The present study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the PERMA-profiler in students. The research is descriptive correlational and applied. The statistical population of the study was university students of different educational levels with Internet access in academic year of 2019-2020, the sample size was 568 (385 females, 183 males) and the sampling method was convenience sampling. The research instruments were PERMA-profiler, Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (RSPWB-18), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21). First, the questionnaire was translated and its content and face validity were examined. Data was collected by an online questionnaire. Construct validity was assessed by CFA and the 5-factor structure of the questionnaire was confirmed. The correlation of the questionnaire with RSPWB-18, SWLS, and DASS-21, indicated the appropriate convergent and divergent validity of the construct. The internal consistency of the instrument with Cronbach's alpha and Guttmann coefficients was evaluated suitable for the subscales and the total score (0.66 to 0.95), and the test-retest with high coefficients (0.74 to 0.86) showed the stability of the instrument. Finally, based on the results of this study, PERMA-profiler has good validity and reliability for use in the student community.

The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of education, gender and age on spiritual intelligence while well-being was mediator and using partial least square structural equation modeling. In order to 220 students of the Amir Kabir University at the under graduate, master’s and doctoral degree using systematic random sampling were selected. They completed Spiritual Intelligence Scale of King (2007) and Keyes comprehensive scale of well-being (1998). Results showed that high scores in spiritual intelligence increased with education and direct effect was β=0.2. Also education has an indirect effect on sq with the mediating of well-being and the indirect effect was β=0.12. So the total effect was β=0.32. The direct effect of education on well-being was β= 0.25 and the total effect of well-being on sq was β=0.5. Gender and age have no effect on well-being and spiritual intelligence. The results emphasize the role of education on sq and well-being.
