Also, there is a significant correlation between physical symptoms, anxiety, and insomnia, on the one hand and the behavioral aspect of performance of prayers, on the other hand. These findings also show that there is a significant correlation between depression and cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of prayers, (p<0.01). Furthermore, a significant difference is found between male students and female students on depression scale and in the aspects of the three obligatory prayers.

Faezah Divband* / Mehraban Parsamehr**
Abstract
The present research aims at investigating the relationship of parents’ religiosity with high school boys’ violence. In this survey a questionnaire was submitied to 385 high school students from Yazd who were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling and asked to fill out this questionnaire.
The research findings show that there is a negative and significant relationship between the parents’ religiosity and their children’s violence, that is, the more religious the parents, the less violence. In the case of the degree of father’s religiosity, this correlation seems more significant. Therefore, promoting and strengthening parents’ religious beliefs can have an influential role in decreasing deviant behavior including violence.

Naser Aqa Babaii* / Nima Qorbani** / Mohammad Reza Khodabakhsh***
Abstract
The present research aims at comparing "transliminality" and consciousness processes which are rooted in the activities of frontal lobe taking into account the gender role, as well. So, 266 university students filled out questionnaires of self-cognition processes which included consciousness, cohesive self-cognition, and self-control. Data analysis shows that women have higher scores on "transliminality". Furthermore, the relationship between self-cognition processes is positive and strong, but the relation of subjects’ scores on "transliminality" scale with self-cognition processes is negative. According to these findings, "transliminality" - a kind of consciousness rooted in temporal lobe - has a reciprocity relation with self-cognition processes - which are forms of consciousness related to frontal lobe. Women’s higher scores on "transliminality" are ascribed to their higher spiritual tendencies.
Key words: consciousness, transliminality, self-cognition processes, psychology of religion, gender.
