Secure attachment showed a negative significant correlation with depression, anxiety and stress, while avoidant and anxious attachment styles showed a positive significant relation with depression, anxiety, and stress. Guilt feeling had a significant impact on depression, anxiety, and stress of caregivers (p<0.01). Kinds of providing care as full time, part time were not statistically significant.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of mobility and orientation training on the motor skills of children with visual impairment. 30 male students with visual impairment (15 subjects in control group and 15 subjects in experimental group) with age ranging from 7 to 11 years from Shahid Mohebbi School in Tehran were selected.  The participants were and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups according to motor performance that was performed by Oseretsky Lincoln motor development test. The experimental group participated in a training program for 20 sessions of 45 minute and the control group performed their daily activities. Data collection was carried out for all participants in the form of pre-test, post-test and follow-up. In order to compare the two groups, the statistical model of multivariate analysis of covariance was used. The results showed a significant difference in the experimental group compared with the control group in terms of motor skills (P<0/001). Thus, it can be said that the training program of mobility and orientation can be useful to improve the motor skills of children with visual impairment.

The purpose of the present study was to predict student's success in mathematics based on the parenting styles and early maladaptive schemas. This was a correlational study, and the target population consisted of all male guidance school students in Kashan city , from which a representative sample of  200 students were selected through cluster random sampling technique. Research tools consisted of the Yung's Early Maladaptive Schema questionnaire, the khalili and khorshidi parenting style questionnaire and math scores in the final exams. After data collection, the data were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analysis. The Results showed that there were significant negative relationships between success in mathematics and some of the variables of parenting style including Authoritarian, Permissive and irresponsible, while a significant positive relationship between success in mathematics and decisive parenting style has been found. Furthermore, negative significant relationships between success in mathematics and several early maladaptive schemas including disconnection, rejection, over vigilance and inhibition has been observed. The multiple regression analysis showed that, of the early maladaptive schemas, disconnection, rejection, over vigilance and inhibition, and of the parenting styles authoritarian, permissive and authoritative were powerful predictors of success in mathematics.

Data were gathered by religion in marital relationship scale (Rezapour & et al, 2013), religious coping (Pargament & et al, 2000) and index of marital satisfaction (Hudson, 1992) and then were analyzed by correlational and regression analysis and structural equation modeling. The results showed that marital satisfaction positively and significantly correlated with all dimensions of manifestation of God in marital life and positive religious coping. There was a negative correlation between marital satisfaction and negative religious coping (p< .5). Belief in manifestation of God in marital life and religious coping significantly predict marital satisfaction and religious coping had a significant role in mediating the relationship between manifestation of God in marital life and marital satisfaction.

The participants were required to respond to the Short Form Health Survey and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS – 21) in pre and posttest steps. Results showed that group cognitive–behavioral therapy had significant effect on the quality of life and health factors among patients with chronic pain.
