Abstract
The present research examines the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and anxiety sensitivity with conscientiousness of lifeguards. This is a descriptive-correlational research and has been carried out by the field method. The statistical population of the research included all female lifeguards in the east of the country and at different work levels (310 people). Next, according to the type of statistical population, the sample size was calculated using Morgan's table to the number of 150 people, and they completed the questionnaires of metacognitive beliefs, anxiety sensitivity and conscientiousness. Data were analyzed through Pearson correlation and multiple regression statistical tests simultaneously. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between metacognitive beliefs and anxiety sensitivity with conscientiousness (p≤0.05). Positive metacognitive beliefs have a positive and significant relationship with conscientiousness, while the relationship between negative metacognitive beliefs and anxiety sensitivity with conscientiousness is negative and significant. Since lifeguards should be at the peak of responsibility, knowing the issues that can negatively affect their conscientiousness can be a solution or suggestion to improve their performance. Therefore, according to the results of the research, it is suggested to discuss the psychological preparation of lifeguards, especially in the cognitive aspect. There should be more emphasis

Abstract
the purpose of the present study is to investigate the social loafing among female athletes of track and field and basketball in task oriented and ego oriented environments.
the current study is an applied research and semi experimental research. The participants are the top female athletes who volunteered in track and field and basketball and have been chosen considering the entrance criterion of the research. 24 of the participants (12 basketball players and 12 runners) were aged from 18 to 25.
the results indicated that there is a significant relationship between social loafing in the task-oriented and ego-oriented environments. According to the mean differences, the athletes regardless of their field, had a better performance in ego-centered environment rather than the task-oriented one.
the results pointed out the participants had more performance in a task-oriented environment rather than an ego-oriented one. The kind of environment was more significant rather than the kind of sport in social loafing. Therefore, regardless of the sports fields, there need to be some consideration in order to create a more applicable environment where the team morals and team association in a way to do the activities, have a high priority and results in reducing the ego-orientation.
