two groups control and experimental randomly. Self-regulation instruction was conducted for the experimental group in 9 sessions, while the control group received no training at all. The Bass and Perry (1992) and Student Adaptation Inventory (Sins & Singh, 1993) were used to collect of data. Finally data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. The results indicated that self-regulation training were significantly effective in aggression reduction. Also, experimental group in all four subscales (physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility) achieved lower scores on the pretests than the posttest. Therefore, it can be concluded that self-regulatory education programs help to reduce aggressive behaviors by increasing the ability to adjust and manage excitement.

The study was done to determine the relationship between resilience and happiness in parents with behavioral problems in elementary school students in Isfahan. It was a descriptive and correlative research. The statistical population was all elementary school students that studying in Isfahan during 2014-2015. From statistical population 120 students were selected through multistage cluster sampling. The data was collected using resilience and happiness questionnaires and parent form of child behavior checklist. Pearson’s correlation, simultaneous regression and Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to analyze data. The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between resilience of parents and emotional, anxiety, hyperactivity and oppositional behavior problems. Happiness of parents was significantly negatively correlated with emotional, anxiety, physical, hyperactivity, oppositional behavior and conduct problems. Resilience of parents predicted hyperactivity problem and happiness of parents predicted emotional, anxiety, physical, oppositional behavior and conduct problems. Also, there were no difference between girls and boys in terms of the dimensions of behavioral problems. This result emphasizes that parents’ traits have essential role in behavioral problems of girl and boy students.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of oriented problem solving training on behavioral problems among students. Research design was real experimental, of a kind pretest, posttest, follow-up with the control group. Total of 120 students with an average age and grade 11 and 5 were selected by random sampling method and with random assignment were divided into two experimental groups (n=60) and control (n=60). After 10 training sessions to parents and teachers, the experimental group was trained family/school oriented problem-solving program for three months. For data collection were used from grading scale behavioral problems (Gresham & Elliot, 1990) in the three forms of students, parents and teachersAccording to the report's students, parents and teachers in three step pre-test and posttest (on three months) and follow-up (on one month) that in the experimental group there was a significant difference between the scores of pretest and posttest scores on the subscales of behavioral problem, but there wasn't a significant difference between the scores of posttest and follow-up on the subscales of behavioral problem. So family/school oriented problem solving training impact on students' behavioral problem and problem solving training has great importance as a preventive program.

Specific learning disability is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Students with this disability, in addition to academic problems, have high levels of socio-emotional problems. The aim of this study was the effectiveness of play with feeling words on reducing alexithymia in students with learning disabilities. This study is quasi-experimental with pre-post test. The population included all students second to six grade with learning disabilities in Kermanshah that 24 student selected and randomly assigned in two experimental and control groups. The research instrument was Toronto Alexithymia Scale. The experimental group plays feeling words eight sessions 30-minute and twice a week. Covariance analysis indicated that play therapy with feeling words caused reduction in children's alexithymia (P<0/001). Results of this study showed that play therapy with feeling words can be used as a convenient way to help students with learning disorders to reduce their alexithymia. This type of play therapy with symbolic expression of feelings increases ability to express of negative emotions such as anxiety and led to the adaptation.

The purpose of this study was to investigating of the effectiveness of puppet play therapy intervention on social skills of male students with autism disorder. The sample size was 24 male students with autism disorder that were selected by in available sampling method, and after a Garz test run they were assigned in to experimental and control group, randomly. Such as each group consist of 12 students. Both groups were assessed pre-test. The Experimental group received puppet play therapy training in 21 sessions while control group did not. After completion of intervention period for experimental group the post-test was administered for both groups. The Stone`s social skills Scale were administered to assess the social skills. The data analyses by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that there were significantly increase in the mean scores of social skills and subscales (understanding/perspective taking, initiating interactions, responding to interaction and maintaining interactions) in experimental group (P<0.01).Observations implied the interference of puppet play therapy intervention for improving social skills of male students with autism spectrum disorder. The findings not only confirmed the effectiveness of this method, but also opens up the wider and deeper approach to puppet play therapy intervention and encourages therapists to consider puppet play therapy intervention as an effective therapy for students with autism disorder.

In this Research, the effect of private speech training on executive function of boys between 9 to 11 years old in Isfahan City was examined. This research is an experimental study of pre-test/post-test with control groups. It had a two-stage sampling. Final sample included 20 attention deficit boys (10 for experiment group and 10 for first control group) and 9 normal boys for second control group. Instruments used in this research included British Picture Vocabulary scale, Short form of Wechsler's Intelligence Scale for Children- Revised, Tower subtest of NEPSY Neuropsychology test. To analyze private speech of children, their speech were videotaped while solving Tower subtest and Videos were content analyzed by three encoders. Results showed that children with attention deficit, had significantly more errors in compare to first and second control groups; while both experiment and second control group (which both had been trained) had significantly more amount of private speech in compare to first control group- which had not trained. According to the findings of the research, it can be concluded although private speech training can increase the amount of private speech produced by attention deficit children, this increase in speech, not only will not necessarily increase function of children, but it may backfire on difficult tasks.

The purpose of this study was to construct a diagnostic spelling test for third grade elementary school students and to evaluate its reliability and validity. The population included all third grade students of elementary school in Kermanshah and Kangavar region in the 2012-2013 school year. The sample consisted of 30 normal students and 30 student with spelling disorder (who had been referred to the region’s center for rehabilitation of learning disorders), who were chosen through random sampling. The test was constructed based on the third grades main spelling textbook and it included 115 words. The test’s reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha, which yielded the satisfactory result of 0.98. The validity was evaluated using group differentiation, cut point determination and interpreting the ROC curve between the two groups. The average test score for normal students was 18.18 (out of 20) and for students with LD it was 4.96, which showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) and thus established the validity of the test. The cut point score from the ROC curve was 13.40. The study successfully established reliability and validity of the constructed test, and suggests it as a tool for diagnosing spelling problems in third grade elementary students.

The purpose of the present study was to comparemoral judgment in students with and without intellectual disability in Shiraz. Theresearch method was causal-comparative, and the statistical population includedthe secondary students with and without intellectual disability ageing 16 yearsold. The sample size was 160 students (80 with intellectual disability and 80without intellectual disability). These students were selected by a cluster samplingmethod. The Moral Judgment Scale was used to measure moral judgment. Thecollected data were analyzed by t-test, MANOVA and two-way ANOVA. The resultsindicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups in thetotal scores of moral judgment and its dimensions (p<0.01). Also, the resultsshowed that there were no significant differences between males and females in thisrespect (p>0.05).According to the findings, it is suggested that any plan topromote and internalize students' moral values must be considered based ontheir cognitive development level, because there is a relationship betweenmoral and cognitive development of students.

The aim of this study is to compare responsibility between siblings of students with and without intellectual disabilities. The statistical population of this research includes the whole adolescents (aged between 12 and 18) who have siblings with and without intellectual disabilities in Shiraz city. The sample size is 170 adolescents (80 adolescents having siblings with intellectual disabilities and 90adolescents with normal siblings) that are selected by purposeful sampling. Adolescents' Responsibility Questionnaire is used for measuring the responsibility. Analysis of the data using two-way analysis of variance test shows that the responsibility of siblings of students with intellectual disabilities is significantly more than the responsibility of siblings of students without intellectual disabilities. Moreover multiple variance analysis shows that except loyalty, all the other minor scales of responsibility in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities are significantly higher than sibling of normal students. According to the findings, it is suggested that the responsibility model in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities should be studied and used by normal families so that their children become more responsible
