Background and Purpose: Due to the high rate of self-injury in adolescents in 2022 and its destructive effect, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dialectical behavior therapy on self-criticism and self-compassion of adolescents with a history of self-injury behaviors. Materials and Methods: The design of the present study is a single-subject experiment with several baselines. For this purpose, 3 female adolescents in Shiraz with a history of self-injury behaviors were selected by purposive sampling. Research tools included self-criticism questionnaires (FSCRS) of Gilbert et al., Neff Self-compassion questionnaires (SCS), and structured clinical interviews for personality disorders (SCID-5 PD). Each person was randomly assigned to the baseline stage over a period of two, three, or four weeks. They then received 16 sessions of treatment and then a follow-up after one month. Findings: Dialectical behavior therapy was effective in reducing self-criticism and increasing self-compassion in all three clients after treatment, but the stability of the treatment effect remained only for the first and second clients. Conclusion: It seems that the application of dialectical behavior therapy skills with the cooperation and support of parents can be associated with a decrease in self-criticism and increased self-compassion of female adolescents with a history of self-injury behaviors Manuscript profile

Satisfaction of psychological needs (Need for autonomy and Need for relatedness) has a direct and significant effect on student's academic enjoyment and agentic engagement (P<0.001) and academic enjoyment also has a positive and significant effect on students' agentic engagement (P<0.001). Satisfaction of psychological needs (relatedness) in relation to professors through academic enjoyment has an indirect and significant effect on agentic engagement (P<0.01). Therefore, the model has a good fit and it can be concluded that academic enjoyment has a mediating role in the relationship between the satisfaction of psychological needs in relation to professors and students' agentic engagement.

Visual-Motor skill is essential for human development and an important part of psychological evaluations and allows a person to have sufficient interaction with her environment. In order to measure this important skill, it is better to use an objective and standard tool. Since for each psychological assessment tool, it is necessary to check the psychometric properties. The aim of the current research is to investigate the psychometric properties of B.G.V.M.T (2) in students aged 6 to 12 years. The current research was applied in terms of objective and descriptive research method of correlation type. The statistical population of the present study included all primary school students in the 4 educational districts of Qom in the academic year 1400-1401, which were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling, 374 girls and 444 boys from 8 schools. For the reliability of the test, retesting and dividing methods were used. The reliability coefficient obtained from the retesting of the test in the copy and recall phases was 0.85 and 0.78, respectively, and the average reliability coefficient was 0.67. To measure the validity of the test from 3 methods[calculating the correlation coefficients between the test scores of B.G.T (2) and Andre Ray and the inclusive scoring system and Koppitz, comparing the performance of children with and without learning disorders] was used.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the level of difficulty of mathematical questions trigger the epistemic emotions (confusion, surprise, curiosity, enjoyment, anxiety, frustration and boredom) between students with mathematical disability (MLD) and high achievement (HA) during math problem-solving. The method of this study was causal comparative. The statistical population of this study are all students from the 5th and 6th grade in Shiraz, which according to our purpose was: 15 with math disability (5 girls and 10 boys), and 15 with high achievement (8 girls and 9 boys). The statistical method of this study was repeated measures ANOVA and MANOVA. The results showed that the level of difficulty of the questions increased the anxiety, frustration, and boredom of students with math disabilities compared to HA group while the surprise was decreased, but there was no significant difference in the excitement and curiosity between the two groups. These findings show that the difficulty of the questions is significant, but what is remarkable about the findings is the role of math disabilities in addition to the level of difficulty plays in inducing these emotions.
