The current study aimed to investigate the correlation between cognitive distortions and academic stress among intermediate school teachers before and during admitting work at Dilam region in Saudi Arabia. The sample comprised of 120 females, with 63 trainee students from Education College, fourth year, and 57 intermediate school teachers with various years of experience. The sample aged from 20 to 23 years for trainee students, and from 30 to 50 years for intermediate school teachers. Cognitive distortions Scale, (Qurashi, 2016) and the Academic Stress Scale (Hussain,2015) were used to assess the major variables of the study. The study adopted a descriptive design to test the correlation between variables. The results showed that teachers of the intermediate stage before and during admitting actual work have moderate cognitive distortions and academic stress level. Analysis of variance showed that no statistically significant difference in cognitive distortions attributed to specialization and that experience was not a significant factor. Futher, interaction between specialization and experience was not significant. Similarly, results implied that there were significant differences between specialization and experience on academic Stress. Also the results indicated that all coefficients were statistically significant. It showed the strong direct correlation between cognitive distortions and academic stress.

The present study attempts to analyze the relationship between the use of ICT on the one hand and the performance of master students (future primary school teachers) on the other hand. A sample of 400 master students from the teacher training colleges of seven (7) administrative regions of Niger (Tillabery, Niamey, Dosso, Maradi, Zinder, Tahoua and Agadez) was selected. Data were collected using a questionnaire and the government's logbook. It has been postulated that the use of ICT by masters’ students, outside normal class hours, improves performance, both in terms of the annual average of students and practical internship grades preparing them for the teaching profession. The results indicate that 92% of respondents say that ICT improves their academic performance. However, the statistical analysis does not show a significant difference between the performances of those who use ICT outside their normal hours and those who do not use them.

This study was conducted with the following objectives: 1) to determine the performance ratings of the secondary school teachers as evaluated by their administrators; 2) to establish the relationship between the performance ratings of the secondary school teachers as evaluated by their superiors and their teaching effectiveness as evaluated by their students; and 3) to determine whether or not there is a significant difference in the quality of teaching among the secondary teachers in the different public schools serving as respondents of the study. Spearman Rho Correlation Coefficient was used to establish the relationship between the secondary teachers' ratings in the RPAST and their teaching effectiveness. The study revealed that 1) the average performance efficiency ratings were 87.61, 82.40, and 65.71 for INHS, KNHS and TNHS, respectively, with descriptive equivalents of very satisfactory for INHS and KNHS and satisfactory for TNHS, 2) there was no correlation between the performance ratings of the secondary teachers and their teaching effectiveness as perceived by students because of the lower ratings from the students compared to the higher ratings given by the administrators to their teachers; and 3) there was a significant difference in the quality of teaching among the secondary teachers in the three public schools service as respondents of the study.

The study aimed to identify the relationship between parental upbringing, anxiety and aggressive behavior in a sample of students in the Intermediate stage in Al- Makhwah Governorate. To achieve the study objectives, the researcher used the descriptive approach with its correlation form. The study relied on three tools: the parental upbringing scale (By Atwi, 2006) Anxiety (By: Al- Qarni, 1435 H), and the measure of aggressive behavior (By: Zahrani, 1436 H), The study population was composed from Intermediate school students in Al- Mahwah Governorate which was (3259) student, while the sample was randomly selected. The number of students was 327. The study found that: the most preferred method of parenting in (father's form) were the authoritarian pattern, followed by the pattern of neglect and finally the democratic pattern, while the most favored in (mother's form) were the democratic pattern followed by the authoritarian pattern, and finally the pattern of neglect. Also, the results showed that there was a statistically significant correlative relationship at (α 0.05)between the dimensions of the parenting scale and the anxiety scale except after the democratic pattern in (father's form), also there was a statistically significant relation at (α 0.05)between the dominant pattern and all areas of the anxiety scale except the mental side (mother's form), There was a statistically significant relationship at (α 0.05)between the pattern of neglect in (father and mother form) and the domains of the anxiety scale except Cognitive and mental side, The results showed that there was a statistically significant correlation at (α 0.05)between the absolute pattern of the parenting method and the aggressive behavior measure (father / mother). The study recommended focusing on the use of the father and mother for guidance and guidance in dealing with children, using the pattern of democratic treatment and engaging in meaningful discussions with them about their concerns.

Participant information form, parental stress scale and cyberchondria scale were used in the study. Data were collected through online surveys between July 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020.FindingsIn the study, when the scores obtained from the Parental Stress Scale and the Cyberchondria Scale were compared with the demographic characteristics, a significant difference was found between gender, age, marital status, education level, economic status, number of children and presence of chronic diseases (p < 0.05). It was determined that there is a significant difference between the responses of the parents regarding the pandemic process and the Parental Stress Scale and the Cyberchondria Scale (p < 0.05). A positive significant correlation was found between the Parental Stress Scale and the total and subdimensions of the Cyberchondria Scale (p < 0.05).Research limitations/implicationsThe research was carried out with only parents with children between the ages of 6 and 15, but it reveals the stress and cyberchondria of the parents during the pandemic.Originality/valueThe results obtained reflect the factors affecting the stress and cyberchondria levels experienced by parents during the pandemic process. Also, as the stress of the parent's increases, it has seen that the level of cyberchondria increases in parallel.

Objective To evaluate the perceived stress, life events, fatigue and temperament profile in patients with psoriasis and to investigate the relationship between these factors. Methods This cross-sectional study included patients with psoriasis and healthy control subjects. The two groups were compared regarding the number of life events, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue scores. The Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire was used to evaluate the personality traits among the two groups. Results A total of 75 patients with psoriasis (mean ± SD age, 44.94 ± 13.62 years) and 75 healthy controls (mean ± SD age, 41.10 ± 8.89 years) were included in the study. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the presence of life events, PSS score, fatigue and temperament profiles. Patients with psoriasis with depressive, cyclothymic and anxious temperament profiles were found to have higher PSS scores. In the psoriasis group, the PSS scores were positively correlated with the number of life events. Conclusions Stress and life events were found to be correlated with psoriasis. In the patients with psoriasis, depressive, cyclothymic and anxious temperament profiles seemed to be associated with higher perceived stress.
