Thus, the purpose of present study was to investigate the relationship between competive perfectionism and mental toughness in elite martial arts. Present research method was correlational. Statistic population was included all of martial arts that were in the national team camps and 132 athletes selected based on random sampling, and completed the Scals of mental toughness sheard et al (2009) and perfectionism Stoeber et al (2007). The data was analyzed by Pearson correlation, multiple regressions and anova. Pearson correlation showed a significant relationship between perfectionism and mental toughness. Regression analysis showed that positive and negative perfectionism dimensions predict 34 percent of mental toughness variance altogether. Also results of Anova test showed that men relative to femail had significantly higher mental toughness and more positive perfectionism
(P≤ 0.01). Generally, results showed that perfectionism dimensions can be a useful procedure for martial arts talent identification and also to founding mental toughness educational programs for them. The results of Pearson correlation showed that there is a significant positive and negative correlation between the that positive and negative perfectionism and mental toughness (p<0.01).
This means that athletes who have the positive perfectionism have a higher level of mental toughness and athletes who have the negative perfectionism have a lower level of mental toughness.

Abstract

Background: Beliefs about drug cravings hold considerable sway in the realm of substance abuse and addiction. Delving into the contributing factors influencing these beliefs, including self-efficacy and psychological distress, offers valuable insights into the perpetuation and establishment of addiction among men engaged in methamphetamine abuse.
Aims: The primary objective of this study was to forecast the correlation between self-efficacy, psychological distress, and drug craving beliefs among men abusing methamphetamine. The specific emphasis was placed on investigating the intermediary function of self-efficacy and psychological distress within this correlation.
Methods: The research employed a descriptive-correlational approach utilizing structural equation modeling as the methodology. The statistical population encompassed men between the ages of 20 and 65 who engaged in methamphetamine abuse during the period of 2022 to 2023. Utilizing specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 262 individuals were chosen through convenience sampling. These participants completed questionnaires evaluating craving beliefs, depression, anxiety-stress, and general self-efficacy. Data analysis was conducted employing the structural equation method and SMARTPLS software.
Results: The examination of fitness indicators against the proposed causal model validated the suitability of the established model. Findings from the direct standard regression coefficients indicated that psychological distress correlates with heightened drug use craving beliefs. Additionally, psychological distress exhibited a direct and adverse impact on self-efficacy, while self-efficacy demonstrated a direct and negative influence on craving beliefs. Furthermore, self-efficacy was identified as a mediator in the connection between psychological distress and craving beliefs.
Conclusion: Psychological distress diminishes self-efficacy, contributing to persistent cravings for ongoing substance abuse over the long term.

Abstract

Background: The phenomenon of child and youth labor is a multifaceted challenge encompassing biological, psychological, and social dimensions, and it has emerged as a significant concern in various countries, including Iran. However, the predominant research has often approached this issue from a social work perspective, focusing on description and pathology. There has been a notable absence of studies addressing the empowerment of this demographic to navigate and overcome challenging environmental circumstances. Given the expanding population and the substantial personal and social challenges faced by working children and adolescents, it becomes apparent that conducting research in this area could contribute to the empowerment of these individuals.
Aims: The present study aimed to present the model of human as an agent based on the lived experiences of youth labore.
Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach, specifically utilizing the grounded theory method. The research focused on purposefully selecting 15 successful youth laborers residing in Tehran in 2023. Participants were chosen through referrals from Toloe Bi neshanha Center, Mehr and Mah Institute, and Al Yassin Assistance Clinic. After obtaining their consent and willingness to participate in the research, they became part of the study. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Strauss and Corbin method.
Results: The analysis of the interview data was generally categorized into seven axes: internal strength, chaotic environmental conditions, support system, learning experiences, humanistic strategies, positive and active design of life, and comprehensive and integrated growth, and finally, the conceptual model of the human as an agent based on the codes was drawn.
Conclusion: The obtained results, in addition to increasing insight into the components of the human as an agent model and the factors behind its creation, can be used as a basis for further research and the design of educational and therapeutic programs aimed at improving the psychological capabilities of youth laborers.
