- Although in the literature of the study the concepts of health and disease have been considered deeply dependent on each other, it seems that to differentiate them, indexes are needed which make clear both similar cultural characteristics and different cultural characteristics. In this study, an attempt was made to provide a new description of the classification of the mental health and disease and to investigate the role of different feelings in differentiating health from disease in Iranian collectivistic culture and Swedish individualistic culture. In this study, of a group of Iranian students (n=296) and of a group of Swedish students (n=310), a sample of students were selected. Results of the study showed that in the Iranian society there was a relationship between the mental health and balance affect while in the Swedish society there was a more significant relationship between the mental health and positive affect. It seems that in the typology of healthy and sick people there are four flourishing, languishing, trouble and symptomatic groups and that the positive and balance affects can differentiate these groups.

- Despite its heavy dependency on conventional fuels, Iran is imposed to move towards renewable energyre sources due to a variety of reasons including energy conservation and environmental challenges. Although the residential sector has been in the foci, research indicates that Iranian households are not welcoming this change, therefore this study examines the acceptance intention among householders. In doing so, the study addresses the following questions: first, to what extent householders are ready to shift from conventional energy to renewables? and second, what can be the underpinning factors of such a transition? To follow these questions a theoretical model inspired by the modified framework of the Technology Acceptance Model, Social Acceptance Theory, and Diffusion of Innovation Theory has been developed. Data was collected from 462 rural inhabitants of Mazandaran province in 2019, who had not installed solar panels at the research time. Results show that only 19 percent of households intend to instal solar panels in the near future while 36 percent indicate no intention. Standardized regression weights demonstrate that the strongest total effect on the main dependent variable relates to the perceived ease of use. Overall, the model explains 19% of the variances of the dependent variable.

- Introduction:The process of recalling not only receives influence from the memory strength and learning, but also affected by the study and testing circumstances and the interaction of both .Thisresearch investigated the effects of time pressure and changes in tasks’sequence on free recall.Methods:166 students were randomly selected using the multiple-stage sampling and were enrolled in our experiments. Four designed experiments were carried out to assessthe effects of time pressure to rehears the words on recall. Likewise, to examine the effects of test priority, first group learned each word via the elaborative rehearsal method, andthe maintenance rehearsalin the future task. The other group accomplished the same tasks followinga change in tasks’ sequence. Other experimentswere implemented using the same method for the verbal and action memory tasks.Results:Our results showed that access to the products of elaborative rehearsal is more compromised by time pressure than the maintenance rehearsal. Recalled words rehearsed viamaintenance were significantly more in number when implemented as first task. Meanwhile, the superiority of action memory over verbal memory in all experiments was noted.Conclusions:Despite the fact that elaborative rehearsal is known to be a more efficacious learning strategy, since this method needs higher levels of mental and time resources, its efficacy is much decreased under time pressure. Novelty factor affects the maintenance rehearsal more than other methods as this strategy needs less data processing. Finally, the rich encoding in action memory which is resulted from a higher physical and sensory experience appears to improve the free recall.

- Objective: The aim of the present research is to analyze the role of memory self-efficacy on the function of episodic and semantic memory among malem and female students.Method: A sample comprising 16 female and 16 male psychology undergraduate students from Tarbyat Moalem University was selected using cluster sampling from among six groups of psychology, educational technology, curriculum planning, counseling and guidance, educational basis, and educational administration. Episodic memory was examined using test of recalling high and low frequency words as well as famous and non-famous images. Semantic memory was evaluated using mobility and classification vocabulary tests. A 2 X 2 factor design (two genders and two self-efficacy levels) was used.Results: ANOVA results showed a significant difference in episodic memory between students’ high and low self-efficacy. In other words, higher memory self-efficacy leads to a better function of episodic memory. There is no significant difference in semantic memory between students with high and low self-efficacy. Conclusion: The interaction of gender and self-efficacy factors had no significant effects on the function of semantic and episodic memory.

- Introduction:This study examined the moderating effect of cultural contexts in the relationship between gender and academic stress among male and female Iranian and Swedish university students.Method:The Academic Stress Questionnaire (ASQ) was administered to 212 students (112 Iranian (32 male and 78 female) and 100 Swedish (29 male and 71 female)). Linear Regression analysis was used for data analysis.Results:The results of regression analysis indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between gender and academic stress among Iranian and Swedish students. Results also indicated that the relationship between gender and academic stress was not moderated by cultural context. However, gender was found to be a strong predictor for academic stress for Iranian students in comparison with Swedish ones.Conclusion:Although these findings showed that the relationship between gender and academic stress was not oderated by cultural context, obvious differences in predictive values of standardized regression of academic stress by gender among Iranian and Swedish students support theoretical assumptions underlying transactional theory of stress and expectation theory of sexual role.

- Aim and Background: Evaluation of cognition is fundamental for every comprehensive epilepsy program. This study conducted to assess memory state of patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy before decision for epilepsy surgery.Methods and Materials: In a case-control study, 20 patients with right temporal lobe epilepsy and 20 patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy were selected using convenience sampling method in Kashani hospital, Iran and 20 normal people as a control group were randomly selected. Memory state was evaluated using the Wechsler Memory Scale. The results were analyzed using multivariate analysis.Findings: In mental control, logical memory, digit span and visual memory subscales, significant differences were obtained between right-left temporal lobe epilepsy and control group (P < 0.001). However there was not a statistically difference between right lobe temporal epilepsy and left temporal lobe epilepsy in 7 subscales.Conclusions: Our findings indicated the ability of Wechsler Memory Scale to differentiate temporal lobe epilepsy.
