A total of 250 university students were selected as sample members by available sampling method. The Academic Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Burić et al., 2016) was implemented along with the Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (Elliot & Murayama, 2008). After excluding incomplete questionnaires and outliers 219 questionnaires remained. The questionnaire reliability was measured through Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency and the retest method. The confirmatory factor analysis and criterion validity were employed to analyze the questionnaire validity and standard scores for each range of scores were reported. All eight components of the original version were confirmed in the factor analysis. In the criterion validity, the variance explained by AERQ components was significant. Consisting of 37 items and 8 components, the Persian version of the AERQ has acceptable reliability and validity and can be utilized for research purposes.

Data collection tools included Tapal et al.'s sense of agency (2017) and Diener and Biswas flourishing (2008) questionnaire. Pearson correlation coeficient and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analysis of the data. Reliability of the questionnaire based on Cronbach's alpha for the total scale and its dimensions was confirmed. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed based on the views of psychologists and its criterion validity was confirmed based on a positive correlation with flourishing. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all questions of the sense of agency questionnaire had a proper and significant factor and consists of two factors: positive sense and negative sense of agency.

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.
