Abstract: يعد العمل الارشادي الطلابي من الدعائم الرئيسية للمدرسة المعاصرة وقد اخذت مسؤولية التوجيه والارشاد الطلابي في الرقي والتطور لتراعي النمو السليم للطلاب, والارتقاء بالانماط السلوكية وتوجيهها بما يتلاءم مع قدرات وميول هؤلاء الطلاب , ولما كان مقاصد العمل الار | Students counselings one of the main supporting factors in modern schools. This kind of guidance is continuously developing to provide appropriate growth of students , to improve their behavioural patterns and to direct them according to their tendencies and abilities. Since counseling intends to invest and develop human abilities and capabilities,it is natural that guidance should be done only by those who are capable and according to the plans decided in advance and who are competent to carry out this specialized humanitarian duty.The most important characteristics of the educational counselor and outside the shool are : 1.The theoretical aspect represented by the mental epistemological side that makes the scientific background of the guide 2 : The skillful application reflected in the many basic skills that enrich personality and performance of the guide and benefit him professionally when interacting with the guide. Accordingly , the study aims at the following : 1. Designing a scale to measure the academic concept of the self to reveal the level of understanding it by students of psychological counselling in terms of the two variables of the second - fourth classes and sex as males and females. 2. Designing a training program for self - management.3. Designing a training program for the social skills.4. Investigating the effect of the two training programs of self - management and social skills and identifying which one of them is more effective on developing the academic concept of the self for the sample under study. Thus , the hypotheses of the study are the following : 1. There are no statistically significant differences in the means between the scores of students of the second year and those of the fourth year on the scale of the academic concept of the self.2. There are no statistically significant differences in the means of the scores of males and those of the females students in the second and fourth classes on the scale of the academic concept the self.3. There are no statistically significant differences between the pre - measurement and the post - measurement for the first4. experimental group ( self - management ) on the scale of the academic concept of the self.5. There are no statistically significant differences between the pre - measurement and post - measurement for the second experimental group ( social skills ) on the scale of the academic concept of the self.6. There are no statistically significant differences in the post - test between the first experimental group ( self - management ) and the control group on the scale of the academic concept of the self.7. There are no statistically significant differences in the post - test between the second experimental group ( social skills ) and the control group on the scale of the academic concept of the self. To verify the hypptheses of the study ,the researcher followed the experimental approach of the two independent variables : Self - management and Social skills and the other related variable of the academic concept of the self. The sample of the study included( 39) female students in Dept.of psychological counseling and Educational Guidance who were divided into three groups : two as experimental and the third was a control. The procedures of the study are the following : 1.Designing the scale of the academic concept of the self and providing the psychological features of validity and consistency to obtain the face validity of the scale, differentiation validity and the internal symmetryof the items. Consistency was obtained by Alpha Cronbach method and it was (0,739).The final model of the scale was applied on a sample of (180) male and female students of the 2nd and 4th classes in the Dept.2.Designing two training programs : one of self - management and the other was of social skills. The researcher depended on the model of (Kent 1993) after developing it. The two training programs were applied on the two experimental groups : participants in the first group were trained on the self - management where as participants of the second group were trained on the social skills.The researcher used many statistical techniques in (SPSS) and as appropriate to the aims and hypotheses of the study. The results revealed the following : 1.There no statistically significant differences in the variable of the learning class on the scale of the academic concept of the self for students of the second year and those of the fourth year in significance level of( 0,05).2. There no statistically significant differences among the students in the scale of the academic concept of the self in the variable of sex for the students of the fourth year in significance level of( 0,05). whereas there are statistically significant differences in the scale of the academic concept of the self the variable of sex for students of the second year.3. There are statistically significant differences between the second experimental group ( self - management ) and the control group on the scale of the academic concept of the self in favour of the first experimental group.4. There are statistically significant differences between the second experimental group ( social skills ) and the control group on the scale of the academic concept of the self in favour of the second experimental group.5. There are statistically significant differences between the pre - test and the post - test of the first experimental group on the scale of the academic concept of the self and in favour of the post - test.6. It is proved that the two programs are efficient in training , besides the results show that the second program ( social skills ) is better according to the results of the one - way Anova analysis. On the light of the results of this study, the researcher recommended the following : 1.It is necessary to involve students in the various activities that aim to increase their practical skills and develop the skills required for the profession of educational guide.2. It is necessary educate the students about the importance of realizing their academic competence in the specialization that they choose.3. It is necessary to open a training unit within the educational syllabi of psychological counseling and educational guidance.The researcher also suggests the following : 1. conducting a comparative study to investigate the relation of the academic concept of the self to the future views of the students towards the profession of the counselor.2. preparing a training portfolio for the social skills to develop the skills of the students of psychological counseling.3. preparing a training portfolio for using self - management to handle crises and stress of students of the university.4. conducting a study that reveals impact of training on the social skills in developing other variables that have not been studied in this research such as : A - behavior of social support. B - Management of relations with the others.C - Motivation of the academic achievement. D - psychological endurance and age flexibility.

