With increasing organizational complexities, the best survey and survey practices have been challenged and survey research has evolved. Continuous listening refers to a survey plan that uses multiple surveys and plans more frequently than a single point in a biennial, annual, or shorter period to provide data. Following the flow of continuous listening in the organization, the focus of psychometrics specialists are directed to continuous survey or pulse surveys. The purpose of this research was to know the current and future status of employee surveys in public and private organizations and companies in Iran from the point of view of HR specialists of the organization. For this purpose, a survey was conducted for two months between July and September of 2022. The statistical population of this study was all public and private organizations and companies of Iran that had official activities in 2022. In order to obtain a representative sample, the purposeful stratified sampling method was used to collect the required data from companies and organizations of different sizes in different industries. The results show that improvements in all aspects of the pulse survey cycle, from design and deployment to reporting and analysis, and providing more timely and relevant data, have caused organizations to move away from their traditional survey approach and align with the growth of new technologies towards Pulse surveys are inclined. However, it appears that surveys of Iranian organizations and companies under study are evolving more slowly than the scientific resources and popular media want us to believe.

Compassionate love for Humanity is a relatively new concept, and significant research has been conducted over the past two decades. Despite the practical importance of Compassionate Love for Humanity (CLS-H-SF), no studies have yet been conducted on adolescents. Therefore, the main purpose of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the CLS-H-SF Scale in adolescents, which would be useful in various usages, especially in academic-career counseling for high school students. The sample of 479 adolescent student volunteers completed an online survey that included the CLS-H-SF Scale, the Persian version of the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Validity was evaluated through correlation of items with the total score and confirmatory factor analysis; reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha. The Compassionate Love for Humanity was positively correlated with positive affect, self-esteem, and life satisfaction and was negatively correlated with negative affect. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported a one-factor model, and the internal consistency was good. According to the overall findings, the Persian version of the Compassionate Love for Humanity in adolescents has appropriate psychometric properties and is a reliable, valid, and brief scale.

Abstract The aim of this study was to design and testing the educational motion graphics to improve components executive functions in children with learning disorders.The research design was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test with a control group and the study population was all students with learning disorders aged 7 to 11 years referred to treatment centers in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan and Qazvin.In order to select the sample, using available sampling, 18 students who volunteered to participate in the experiment were selected. Of these, 9 children in the experimental group and 9 children in the control group were randomly selected. Then, the motion graphics, the content of which was formed using scientific resources and its form with the help of specialized animation software, and was performed for the experimental group for10 ، 45-minute sessions.Subjects were assessed using the BRIEF Executive Function Questionnaire (2000) and the Lufi Perseverance Questionnaire (1987) as the pre-test and post-test. In the next step, the research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.The results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups ’ scores of the components (p> ./. 1) And training through motion graphics has been effective on executive functions (attention, response inhibition, planning, organizing, reminding, perseverance and effort) in children with learningdisorders. Considering the effectiveness of educational motion graphics on executive functions, it is suggested to use the capabilities of motion graphics in educating children with learning disorders.Keywords:Motion graphics, Executive functions, Learning disorders.

Acculturation is the process of social, psychological and cultural changes that result from the interaction of two cultures and at the same time adapting to the culture that dominates the society. This research was conducted with the purpose of constructing, factoring and validating the acculturation questionnaire in bilingual female students in Urmia city. The statistical population included bilingual female students of the 10th and 11th grades in the academic year of 1400-1401 in Urmia city. 300 students were selected by three-stage cluster random method and answered the acculturation questionnaire. Reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and validity was calculated using content validity and confirmatory factor analysis. According to the average extracted variance of AVE, 2 extracted factors could explain 51.66 percent of the variance of the acculturation questionnaire. The findings obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the x2/df index for the two-factor structure was equal to 1.94, and given that it was less than 5, it indicates the optimal fit of the model. And the second root of the mean square of the estimation error is equal to 0.05 and it is smaller than 0.08 and it indicates the good fit of the model. Reliability for the total acculturation score was0.89. Based on the results of the present research, a scale of acculturation with 15 items and two components of language and cultural identity was extracted, which can be appropriate to measure the level of acculturation of students.

Narcissism is a disorder that affects interpersonal relationships and experiences, cognition, inclinations, and emotions, and accurate and early diagnosis of this disorder is important for psychological interventions. Hence, several measurement tools have been developed for this purposeThe aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Sherman Short Form Factor narcissism scale (FFNI-SF). The sample consisted of 576 students of different educational levels of Allameh Tabataba’i, Tehran and Amirkabir Universities who completed FFNI-SF, Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI) and narcissistic personality Inventory (NPI). Data analysis was performed using psychometric indices such as internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent and construct validity. The results showed that the internal consistency index, Cronbach's alpha, was suitable for the whole questionnaire of 0.87 and for 15 subscales between 0.54 and 0.79. The test-retest reliability of the whole scale in three-week intervals was 0.88 and the test-retest coefficients of the test-retest subscales for 15 subscales were between 0.55 to 0.81, that was suitable. Also, the convergent validity of this questionnaire was significant due to the overall correlation coefficient of the score of this questionnaire with two questionnaires (PNI) and (NPI), respectively, equal to 0.52 and 0.53. The construct validity of this questionnaire, which was performed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), also showed a suitable and acceptable fitness of this questionnaire. In general, the results showed that this questionnaire has suitable validity and reliability. Therefore, the Iranian version of this FFNI-SF questionnaire can be used as a suitable tool by experts to assess narcissistic personality traits.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of educational games based on the multidimensional planning model on reducing anxiety and improving self-help skills of preschool learners. The current research method was semi-experimental. The statistical population included all children referred to preschools in the cities of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmed, of which 40 people (20 control group and 20 experimental group) were selected using cluster sampling method. Data collection tools were the Spence Children's Anxiety Inventory-Parent Version and the State University Self-Help Skills Scale (1992). SPSS software and covariance analysis were used for data analysis. The results showed that educational games based on the multidimensional planning model had a positive and significant effect on reducing anxiety components (fear of physical injuries, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder). Also, educational games based on the multidimensional planning model had a positive and significant effect on improving self-help skills. Therefore, according to the findings, it is suggested that various games with educational applications and based on multidimensional planning be designed by preschool planners
