Path analysis by SPSS V.۱۸ and AMOS V.۲۳ software was used for data processing. Results: According to the results of path analysis, executive functions affect -۰.۳۷۱ and tolerance -۰.۲۵۷ on the quality of life (P=۰.۰۱), and in total, that can explain ۴۴% of the variance. Also, tolerance mediates the relationship between executive function and quality of life.
