This research was descriptive in nature, aiming to explore the psychometric characteristics of a practical aspect. The statistical sample comprised all students attending the First Secondary School in Qom City during the academic year 1400-1401. A sample of 355 students from the First Secondary School in Qom City were recruited using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. The Academic Persistence Scale (APS) by Talib et al. (2018) was administered to them. The data were subsequently analyzed using SPSS22 and AMOS22 statistical software and subjected to exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis. The results demonstrated that the extracted factor accounted for 79.93% of the variability in the academic persistence variable. The reliability of the tool was determined to be 0.994 using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, with 0.989 for the first half and 0.988 for the second half using the two-halves method. The Persian version of the Academic persistence Scale (APS) was found to be an effective tool for assessment, as indicated by the outcomes of the exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis.

Introduction: This study investigates the psychometric properties of the psychological playfulness questionnaire. Method: This research is a practical and descriptive-correlative study. Population statistical was consisted of 3990 of high school students in 2017-2018 in the poldokhtar city. 350 students selected by multi-level sampling method. Shen, Chick and Zinn (2014) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were used. Pearson correlation coefficient, Bartlett test, KMO, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used for data analysis. Findings: Reliability of psychological playfulness test based on the Cronbach's alpha was 0.93. Convergent validity (correlation between playfulness and happiness scale) was 42/0, which was significant at 0/001. Exploratory factor analysis showed beliefs dimension was unreliable. So this dimension was removed from questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis showed questions of other dimensions have proper validity. Also, Fitness indices were confirmed.Results: Psychological playfulness questionnaire by measuring of four dimensions (initiation, reactivity uninhibitedness; spontaneity) is proper tool for evaluation psychological playfulness.

Abstract: The detrimental effects of peer rejection during childhood have made research in this area a necessity. The main step in each research is to have a valid and reliable questionnaire for the culture of that society. The main purpose of the present study is to examine the psychometric properties (determination of factor structure, validity, and validity) of the rejection scale of Wiesel, Sarid & Sternberg (2013). The research design is correlation. The statistical population is taken from 6th-grade elementary school students of Kermanshah. The total number of the participants is 311 students which were selected by the random cluster sampling method. 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 into one concept. In sum, our peer rejection scale after a little modification showed suitable reliability and validity and can be used among Iranian students.
