Shopping addiction is an uncontrollable need that forces a person to go shopping for temporary relief from psychological distress and depression. In this regard, the present study was conducted to investigate the reliability and validity of the shopping addiction scale in the Iranian sample. This research was a descriptive-analytical study of evaluation type. The sample consisted of 500 women (404) and men (96) in Tehran in 2021 who were selected by the available sampling method and completed the shopping addiction scale, saving inventory, and psychological well-being scale. Psychometric properties of the shopping addiction scale were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis, divergent validity, concurrent validity, Pearson correlation, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient in R software version 4.1 at a significance level of 0.05. The seven-factor structure (Salience, Mood Modification, Conflict, Tolerance, Relapse, Withdrawal, and Problems) of the shopping addiction scale was evaluated and confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFI = 0.89, RMSEA = 0.07). In examining the concurrent and divergent criterion validity, the correlation of the online shopping addiction scale with the saving inventory was positive and significant. The relationship between shopping addiction and psychological well-being was also negative and significant. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total score of the in-person addiction scale was 0.96 and for its dimensions was 0.81 to 0.92. The findings indicate the structural validity and acceptable reliability of the shopping addiction scale, and the multidimensional structure of this scale can help to diagnose shopping addiction.

The aim of this study was to validate or determine the psychometric properties of the Reflection Function Questionnaire. The statistical population of this study included all students of Payam Noor universities in West Azerbaijan (Miandoab, Shahindej, Bukan, Urmia) and Tabriz who were studying in the academic year 2017-2018. Among them, 570 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling, and answered the 8-question Reflective Function Questionnaire (RFQ). The collected data was randomly divided into two equal parts (n=285) for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The results obtained from exploratory factor analysis with principal components and oblimin rotation showed a two-factor structure which were named certainty and uncertainty. The amount of eigenvalue for certainty and uncertainty were 2.04 and 1.39, respectively. Also, the first factor (certainty) and the second factor (uncertainty) explained 25.56 and 13.42 percent of the variance of scores. The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the bifactor structure (χ2=76.12, df=48, P=0.01; GFI=0.98; AGFI=0.96; CFI=0.98; RMSEA=0.03). Cronbach's alpha coefficients for factors were 0.78 and 0.76, respectively. In addition, the retest results for certainty and uncertainty factors were 0.76 and 0.73, respectively, and the composite reliability index for these two factors were 0.88 and 0.86, respectively. The results of Pearson's correlation to examine convergent validity with attachment styles and Emotion regulation difficulty showed that there is a significant relationship between these variables at the 0.01 level. Also, using the Fornell and Locker index, the discriminant validity of RFQ was confirmed. According to the obtained results, the validity and reliability of the Persian version of RFQ can be confirmed .

This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Compassion to Others Scale which was devel- oped under the title Compassion Scale (CS) by Pommier, Neff & Tóth-Király (2020). Participants included 278 adults (209 females and 69 males; mean age = 28.65, SD= 9.40) from Shiraz. They completed the questionnaires electronically. To check the validity, after a pilot study and doing backward translation, the Persian version of this scale was provided to the participants. The factor structure of the scale was examined by AMOS-22 software. The results confirmed that there are four factors in the Persian version. Also, factor loads and Fit Indices were desirable. Convergent validity was assessed by the correlation between the scores of this scale and the Short Form of the Self-Compassion Scale (Raes, Pommier, Neff & Van Gucht, 2011). The results showed a moderate correlation between the two constructs. The results of the internal con- sistency study by calculating the correlation of subscales with each other and the total score also indicated the construct validity. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient showed the scale (alpha= 0.82) and subscales (minimum alpha= 0.58) have acceptable reliability. A comparison of gender differences showed that women have higher scores in the kindness subscale. In general, according to the findings, it can be concluded that the Persian version of the Compassion Scale has psychometric adequacy and can be used in Iranian society.

The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of Young's Internet addiction test and its relationship with aggression among 20-30-year-old youth in Tehran. For this purpose, all of the 20-30 year-olds in Tehran who were living in one of Tehran's districts in 1394 participated in this study and424 people selected by available sampling method. For data collection, demographic questionnaire, Yang's Internet addiction and bass and perception aggression were used. For data analysis, internal consistency, exploratory, confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis were used by SPSS and AMOS software. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the whole test is 0.94 indicating the intrinsic consistency and expression of the excellent value of Internet addiction. To determine the factors, exploratory factor analysis was performed and finally, three factors were named as difficulty in control, social problems and control impairment. To determine the best model for data of this research, a confirmatory factor analysis was used and according to the fit indices it was concluded that the 3 factor extractive model of this research is better fitted with the data. Finally, according to the findings of this study, Young's Internet addiction test has good psychometric properties, but has no relation to aggression.

