Objective: The present study attempted to develop and validate the Family Relationships Questionnaire (FRQ) Based on Minuchin’s Structural Family Therapy (SFT). Methods: The study sample was comprised of 200 high school students; they were selected by cluster sampling method from Mazandaran, Sari City, Iran. The research instrument included a researcher-developed questionnaire, based on Minuchin’s SFT. Results: The exploratory factor analysis data have led to extracting 3 factors; normal boundary, enmeshment boundary, and disengaged boundary. Additionally, the obtained results suggested that the 3 elicited factors explained 62.28 variances of family relationships boundaries. Confirmatory factor analysis results revealed that elicited factors can also measure family relationships boundaries. Reliability analysis, distinctive, and convergent validity of the components of family relationship boundaries indicated that questions in assessing the components of family relationships boundaries are clear and defined. Reliability testing with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reported a score of above 0.60 and the structural reliability was measured to be above 0.70. In other words, all 3 components can define the FRQ constructs as well. For validation, we first calculated the scores of family relationships boundaries and categorized those in a frequency table. The results scores of T and Z values revealed that the scores above the mean value indicated that more participants were aware of their family relationship boundaries. Conclusion: The present research results suggested that this questionnaire has proper validity and reliability; thus, it is proper for assessing family relationship boundaries. Therefore, the collected results can help to assess family relationship boundaries and to develop proper strategies for treatment and future researches.

Eighty male students with low self-esteem and problem-solving skills impairments in physics were selected and randomly assigned to 3 study groups (one control group & two experimental groups) (n=20/ group). The experimental groups were trained in cognitive and metacognitive strategies. To collect the required data, the Cassidy and Lang's Problem-Solving Style Questionnaire and Coopersmith's (1967) Self-Esteem Inventory were used. The obtained data were analyzed by Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA).Results: The collected results suggested that the mean posttest scores of the students in the experimental groups were significantly higher in problem-solving skills and self-esteem, compared to the control group.Conclusion: The presented cognitive and metacognitive strategies training was impactful on problem-solving skills and self-esteem in the examined students.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting students' academic achievement based on Thames international test data.Methods: The method of this study is quantitative comparative. The statistical sample of this study consists of eighth-grade students from 57 countries who participated in the 2015 Thames International Test. The data set was analyzed using the fuzzy logic approach.Results: The necessary and sufficient individual conditions showed that the conditions of the relationship between home and school, school social atmosphere, students' attitudes, and educational activities in the classroom are each a necessary condition, and family background is a sufficient condition for achievement (academic achievement).Conclusion: In the causal and combined causes, among the many causal paths, only one causal path based on theoretical and experimental adequacy criteria (coverage and adaptation coefficient) was of theoretical and experimental importance was necessary. In this causal path, family background and the relationship between home and school in combination provided a sufficient turning point in the occurrence of the desired result (academic success).
