Objective: The purpose of this study is to propound the structural model of executive functions and extramarital relationship with the mediating role of marital commitment. Methods: The samples were selected by convenience sampling method. In experimental situation, for assessing the executive function of the participants did computerized exams, including Stroop test, Wisconsin test, Go-No-Go ...

with rapid economic development and industrialization, the construction industry continues to rank among the most hazardous industries in the world. therefore, construction safety is always a significant concern for both practitioners and researchers. the objective of this study was to create a structural modeling of components that influence the safety performance in construction projects.we f...

BACKGROUND Although youth are exposed to many forms of violence, most studies have been concentrated on only one type of violence exposure and focused on older adolescents or very young children. Little is known about direct and indirect effects of violent stressors on the health of African American adolescents in urban middle schools or the cumulative effect of multiple forms of exposures. O...

The aim of the present study was to examine the factorial validity of the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS; Thomas et al., 1999) among adolescent athletes using confirmatory factor analysis. The TOPS was designed to assess eight psychological strategies used in competition (i.e. activation, automaticity, emotional control, goal-setting, imagery, negative thinking, relaxation and self-talk,)...

conclusions our findings suggest the importance of high-risk behaviors in terms of etiological pathways, maintenance process and treatment interventions. results the results suggested that the model had good fit (root mean square of approximation = 0.07, comparative fit index = 0.95, normed fit index = 0.91, goodness of fit index =0.93) with the data. accordingly, the indirect effect of resilie...

background: the jefferson scale of attitude toward physician-nurse collaboration (jsapnc) has been used to measure the attitude regarding collaboration between nurses and physicians. the aim of this preliminary study was to test the reliability and validity of an arabic version of the questionnaire and adapt it for use in palestine. methods: forward-backward translation of guidelines provided i...

The variable Zagreb (v)M(2) index is introduced and applied to the structure-boiling point modeling of benzenoid hydrocarbons. The linear model obtained (the standard error of estimate for the fit model S(fit)=6.8 degrees C) is much better than the corresponding model based on the original Zagreb M2 index (S(fit)=16.4 degrees C). Surprisingly,the model based on the variable vertex-connectivity ...
