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.

A fundamental dimension along which all social and personal relationships vary is closeness. The purpose of present study was to investigate the factor structure and Item-Response parameters of the Unidimensional Relationship Closeness Scale. In a descriptive-correlational design and test validation 180 Birjand University students in the first study and 250 students in the second study were selected through multi-stage random sampling and completed the Unidimensional Relationship Closeness Scale (Dibel, Levin & Park, 2012). The data were analyzed by internal consistency, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, discrimination and threshold parameters and Item and test information curves. Results showed that the Unidimensional Relationship Closeness scale had a one-factor structure with explained variance of 63.39. Confirmatory factor validity was also confirmed. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.95 and 0.93 and split half coefficients were 0.89 and 0.88, respectively in two studies. The Item-Response parameters were also at the optimum level. It seems that the Unidimensional Relationship Closeness scale, and in particular the structure of its 12 item versions, has a good reliability and validity in students.

Cognition and knowledge is growing rapidly, and the meaning of knowing from the ability to remember and repeat information has changed to the ability to find and use appropriate information. Thus, metacognitive competence has become an important competitive element in the learning process for individuals in general and students and researchers in particular in the present age. It is therefore essential to have an accurate and efficient tool for measuring it. With this approach, the purpose of this study was to validate the Sherraw & Denison (1994) metacognitive awareness questionnaire including 52 items in 8 components. The statistical population of this study consisted of 50 faculty members and lecturers and more than 1750 graduates of the above mentioned centers. By submitting the questionnaire and receiving it, 302 complete and unadapted questionnaires were provided to the researcher. KMO test and Bartlett test were used to determine sampling adequacy. The above tests confirmed the suitability of sample number. In order to validate the above questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis was performed using SPSS 23 software. The results showed that six components of the eight components of the questionnaire including expression knowledge, procedural knowledge, situational knowledge, information management strategies, debugging and evaluation strategies were replicated without any changes as the creators presented. At the same time, the results showed that by combining the two planning variables and the perception checker, one single variable can be obtained that by examining the nature of common questions and concepts as "Planning and monitoring of learning", Named.

Abstract: <br /> 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.

Background: No epoch like the present era has been considered the danger of dissolution of the family center and its adverse effects, and in no epoch like this era has human beings ever had this danger and its adverse effects. The most complex relationship is the relationship between a husband and wife, so access to information in this area will be extremely difficult and in some circumstances impossible. Much research has been done to find the most important causes of divorce, but they have yielded different results. For this reason, the vacuum caused by the lack of methods for organizing, displaying, linking and ultimately integrating research is felt. Objectives: The present study aimed at combining quantitative results (meta-analysis) with research on the causes of personality and effective communication in divorce. Method: 36 studies were conducted through Internet search in internal databases and hand search in the Iranian Institute of Science and Technology between 1999 and 1395. Identification and information were analyzed through a comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA2). Results: The combined effect index of r for personality variables in the fixed model is 0.042 and in the randomized model is 0.08 and for the communication variables in the fixed effects model is 0.034 and in the random effects model, 0.057 which according to Cohen’s criterion, the effect size, In both cases, it was low. However, in examining the size of the effect of separation of personality causes, the variables of doing the wrongdoing, and in the causes of the relationship between lack of attention and love, had a large effect and a positive relationship with the divorce. Due to heterogeneity in studies, modulator analysis was carried out.
