A higher social anxiety rate is reported in adults who stutter (AWS) as opposed to those who do not stutter. Safety behaviors are a key factor in maintaining anxiety by reinforcing evidence related to destructive thoughts and lack of facilitating evidence related to constructive beliefs. The aim of this study was to translate and adopt the Persian version of Helgadottir questionnaire on safety behaviors in AWS and to determine its validity and reliability.

First, the original English questionnaire was translated into Persian language using the IQOLA method. Then, 17 speech and language pathologists and 5 AWS assessed the face validity of all items of the questionnaire using a 6-point Likert scale. Finally, 167 Persian-speaking AWS completed the questionnaire, and its construct validity was assessed, using exploratory factor analysis and internal consistency.

After translation and confirmation of face validity, the remaining 29 questions were categorized into 4 factors including general avoidance, practice and control, rehearsal, and choosing safe and easy people. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was found acceptable by obtaining a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89.

The results suggest that this questionnaire has suitable psychometric characteristics. Therefore, it could be used to assess safety behaviors of adults who stutter.

Safety performance is among the most critical challenges of organizations, especially those with hard and hazardous jobs. The current research aims to investigate the effects of cultural and organizational factors on the safety behaviors of electricians of Electricity Distribution Company in Guilan province.

Considering the research method, this research is a descriptive- correlational one, and regarding the objective, it is an applied study. The statistical population of the research includes electricians of an electricity distribution companies in Guilan province 212 out of them were selected using the random sampling method as the sample elements. The data gathering tool is a questionnaire that after confirmation of its validity and reliability was distributed among respondents. Next, the collected data were used to test the hypotheses using structural equation modeling and applying AMOS 8.54 software. The applied test for dealing with regression relationships is the T-test.

The results of data analysis show that all of the direct relationships in the research model are meaningful. In addition, management commitment has the highest effect on personnel safety behavior by the mediating role of safety supervision. The blame culture has the highest effect on personnel safety behavior by the mediating role of safety reporting. In addition, coordinated relationships have the highest effect on personnel safety behavior by the mediating role of team collaboration. Rcoefficient of the model also shows that the model’s variables could explain 43% of personnel’s safety behavior.

Coordinated relationships have the highest indirect effect on electricians’ safety behavior by the mediating role of team collaboration, so empowering team collaboration more than other variables will lead to an increase in safety behaviors.

Identifying the nature of social anxiety through its causative factors can provide valuable information for the health system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a structural model for creating and maintaining factors causing social anxiety disorder in students in a medical sciences university.

A descriptive-correlational study was performed in all students at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Online questionnaires were completed (n= 670), including social phobia inventory (SPIN), Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-3), Behavioral Activation/Inhibition Systems (BAS/BIS), Older Adult Social-Evaluative Situations Questionnaire (OASES), Social Phobia Safety Behaviors Scale (SPSBS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Mini-Social Thoughts and Beliefs Scale (Mini-STABS), and Self-Beliefs Related to Social Anxiety Scale (SBSA). Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling and Bootstrap method using AMOS software.

Fit indices showed that hypothetical research model has a good fit with the data. In the present model, positive significant relationships were found between social anxiety and the paths associated with behavioral inhibition, trust-abuse, defectiveness/shame, social isolation, unrelenting standards via mediators of social-evaluative situations, safety behaviors, emotion regulation, social thoughts and beliefs, and self-beliefs to social anxiety (P<0.0001). But, we observed no significant relationship between social anxiety and emotion regulation mediator path (P<0.0001).

Considering the role of etiology and maintenance factors in current model, it can be used in designing treatments for social anxiety and promoting the health of medical students.
