In this study some neuropsychological functioning of 10 patients with continuous schizophernia, and 19 of their healthy siblings (7 females and 12 males) were compared with the functioning of 24 normal control subjects (10 females and 14 males). The normal and sibiling groups were matched for agem gender, IQ, education, and handedness. The functions evaluated were abstract reasoning, motor ability, verbal memory, short-term memory, mental control, and visual memory which were assessed by similarities subtest of WAIS-R, Vigorimeter, Paired- Associate Vocabulary and Mental Control subtest of WMS, Digit Span and Digit Symbol of WAIS-R, and Benton Visual Retention test (BVRT), respecvively.

To achieve the above objectieves, it was decided to include all of the hospital mamagers (n=79) from Fars and Khozestan provinces in Iran in the study. However only 53 of them agreed to participate and complete the required questionnaires. The fingins revealted that 58% of the mamagers experienced high levels of stress. The rates were 51% and 70% for Fars and Khozestan provinces, respectively. When they were separated according to the type of hospital they managed, i.e. public or private, the percentages were 11.1% and 68.2% respectively. The findings revealed that the ten following factors were the top ranking sources of stress for the mamagers: 1- inflation and high cost of living. 20 Physical condition of working environment, fatigue and work. Related accidents 3- Competitors' success. 4- Difficult to deal with personnel at work. 5- Difficulty of job. 6- Having great responsibility for recovery of patients. 7- Number of tasks that need to be done simulaneously. 8- Shortage of recreational facilities. 9- Low salary. 10- Negative attitude of the community.

However, we have little knowledge of the neurological processes of stress. During the past decade studies have shown that in addition to the genetic factors, stress palys a major role in mental and psychosomatic diseases. Severe, chronic and uncontrolled stresses cause some changes in monoaminergic system, and through neural peptides cause changes in the plasticity of these systems. It is necessary to study the effects of other factors such as genetic, culture and geographic in this brain process as well.The present study aimed to investigate the role of religious beliefs on definition and tolerance of stressful life event. Subjects were 100 volunteer (50 in each group) males with an age range of 12-25 from Iran and other countries who were selected randomly.
