The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of perceived social support and vitality in the relationship between psychological capital and life expectancy in women with mentally-motor disabled children in Neishabur city. The present research method is descriptive and correlation type. The research population was all women with mentally and physically disabled children in Neishabur city in 2021 then 205 of whom were available as a statistical sample. To collect data, Zimet et al.'s perceived social support (1988), Snyder et al.'s life expectancy questionnaire (1991), Lutans psychological capital questionnaire (2007), and Ryan and Frederick's vitality questionnaire (1997) were used. Pearson's correlation test and path analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that psychological capital had a direct effect on life expectancy (0.89) and indirectly through social support on life expectancy (0.04) (p-value <0.01). Also, the results indicated that vitality did not play a mediating role in the relationship between psychological capital and life expectancy in women with mentally-motor disabled children (p-value<0.05). Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the relationship between psychological capital and life expectancy of women with mentally-motor disabled children is not a simple linear relationship and social support can mediate this relationship.

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.