Abstract: التفكير المركب للمرشد التربوي ليس (خيارا تربويا) فحسب، وانما هو ضرورة تربوية لاغنى عنها، وهدف لابد من تحقيقه، من اجل ان يستطيع مواكبة التطور، وحدوث النهضة الفكرية والثقافية، ومساعدة الطلبة في التقدم العلمي والثقافي، وسبب اهتمام الباحث بهذا المستوى من | Complex thinking for educational counselor is not an (educational choice) only, but rather it is an indispensible educational necessity and a goal that must be achieved so as to be able to keep abreast of development and intellectual and cultural renaissance, as well as helping students to achieve scientific and cultural progress through the directing them and treating their educational, social and psychological problems and problems of academic underachievement. The reason behind the researcher's interest in this type of thinking is the current situation in the Arab homeland in general and Iraq in particular, where difficulties and sudden changes are storming these countries. They are associated with low living income, continuous wars and changes in the aspects of life. These social circumstances contributed greatly in making violent cracks in the structure and harmony of the family. This resulted in deconstructing the unity of the family which impacted the accumulation of painful experiences that the individual passed by during the phases of his life, which hinders his mental growth that affects his professional life where he finds it difficult to; make right judgments, find solutions for the problems he faces, excel in the use of his capabilities and talents. It also leads to lose social and psychological harmony and accommodation, which reflects its impact on the quality of life. The quality of life is a dynamic concept because values and self - evaluations might change from time to time in response for the changes in the different fields of life. Achieving the quality of life absolutely is something not at hand in the life and nature of humans. The quality of life is something relative. Nowadays, it is, for all countries, a national goal and an aim that is targeted by economic, political, social and educational systems of the world. The quality of life, in Iraq and the Arab Homeland, has been highly affected by wars and terrorist acts which left many martyrs and widowed many women and orphaned many children. Absence of security, stability, reconstruction, health welfare and the widespread of unemployment and pollution in Iraq have negatively impacted the personality of Iraqi people. Out of all this, the problem of the research has come into existence. It can be confined by the following question : what is the relationship between complex thinking and the quality of life in educational counselors?Importance of the research : Thinking is the source of knowledge and knowledge is the source of modifying human behavior. That's what makes human behavior different from that of animals which never changes or develops. As much as human knowledge grows bigger his attitude towards things changes and ways of benefitting from this knowledge change as well. Complex thinking can be considered as individual's most appropriate behavior as he invests it to develop his mental skills. Solving the problems that he faces requires him to acquire the skills of complex thinking that enable him to untie contrast, find harmony and reveal vagueness. The scientific way of thinking leads to solve the problem appropriately. That's why many researches, studies and specialized programs tackled the topic of thinking in all its types : critical thinking, creative thinking and super cognitive thinking. These types of thinking have been the subject of investigation in teachers, students, university professors and official employees in comparison with educational counselors. Nedrom (2003) believes that educational counselors play a vital role in supporting students, helping them to identify clear academic goals, putting educational plans, helping students to mix and cope with the educational environment, finding professional preferences. Goals of the research : This study aims at : 1. Measuring the degree of complex thinking in the research sample.2. Measuring the degree of the quality of life in the research sample.3. Knowing if there are statistically significant differences between complex thinking and quality of life in the research sample. This study is confined to a limited sample of educational counselors from both sexes (males and females) in primary and secondary schools in (Basrah, Di - Qar, Missan and Almuthana) in the academic year 2015 - 2016. The final research sample have been selected randomly, it included (278) male and female counselors from (Basrah, Di - Qar, Missan and Almuthana).In order to achieve the goals of the current study, the researcher has built a scale to measure complex thinking following Grown (1999), where psychometric properties have been identified through finding both sides of validity, i.e. face and content of the scale. The discriminatory power has also been extracted by applying the scale on a sample of (250) male and female counselors for discrimination purposes. The reliability of the scale has been calculated by means of using the test - retest procedure, it was (0.92), while it was (0.84) by using Cronbach's Alpha method for complex thinking scale. The researcher adopted the world health organization's scale of (1998) for quality of life. The data have been statistically analyzed by means of using SPSS Data Analysis Software. The study has arrived at the following results : 1. There are statistically significant differences in both (complex thinking and quality of life) for the sample of the study in comparison with the hypothetical means of these two variables.2. There is a statistically significant relationship in the individuals of the sample of the study in general between (complex thinking and quality of life).In the light of the results of the current study, the researcher recommends the following : *. Paying attention to the programs and activities that actively contribute in developing the degree of complex thinking and quality of their lives. and its in educational counselors.

