        The purpose of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between death anxiety and general health. The method of this study was descriptive and in the framework of correlation of study of the path analysis. The population was all adolescents aged 14 to 18 year olds living in Iraqi-ISIS war refugee camps located in the Dibegh Erbil district of Kurdistan, Iraq in 2017, (520, N) and were selected by simple random sampling and 219 adolescents were selected. The participants responded to the Death Anxiety Scale (Templer, 1970), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) (Goldberg and Hiller, 1979), and Resilience Scale (Connor and Davidson 1979-1991). The data was analysed through a path analysis correlation. Results confirmed the negative relationship between EA and resilience, showing the favorable fit of the pattern of the relationship between death anxiety and general health anxiety and the mediating role of resilience among them. According to the results, due to resilience, death anxiety of adolescents affected by war can be reduced and steps can be taken in improving their general health. Manuscript profile

The following measures were given to them to complete a survey consisted of Assessment Human Agency Scale, Perception of Parenting Styles Questionnaire and Resilience Scale. The results of structural equation modeling showed that human agency mediated the relation between perception of parental style and resilience .Human agency with parental style perceived are predicted 63% of variance of resilience. Perception of paternal style and maternal style are predicted the 37% and 31% of variability of human agency. In general, when there was a consistency between mother and father parental style and this style is based on satisfaction of psychological basic needs, adolescence' human agency and resilience raised and increased.

        The main purpose of the present study was designing and applying a problem-solving tool in examining the effectiveness of teaching the scientific thinking in preschool children .The present study was a quasi-experimental research. The population of the study was comprised of children in preschool centers in the academic year of 2017-18 in Tehran. 8 preschool children (4 girls and 4 boys) were selected through purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed by repeated measures of variance analysis. The results showed that the tool designed for problem solving skill had an appropriate content validity (between 0.8 and 1), and the reliability of the tool was obtained by using the test-retest method (0.724). Also, the results of repeated measures of the variance analysis showed the scientific thinking training program had a significant effect on enhancing the problem solving skills of preschool children (p<0.05). Teaching scientific thinking provides the opportunity for preschool children to try using logic to discover the relationships between events and to engage in creative and scientific thinking.
