The purpose of the present study was to validate and construct a willingness to social participate questionnaire. Since this questionnaire was not designed and validated by local and national researchers, the design of such a questionnaire is of great importance. Thus, using survey survey, 303 citizens of Tehrani were selected by random sampling method and studied in order to test and validate the test. Initially, 23 items were designed and 8 experts in the field of social sciences evaluated the content based on the panel of experts to evaluate and modify the items as well as the validity of the had both validity and reliability. Then, by using exploratory factor analysis, more accurate validation was done on the questionnaire. The findings of this analysis showed that the willingness to social participate can be examined in two dimensions: the tendency to social participate due to organizational climate and the tendency to social participate due to personal arousalا questionnaire. The questionnaire

This study was conducted to standardize and evaluate the adequacy of self-esteem questionnaire indicators (SSC). This scale has 24 questions and has been standardized by Buzwell and Dasch in 1996 and 2012 years, and it includes four sub-scales of sexual behavior, sexual attraction, sexual control, and body perception. The statistical population of the study was all married Iranian women living in Isfahan city. The sample size was 160 people who have been selected from the five northern, southern, eastern, western and central metropolitan areas of city of Isfahan. For analysis of data, Spss and Lisrel software were used. The results of this study confirmed the fourfold structure of the theory of sexual self esteem. Norms of scales were obtained for married Iranian women. The obtained reliability and construct validity have a high and desirable coefficient, which indicates the reliability and applicability of the questionnaire in clinical and field.

Mental toughness is a measure of individual resilience and confidence that may predict success in various areas of life such as education. However, the literature review indicates that no scale has been standardized in this regard among the population of students in Iran. The purpose of the current study was to examine the validity, reliability, and factor structure of Mcgeown Clair & Putwain mental toughness scale. The research method is correlation. The population is taken from students of the public high school of Tehran in the 5th District. The total number of the participants was 370 students in the academic year of 2017-2018 which were selected by the random cluster sampling method. Exploratory factor analysis extracted five components which were confirmed by first-order confirmatory factor analysis after modification. Second-order confirmatory factor analysis showed that these five components could be categorized in one concept which is mental toughness. In sum, it can be said that the mental toughness scale has a good validity and reliability among the population of Iranian students and can be used for educational, diagnostic, research, and therapeutic purposes

The purpose of this study was to explain the role of creativity and thinking styles on academic achievement by mediating the academic motivation of students (boys and girls) in the secondary school of high schools in Robat Karim. In order to reach the goal of research, 542 students (268 girls, 274 boys), second grade secondary school high schools in Rabat Karim with a range of 20-15 years old were selected by multistage cluster sampling method and Abedi Creativity Questionnaire (1993) , Sternberg Thinking Styles Questionnaire (1997) and Valerand et al. (1992). In order to measure academic achievement, the annual average (end of the second turn) was used .The method of this researchwas descriptive-correlational. For data analysis, structural equation modeling was used. The results of the obtained data showed that the relationship between creativity and thinking styles with academic achievement and by motivating mediation with aggregated data was fitted in the model. Also, the relationship between thinking styles (legislative, judicial, executive) and creativity was not directly related to academic achievement. The relationship of internal educational motivation with significant academic achievement, and the degree of academic impulsivity with academic achievement was significant but negative .Also, the relationship between external educational motivation and academic achievement was nonsignificant and indirectly, with the intermediary effect of creativity motivation, and the style of executive thinking, there was a positive and positive relationship with academic achievement, but the relationship between thinking styles (legal, judicial) and academic achievement was not meaningful.

The aim of this research was study of psychometric properties of Aurora successful intelligence questionnaire on 10-12 years old children (self-report and parents form) in order to assessment of children successful intelligence according to Sternberg’s theory of successful intelligence. 300 children 10- 12 years old were selected through cluster sampling method and 300 their parents were tested with Aurora questionnaires. The factor analysis of data was performed through Amos software. Fit indices in self-report form show that data slightly fit with model and in parents form data fully fit with model. Moreover, the correlation between self-report questionnaire total score and memory, analytical, practical and creative abilities were 0.88, 0.91, 0.92, and 0.89 and in parents form were 0.90, 0.94, .091 and 0.93, respectively. Alpha for self-report form total score was equal to 0.92 and for parents form was 0.95. Aurora questionnaires (selfreport and parents forms) can be an appropriate and valid instrument for assessment successful intelligence in children aged 9-12 according to Sternberg’s theory of successful intelligence

The objective was to see if the fivefactor personality test of Neo and the SCL-90-R, which are used to diagnose psychological symptoms, could predict people's desire to use hallucinogenic substances. In this study, we had a general hypothesis and three specific hypotheses. Our general hypothesis was that there are significant positive correlations between the five personality traits evaluated by Neo and the symptomatic dimensions evaluated by SCL-90-R. To test this hypothesis, we asked people online to answer the two tests and a researcher-made demographic questionnaire for those who have used hallucinogenic substances at least once and those who had not used them at all. When the number of respondents reached 100 (a total of 200), we stopped the request. Logistic Regression analysis showed that of the five personality factors of the neo test, only two factors had significant correlation with openness and agreeableness with the use of hallucinogenic substances. The other three factors (neuroticism, extraversion, and conscientiousness) did not show a significant correlation. Of the five personality traits, only two traits, openness and agreeableness could predict the inclination of people to use hallucinogenic substances. In the case of symptoms evaluated by SCL90-R, only two features of hostility and interpersonal sensitivity could predict people’s inclination to use hallucinogenic substances

In this study, we investigated the psychometric properties of the Religion and Spirituality Questionnaire for Children. The original version of the questionnaire consists of 37 questions that measure two factors affecting children's spirituality (coping with faith and religious activities / social support). The statistical population of the study consisted of 2200 elementary male students in the academic year 2015-2015. Subjects were 325 elementary students who were selected by multistage cluster random sampling using Morgan table. The validity of the questionnaire was investigated by exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis and Cronbach's alpha method. The findings of factor analysis showed that by factor analysis of the questions and rotation of the results it was revealed by the twocomponent Varimax method that the number of these obtained components and the questions with these components had high factor loadings to a large extent. The questionnaire is consistent with the authors' findings. It was also found that both the whole questionnaire and all sub-tests had high reliability coefficient
