This research has been conducted with the aim of the examination of such a role by comparing hope and self-efficacy of addicts in mainten-ance methadone therapy who were without lapses and those with repeated lapses. This re- search was a causal-comparative design study. The population of the research consisted of all the addicts referred to the maintenance metha- done therapy centers of Khorramabad city in the first half of 1394 (2015). For this purpose, one group of 40 patients with repeated lapses and another group of 40 patients without lap-ses were selected by convenience sampling. They were asked to fill Hope and Self-Effi- cacy Questionnaires. Results of analysis of variance indicated that although the scores of hope were high in these two groups, there was no significant difference between them in this variable, and they were significantly different only in self-efficacy. It could be concluded that, in order to gain positive and maintaining therapeutic outcomes, in addition to high levels of hope, high levels of self-efficacy are also necessary. Manuscript profile -

This study was descriptive-correlational, in which 327 married teachers were selected by stratified sampling and completed the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS), Relationship Beliefs Inventory (RBI), and Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI). The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and multiple regressions. Findings indicated that there was a positive relation between emotional creativity and marital qua-lity. Moreover, there were negative relations bet-ween marital quality with subscales of “dis-agreement is destructive” and “partner cannot change” of the Relationship Beliefs Inventory In addition, the three variables could predict marital quality. The results of this study em-phasize the importance of relationship beliefs, emotional creativity, and the use of appropriate training programs to correct dysfunctional beliefs for increasing marital quality Manuscript profile -

The present research was a descriptive (non-experimental) study of corre-lational type. To do so, 400 undergraduate stu-dents of Tabriz University were selected by random multi-stage cluster sampling method. They responded to Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), short form of Wells Metacognition Question-naire (MCQ-30), Hill’s Perfectionism Inven-tory (PI), and Folkman and Lazarus’ Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ). Data were analyzed via path analysis by Amos software. Research findings revealed that the causal in-direct metacognition path, mediated by per-fectionism has a significant effect on fatigue feeling (p>0.01). Also, perfectionism mediated by emotional oriented coping style has an indirect effect on fatigue feeling (p>0.01). On the basis of the results, focusing on the mediating role of Perfectionism may consist an important part of treatment for people with chronic fatigue syndrome Manuscript profile -

8 - Investigation of Demand-Resources-Support Job Design Model in the Industrial, Financial, Healthcare, and Public Workplaces

One of these models is demand-resource-support model. It seems that this model varies in different orga-nizational workplaces because of special fea-tures of these settings. This study was conduc-ted to investigate the demand-resources-sup-port job design model in the industrial, finan-cial, healthcare, and public workplaces. The re-search samples were selected from four sec-tors, namely industry (n=928), healthcare (n=526), financial department (n=483), and public organizations (n=582). The samples res-ponded to research instruments consisting of Time, Physical Effort, Autonomy, Skill Utili-zation, Social Support, Occupational Safety, Task Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment,and Fatigue Questionnaires. Evaluation of mea-surement equivalence in four selections were tested via factor invariance technique. The re-sults showed that the six-factor model has a better fit than other models both in terms of the chi square indexes (respectively, in indus-try=1.85, in hospitals=1.67, in business =1.71, in governmental organizations =1.92) and in terms of absolute and detailed indexes (in all four groups, these values only reach to optimal levels=0.90 in the fifth model), as well as in terms of residual indexes (the amounts in all four groups in the fifth model were less than 0.04). The results showed that, in all four sections, skill utilization predicts task satis-faction and organizational commitment. The required time factor predicts the fatigue, and social support predicts all three variables of task satisfaction, organizational commitment, and fatigue. Manuscript profile -

This experimental study was conducted in Sari City (Iran) in 2014-2015 among female students who were at the age of 14-15 and had adjustment problems. Introduced by teachers, through giving tests and screening, 40 students were selected by simple random sampling and were placed in the experimental and control groups by random arrangement. In the pre-test, all participants completed Snyder Hope Questionnaire (SHQ). The students in the experimental group receiv-ed coping skills training according to CBTbased on positive psychology (Freedenberg, 2010b) for 14 sessions (two sessions per week, 1.5 hour each), while the control group re-mained on the waiting list. Then, both groups were assessed once more. Analysis of covari-ance demonstrated that after controlling for the effect of pre-test, there was a significant dif-ference in hope between experimental and con-trol groups at post-test.
