Considering the extent of developmental-behavioral problems, existing questionnaires assess the limited aspects of these problems. Developmental -Behavioral Problem Questionnaire (FTF) is more comprehensive than other tools and made with a comprehensive look at these problems. The purpose of this study was to validate this questionnaire in Iranian society. The present study is descriptive. A sample of 700 individuals was selected through cluster sampling from Tehran, East Azarbaijan, Isfahan, Ahvaz and Kurdistan provinces, 55 subjects were excluded from the statistical analysis due to incomplete response to the questionnaires, in this way, the final sample was reduced to 645 mothers. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25 and LISREL. The present questionnaire consists of 18 dimensions. The reliability coefficients of the dimensions of the questionnaire are between 0/486 (defective in organizing) and up to 0/916 (academic skill deficiency). And also with regard to the fitting indicators reported, the six-factor model is considered to be the best-fit model. According to the findings of the present study, the developmental -Behavioral problems (FTF) questionnaire(FTF) in Iranian society as a tool for evaluating developmental-behavioral problems has a good validity. And can be used as a valid tool in clinical and research settings.

This research is aimed at a meta-analysis of research on the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies in reducing students' psychological problems. The statistical population is research that has relatively similar questions about the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies and their method is either experimental or quasi-experimental. By reviewing the history, 28 articles were found. All of these articles were from 2011 to 2015. Of these, only 16 reported well-reported statistical results. The mean test p was selected for combining the test results and the Cohen effect size method was used to achieve the total effect value. The findings of the study indicated that the average size of d in the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies in reducing students' psychological problems was 1.067. By converting the average d to z values in a normal distribution curve, the normal curve cover level was 0.86, which is relatively high. The significance level of the calculations was also 0.01 and the overall effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies was confirmed in reducing students' psychological problems

The major aim of this research was to investigate the precision of the up parametric statistics to detect common response styles in polytomouse data. In the present study, five-choices data was simulated with 25 replication according to a fully-crossed design based on Partial Cradit Rasch model. The design included foure types of response styles ;Extreme responding positive, negative, acquiescence and midpoint responding, in four -different situations ; Sample size, test length, percentages of aberrant-responding examinees and percentages of aberrant items was investigated. precision of the Up statistic was high to detect the response styles in all situations respectively; ;Extreme responding negative, positive, acquiescence and it was possible to distinguish between the compatible and aberrant response patterns with the highest precision in these response styles,except to detect the midpoint responding was less precision, in some situations. The Up parametric statistics has high sensitivity to detect common response styles in non-cognitive multiple choice data and it is suggested that be used this statistics to detect of the response styles of extreme responding negative, positive, acquiescence .

The present study aimed to construct, identify and validate the Readiness Questionnaire for of readiness for change in adolescent girls. The research method was a sequential exploratory combination with a tool compilation model. The research method in the qualitative part of text analysis in deductive-inductive method and statistical population included books and articles related to theories and factors affecting the readiness for change and the sample was selected purposefully. In a small part of the society, it included female students in the second year of high school in District 5 of Tehran in 2009-2010. 300 students randomly selected a two-step cluster method and completed the Readiness to Change questionnaire. To confirm the data, the confirmatory factor analysis was used first, the fitness indicators were not desirable in the first step. After using exploratory factor analysis by way of combining items, confirmatory factor analysis was used again and the fit indices indicated the fit of the model with the collected data. Accordingly, the factors of skills, personality traits, adaptability and risk-taking were confirmed. The internal consistency of the questionnaire and the components for the mentioned factors were 0.66, 0.71, 0.68 and 0.72, respectively, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the whole questionnaire was 0.83. The average extracted variance (AVE) of the components is 0.652, 0.625, 0.528 and 0.510, respectively, indicating that the extracted components have an acceptable convergent validity. The reliability of the whole test was also estimated to be 0.88. The questionnaire can be used for research purposes, and psychologists can use it to measure the readiness of adolescent girls to change.

