The main purpose of this research was The survey psychometric of mental health and spiritual intelligence tests in student university of shahrbabak city. The statistical universe included all students in a dormitory, amounting to a sample set of 166 people. About 154 people in this group were selected as the sample. In this research, the measuring devices was mental health and spiritual intelligence Questionnaires were determined as having sufficient reliability and validity. This study was conducted as a comparative and analytical investigation. The dormitory supervisor put all students on one or two scales on based do or not do religious tasks. Results of all scales on evaluations of spiritual intelligence and mental health, showed that means of students who participated in religious task had higher scores, demonstrating that they were in a more healthy mental state. The results of MANOVA test showed that the religious task has a meaningful effect on mental health and spiritual intelligence scales at the level (p<0.01) except on the scale of headache and loneless and stomachs problems

 School engagement is associated with several positive academic outcomes which cause growing interest among researchers. Inconsistencies in measures of school engagement in the literature around the world have called for reexamining its components and subscales in Iran.

Goal: 

The aim of this study is exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of school engagement scale for Iranian high school students

The research's method is correlation. The population is taken from students of the public high school of Rey, Tehran. The total number of the participants is 322 which were selected by the random cluster sampling method.  They respond to Wang, Willett & Eccles school engagement questionnaire. 

Exploratory factor analysis extracts 4 components which were confirmed by first order confirmatory factor analysis. Second order confirmatory factor analysis showed that these four components can be categorized in two subscales.

In summary, our revised scale of school engagement has suitable reliability and validity. We can use this scale to assess school engagement of students.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the cognitive emotion regulation questionn aire in university students.The data were collected from Islamic Azad University, Central Branch in Tehran in the form of cluster sampling. A sample including 360 individuals responded to the Persian version of cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to check the validity. In confirmatory factorial analysis of the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire using Amos 21, 10 questions were eliminated, culminating in a 26-item questionnaire with seven factors, confirming the theoretical background. The measurement model enjoyed a favorable fitting. Cronbach's alpha was used to check the reliability, which was obtained as 0.812for the 26-item questionnaire. Since the cognitive emotion regulation scale (26 items) enjoyed a good reliability and validity, thus it can be used in diagnostic and research areas

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Inventory(ZTPI) among adolescents. A sample of 866 high school student adolescents aged 14-18 years after selecting by cluster sampling, participated in the study. However Confirmatory Factor Analysis acquired unacceptable fit indexes for the posited five-factor structure, using Exploratory Factor Analysis supported the original factor structure of the ZTPI, 42 of the 56 items belong to their appropriate factors and 8 items had cross-loadings over .30 on inappropriate factors. A total of 4 items did not show a substantial loading (>.3) on any of the factors and at least 20 items emerged with factor loadings less than .40. Similar to the results of previous research, current study recommended the use of the instrument only with serious caution in the adolescents’ population.

This paper attempted to study the psychometric characteristics of the “quality of working life” questionnaire and its relationship with “burnout” among Iranian Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism organization employees. To this purpose, a sample group of 350 people were selected through an accessible population sampling, and answered to two questionnaires: the quality of work life with 27 questions and the burnout with 25 questions (in both intensity and frequency). To Show the reliability of the scale, the general formula of “Cronbach's Alpha” was used which was reported to be 0.930. To check the validity, the factor analysis was used and structures and components on this scale with (KMO) index and Bartlett were investigated. The validity of the results of KMO= 0.902 and Bartlett was equal to 4561.295 and factor analysis showed that by eliminating a factor due to low load factor, the questionnaire consists of six main factors was saturated. These six factors (the rule of law and obedience to law, social Solidarity and integration, providing opportunities for growth and security, the development of human capabilities, the fair and adequate payment, overall living space) determined 62.134% of the variance of variables. Multivariate regression analysis showed that the components of fair payment in the amount of  -0.229, and the general space of life in the amount of  -0.129 have influence on Burnout which comparing them, the fair payment has had the most impossible effect. The results showed that with reinforcement or reducing some of the quality of work life components, it is enable to establish the mental health, prepared social and work life for staff, the staffs effective leading for managers, and compensate the lack of information in order to have a useful work planning and boost the organization efficiency for planners
