The statistical population of this study consisted of all the students of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, who were studying in the academic year 2023-2024, and 318 people (187 male and 131 female) were selected from among them using available sampling method. In order to collect information, the Questionnaire of Artificial Intelligence Use Motives Yurt & Kasarci (2024) and general attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Schepman &Rodway (2020) Scale was used. To check the reliability of the questionnaire, the internal consistency method was used, and to check the validity of the questionnaire, criterion validity (simultaneous) with the scale of general attitude towards artificial intelligence and confirmatory factor analysis was used. The results of factor analysis showed that this questionnaire has a good fit and therefore has good validity (CFI=0/97, NFI=0/95, NNFI=0/96 and RMSEA=0/059). The results of the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) indicated the good reliability of the questionnaire, so that the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0/87 for the expectation factor, 0/86 for the attainment factor, 0/89 for the utility factor, and 0/82 for the intrinsic value/interest factor and 0/72 was obtained for the cost factor. Therefore, based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the questionnaire of artificial intelligence use motives has sufficient validity and reliability to measure this construct in Iranian samples.