The research method was survey and the statistical population includes all of the postgraduate students of humanities faculty (Literature and Humanities, Islamic Theology and Science, Sport Sciences, Education and Psychology, Administrative and Economic Sciences) at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (N=3199). Using Cochran formula, the sample size was estimated to be 343 student. The participants were selected by stratified random sampling. The theoretical model Linnenbrink and Pintrich (2002) was determined as the basis of scale construction. This model includes three components of cognitive, emotional, and leadership engagement. SPSS and AMOS software are used for data analysis. Content validity and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha coefficient to check the reliability. The results showed that the alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.89 and for cognitive (0.80), emotional (0.73) and behavioral (0.76). Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 8 experts of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (based on CVI) and inappropriate items were removed. Goodness indicators confirmed the fit of the model. According to the research results the research engagement questionnaire had good internal consistency and validity and this questionnaire can be used in research.

Introduction: Although different tools have been designed to measure mindfulness, none of these tools comprehensively examined the dimensions of mindfulness together. Moreover, they were related to a specific age group only. In response to this research gap, the Droutman et al.'s Mindfulness Scale (AAMS) is designed with 19 items to measure four dimensions of mindfulness for both groups of adolescents and adults. The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of Droutman et al.'s Mindfulness Scale in two groups of students. Methods: The present study, in the form of a psychometric study, sought to investigate the validity and reliability of the Droutman et al.'s Mindfulness Scale. The study participants were 525 people (220 university students and 305 school students) who were studying in 1397-98 academic year and completed Droutman et al.'s Mindfulness Scale, Gilbert et al.'s Social safeness and pleasure scale, Keyes & Magyar-Moe Emotional well –being scale, and Kraaij & Garnefski behavioral emotion regulation questionnaire. The Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the four factors of attention and awareness, being non- reactive, being non-judgmental and being self- accepting. The results of correlation with other tests also confirmed the convergent validity of the scale. The Cronbach's alpha method was used to determine the reliability of the scale, with all coefficients indicating an acceptable internal consistency of the subscales and the total score of the scale. Conclusion: The results show that the Droutman et al.'s mindfulness scale has a very good validity and reliability in Iranian university and school students, and It is effective in measuring mindfulness in the four dimensions mentioned. The results are based on research and theoretical evidence.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the FAAQ in people who engaged in weight loss or weight loss maintenance. In this descriptive study, 420 men and women were selected through consecutive sampling. They respond to the FAAQ and the Self-compassion Scale (SCS). To assess the validity of the questionnaire, construct validity (exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis) and convergent validity was used. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed via internal consistency. Exploratory factor analysis of the FAAQ’s items revealed two factors named willingness and acceptance, but, at the item level, it was different from the original model of the questionnaire. For two extracted factors, Cronbach’s alphas range was 0.73 to 0.74 suggesting satisfying reliability of the Persian version of the FAAQ. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original two factor model of the questionnaire, and fit indices indicated a good model fit. The convergent validity of the questionnaire was also adequate. The Persian version of the FAAQ has adequate reliability and validity in Iranian society and is a good self-report for research and clinical settings.

Abstract: One of the main ways to reduce the divorce is to use marital conflict counseling services. However, most of the women on the verge of divorce have no incentive for counseling. Determining these types of women on the verge of divorce and motivating them to counsel, the present study aimed to provide a motivation scale for counseling in women on the verge of divorce. The research method was survey. The population consisted of all women on the verge of divorce in Hamedan province in 2019. The sampling method was purposeful and the samples were selected from the cities of Hamedan, Asadabad, and Bahar. The sample size was 291 subjects. To determine the factor analysis and validity of the construct of psychometric properties of the motivation scale for marital conflict counseling, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used. Performing the exploratory factor analysis using principal variables, varimax rotation, and final extraction, three factors of expectation, tools, and value were obtained. They explicated a total of 78.94 of the total variance of the scale items. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the subscales of expectation was estimated as 0.95, for value as 0.94, and for the total score of the scale as 0.95, indicating good reliability of the items. The confirmatory factor analysis and its indicators demonstrated good fitting of the scale, and confirmed the correlation between items and the construct in this three-factor model. Conclusion: according to the results of the present study, it can be said that this version of motivation scale for marital conflict counseling in women on the verge of divorce has sufficient validity and reliability and can be used in various situations of marital conflict counseling and research activities.
