The research method was an applied one in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational one in terms of nature. The statistical population included all 180 sixth grade elementary students of Marvdasht city who were selected to determine the sample size by random sampling of multi-stage clusters.

The collected data were analyzed at two levels (descriptive statistics and inferential statistics). At the level of descriptive statistics, the mean and standard deviation were used, and at the level of inferential statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient significance test and multiple regression analysis were used through simultaneous and Baren-Keny hierarchical ways.