The sample of this study consists of 502 teachers selected randomly from 369 schools (private and public) in Basra. Concerning the theoretical framework of this research, the researcher exhibited a number of theories that explain sympathy, then the researcher exposed some studies written on this topic. The model adopted is made by Hoffman (1982) which sees sympathy as something related to the awareness of others' feelings, thoughts, his intentions, aims and self - evaluation. To accomplish the goals of this study, it is necessary to use a means of measuring sympathy. The researcher has constructed this measurement tool according to the scientific ways of making measurements. She gathered the points of measurements and showed them to a number of experts working in the field of psychological counseling and psychology. After getting acceptance for 45 items in, the researcher made this scale. After that, she get the discriminant validity for these items by getting the T - test. All these tests were perfect except for 10 items, and by getting SPSS through using two extreme groups, it is shown that all the items are consistent except 13 items. Thus, 31 items were obtained and thus the criterion was formed in its final state. In order to be sure about the reliability, it is measured by a number of ways such as half - split by suing the correlation factor between half - split reliability reaching (0.86) and correction by using Brown - Spearman's equation and measured via Cronbach's equation and the value of stability was (0.92). By using SPSS, the researcher has reached at the following results : 1. There are differences with statistical evidence between the sympathetic staff of teachers in both types of schools. 2. There are no statistical differences between the teachers towards their pupils in both types of schools. 3. There are no statistical differences between sympathy and gender. 4. There is a statistical relationship between sympathy and age of those teachers.5. There a statistical relation between sympathy and the period of service in teaching. 6. There are no statistical differences between sympathy and marital status. 7. There is a statistical relation between sympathy and the academic status towards the negativity. 8. There are no statistical differences between sympathy and the variant of social condition (married, single, widower, divorced).9. There are no evidential differences between sympathy and the social variant (private or public school). The researcher recommends the following : 1. Employing sympathy among male and female pupils via holding discussing sessions explaining the scope of their influence and their role in treating with the pupils and growing their sympathy. 2. Building schools for those who need special needs to make their teachers able to be sympathetic with them in correspondence with their individual needs. 3.

Abstract: تعد مرحلة المراهقة في جميع المجتمعات من اكثر المراحل تاثرا بالازمات والضغوط النفسية, كونها مرحلة الوعي والنضج ومرحلة التفاعل مع متطلبات العصر ومستجدات الحياة, ومن ضمن هذه المرحلة فئة طلبة المرحلة الاعدادية والتي تقع على عاتقهم مستقبلا قيادة معظم مفاصل ال | In all societies, adolescence is considered as a life stage mostly affected by troubles and psychological pressures since it is conceived as the stage of self - awareness and maturity as well as a stage of cooperation and concordance with the requirements and prerequisites of life. Students of preparatory schools are included in this stage for they are required to have the lead of the society and its different domains. Those students may face a lot of psychological troubles that will affect their lifestyle negatively especially at the level of communication and interaction. There are two realizations of egocentrism. First, some of them believe that they are the center of others' attentions. Second, others make stories about themselves reflecting their belief in unrealistic thoughts without discussing their truth values, these, in turn, affect their personalities causing some troubles. During adolescence, there appears a positive side which is the shaping of self identity, and negatively how personal roles become unstable or scattered. During this stage of life, some ask about their being and what s/he will be. Accordingly, the individual will face an inner conflict of identifying the self. Those who have this symptom are suffering from self - unawareness in that the individual feels lost, dependent, ignorant. Thus, psychologists find it necessary to investigate about this matter. Thus, the main objective of this study is to investigate the egocentrism and the trouble of students' identity of preparatory school. It also tries to recognize the relative differences between males and females as far as this matter is concerned. It also focuses on the educational field differences, whether pure sciences or human sciences. Further, the study aims at identifying the correlative relation between egocentrism and student' personality crisis.To attain the objectives of the study, an equal and random number of students in preparatory schools is selected from the center of Basra (400 male and female students) of both fields of study. AThe researcher chose two instruments of analysis. The first one is to measure egocentrism and its psycho - metric features are attested (explicit honesty and structural one), and stability of the test is done via testing and retesting. Thus, the correlative factor reaches (0.82) following Cronbach's Alpha. The stability value gets (0.78). The second tool of analysis is the measurement of personality or identity crisis, its psycho - metric features are attested and its measurement stability is done via testing and retesting. The correlative factor gets (0.81) following Cronbach's Alpha, and the stability value gets (0.80) using the appropriate statistical means to achieve the purpose of this study. The main results of this study are : 1) The specimen did show the phenomenon of egocentrism and this can be attributed to this phenomenon is temporary occurring at a particular stage of life such as during adolescence, and during the passage of time, egocentrism abates via the teenagers' cooperation and interactions.2) There is an extreme positive and correlative relation between egocentrism and identity crisis. The researcher has recommended that cooperation and interaction should be encouraged especially between the teenagers and their parents and also their teachers. The researcher has also suggested that students at the intermediate level, who are suffering from egocentrism and how their parents treat them, should be investigated.

