kenny defines Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) as the maeked and constant anxiety of musicians about their performance which shows itself in combination of affective, cognitive, physical, and behavioral symptoms. The aim of this research was normalization Dianna T. kennys MPA questionnaire among Iranian sample. The descriptive-surveyial and correlation method was used in this research. In total 450 musicians, teachers and students, who have experienced stage-performance in two city, Mashhad and specially Shiraz, participated in this research and completed MPA questionnaire and Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI). Convergent validity , internal consistency and factorial analysis methods have used in order to examination the validity and reliability MPA questionnaire. Finally The results showed: internal consistency in terms of Kronbakhs Alpha is 0/82 and concurrent validity with STAI is 0/16 which are significant in 0001/0 level. The results of factorial analysis also showed that this questionnaire has two factors which these two factors are able to explain 35/14 of the variance. This tow factors are called performance anxiety or shift attention and anxiety .According to these results, current research confirms and supports from reliability and validity of MPA questionnaire among Iranian sample and thus MPA questionnaire is applicable among Iranian society.

This study is an attempt to examine the psychometric properties of the academic engagement scale formulated by Tinio in 2009. The academic engagement scale was administered to a sample volume of 358 students who were randomly selected thorough the process of cluster sampling. The construct validity, convergent validity and internal consistency of the scale were calculated by exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The results of principle component analysis and oblique rotation demonstrated that the academic engagement scale had three factors. The goodness of fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the three factors. Moreover, the multidimensional scales of academic engagement scale were shown to be an acceptable measurement model in this sample. The correlation coefficients between academic engagement subscales were positive and significant (p<0.05), which confirmed the convergent validity of the scale. Regarding the internal consistency, the alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.96, behavioral engagement as 0.90, emotional engagement as 0.92 and cognitive engagement as 0.88 of the total scale. In conclusion, Tinio's scale was proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for measuring THE academic engagement of the Iranian students.