This study intended to construct and validate a wisdom questionnaire in Iran with regard to its dimensions, categories and components in the context. All above-20 Iranians comprised the population. Using random cluster sampling, 985 Iranians with different ethnic, gender, age and academic backgrounds were selected. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that a 6 dimensional structure of wisdom fits the data. The dimensions were Causal Factors (cognitive skills and abilities, emotional intelligence, and personality characteristics), Core Category (existential integrity, harmony and equilibrium), Context Conditions (religiousness, spirituality, self-excellence, ethics, reflection, and challenging experiences), Intervening Conditions (environmental factors, official and unofficial education system, and family), Strategies (wise reasoning, prosocial attitude and behaviors, wellbeing, consulting, guiding and leading others), and Consequences (human perfection and flourishing, common good and a more just world). Overall, wisdom can be defined as a unique, complex, and multifaceted feature encompassing dynamic integrity and balanced account of different components. To describe wisdom as being the best in all its dimensions makes it an unachievable-for-many ideal but if viewed as a continuum, then individuals’ wisdom can be seen as ranging from much/many to less/few of its dimensions. In fact, wisdom dimensions work in a synergic manner to promote it and its sum is greater than its parts.

This study was carried out with the aim of exploring the validity and reliability of the computer version of tasks for the inhibition component proportional to the Iranian population. In this investigation, three computer tasks based on Miyake and Friedman's theory of executive functions to assess inhibition were examined.

The anti-saccade task, Stroop task, and stop-signal task tests were the instruments employed in this survey. The current study is of the type of descriptive-analytical, which was conducted by quota sampling in the preliminary (pilot) stage on 100 people of four different ethnicities and languages and then on 406 normal individuals and 74 people with various clinical disorders in Kerman city (age range of 16 to 60 years). Face validity, content validity and discriminant validity were used to investigate the validity. Assessing the reliability of subscales was performed through internal consistency, test-retest, split-half correlation, and Spearman-Brown methods.

The subscales of anti-saccade, Stroop, and stop-signal tasks revealed excellent internal consistency and favorable reliability. These scales showed desirable face and content validity. The data achieved from the MANOVA analysis approach demonstrated a significant difference between the performance of normal individuals and people with different clinical disorders.

On the basis of the findings, this computer version of tasks has desirable reliability and validity to assess the inhibition component and can be employed as a valid instrument to measure the capability of inhibition in normal individuals and people with clinical disorders.

Emotional-social competence and emotional quotient questionnaires were completed by the participants. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire, two methods of Cronbach's alpha and Spearman-Brown; to determine its validity, content validity and construct validity of confirmatory factor analysis were used. The results showed that the correlation of emotional-social competence with emotional quotient subscales is significant and positive. The calculation of internal consistency for emotional-social competence in the present study also yielded an alpha of 0.85 and a Spearman-Brown of 0.8. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the 45-item form of the Emotional-Social Competence Questionnaire in Iranian graduate students has sufficient validity and reliability.

Inflexibility is an inappropriate response children with autism disorder to environmental changes. A tool with appropriate reliability and validity is needed to measure the behavioral inflexibility of different age groups of children with autism disorder.there is a research gap due to disagreement on the relationship between behavioral inflexibility and age. So, the question is whether the factor structure of the Lecavalier Behavioral Inflexibility Scale is invariant. In different age groups.

The present study aimed to investigate the validity and invariance of the factor structure of the Lecavalier Behavioral Inflexibility Scale in children with autism disorder aged 3-6 and 7-12 in Isfahan.

The research method was descriptive-survey and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population was children with autism disorder aged 3-12 in Isfahan, of whom 450 children were randomly selected, and the data obtained from 430 of them (230 for exploratory factor analysis and 200 for confirmatory factor analysis) were analyzed. The GARS Autism Symptoms Diagnostic Scale (GARS) (2012) with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89 and the Lecavalier Behavioral Inflexibility Scale (BIS) (2020) with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.97 were used.

Data were analyzed by Cronbach’s alpha, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The Behavioral Inflexibility Scale (CVR> 0.62 and CVI> 0.79) had acceptable internal consistency in the two age groups (α> 0.70). ∆x2 of the restricted and unrestricted models of the measurement residues were equal in different age groups [∆x2 (90)= 108.51, p= 0.089].

The Persian version of the Lecavalier Behavioral Inflexibility Scale has acceptable validity and reliability for both age groups, and its factor structure is invariant.
