The study reported in this paper aimed at developing and validating a family-based mental empowerment program to enhance cognitive processes, psychological hardiness, and academic performance of slow learners. The present study was fundamental in nature. The statistical population included psychologists and exceptional children's education specialists, family education instructors, and parents of slow learners in Tehran. The sample population consisted of three professors in psychology and exceptional children's education from the University of Tehran, three family education instructors, and three mothers of slow learners, selected through purposive sampling. The validation process of the studied program was carried out in five steps (reviewing theoretical foundations, reviewing previous research and existing programs, developing program content, validating the content, and explaining the program validation). The Delphi method was used for program content development, triangulation and Lawshe's content validity index were employed for content validity determination, and the expert agreement percentage method was used for determining the program’s reliability. The overall content validity coefficient of the sessions stood at 85%, and the program’s reliability coefficient was 86%. The family-based mental empowerment program aimed at enhancing cognitive processes, psychological hardiness, and academic performance of slow learners demonstrated high validity and reliability. Therefore, this program can be used to improve the cognitive and academic status of slow learners.

The purpose of this research was to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between dimensions of job burnout with organizational commitment and job satisfaction among teachers. This research was descriptive and correlational in nature. The statistical population included all teachers in District 2 of Zahedan city in 2025, from which 223 individuals (144 women and 79 men) were selected through Stratified random sampling. To collect data, the Maslash (1985) burnout questionnaire, Smith et al.'s (1969) job satisfaction questionnaire, Allen and Meyer's(1991) organizational commitment questionnaire, and Connor and Davidson's(2003) resilience questionnaire were used. For data analysis, SPSS-26 software (for descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient) and Smart PLS-4 (for path analysis ) were used. Results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between dimensions of job burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) with psychological resilience, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction, while personal accomplishment has a positive and significant relationship with these variables. Path analysis indicated that psychological resilience plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between dimensions of job burnout (personal accomplishment, depersonalization, and emotional exhaustion) and job satisfaction, but does not have a significant mediating role in the relationship between these dimensions and organizational commitment. The research model was able to explain 68 percent of the variance in job satisfaction, 46 percent of the variance in organizational commitment, and 46 percent of the variance in psychological resilience.
