Abstract

Objective: There are many traumatic events (including natural disasters, physical, psychological and sexual abuse) that may befall children and there is clear evidence that such experiences can produce a plethora of negative psychological effects. Children’s exposure to such traumas has been associated with a wide variety of negative mental health outcomes, including anxiety and depression, post-traumatic stress and dissociation and anger and aggression. It seems that the impacts of traumatic events are significantly related to type and intensity of trauma.

Materials & Method: Through a systematized clustral sampling 3042 male and female students from junior high school who were participated in a survey study for investigating point prevalence of child abuse, completed Trauma Symptoms Checklist for Children-Alternate Version (TSCC-A) and Child Abuse Self-report Scale (CASRS). After recognition of abused children, they were compared based on trauma symptoms. TSCC-A is a self-report measure of post-traumatic distress and related psychological symptomatology in male and female children aged 8-16 years. It is useful in the evaluation of children who have experienced traumatic events, including physical and sexual assault, victimization by peers, major losses, the witnessing of violence done to others and natural disasters. TSCC-A makes no reference to sexual issues. CASRS is a self-report scale to assess child abuse and neglect with 38 items and four subscales (psychological abuse, neglect, physical and sexual abuse).

Results: Considering the type of traumatic experiences, the results showed that abused children significantly received higher scores in scales and subscales of TSCC-A than nonabused group. They specially reported more symptoms (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, anger and dissociation) comparing normal children.

Conclusion: It is concluded that the type and rate of traumatic event is related to intensity of symptomatology.

Abstract

Objective: Attitude modification is a known way in substance abuse prevention. in order to assessment of adolescents, attitude toward addiction, addict and drugs, and evaluation of their changes caused by preventive interventions , a scale was designed and its psychometric characteristics were evaluated.

Materials & Methods: This study performed as an analytical design into two stages: items supplementation and experimental performance. Eighty students (aged 11-16 years old) were studied. They were classified into criterion (38 students) and control (36 students) group on the basis of their or not usage of drugs.

Results: Comparison of two groups (criterion and control) who answered the scale indicated that 52 items had good validity. After evaluation of inter consistency of the scale, 43 items were remained which differentiated adolescent with positive or negative attitude toward addiction, in cut off point 95. At this point sensitivity and specificity were 93.1 and 96.3, respectively.

Abstract

Objective: One of the most common neurological disorders in pre-school children is neuropsychological disabilities. Disorders in performing perceptual motor movements (activities) are among the signs of this disorder in children. This study aimed to find out the effect of the selected physical activities on perceptual motor abilities in preschool children with neuropsychological disabilities.

Materials & Methods: This study was experimental research with pre-test, post -test and control group. The subjects of this study included all 5-6 year-old children of kindergartens and preschool centers of Babol, in 2013. To select the sample, 120 parents of these children filled up Conner neurological - psychological questionnaire and 30 children (via convenience sampling) who received higher score in psychological-neural Conner questionnaire and did not have a proper motor conditions were selected randomly for inclusion in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control group, each with 15 persons. The selected motor program in this research was Spark movement program that includes strengthening activities, sports and games for children. This program was administered on experimental group for 15 sessions (each session 45 minutes and for 35 days). The Oseretsky- Lincoln test was used for assessment of perceptual motor skills in children. The data were analyzed by Multivariate analysis of covariance.

Results: The results showed that the selected program was effective for improving perceptual motor skills of children with neuropsychological disabilities (P<0.05) however, only in the velocity motor components no significant difference was observed.

Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that sport and physical activities as an essential part of the daily program of these children can lead to the more useful results for these children.

Abstract

Objective Political behavior in organizations is influenced by the differences in perceptions and attitudes of the staff, nature of the action, or people's perception of reality. Such behavior stems from the perception and reaction to self-interest. Different studies have showed that this behavior is an inevitable part of any human activity. Staff when asked about political behavior in the workplace, Often it related to serve their behaviors and to consider as a phenomenon dirty that the personal goals at the expense of other researchers. Such behavior may be harmful to the objectives of the organization and can be considered as a threat to the organizational effectiveness and organizational performance. If employees feel good he has deceived organizational policies, Possible show negative reactions such as annoyance, frustration, anxiety and movement. Most researchers have argued the perception of policy of stressful and harmful and potential negative effects on a wide range of business and personal consequences. Although policies may be both positive as well as negative perceptions, due to the strength of contagion in the organization venice extremely negative consequences resulting from negative policies The present study was conducted to survey the relationship of perception of organizational politics with turnover intentions, job performance, and organization citizenship behavior considering the mediating role of organizational justice.
Methods & Materials This descriptive-analytic study consisted of a sample of 200 employees of the welfare organization and its assemblies in West Azarbaijan. Data were collected using standard questionnaires of Kacmar and Carlson’s Perception of Organizational Politics, Niehoff and Moorman’s Organizational Justice, Miller, Katerberg and Hulin’s Turnover Intentions, Williams and Anderson’s Job Performance, and Podsakoff et al.’s Organization Citizenship Behavior. Structural Equation Modeling was applied to evaluate the relationships between latent and measured variables in a conceptual model.
Results The results showed that the politic variables had a negative significant correlation with organizational justice (r=−0.37), job performance (r=−0.14), and organization citizenship behavior (r=−0.27). A significant positive correlation was observed between politic variables and turnover (r=−0.45). A significant positive correlation was also observed between justice and job performance and organizational citizenship behavior (r=0/12, r=0.11, p<0.01), whereas a negative significant correlation was evident with turnover intentions. The rate of pairwise correlation fluctuated from 0.11 to 0.45.
Conclusion We concluded that any increase in the perception of organizational politics is accompanied by an increase in the staffs’ turnover intention and a decrease in justice, job performance, and organizational citizenship behavior.
