Emotions are central to all aspects of human experience and are an integral part of principals' jobs and lives. Due to the nature of their job, elementary and high school principals need to be aware of their own and others' emotions and manage their emotions. These observations suggest that the emotional aspect of leadership warrants further investigation. The present study aimed to validate the Principals' Emotions Inventory (Chen, 2020). The statistical population of the study was all elementary and high school principals in Mashhad who were engaged in management in the academic year 2020-2021. The sample size determined 450 people based on Cochran's formula. Participants were selected by the available sampling method. Principals' Emotions Inventory, after translation and validation, was distributed and completed electronically and in pencil and paper format among the research sample. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the validity of the structure and the alpha coefficient was used for reliability. The results confirmed the fit of the model and the structure of the internal relations of the items. The alpha coefficient for the Principals' Emotion Inventory was equal to 0.85 and for the factors of enjoyment (0.88), pride (0.96), frustration (0.86), anxiety (0.85), and hopelessness (0.89). The results showed that the principals' emotions inventory has acceptable psychometric properties and can be used as a valid instrument in the study of principal emotions.

For this purpose, 486 students, including 254 male and 232 female students were selected through simple clustering and random sampling from among all the elementary and high school students in Tehran. Participants responded to four questionnaires included; Bullying (Thornberg & Jangert, 2014), Moral disengagement (Thornberg & Jangert, 2014), Moral emotions (Thornberg et al, 2016), and a researcher-made questionnaire, Moral motivation. This study was conducted using a path analysis method with the help of spss22 and PLS-SEM software. hypotheses have been confirmed (P≤0/05), and it has been shown that moral motivation and moral Emotion both have a mediating role in the relationship between moral Disengagement and bullying.
