Abstract
This paper aims to define Conscious Psychological Balance as an essential dimension of mental health. This type of Balance is a product of self-regulatory processes providing productivity and satisfaction. Self-regulatory processes such as resilience are based on cognitive, emotional and behavioral strengths, and should happen adequately within time and different contexts. The concept of Balance emphasizes justice implicitly. This definition is constructed by the comparison of the ideas of different pioneer thinkers in psychology and other disciplines. There are great similarities between the definitions of positive mental health and psychological balance on the subjective and functional aspects of mental health. However, Balance perspective draws attention to a holistic perspective on mental health and can contribute to prevent social problems by emphasizing justice.

Data were analyzed via analysis of variance.The results showed that the multi-sensory approach and sensory integration were effective in improving their dictation. In other words, the hypothesis was accepted with 95% confidence. On the contrary, the results of both tests showed there was no significant difference between improvement in accuracy and mirror dictation disorder.

Abstract
Existing classifications of temperament, characters, personality types and ways of behavior are the disputable issues of the present-day scientific world. The origins of the classifications rise from the ancient philosophy and medicine in China and India (VIII BCE), Greece (V BCE), Rome (II век AD), England and Germany (ХIХ), USA and Russia (ХХ). Tremendous amount of the classifications were worked out all over the world and not all of them withstood the test of time. The references to Hippocrates‟ and Claudius Galenus‟ classifications occur chiefly, which are tangential with regard to mentality and psychic setup and based on humoralism (humorism). Great empirical and experimental materials have been accumulated in scientific history without harmonious systematization in view of the absence of the integrated international system of classification that is the factor restraining the further development of typology. There were curious incidents during typology march. Fourier (Francois Mari Charles) described three hundred characters, for instance. Unfortunately, any ordinary person could not be able to remember all these descriptions. Since then, researches, finding and admission of the optimum types became the task of paramount importance for the scientists.

Abstract
Export is usually the first step toward internationalization. However, it is regarded as a difficult, complex and dynamic
process in an environment, sometimes, very competitive and turbulent. This competition requires that firms support a high
level of performance in order to ensure their growth and survival. Management is often considered as the major force behind
the beginning of development, sustenance and prosperity in exporting. Attitudes, perceptions and managerial characteristics
seem to play a significant influence on export performance of firms. Nevertheless, the literature is mainly characterized by a
lack of consensus and findings are conflicting. In this study, we classify the managerial determinants into skill-based and
attitudinal characteristics and try to link these concepts with export performance. Finally, we suggest a grid of the managerial
determinants having a significant impact on export performance. A critical examination of the existing works is required to
better understand the managerial determinants of the export performance and to suggest, through a simplification and
clarification of the different approaches and precepts, a new conceptual framework for future researches.
