THE EFFECT OF TYPE D- PERSONALITY ON PERSONALITY DISORDERS: CLUSTER C PERSONALITY
type: item
description: Abstract Type D personality leads the individuals to show resistance towards rehabilitation and wallow in depression and doubt. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Type D-Personality in increasing the level of personality disorder. In order to achieve the main objective, 165 undergraduate students from a public university in Baghdad, Iraq have been selected to respond to two sets of questionnaires namely Type D-Personality (TDP) by Denollet & Colleagues (2011), as well as the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) by Loranger (1994). The results showed that TDP has a significant effect on AVPD & DPD, whereas it has no significant effect on OCPD. Implications and limitations of the study were discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered. The danger of the TDP should be introduced as early as possible before young couples started to become students and get into university society.

The Level of Practice of Excellence Habits by Second-Cycle Students in Dhofar Governorate from Teachers’ Point of View Considering some Variables
type: item
description: The current research aims to assess the level of excellence habits practiced by second-cycle students in Dhofar Governorate from the teachers' perspective, considering various variables. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher employed the descriptive approach. The research sample included 54 science teachers from second-cycle schools. Data was collected using a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The findings indicated that the level of excellence habits practiced by second-cycle students in Dhofar Governorate, as perceived by teachers, scored an average of 3.2 out of 5 overall. The results revealed that there are statistically significant differences in responses in terms of gender in the total score and specific subcategories—mental flexibility, perseverance, determination, and decision-making—in favor of male teachers. Regarding the qualification variable, significant differences were found only in the mental flexibility category. Additionally, there are no statistically significant differences regarding years of experience in either the total score or any of the categories. The research recommended enhancing the science curriculum for the second cycle with activities and exercises that foster excellence habits among students, providing training for second-cycle science teachers on integrating these habits into their teaching, and redesigning the natural science teacher's guide to include practical activities and events related to the lessons that assist in the integration of excellence habits.

Construction of a Training Program According to the Deep Thinking Strategies for Biology Teachers and Its Effect on their Mind Wandering
type: item
description: The research aims to develop a training program for biology teachers according to deep thinking strategies and to identify the effect of the training program on their mental wandering. It was developed based on the systems approach in basic stages represented by inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback. It was applied to a sample of 32 biology teachers for the fourth scientific grade, affiliated with middle and secondary schools in the center of Mosul city/left side, within the General Directorate of Education of Nineveh Governorate/Iraq. The sample was distributed into two groups, an experimental group of (16) male and female teachers who underwent the training program, and a control group who did not undergo the training program of (16) male and female teachers. After conducting equivalence between the two groups and controlling for some non-experimental variables that could affect the integrity of the experimental design, the training program was applied to the experimental group for ten actual days. The research tool represented by the mental wandering scale was built according to the definition of Smallwood (2003), the developer of the concept of mental wandering within two dimensions: mental wandering within the task (positive) and mental wandering outside the task (negative). The number of items on the final scale reached 65 items. As for identifying the effect of the training program on the mental wandering of teachers, a null hypothesis was formulated for that. The results showed a decrease in negative mental wandering and an increase in positive mental wandering in the experimental group compared to the control group.
