The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factor validity and reliability of the class structure goal questionnaire and its relationship with students' academic emotion. This questionnaire was developed by Midgley et al. (2000). For this purpose, 400 male and female students were selected randomly from Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad Province high schools. To test the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its validity. In line with the results of the research Midgley et al. (2000) present study showed that the questionnaire had acceptable internal consistency and Cronbach's alpha coefficients in its sub-scales ranged from 0.79 to 0.91. Also, the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis confirm that the structure of the questionnaire has an acceptable fit with the data and all the goodness indicators of fit are validated by the model. The results also showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the goal structure of mastery and the goal-oriented performanceapproach with positive emotions (enjoyment from class and hope in the classroom). The structure of mastery has a negative relationship with negative emotions (class boredom and anxiety in the class), while the relationship between the performance-approach goal structure and negative emotions has not been meaningful. In addition, the performance-avoidance goal structure has a negative relationship with negative emotions and has a negative relationship with positive emotions. Therefore, this questionnaire can be a useful tool for evaluating student perceptions of the class goal structure, and the goaloriented structure of the class influences the emotions of students.

In the present study with the aim of normalization and evaluation of intrinsic motivation psychometric properties of intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI) have been conducted. IMI have been performed on 1000 people of Tehran that have been selected by multilevel clustering sampling in 2015. The study based on psychometric, CTT and IRT have been performed. Total reliability of intrinsic motivation inventory ,Hierarchical confirmatory factor analysis of total evaluation indicators were respectively and model parameters estimation based on IRT indicated intrinsic motivation inventory validation and evaluation Indicators of the General Appropriateness of the Analytical Hierarchical Factor Analysis Model, RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, NFI, CFI were used. Estimation of IRT-based GRM model parameters reflects the structural validity of the internal motivation questionnaire. The reliability coefficient of the total internal motivation questionnaire was calculated to be 0.86 using Cronbach's alpha. Therefore, we proposed intrinsic motivation inventory as a valid tool in psychological and educational research based on our research finding.

The aim of this study was to investigate correlational relationship and draw the path analysis model of dark traits on moral identity and moral cognition. For this purpose, from the statistical population of the Bu Ali sina University students, 421 were selected by using multistage cluster sampling. Then dark triad traits, moral identity and moral cognition questionnaires were distributed among research participants to respond. Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and correlation indicators, path analysis and independent T test. Results indicated that there are a significant positive correlation between the machiavelism with moral identity and moral cognition (p<0.05). The negative correlation was obtined between psychopathic trait with moral identity and moral cognition (p<0.05). The path analysis also indicated the positive effect of machiavelism on moral identity and moral cognition, psychopathic trait have negative effect on moral identity and moral cognition. Results not showed any difrences in research variabes in both gender. Overal, results supported this hepotesies that dark traits leads to abnormal moral tendencies in persons with psychopathic tendencies.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the Academic Cheating Scale (ACS, Farnese, Tramontanob, Fida & Paciello, 2011) among university students. 200 university students (100 male and 100 female) completed the Academic Cheating Scale and the Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (AGQ-R, Elliot & Murayama, 2008). The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to compute the ACS's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Also, in order to examine the construct validity of the ACS, we computed correlations between different dimensions of AGQ-R with academic cheating. The results of confirmatory factor analysis based AMOS software showed that 2- factor structure of the unauthorized help and plagiarism in the Iranian sample had good fit with data. Correlational analyses between mastery and performance goals with academic cheating provided initial evidence for the ACS convergent validity. Internal consistency for the unauthorized help and plagiarism subscales was 0/90 and 0/85 respectively. In sum, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the ACS as an instrument to measure of academic cheating among Iranian university students.

Choosing a spouse is a new and decisive step for both men and women, so it should not be superficial, but careful attention and consultation and specific scrutiny are needed. The purpose of this study was to validate twelvecomponents of Samuel Gladding to measure of marriage risk taking questionnaire. The research design was descriptive-surveying. The statistical population of this study was 300 couples (150 women and 150 men) who were referred to the clinic in Tehran. The research tool was a twelvecomponent of Samuel Gladding to measure marriage risk taking questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha and its validity was assessed by exploratory factor analysis (using principal components method and Varimax rotation) and confirmatory factor analysis. Exploratory Factor Analysis of Twelve Components of Premarital Injuries (α = 0.93), Marriage Pattern Instability (α = 0.83), escape from main system marriage (α = 0.82), Marital Differences (α = 0.85) Problems of Marriage (α = 0.80), Family Related Factors (α = 0.77), Problematic Elements in Marriage (α = 0.77), Experience of Premarital Insecurity (α = 0.71) healing factor of marriage (α = 0.73), presence of painful members in marriage (α = 0.52), place of residence and issues in marriage (α = 0.58) and individual differences (α = 0.46) ) are showed. Confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the twelvefactor model. Cronbach's alpha was 0.96. The results showed that, the present questionnaire has psychometric properties for assessing marriage risk taking and can be used in various studies and situations.

In this Research, the "psychometric properties of autism spectrum rating scales in children with autism spectrum disorder" have been addressed and the main question is thus elaborated on whether the autism spectrum rating scales in children with autism spectrum disorder, is it desirable to have psychometric properties? The present research is in the field of psychometric planning. The current research community is comprised of all children with autism spectrum that came to exceptional centers and hospitals in Tehran. In this research, 120 subjects were selected as sample based on a targeted sampling method. In this research, a short form of 2 to 5 years of autism spectrum rating scale has been used as a Instrument that has a validity and Reliability in the original version. Finally, the findings of the research showed that the short form of 2 to 5 years of autism spectrum rating scale was 0.73 using Cronbach alpha and Spilit-halph was 0.79 The internal consistency is desirable, and the stability coefficient in the present research is 0.82, which indicates the repeatability of the Instrument. Finally, it was determined that a short form of 2 to 5 years of grade Autism spectrum rating scale for children with a concurrent normative is a clinical.

The purpose of this study was examining the psychometric properties of adolescents coping scale (Frydenberg & Lewis, 1993). This study is correlational and the sample consisted of 214 high school student (99 males and 115 female) selected through multistage sampling. Adolescent Coping Scale and Mental Health Questionnaire were administered to collect data. Cronbach’salpha was equal to 0.88. The results of principle component analysis (PC) using Varimax rotation revealed that the questionnaire involved 14 factors (help seeking, self-blame, spiritual, friends, tension reduction, physical recreation, problem solving, not coping, worry, seek to belong, ignoring, keep to self, ignore the problem, social support). Fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the 14 extracted factors. In addition, the results of comparing the model of second-order factor analysis and one-first factor model showed that the model of two first order factors, i.e. adjusted and maladjusted strategies fitted more than the one-factor model. The significant correlation between the fourteen factors and general health questionnaire confirmed the convergent validity of coping scale.According to the results of reliability and validity of adolescent coping scale, this instrument is valid and reliable so that it can investigate the coping behaviors of adolescents’ emotional problems in an Iranian community; however, the forth coming studies must be conducted on clinical population as well.
