Phubbing is an emerging phenomenon in the world that has become more prominent in modern societies with the development of smartphones. With a practical purpose, this study has tried to standardize the phubbing Phenomenon Questionnaire and study and identify this phenomenon. The research method was correlational and its statistical population included the general population of users of smartphones and virtual networks. The sample size of the present study includes 408 people who were sampled by online questionnaires. In this study, the general phubbing scale (Chotpitayasunondh & Douglas, 2018), and the mobile phone addiction scale (Savari, 2014), and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings of this study showed good validity and reliability for the phubbing General Scale Questionnaire. Also, the convergent validity between phubbing General Scale Questionnaire and Mobile Phone Addiction Questionnaire was 0/77. Based on the results, the phubbing General Scale Questionnaire can be used by the general population of Iran.

The aim of this study was to construct and investigate the factor structure of the scale of students' academic destructive behaviors. The research method was descriptive-correlation and the statistical population included all first grade high school students in Bushehr. Participants in the study were 503 male and female students who were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling. Structural validity (confirmatory factor analysis) was used to determine the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha coefficient and structural reliability in SPSS and AMOS software were used to assess the reliability. The goodness indicators confirmed the fit of the model. The results confirmed the existence of four factors of academic, academic dishonesty, academic status violations and academic oppositional defiant on this scale. Cronbach's alpha indices of these components were also considered favorable. In general, the scale of academic harmful behaviors has a good internal consistency and good validity and can be used in research related to academic injuries.

Abstract Changes in the lives of the elderly can have profound effects on the lives of the elderly and their mental health. If one is flexible and adaptable, one can cope more with these changes. The present study was conducted to investigate the psychometric properties of the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) in the elderly. The present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of method. The statistical population of the present study included the elderly in the empty nest in Tehran in 2021. Among them, 278 eligible people who volunteered to participate in the study were selected as a sample by the sampling method and the Simmons and Gaher distress tolerance questionnaire (2005) responded. The results of exploratory factor analysis using the principal components method, in addition to the general factor of anxiety tolerance, confirmed four factors (tolerance, absorption, evaluation and regulation) for the anxiety tolerance questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its factor validity. The results showed that the questionnaire has an acceptable internal consistency and the reliability coefficients of the distress tolerance questionnaire are between 0.64 and 0.82. Also, the total reliability coefficient of the questionnaire is equal to 0.89. Confirmatory factor analysis was also used to determine factor validity. The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirm that the structure of the questionnaire has an acceptable fit with the data and all goodness indicators of the fit confirm the model. Therefore, considering the desirable psychometric properties, this questionnaire is a suitable tool for determining Distress Tolerance tolerance.

The purpose of this study was to identify teachers' organizational citizenship behavior and construction and validation of a questionnaire for teachers' organizational citizenship behavior to assess them. The research method is descriptive survey. The statistical population of this study includes all secondary education teachers (districts 1 and 2) during the 1399-1400 school year in Kerman city .Sampling method was available in this study that in the preliminary implementation of the sample size of 30 people and in the final implementation of 384 teachers were selected as the sample size.To collect the data, teachers' organizational citizenship behavior questionnaires developed by the researchers of the present study (including 35 questions and 5 dimensions), organizational bullying of Inerson et al. (2009) and organizational citizenship behavior of Padsakov et al. (1990) were used. Research data were used through descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The overall reliability of the questionnaire was 0.95 using Cronbach's alpha method. . In the present study, content and structural validity were used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, and the results showed that all items of the questionnaire had high validity. As a result, all items of the questionnaire measure the teachers' organizational citizenship behavior, and the questionnaire has significant reliability and validity and can be used to measure the teachers' organizational citizenship behavior.

The aim of this study was to construct and validate a learning disabilities' diagnostic checklist. According to the purpose of research, descriptive research method and test-making type have been used. The statistical population was primary school students (first and second grade) in Najaf Abad and the statistical sample included 180 students who were selected by multi-stage random sampling. Validity of the scale was performed using factor analysis. To evaluate the scale's reliability were used Cronbach's alpha coefficients and splitting method. The results showed the reliability coefficient of the total diagnostic checklist and the reliability coefficient of 10 subscales are at an acceptable level. Also, the results of the construct validity of the 10 factors confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The correlation between the learning disabilities diagnostic checklist and the informal reading, writing and math test were calculated, which indicates the validity of the checklist criterion. Therefore, this checklist with 87 items of is worthy for evaluating 10 areas of spatial perception, organization, socio-emotional skills, motor skills, attention, language skills, reading skills, writing skills, essay writing, skills and mathematics in students. Therefore, it is suggested this checklist be used to assess and diagnose of learning disabilities in primary school students.

The purpose of this article was to investigate the effect of important variables of antecedent and postpositional approach to study students. The proposed model was implemented on undergraduate students of three universities of Iran, Shahid Beheshti University , University of Tehran, University of Science and Technology. 692 undergraduate students from three universities were selected by relative stratified sampling. In order to collect data from Basic psychological Needs scales (BPN) by Deci & Ryan (2000), Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure) DREEM ( by Dundee (2000), Academically Motivation Questionnaire (AM) by Harter (1981), Approaches to Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) by Tait & Entwistle (1979), The Academic Success Inventory for College Student(ASICS) by Prevat et al .(2002), academic satisfaction of Turkzadeh and Mohtaram (2012) and Generic Skills Development (GSD) By Lizzio et al. (2002) have been used. The reliability of Cronbach's alpha of the instruments was obtained between 0.72 to0.93 and the construct validity of the instruments was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. Findings showed that the proposed research model was able to explain about 32% of the surface approach to study, 6% of the variance of the deep approach to study and 26% of the variable variance of students' learning outcomes. The results showed that the basic psychological needs and academic environment encourage students to use more of a surface approach to study and less of deep approach to study. .

Due to the impact of dogmatism on many areas of individual and social life, much research is done focusing on this cognitive construct. However, since that there is no instrument in Iran for assessing Dogmatism, the aim of this study is to prepare Rokeach’s Dogmatism questionnaire and investigate its reliability and validity in Iranian students. Finally, 412 students were selected using multi-stage stratified sampling from Shahid Beheshti University students and completed the Persian version of Rokeach’s Dogmatism Questionnaire along with the Conservative thinking style subscale of Sternberg’s thinking styles Inventory. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis by principal component analysis. Analysis showed that the questionnaire is composed of 12 factors having values above 1, which altogether explain 56 percent of its variance. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.75 for whole questionnaire and its correlation with the Conservative thinking style subscale was significantly positive. The results of the present study indicate that this questionnaire is relatively suitable for implementation in the Iranian student community.