Undoubtedly, internet network is the newest and most widely spread among all. In spite of its being most important and offering great services in the different fields of life, internet entices users to spend long hours surfing the websites in an abusive way which negatively impacts them. One of the problems that man suffers from nowadays is the existential frustration which is resulted from feelings of emptiness, boredom and uselessness that hit the man in the different aspects of life. The muchness of psychological pressures, crises that struck the man and the dullness of the environment that surrounds him have the greatest impact on man to live a life that is free of meaning and values. The problem of the study is summarized in the answer to the following question : Is there any relationship between internet addiction and existential frustration in adults? The study gains its importance from the variables of internet addiction and existential frustration, the target sample of adults which makes a large population of the society. The importance also comes from finding the relationship between the two variables; where internet addiction might not be a separate disorder but a result of the individual's suffering of frustration. The study aims at knowing the following : 1. The level of internet addiction in a sample of adults. 2. The level of existential frustration in a sample of adults.3. The differences in the level of internet addiction in adults according to the variables of (social type, professional status and age)4. The differences in the level of existential frustration in adults according to the variables of (social type, professional status and age)5. The relationship between internet addiction and existential frustration in a sample of adults.The sample of the study included adults who are officially employed in the governmental institutes of education, higher education, health as well as those who are unemployed but officially registered in the social welfare institutes in Almuthana governorate in the year (2016). The number of the research sample is (400) adults who were chosen in a stratified random way. In order to achieve the goals of the research, the researcher built two scales to measure internet addiction and existential frustration whose items were chosen by reviewing literature and previous studies. The procedure of building the items was done practically, starting with assigning the fields, conducting reliability and validity and analysis of the items. After collecting the data and having it statistically analyzed by means of using SPSS Data Analysis Software, the researcher reached at the following results : 1. The research sample does not suffer from internet addiction.2. The research sample suffers from existential frustration.3. The unemployed use the internet more than the employed.4. Adults between 21 - 39 use the internet more than others.5. The unemployed between 21 - 39 use the internet more than others.6. There are no statistically significant differences between males and females in using the internet.7. There are no statistically significant differences in existential frustration according to the variables of (social type, professional status and age).8. There exists a weak correlation between internet addiction and existential frustration. In the light of these results, the researcher has come up with the following recommendations : 1. The ministries of the government should hold seminars and workshops for their employees to warn them of the dangers of internet addiction. There should be coordination with the ministry of higher education to provide specialized lecturers in psychological health and psychological therapy. 2. Eradicating unemployment by finding suitable job opportunities for youths to secure them from its dangers, such as frustration. The researcher suggested the following two future studies and researches : 1. Conducting a study about the pressures of life and its relation with internet addiction.2. Conducting a study about future thoughts and its relation with existential frustration.

