  The present study aims at investigating psychometric properties of Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) among a sample of senior high school students and to determine its role in predicting their academic achievement. To this end 527 senior high school students in Karaj (city in Alborz Province) during the school year 2015-2016, were chosen using stratified proportional sampling and completed a questionnaire which consists of Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) and futurist present subscale. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that the structure of Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) after varimax rotation was clearly indicated the existence of four independent factors that is almost consistent with Husman and Shell (2008) classification of the items but second-order confirmatory factor analysis showed insignificant factorial load of extension component on future time perspective construct. Therefore, we can conclude that future time perspective of Iranian students only consist of three components: connection, value and speed. The results indicated acceptable reliability of FTPS. Regression analysis showed that these three factors significantly predict student's academic achievement. Manuscript profile

  The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric indicators of the university academic resilience questionnaire in a sample of Iranian students. In this study, 283 undergraduate students were selected by cluster random sampling and completed the academic resilience and academic self-efficacy questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the structure of the questionnaire. The results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the modified model has a favorable fit compared to the original model. In such a way that the fit indices are in the appropriate range. In addition, Cronbach's alpha were used to evaluate the reliability of the instrument using the internal consistency method. Accordingly, internal consistency in the whole sample for each of subscales indicates the optimal reliability of the tool. In addition, the convergence validity was confirmed by the academic self-efficacy questionnaire. Finally, the research findings revealed that the factor structure of the university academic resilience questionnaire has a good fit and can be used as a valid tool in measuring the dimensions of students' academic resilience.

  The aim of the current study was, development of psychometric Questionnaire Multiple Intelligences from Gardner (2002) in handball. First, by studying the literature in the field of handball and interviews with experts in the field, questions were designed that the best questions are selected from the initial questionnaire (188 items) was constructed. Specialists the face and content validity, of the questionnaire was sent to 10 motor behavior’s Specialists and handball’s experts that face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed (CVR= 0/99, CVI=0/89). Factor analysis based on structural equations was used for validation of structure of questionnaire and Cronbach alpha coefficient was used to assess internal consistency of questionnaire. Results showed four component model includes Bodily/ kinesthetic, visual/ spatial, mathematical / logical and emotional intelligence with 37 questions had acceptable fit index (RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.91), internal consistency were reported and verified also with using Cronbach’s alpha 0/90.

  The purpose of the present study was to investigate the Factor Structure and Psychometric Characteristics of Extramarital Affairs Proneness Scale in females. This research have done using mixed-method in two qualitative and quantitative sections. In the qualitative section of the research, expert interviews included 7 experts on family and Couples therapy were conducted using structured interviews and semi -structured interviews that led to the extraction of primary indicators.The method of research in the quantitative part was descriptive –correlation. The statistical population included married females in Urmia in 2017, and 1000 of these females were selected by available sampling. The tools of the present study were Extramarital Affairs Proneness Scale (EAPS) and Marital Happiness Scale (MHS). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data. Based on exploratory factor analysis, five factors were identified: Family Properties, media, Sexual behavior style, Personality Traits and cognitive. Overall, the extracted factors accounted for 51/56% of the total variance of the test. Content validity, Structural validity and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the validity. Fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis model, confirmed validity of this attitude scale. Its reliability through the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.88 obtained. Based on the findings Extramarital Affairs Proneness Scale is a valid and reliable tool and can be used in clinical and research situations. Manuscript profile

  Dysfunctional beliefs about illness and physical symptoms have been identified as risk factors for health anxiety. The Body and Health Cognitions Questionnaire (CABAH) is one of the most comprehensive tools for measuring health cognition. The aim of this study was to standardize Questionnaire 30 of this questionnaire in Iran. The number of samples in this study included 869 male and female students with health anxiety in Sanandaj Azad University, Kurdistan University and Khorramabad University of Medical Sciences who were selected by convenience sampling. Were evaluated. The validity of the questionnaire was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method and the construct validity was obtained by confirmatory factor analysis using Lizrel software. The Cronbach's alpha value of the whole questionnaire is 0.80, which indicates the appropriate internal consistency of the questionnaire. Also, the correlation between two parallel forms in the halving test for the CABAH questionnaire was 0.61, which is also acceptable. Therefore, in general, it can be said that the CABAH questionnaire has good reliability and can be used as a valid tool. Manuscript profile
