Designing an Initial Test on Patience with Sins

The present research aims at designing an initial test on patience with sins. In this research, in view of the parameters and signs identified in Quranic verses and traditions, a test with 44 items was designed. To discover the validity of the test content, Delphi Survey method was used; and to identify the primary reliability of the test, it was carried out on 106 subjects, and the reliability of the test was assessed through Cronbach’s Alpha as well as Spearman and Guttman’s split Coefficient. After carrying out the test, the internal consistency method was used (by calculating Spearman’s Correlation) to discover the construct validity of the test. The content validity of the test was confirmed by 8 experts. After experimental execution of the test, the primary validity of the test obtained through Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated to be 0.93, 0.93 through Spearman’s split-half, and 0.92 through Guttman’s split-half. To assess the construct validity of the test, the correlation of subscales with one another and with the whole scale, the correlation of each subscale with the total score, and the correlation of each item with the total score were calculated which then showed the desirable construct validity of the test.
