      The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between academic resilience (AR) and academic engagement (AE) with the mediating role of emotional self-regulation (ESR). The study was descriptive - correlational, and the participants were 11th-12th grade boy students (n=22), studying either mathematics or life sciences, in the academic year 2018-19 in Tehran. The participants were selected by using the convenience sampling method. The data was collected by the Rio and Tseng Academic Engagement Scale (AES), the Samuels Academic Resilience Inventory (ARI), and the Grass and John Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The results of the path analysis method showed a significant relationship (P≤0.01) between AR-AE, AR-ESR, as well as AE- ESR. The results also indicated that AR (P≤0.001) and ESR (P≤0.01) can predict AE. Therefore, it can be concluded that AR improvement with ESR mediation will result in more academic engagement in students. Manuscript profile

      The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of flourishing education on increasing the socio-emotional competencies of students in the first three years of primary school. The research was quasiexperimental with pre-test-post-test de-sign and followup with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all students of the first three years of primary school in Torbat-e Heydarieh in the academic year of 2019-2020. By available sampling method, 50 male students were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 25 (experimental and control). The instrument used in this study was the Emotional - Social Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ). The experimental group underwent closed-loop training during 8 sessions of 90 minutes and 2 sessions per week and the control group remained without any interventions. Data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software and multi-variate analysis of variance. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the components of emotional-social competence in the experimental and control groups. There is also a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test results of the experimental group (P<0.01). Based on this, closed loop education based on prosperity can be considered as an effective way to increase the emotional and social competencies of primary school students which can be used in schools.

      Abstract: The aim of the present study was to systematically reviewing studies related to academic procrastination to identify a model and theoretical framework. This re-search was a secondary study and according to the implementation method was consi-dered as a systematic review. By searching in valid data-bases and studies that have dealt with the issue of academic pro-crastination from various aspects in the period of 2001-2021 and based on the PRISMA method, after identifying 1645 ar-ticles and screening 154 articles, among them 43 articles were selected for review.The results showed that predictors and correlators of academic procrastination were classified in five psychological approaches including: personality, contextual-environmental, cogni-tive- neuro-logical, emotional, and motiva-tional-volitional and categorized by internal and external consequences. The results of this classification led to the presentation of a comprehensive theoretical framework entitled the "Pentagon model of academic procrastin-ation" in which the inter-action between approaches and outcomes were emphasised. Based on these results, practical and research suggestions were provided for further research in the field of academic procrastination (passive and active(. Manuscript profile
