Purpose: The aim of this research was comparison the development of ownership concept in preschool and elementary school children. Methodology: Present study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation was causal comparative. Research statistical population was all male and female children of preschool and elementary school of Pakdasht township in 2017-18 academic years. The research sample was 100 people (25 people in each grade) who were selected by random cluster sampling method. To collect data used from individually structured interview (31 questions) that the face and content validity of interview questions was confirmed by the educational sciences and psychology experts and its reliability was reported desirable by method of examiners. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance method in SPSS software version 19. Findings: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the overall scores of the groups in the objective questions (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between them in the descriptive questions (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that preschool and first year elementary school children in compared to third and fifth year elementary school children do not have a good understanding and these children, unlike third and fifth year elementary school children, consider the first person who associates with the object as its owner.

Purpose: The aim of this research was to study the relationship of social and cultural capitals with academic motivation. Methodology: It was an applied study in terms of purpose and a descriptive-correlational one in regards to the method. The statistical population consisted of 14500 high school students of the Ilam province in the school year 2019-2020. The sample included 380 subjects chosen based on Morgan Table by multistage cluster sampling method. The tools of gathering data included the Vallerand Academic Motivation Questionnaire (1992); the social capital used for measurement of state social capital (2015), and the cultural capital self-made questionnaire which was validated based on the opinion of instructors with a reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) of 0.84. SPSS and structural equations in Amos were used to study the research hypotheses based on correlational coefficients and regression. Findings: Findings showed that the social and cultural capitals were significantly related with the academic motivation at (P<0.001, R=0.37) and (P<0.001 and R=0.53). Results of structural equations showed that social capital had direct significant influence on academic motivation (the standard regression coefficient was 0.49). “Cultural capital” with a standard regression coefficient of 0.68 had a direct significant influence on “academic motivation” and its indirect effect through “social capital” on “academic motivation” is 0.25. Altogether both social and cultural capitals directly and indirectly indicated the academic motivation variance at R2= 0.45. Conclusion: Taking the significant role of the cultural and social capitals in academic motivation found in this study, it seems mandatory to heed to these concepts in the academic system.

Purpose: The aim of this research was predicting the family function based on early maladaptive schemas and couple’s communication patterns. Methodology: Present study was descriptive from type of correlation. The research population was married female employees working in public and non-public schools of Tehran city and their spouses in 2017-2018 academic years. The research sample was 482 people (241 couples) who were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. The research instruments were the questionnaires of family function (Epstein and et all, 1983), early maladaptive schemas (Young, 1998) and couple’s communication patterns (Christensen and Sullaway, 1984). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficients and multivariate regression methods in SPSS software version 24. Findings: The results showed that the schemas of disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, other directedness and excessive vigilance and inhibition, constructive communication pattern, avoidance communication pattern and demand/retiring communication pattern had a significant relationship with family function. Also, early maladaptive schemas and couple’s communication patterns significantly could predict 52.9 percent of variance of family function (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, to promote the family function can be decrease the rate of their early maladaptive schemas and improve the rate of couple’s communication patterns, who for this purpose the use of psychological interventions include schema therapy can be useful.

Purpose: To compare the production criteria of tactile sensory books from the perspective of production experts Methodology: The method of the present study was combined in terms of applied purpose and qualitative-quantitative in terms of data collection. In the qualitative part, in order to obtain the consensus of experts in the production and publication of tactile sensory books, the Delphi method was used, and in the quantitative part, using a researcher-made questionnaire to the view of production and publishing experts regarding the production of tactile sensory books. Analytical survey form was performed. In the quantitative part, two relative coefficients of content validity and content validity index were used. The content validity index of the researcher-made questionnaire was reported to be higher than 0.79. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.863 based on Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Also, for data analysis, descriptive statistics of mean and inferential statistics of "Friedman" were used with the help of SPSS software. Findings: The findings indicate that the four sub-components of tactile capabilities, audience recognition, texture diversity, and form and shape diversity from the technical criterion of producing a tactile book with an average rank of 16 with the highest rank and the two components of natural objects and circulation or numbers with an average rank of 4.81 have the lowest rank. Regarding the production content criterion, the sub-components of attractiveness with the highest rank of 5.76 and the educational aspect of the content of these books from the point of view of production experts with 3.29 has the lowest position. In the criterion of presenting the production of a tactile book, the sub-component of effective and reciprocal communication with the audience has the highest rank with 5.55 and the role of librarian with 3.07 has the lowest rank. Conclusion: by comparing the three main technical criteria, content and presentation of the production of tactile books, the most important criterion with an average rank of 2.67 content criteria was identified which has the most role for production from the perspective of production and publishing experts.

Findings: The data were analyzed by tests of Pearson correlation and multivariate regression. Results: Findings showed that there was positive and significant correlation between spdemic optimism, perception competence and positive achievement emotions with academic engagement (P<0/01). There was negative and significant correlation between negative with academic engagement (P<0/01). Regression analyses also revealed that %79/2 of variance of academic engagement was explained by academic optimism, perception competence and achievement emotions. Conclusion: This study confirmed the significant contribution of academic optimism, perception competence and achievement emotions in academic engagement of students. The results of this research can help planners and implementers of education organization to adopt appropriate educational policies in order to engage students in academic studies and the factors affecting it.
