Aims: The general purpose of this study is to investigate the role of grit that directly or indirectly increases academic engagement and decreases academic procrastination. Methods: The present study was descriptive and of correlation and structural equations. The statistical population of the study included all non-profit high school male students in Hamadan city in the academic year 1398-99. Based on the two-stage cluster sampling method, 500 students were selected and completed Duckworth and Quinn's (2007) Grit scale, Reeve's (2013) academic engagement scale, Solomon & Rothblum's (1984) academic procrastination, and Elliot, Murayama's, and Pekrun's (2011) achievement goal questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the structural equation statistical method and Spss24 and AMOS-26 software. Results: The results showed that grit had a positive and significant effect on academic engagement with the mediating role of self-based and task-based development goals (β= 0.05, p<0.01). But grit did not have a negative and significant effect on academic procrastination with the mediating role of self-based and task-based achievement goals (β= 0.06, P= 0.68). Conclusion: Self-based and task-based competencies can increase behavioral, cognitional, emotional, and agentic engagement in grittier students. But these competencies can't play a significant role in reducing procrastination. 1045 Special Investigating the mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between autonomy supportive environmental and critical thinking in students chalmeh reza j Fouladchang Mahbubeh k Jowkar Bahram l Fazilat-Pour Masoud m j Educational Psychology Department, Education and Psychology Faculty, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. k Educational Psychology Department, Education and Psychology Faculty, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. l Educational Psychology Department, Education and Psychology Faculty, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. m Educational Psychology Department, Education and Psychology Faculty, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. 1 11 2021 20 107 1965 1978 24 11 2020 29 01 2021 Background: Critical thinking has been one of the most important concepts in recent years; But the identification of predictor variables in the form of a structural model and in the educational environment has not been studied. Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of mindfulness as a mediator in the relationship between autonomy supportive environment and critical thinking. Methods: The research method is correlation and modeling of structural equations. The population of this study included all high school students in Shiraz city in the academic year 2019-2020. 525 students (301 girls and 224 boys) were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling. Participants answered three questionnaires: autonomy supportive environmental scale (Assor and et al, 2002, Assor, 2012), Freiburg mindfulness questionnair (short form, Walach and et al, 2006), and California critical thinking test (Facione, 2013). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and AMOS software and fitness indicators. Results: The results showed that the proposed model has a good fit with data. Direct path coefficients indicated that the autonomy supportive environment was a significant predictor of mindfulness (P <0.001, β = 0.18) and critical thinking (P <0.001, β = 0.18). Mindfulness was also a significant predictor of critical thinking (P <0.001, β = 0.28). In addition, the results indicated that mindfulness was able to play a mediating role in the relationship between autonomy supportive environment and critical thinking. Conclusion: Environmental characteristics such as autonomy supportive environmental along with interpersonal factors such as mindfulness play an important role in students' critical thinking and it is necessary to pay attention to them in educational planning. 1028 Special Prediction of objective and subjective career success by career anchors among lawyers and jurists samiee fatemeh n n university of Isfahan Department of counselling, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan.

Aims: The aim of this research was to study the methodological content and statistical analysis of articles related to cognitive sciences. Methods: The articles were examined by content analysis method. The study population is all the articles related to the field of cognitive sciences that have been indexed in the ranking website of scientific journals in 2016 and the sampling method is purposeful. In order to classify the techniques and methods adopted from content analysis, a square matrix related to these techniques was provided to 7 experts in the field of cognitive science methodology and they were asked to rate their views on the similarity of each of these techniques and methods on a scale of 100 points. The mean score obtained from these matrices was entered into R software as similarity matrix with the aim of discovering clusters, The Fruchterman-Ringold algorithm was used to visualize the relationship between the different techniques. Results: Content analysis of articles and inclusion of related keywords in the coding sheet led to a list of statistical methods. The graph obtained from the network of conections between statistical techniques and methods with significant distances was drawn (p≤0.001). Conclusion: Close-up techniques in the resulting graph were examined in detail and finally the methods used to analyze cognitive data in 17 clusters were introduced, the main purpose of the techniques used in each cluster was determined and research on how to select these techniques was suggested. 1052 Special Effectiveness of cognitive behavioral counseling based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for psychological flexibility in drug-abusing mothers Hoseininezhad Nahid Alborzi Mahboubeh MamSharifi Peyman Department of Counseling, Faculty of Education and Psychology, AL Zahra University, Tehran, Iran Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Allameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran, Iran 1 11 2021 20 107 2011 2025 26 11 2020 29 01 2021 Background: Today, addiction is a very important threat to the health of the family system.
