The aim of this study was to provide a structural model for explaining social problem solving skill in teachers based on organizational culture and religious orientation with the mediating role of intellectual property. The research method was of correlation type. The statistical population of the study was the teachers employed in the academic year 2017-2018 in two regions 1 and 6 of Tehran province. The statistical sample included 250 male and female teachers who were selected by the cluster random sampling method. For data collection, 4 questionnaires of social problem solving skill (De Zorilla et al., 2002), religious orientation (Bahrami, 2001), intellectual property questionnaire (Bonitz (1998), and organizational culture questionnaire with the Islamic approach of Attaran et al. (2017) were used. Data were collected using structural equation modeling (SEM) and analyzed at two levels of descriptive statistics and inferential level using AMOS and SPSS-22 software. The results showed that effective religious orientation predicts the adaptive skills of social problem solving in a positive and meaningful way and also intellectual property predicts adaptive skills of social problem solving in a positive and meaningful way in teachers. On the other hand, the findings indicated that intellectual property mediates the relationship between organizational culture and adaptive problem solving skills in a positive and meaningful way. But intellectual property does not significantly mediate the relationship between effective religious orientation and maladaptive social problem-solving skills. According to the research results, adaptive social problem solving skills of teachers are predicted based on organizational culture and religious orientation mediated by intellectual property.

Children with intellectual disabilities (IDs) show deficits in social information processing (SIP) that increased the risk of social maladjustment. As social inclusion is a major preoccupation for professionals and parents, it is important to know how foster SIP among these children, in order to support their understanding of social situations, their emotion regulation and social adjustment. The present study tested the efficacy of a new “SIP program for children”, considering specific strengths and weaknesses of these children. It also explored the potential causal contribution of SIP in elementary school children with ID to their emotion regulation, social adjustment and internalizing and externalizing behaviors. 30 children between 5 and 12 years with mild or moderate IDs, took part in a pre-test session involving measures on cognition and social problem solving. Teachers and/or parents completed questionnaires assessing children’s emotion regulation and social adjustment. Secondly, children were allocated to control or experimental groups. Experimental group participated in the “SIP program for children”. It was implemented by two trainers which used the specific material and technics described by the program during eight sessions to sub-groups of three children. After, all children took part in post-test sessions. Results showed significant improvement of social problem-solving abilities in children of experimental groups. After SIP training, they easily judged social behaviors and produced more complex justifications related to social consciousness and social rules, in comparison to the control group. Parents perceived children who had participated in the training as more socially adjusted and teachers described them as more integrated, autonomous and cooperative. These children were also perceived as displaying fewer internalizing problems.

Social problem-solving strategy accepted by society is the essential accomplishments in the development of pre-school children. However, until recent studies, social problem-solving strategies among pre-school children in Indonesia is still rarely conducted. This research examines the role of age, gender in children, and friends’ gender towards social problem-solving strategies. This research utilised a purposive sampling that voluntarily involved 162 children    4-6 years old. Those children were selected from an intact family consisting of a father, mother and children who lived together.    A hypothetical social situation dilemma was utilised to gather social problem-solving strategies data from the subjects.  The data were analysed with the use of cross-tabulation and chi-square test. Concerning the data analysis, the results reveal no significant difference in social problem-solving strategies when viewed in terms of age and gender of the children and friends’ gender. This suggests that children ages 4 to 6 years for boys and girls still have the same patterns of social behaviour dealing with similar gender and different ones.

Social support, stigma, and social problem solving may be mediators of the relationship between sign and symptom severity and depressive symptoms in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, no published studies have examined these individual variables as mediators in PLWH. This cross-sectional, correlational study of 150 PLWH examined whether social support, stigma, and social problem solving were mediators of the relationship between HIV-related sign and symptom severity and depressive symptoms. Participants completed self-report questionnaires during their visits at two HIV outpatient clinics in the Southeastern United States. Using multiple regression analyses as a part of mediation testing, social support, stigma, and social problem solving were found to be partial mediators of the relationship between sign and symptom severity and depressive symptoms, considered individually and as a set.
