Abstract
The aim of the present study was to consider psychometric properties of Sympson's Hope Scale in a sample of Iranian university students. To do so, 457 students of Hamadan universities were selected through proportional stratified sampling method and were asked to complete Snyder's Hope Scale, Oxford Happiness scale, Hardiness Scale, Beck Hopelessness Inventory, Riff 's Psychological Well-being Scale along with Sympson's Hope Scale (changed a little). Cronbach's coefficient Alpha (0/95), split-half (0/84), convergent validity ( Hardiness, 0/36, Happiness, 0/58, Psychological Well-being, 0/43), divergent validity (Hopelessness, -0/18) were significant (p<0/01). Second order confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the five factors had high factor loadings on one latent factor and therefore six factors model was fitted with the data (AGFI=0/91, RMSEA=0/047, NFI=0/98). Results will be present in detail in the following.

Abstract
The aim of the this research was to present a causal model for explaining hope through using Structural Equation Modeling in a sample of Iranian University students. Therefore, a sample of 379 students were selected via multiple stage sampling method from Hamadan university and they responded to Sympson's Hope Scale, Sherer self-efficacy scale, adult attachment style scale, multidimensional perceived social support, life regard index (Meaningful life) and goal orientation questionnaire. Before fitting the basic model, psychometric properties of the tools were investigated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. In the designed model, attachment styles, Meaningful life and social support were considered as the exogenous latent variables (independent variables), self-efficacy and mastery goal orientation as the mediator latent variables, and hope as the endogenous latent variable (dependent variable). Results indicated that theoretical model was fit with the data. Also the results showed that the social support and Meaningful life were directly and indirectly, and secure attachment was directly in a significant relationship with the hope. Furthermore, avoidance attachment was directly in a significant relationship with the hope through self-efficacy mediator variable. All the variables proposed to explain the hope could explain 0.46 percent of its variance.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure, reliability and validity of Gender Identity/Gender Dysphoria Questionnaire in adolescent girls. Using multistage cluster sampling method, 400 female students aged 16-18 years old in Isfahan Secondary School were selected as the sample. Data were collected using Mental Health Questionnaire (Najjarian & Davoodi, 2001), Sexual Identity Questionnaire (Akefi, 2012) and Sexual Discontent and Sexual Identity Scale (Deogracias, 2007). Cronbach's alpha, test-retest reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and concurrent validity were used for data analysis. Reliability of test-retest and internal consistency were 0.93 and 0.92, respectively. The factor structure of gender dissatisfaction and gender identity scale was investigated using both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results of exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis and varimax rotation indicated that there were four factors in this scale that explained 63.44% of the total variance and the results of confirmatory factor analysis showed four factor model of There is a good fit. Correlation coefficients indicated that concurrent validity of gender dissatisfaction and gender identity scale with other instruments was desirable. The 27-item scale of gender identity/gender dysphoria has good validity.

Abstract
Home quarantine to manage COVID-19 has increased conflict between mothers and children. This study aimed to research the role of coronavirus anxiety factors and maternal childhood trauma in this conflict due to premenstrual stress. Thus, mothers and their children aged 7 to 12 years in Tehran participated in the study in December 2020. They completed the Premenstrual Rating Scale, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Drawing Family Test, and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale. The results showed that children often portrayed their conflict with the mother in drawing activities as separation from the mother. Emotional and physical abuse of the mother during childhood caused her child to draw significantly more distant from her mother. Another finding of the study showed that childhood emotional and physical abuse could predict premenstrual stress. On the other hand, the psychological dimension of coronavirus anxiety has also created premenstrual tensions. Premenstrual tensions have also been able to cause mother-child conflict. Interestingly, it was only premenstrual stress that was related to the child's position in the drawing space based on koppitz emotional indicators. Premenstrual tension syndrome seems to directly target the child's self-concept and move him away from being the centre of attention.

Abstract
Risky behavior among adolescents is a common problem requiring attention and preventive interventions. Numerous studies support the contribution of cognitive and emotional deficits in the tendency to high-risk behaviors. This study aimed to predict risk-taking behaviors through decision-making styles and difficulty in emotion regulation among female adolescents. For this purpose, 200 high school students (Mage = 15. 23, SD = 1. 00) were selected via a stratified random sampling method. Participants completed the Iranian Adolescence Risk-taking Scale (IARS), General Decision-Making Style (GDMS) questionnaire, and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Findings indicated that risky behaviors significantly correlated with difficulty in emotion regulation. In addition, high-risk behaviors demonstrated a positive correlation with spontaneous decision-making and a negative correlation with rational decision-making style. The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed the significant role of decision-making styles and difficulty in emotion regulation in predicting high-risk behaviors. Practical implications and future areas of study are discussed.
