Settings and Design: In doing so, 50 prisoners were selected from among all 20-35-year-old male prisoners at YCP. Moreover, 50 people were selected from the nonprison community to match with the prisoner group. Subjects and Methods: In a causal-comparative study, both groups were matched and were evaluated using two questionnaires: demographic information and Cattell's 16-PF questionnaires. Statistical Analysis Used: The statistical method used to predict the distinguishing personality traits of the two groups, prisoners and nonprisoners, was discriminant analysis. Results: The results indicated that from among Cattell's 16 factors, only 7 factors in the two groups were discriminant and predicting crime: Conservative, sober, expedient, self-control, imaginative, reserved, and tough mindedness. Conclusions: According to the results, 16 main factors of personality have the ability to predict crime.

Method: In a causal comparative study, 32 patients with substance dependence and 31 addicts with a successful withdrawal attempt were selected via convenience sampling method and were matched together in terms of age, gender, marital status, education, and occupation. The participants responded to Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI) and a demographic questionnaire. Results: The results showed that the mean scores of the addicts with a successful withdrawal attempt were higher than those of the group of patients with substance dependence in terms of the differentiation of self and cognitive self-control.

Method: This research is a quasiexperimental study by which, from among 7-12 year old children referred to the Atiyeh Psychiatric Center, 30 children diagnosed with either Combined or predominantly Inattentive subtypes of ADHD (15 children in each subtype) underwent 30 sessions (3 sessions per week) of neurofeedback therapy. For assessing children's cognitive performance, the children in both treatment groups were administered before and after treatment with a time interval of 10 weeks, both the visual and auditory continuous performance tests (IVA). Patient diagnosis for assignment to either of two ADHD subtypes was carried out with the Conner's rating scale, a Clinical Interview Checklist, and Psychiatrist evaluation. Results: Neurofeedback training significantly increased all IVA subscales scores, with the exception of the Balance scale, in all subjects, regardless of treatment group (subtype). Results of MANOVA analysis indicated that the two subtypes did not differ in terms of effectiveness of neurofeedback training with the exception of the Readiness scale. Conclusion: The present findings supported the efficacy of Neurofeedback training in increasing children's scores on the IVA-CPS battery of tests, regardless of subtype classification. These findings are interpreted within recent theoretical and developments regarding the validity of subtypes and the usefulness of a dimensional approach.
