AbstractThe aim of this study was to design a checklist of pre-number concepts in children aged 5 to 6 years and to examine its psychometric properties. To build this tool, library resources or documentary analysis were used. And the checklist contains 66 questions that have 5 components (classification, alignment, mental retention, geometry, detection of similarities and differences), which introduce pre-number concepts at different levels such as (five senses, memory and observation, Classification, thinking sequence, reasoning and problem solving, color concept, shape, mathematical concepts are prerequisites, environmental concepts related to natural, physical, social environment. This questionnaire was administered online in kindergartens and preschools and the statistical population The parents of the children were 5 to 6 years old and the samples included 100 parents.This checklist had 4 objectives: first, how the concepts before the number in children, second, determining the content and face validity, third, determining the reliability of the checklist, and finally determining the validity of the data. It was performed in SPSS22 software and descriptive index including mean, variance, graph, skew and also inferential statistics were evaluated by exploratory factor analysis and the result was that the checklist was reduced from 66 questions to 42 questions. Cronbach's alpha was about 0.6 and also for the internal consistency of the construct validity questionnaire. Confirmed. The questionnaire was also reviewed by 10 experts and the content and face validity of the questionnaire, which was based on the CVR, was about 2.2. And in research on children, about 0.86 of children have pre-number concepts in them.

The expend of social media has significantly changed marketing practices. Organizations are investing in technology to increase their presence on social media. Social media marketing, customer communication, collaboration, and interaction, and encourages their participation. The purpose of this study was to validation and Reliability of social media marketing scale in sports. This study was descriptive and correlational studies. The statistical population of the present study was the customers of sports and entertainment complexes in Hamadan. According to the minimum sample size criterion required for data collection in factor analysis, 260 customers were selected as a statistical sample. Questionnaires were randomly distributed among the samples. A researcher-made questionnaire was developed from the literature review of the research subject into five components: information, comfort, social interaction, well-being and entertainment. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was determined with the help of 10 sports marketing experts. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis to identify components and confirmatory factor analysis to determine the validity of the structure. The results showed that the reliability of the components of the questionnaire was acceptable. Regarding the relationship between agents and social media marketing, the results showed that all factors could be a good explanation for the concept of social media marketing; The Ratio indicators 2/df=1.88, RMSEA=0.058, NNFI=.98, NFI=.97, CFI=0.99, IFI=0.99, RFI=0.99, GFI=.92 confirmed the suitability of the model. As a result, the internal and external validity of the social media marketing model was confirmed. With the approval of the tools mentioned in this study, future researchers can use the current tools to determine social media marketing in sports.

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 present study was conducted with the aim of designing and validating a quality evaluation tool for educational services based on the Servqual model. This research is an applied research in descriptive-correlative manner. The statistical population of this study was all students of Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan. The sample size was estimated using the Morgan table of 300 people. The samples were selected by simple random sampling. Based on the quality of service of Servqual, the model of quality of educational services of the university, 60 questions were designed in two main dimensions of perceptions and expectations in the 5-degree Likert scale; the validity of the tool was then evaluated using Content Validity and Confirmatory Factor Analysis techniques. Finally, Cronbach's alpha method was used to determine the reliability of the tool. The results showed that the structure of the quality of educational services quality of the university according to the total content validity (0.752), expectations (0.748) and perceptions (0.766), and confirmatory factor analysis, which explained the amount of variance explained by the whole model (GFI) Equal to 0.98 and error value equal to 0.202. Also, the tool has a suitable and desirable reliability with total Cronbach's values (0.92), expectations (0.903) and perceptions (0.933).

Moral intelligence is the ability to differ right from wrong, to have strong moral beliefs, and to do the right thing. Building moral intelligence in children from an early age is essential. Therefore we need to do baseline measurements, develop and implement intervention programs, and finally assess the effect of these programs on children’s moral intelligence. For this reason, the present study aimed to create and validate a moral intelligence questionnaire for children. From all the preschools and kindergartens of Shahroud, a cluster sample of 300 children was selected to complete the assessment tools. Factor analysis was conducted to determine the factor structure of the questionnaire, while convergent and divergent validity were assessed with Pearson correlation coefficient. Reliability was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha. Factor analysis results revealed that consistent with the theoretical foundations, Children’s Moral Intelligence Questionnaire (CMIQ) has a six-factor structure consisting of conscience, self-control, empathy, patience, justice, and respect. The convergent and divergent validity for CMIQ was examined via concurrent administration of KajbafNejad Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire for Children and Shahim’s Questionnaire for Behavioral Problems in Children, respectively. Both results were satisfactory. An overall Cronbach’s alpha of 0.92 indicated that CMIQ has high reliability and can be used for moral intelligence assessment in preschool and kindergarten children of 4 to 6 years old.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the Factor analysis of the Adult Self-Transcendence Inventory among students in Bu Ali Sina University . The population was all of students in Bu Ali Sina University in 2014-2015 academic years. Research sample was 300 girls and boys students which were selected by using simple random sampling method. The instruments were Adult Self-Transcendence Inventoryand scale. The data collected from the sample were put into SPSS- 18 and were analyzed using statistical methods, Bartlet’s test of sphericity, Kaiser-Olkin Measure, Varimax Method for rotations, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach alpha coefficient. The factor analysis findings show that the test measures three factors named: self- independent, cosmic and alienation. The internal reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) for total scale and all factors were high (0.63) and showed appropriate tool. Since wisdom is related to culture, so present study can be obtained factors for assesing the students' wisdom.
