Fatalism is believing in the impact of superhuman power or external forces like chance/luck in life. This research was conducted for a comparative study of fatalism among disabled and non-disabled people. In this research, a survey method was used. 200 people with physical disabilities, cerebral palsy (CP) and blindness and 200 non-disabled people from Yazd in 2018 were selected. Available quote sampling method was used to select disabled people and systematic cluster sampling was used to select non-disabled people. Data collection tools include the responsibility scale of Ahmadi Akhorme et.al (1392), the ability of Peterson and Seligman (2004), Weissman & Beck`s (1978) dysfunctional attitudes and researcher questioner made by fatalism. Data were analyzed in two independent groups by statistical mean difference, T-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and multivariate regression test. The average fatalism is 48.3 in disabled people and 45 in non-disabled people. The result of hypothesis showed that the measure of fatalism is higher in disabled people. In disabled people, there was a significant/meaningful relationship between fatalism and the studied variables such as education (with meaningful level, age, severity of disability, inefficient attitudes, empowerment and responsibility. In non-disabled people, there was a meaningful relationship between fatalism and inefficient attitude variables and empowerment, but there wasn’t any significant relationship between fatalism and other studied variables. The result of regression analysis showed that inefficient attitude variables and ability had the greatest effect on fatalism in disabled and non-disabled people and only people and only 16 percent of Variance explains fatalism.

Abstract This study investigated the effects of spiritual intelligence training on the resilience of women in female-headed households in Yazd. The population consists of female heads of households who were supported by the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation in 2016. Thirty women were randomly selected and then randomly divided into two equal groups, experimental and control. The data was collected using Connor & Davidson’s Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The experimental group received eight weekly sessions of spiritual intelligence training based on the package by Bowl (2004) and then both groups completed the post-test. Data analysis was done through an ANCOVA. The results indicated a significant increase in all components of resilience, namely personal strength, control and secure connections, at mean scores of subjects in the experimental groups on the post-test.

The statistical population was all students at Yazd University in 2014-2015. The sample (372 students) was selected through random convenience sampling. Data was collected through Prosocial Tendencies Measure Revised and social capital questionnaire which was developed by the researcher. Data was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient, T test and regression. The results showed that students' prosocial behaviors was more than average (M=78.4). The Pearson correlation coefficients of social capital dimensions (intimacy, monitoring, social participation, social norm, effectiveness, environmental trust, institutional trust) and students' prosocial behaviors, are statistically significant. Results also indicate that social norm, environmental trust, social participation, institutional trust and monitoring can explain up to 17 percent of the dependent variable.
