The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the scale of response to sexual rejection in married women in Ardabil. The statistical population of this study consisted of all married women in Ardabil. From the statistical population, available sampling method and individually responded to the sex rejection scale. Internal consistency coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis were used for data analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 and LISREL 8.8. The results of internal consistency coefficient showed that this scale has good reliability. The cronbach's alpha reliability of the scale for the four factors of understanding are resentment 0.83, uncertainty 0.86 and temptation 0.83. Confirmatory factor analysis fit indices showed validity of the scale (CFI = 0.98, RFI = 0.96, NNFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.062). The results of this study suggest that the RSRS scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring response to sexual rejection

Emotional blackmail is a powerful form of manipulation in which one person close to another threaten, either directly or indirectly, to punish him if he doesn't do what those person wants. The main purpose of the present study was to examine psychometric properties of Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) including construct validity, convergent validity and internal consistency. The study was a survey type. The statistical population of this research included all of married women in Ahvaz. Out of this population, 269 women selected through convenience sampling and completed Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Scale. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed three factors (fear, obligation and guilt feeling) but two-factor structure was not confirmed. The convergent validity of Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) was supported by an expected pattern of correlation between this scale and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Scale. All correlations between the mean scores on Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Scale were statistically significant. Coefficient’s Cronbach alpha were between 0/78 to 0/85. Findings showed that this scale can be used in clinical and research studies and the use of these scales is recommended to psychologists and family counselors.
