The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity and reliability of Pearson, Child and Carmen's (2010) ritual questionnaire in committed relationships. The population of the research included all married men and women in Isfahan city in 2023-2024, the study was conducted using the available sampling method and with a sample size of 388 people, which was calculated based on the ratio of the number of samples to the number of items in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed and completed electronically and partially in printed form after being translated and legalized by experts. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to check the reliability of the questionnaire and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole questionnaire of rituals in committed relationships is equal to 0.988 and for the factors of daily routines and tasks (0.919), Idiosyncratic rituals (0.952), everyday talk rituals (0.963), intimacy expressions (961. 0) and couple-time rituals (0.971) were obtained. Also, the results of the factor analysis confirm that the structure of the questionnaire has an acceptable fit with the data and all the goodness of fit indicators confirm the model (NFI= 0.924, RMSEA = 0.078, IFI = 0.917 and CFI = 0.946). Finally, the convergence validity is mentioned based on the average extracted variance (AVE) of five factors, the minimum value of which is 0.74, which indicates a suitable convergence. Therefore, it can be concluded that the questionnaire can be a suitable tool for evaluating rituals in the committed relationships of married men and women, and it can be used as a reliable tool in research.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric Indices of the 14-item Questionnaire of Mental Scale (TSV; Wu & Fan, 2016) in the Iranian student community. Participants were 260 students from Damghan State universities who were selected by cluster sampling. Participants responded to individually Task Subjective Value scales, Achievement behaviors, and academic self-efficacy in a single classroom session with the same set of tools, respectively. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the construct validity of the TSV Scale. The results of principal component analysis with varimax rotation showed that the TSV scale consists of two subscales Utility-Attainment value and intrinsic values. Confirmatory factor analysis results by comparing competing single-factor, two-factor and four-factor models showed that the two-factor structure of the scale had a better fit to the data and all fit indices confirmed the fit of the model. Also, the internal consistency of the TSV subscales using the Cronbach's alpha method was appropriate. To estimate the criterion and convergent validity of the correlation coefficients of the TSV subscales with the subscales of effort and persistence on the Scales of achievement Behaviors (Wu & Fan, 2016) and academic self-efficacy (Pint rich and De Groot, 1990). The level of 0.01 was significant. Totality, the results of the present study provide evidence for the validity and reliability of TSV as a tool for assessing the subjective value of homework among Iranian students and can be used by researchers.

Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess psychometric indicators of students' Social- Emotional Competence Questionnaire (SECQ). Method: The sample size of this study was 518 high school female students selected by random sampling method from public secondary schools in Tehran and responded to the questionnaire. Findings: The results of exploratory factor analysis by main components method, in addition to general emotional-social competence, have 5 factors (self-awareness, social consciousness, self-management, relationship management and responsible decision-making) for the students' emotional-social competence questionnaire (SECQ), approved. To verify the reliability of the questionnaire, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the method of re-examination were used and a confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its validity. The results showed that the questionnaire had acceptable internal consistency, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients were below 0/77 to 0/80 in the sub-scales. The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained through a 0/86 test which was significant at the level of p
