Child-teacher relationship is one of the determinants of students’ behaviors, especially those with specific problems, which in turn can be affected by other factors. The present study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of homework problems in child-teacher relationship, behavior problems, and social adjustment amongst students with learning disability. Among the elementary students with learning disability referred to the learning disability education centers affiliated to Yazd Education Organization, Iran, 231 ones were selected randomly. The data were gathered using the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale, Teacher-Child Rating Scale, and Homework Problems Checklist and were then analyzed by Path analysis. The findings showed that homework problems were positively correlated to child-teacher conflict and negatively associated with child-teacher closeness among Learning Disabled (LD) students. Overall, the child-teacher relationship affected homework problems, eventually leading to behavioral or social adjustment problems. In other words, homework problems played a mediating role in the relationship between the quality of child-teacher relationship and LD students’ behavioral problems and social adjustment. Hence, improving the child-teacher relationship can reduce homework problems and, as a result, promote social adjustment among LD students.

The drugs are a strategic and multifaceted threat from a pathological point of view, that one of its aspects may become more prominent than the other aspects over time. This threat endangers not only individual security but also national security and the ontological or existential security of a society. This study aimed to investigate the predictive psychological factors of drug dealings. This is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of the present study included all the people of Lordegan in 2019. The target group was 50 drug dealers that were selected by chain sampling (snowball), and another group was 50 ordinary people in the community who were not addicted and had no role in drug dealing by available sampling. Zuckerman Excitement Questionnaire (1978) and Johnson & Wister's (2010) dark personality questionnaire were used to gathering information, and the data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software. The findings showed that the variables of age and marital status (single and divorced) and all subscales of these two components except narcissism, were strong predictors of drug dealings. Also, the comparison of drug dealers and control group showed that the amount of dark personality traits and excitement are significantly different in the two groups. The motivation of the drug trade is based on a combination of psychological, emotional, and social factors, and People's emotions are used as psychological mechanisms to moderate the incompatible and dark traits of individuals' personalities.
