Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the psychometric properties of the Sense of agency Questionnaire in virtual education. The statistical population included all students of the University of Isfahan in 2020-2021 (16,500 people). Based on Cochran's formula, a sample of 367 people was selected based on a multi-stage random method. 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. Fitness indicators showed that the measurement model of the sense of agency questionnaire has a good fitness. The results showed that the Tapal et al sense of agency (2017) questionnaire, by measuring both positive and negative dimensions, is a valid tool for determining the extent to which individuals have this empowering feature.