Abstract: استهدف البحث الحالي التعرف على : اثر اسلوب القصد المعاكس في خفض القلق الوجودي لدى عينة البحث من خلال اختبار الفرضيات الاتية : ا - توجد فروق ذات دلالة احصائية بين رتب درجات المجموعة التجريبية على الاختبار القبلي والبعدي.ب‌ - توجد فروق ذات دلالة احصائية بي | The current research addresses the identification of the impact of the opposite - intent approach at decreasing the existential anxiety of the research's sample by assessing the following hypothesis : A - There are differences of statistical indication among the ranks of the experimental group's marks concerning the pre and post test. B - There are differences of statistical indication among the ranks of the control group's marks concerning the pre and post exam.C - There are differences of statistical indication among the ranks of the experimental and control groups' marks concerning the pre and post test.In order to examine the research hypothesis, the researcher uses the experimental two - group design ( experimental group and control group for the pre and post test) to apply for the male old - age research community resident in Governmental Homes at Basra and Baghdad Provinces which number is (131) as per 15/02/2014. The research sample chosen consists of (100 old - age individuals) while the experiment sample consisting of (20 old - age individuals) who ranked marks higher than the hypothetical medium of the scale. Those last are distributed fairly into two groups (experimental group & control group). Equivalence between the two groups is made at some of variables such as (respondent grades on the existential anxiety scale, chronological age, length of residence period). The experimental group exposes to a counseling program in accordance with the opposite intent approach, while the control group does not receive any counseling program.For achieving the aim of the current research and testing its hypotheses, the following steps are made by the researcher : 1 - The construction of the existential anxiety scale of 42 items at five areas (Existential vacuum, the meaning of life, the meaning of death, the meaning of suffering, loss of social attribution). To verify the psychometric standards of the scale, it is important to verify the reliability of scale in terms of virtual reliability and the reliability of construction. As for stability measures, the researcher relies upon the re - test method as the reliability coefficient appears to be (0,83).2 - The construction of a counseling program on accordance with the opposite - intent approach, as the total program sessions are (14) counseling session presented as three sessions per week.In terms of the statistical procedures, a number of measures are employed including : ((Pearson correlation coefficient, two - independent - sample t - test, one - sample t - test, Mann Whitney test, and Wilcoxon test).Results of the current research show the following : 1 - There are differences of statistical indication between the average marks of individuals belonging to the experimental group in the pre and post tests at the existential anxiety scale.2 - There are no differences of statistical indication between the average marks of individuals belonging to the control group in the pre and post tests at the existential anxiety scale. 3 - There are differences of statistical indication between the average marks of individuals belonging to both experimental and control groups in the pre and post tests at the existential anxiety scale.In light of research results, a number of recommendations and suggestions emerges.Recommendations : 1 - Benefit of social researchers working in the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs from the program developed to reduce existential anxiety in this age group.2 - Benefit of the existential anxiety measurement means prepared by the researcher during the current research in order for using it for detecting existential anxiety at other age groups by educational counselors.3 - The continuous concern of old - age individuals by family and society for the huge experiences of this age group at various fields, which can be benefited of to the social service.Suggestions : 1 - Conducting a survey study to identify the level of existential anxiety of old - age individuals at the Governmental Old - age Homes of Iraq.2 - Conducting a survey study to identify the impact of opposite - intent approach on other variables like psychological alienation, affinity, and compassion. 3 - Conducting a study to reduce existential anxiety of old - age individuals resident at Governmental Homes by means of another approaches like self - sublimation or thinking - shift, and comparing their results with the results of current research

Research was conducted to a sample of Al Basra University undergraduates (males and females) according to specialization (i.e. scientific - human) for the academic year 2015 - 2016. For theoretical framework, it concentrated on the following two themes : 1 - Academic procrastination : concept, causing factors, and theories. 2 - Thinking styles : concept, kinds, and theories. Descriptive relational methodology was used to explore the relationship between academic procrastination and common thinking stylesacademic procrastination, and the development of thinking styles through including thinking skills in curricula. As complementary to research, suggestions were concluded for future study such as performing a similar study on a sample of undergraduates with low and high achievement levels. 1 - here were statistically significant differences at (0.05) between mean degrees of the sample according to gender, in favor of males. 2 - There were statistically significant differences at (0.05) between mean degrees of the sample according to specialization. 3 - There was an interaction between gender and specialization related to effects on academic procrastination. Other findings included : 1 - Research sample had more than hypothetical level of common thinking styles. 2 - There were statistically significant differences (at 0.05) between degrees of the sample according to gender in favor of males. 3 - There were no statistically significant differences (at 0.05) between degrees of the sample according to specialization. 4 - There was an interaction between gender and specialization in effects on the four common thinking styles.Moreover, it was found a significant correlation between academic procrastination and common think styles. Results are interpreted and discussed according to the adopted theory of each variable (academic procrastination and thinking styles). Additionally, the results were discussed in relation to literature. The researcher concluded some recommendations included : holding seminars and conferences to decrease academic procrastination and show its passive effects on undergraduates and all levels of society. Moreover, there should beFor procedures, the research was conducted to 800 undergraduates (i.e. 400 respondents as treatment and 400 undergraduates as control group), selected by random stratified method of University faculties.To achieve the goals, Academic Procrastination Scale (63 - items scale divided to behavioral, cognitive and emotional fields) was used; in addition to the translation and using Gregorc's Thinking Styles Scale (15 situations, with four choices per each situation; each respondents are free to choose 2 situations distributed to four fields : concrete sequential, concrete random, abstract random, and abstract sequential.
