The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between personality traits and subjective well-being in predicting spiritual intelligence in order to develop structural model. For this aim 220 students of the Amir Kabir University at the under graduate, master’s and doctoral degrees using systematic random sampling were selected. They completed Spiritual Intelligence Scale of King (2007), Keyes comprehensive scale of well-being (1998) and Big Five Factor personality Inventory (NEO-FFI). In order to assess the relationship between latent and measured variables in the conceptual model, the structural equation modeling was used. The results showed that high scores in the spiritual intelligence predicted through low scores in neuroticism and high scores in extraversion and conscientiousness. In this model, well-being was mediator, and neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness with the mediating mental wellbeing could predict the variance of spiritual intelligence, regression weights of direct effects were not significant but the weights of indirect and total effects were significant, and the predictor variables explained 25% variances of spiritual intelligence. The results of the present study emphasize the role of personality traits on well-being and spiritual intelligence.

The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the sports injury anxiety questionnaire. 237 male athletes from individual and team sports including freestyle and Roman wrestling, taekwondo, badminton, football, basketball, athletics, wushu, karate, judo, fitness, skiing, volleyball and some sporadic athletes from other fields were selected by available sampling. Their average sport record was 32 ± 1 years, and age was 55± 10 years. After translation into Persian and confirmation by several specialists, the questionnaire, was presented to athletes, and then it was analyzed. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the eigenvalues were as: the first factors 5/876, the second factor 2/101, the third 2/028, the fourth 1/ 267, the fifth 1/155, and the sixth factor 1/ 114. The percentage of cumulative variance was 56/ 420 In total, so that the percentages of variance were 24 /482percent for Loss of athletic ability, 8/ 754percent for discouraging certain people from person, 8/ 450percent for re-injury, 5/ 280percent for poor perception of oneself, 4/812 percent for the loss of social support, and 4/642 percent for disorders of self-concept,,respectively. Model fitting indices by confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the chi-square value equal to 553 /40, at the significant level was p = 0/0, which was (276) away from the degree of freedom independent. The ratio of chi-square to degree of freedom was 3543/96. The comparative fit index was equal to (0/90) and normative fit index was equal to (0/84) and root mean square error of estimate was (0/078). In general, all the indicators of the model were favorable. Internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha was 0/853, which is acceptable and desirable.

Background: transition to adolescence is accompanied with rapid changes, unexpected and new cognitive, social, emotional and psychological experiences that makes challenges for adolescents and are considered as underlying factors of stress. Aim: The aim of present study was examining the psychometric properties of the Iranian version of Adolescent Stress Questionnaire (ASQ) in high school students of both genders. Method: The study sample consisted of high school students in Hamadan city in 2015 school year. 280 students were selected based on multi-stage random sampling. To study psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire, Adolescent Stress Questionnaire was translated with double-translation technique and finally, to evaluate the psychometric properties of the questionnaire, it was administered along with depression, anxiety, stress scale (DASS) and state anxiety Inventory (SAI) of Spielberg. Collected data was analyzed and reliability and validity indicators and confirmatory factor analysis were calculated. Results: Analysis of the collected data showed that the questionnaire has the reliability of 0.75 to 0.85 alpha coefficients in ten subscales, In addition, the concurrent validity of the questionnaire with subscales of depression anxiety, stress scale and trait anxiety questionnaire was equal to 0.34, 0.35, 0.82 and 0.15 respectively which in the p

The objective of this study is to investigate the sources of systematic errors associated with the scores obtained from interviews of job applicants and to estimate the generalizability and dependability coefficients within the framework of generalizability theory. Accordingly, the data on the job competency assessment scores of the applicants for the three positions of one the public universities were analyzed using a two-way, fully crossed design. Then, the regular sources of error, including the questions, interviewers and interaction of errors were determined and measured, with the help of which the generalizability and dependability coefficients of the scores were estimated. The findings suggest that generalizability and dependability coefficients of the assessment scores are not equal in all job interviews. Moreover, since the generalizability and dependability coefficients are less than expected, the mean assessment score of one job should not be the basis for decision-making for all the three job selections. Based on the results, it is suggested that, before the adoption of the interviewers' opinions about the merits of applicants, the generalizability and dependability coefficients of the scores be estimated using generalizability theory and if the coefficients are low, the job interview scores should not be the basis for decision-making.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale (PSRS, Schlotz, Yim, Zoccola, Jansen & Schulz, 2011) among Iranian university students. 324 university students (130 male, 194 female) completed the PSRS and the Emotional Adjustment Measure (EAM, Rubio, Aguado, Hontangas & Hernandez, 2007). The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to compute the PSRS's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Also, in order to examine the construct validity of the PSRS, we computed correlations between different dimensions of PSRS with emotional adjustment. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that 5-factor structure of the PSRS consisted reactivity to work overload, reactivity to social conflicts, reactivity to social stress, reactivity to failure and prolonged reactivity had good fit to data in the Iranian sample. Correlational analyses between different dimensions of PSRS with emotional adjustment provided initial evidence for the PSRS convergent validity. Cronbach’s α Coefficients ranged from 0/75 to 0/80 for six dimensions. In sum, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the PSRS as an instrument to measure of stress reactivity among Iranian university students.

Context: One of ways to prevent mental and behavioral problems, improving psychological capital is composed of four structures hope, optimism, resilience and self-efficacy. Aim: This study aims to construct and validate the scale of psychological capital for public Areas use and its relation to psychological well-being. Method: The research method is correlation, with the statistical population composed of all married people in Tehran, out of whom 520 individuals were selected using the multistep method. The employed scales include the researcher-developed 66-item scale, Luthans 24-item Scale of Psychological Capital (2007), and Ryff psychological Well-being 18-Item Short Form (1995). For the purpose of data analyses, IRT and first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis were adopted. In order to carry out IRT, the hypotheses of one-dimensionality and local independence were tested and measured by means of VSS, MAP and exploratory factor analysis. Then, five factors namely hopefulness, self efficacy, positive optimism, negative optimism, and resiliency were extracted by means of the first-order confirmatory factor analysis and model fit. In order to investigate whether these five factors were derived from a larger factor, i.e. psychological capital, or not, the second-order factor analysis was used. In order to measure the reliability, internal consistency was adopted as Cronbach's alpha and theta ordinal. Results: As a result of such analyses, the researcher-developed 66-item questionnaire was changed to the 44-item scale. the scale had highly and acceptably reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha = 0.945 and theta = 0.952) and Measuring convergent validity، the foregoing questionnaire is in positive، significant relation to Luthans Scale and Furthermore, a positive, significant relation was found between psychological well-being scale and its corresponding six factors. Conclusion: The results suggest that the researcher-developed scale is adequately reliable and valid for the purpose of measuring this construct in various social areas and fields.

Mobile phone is a technological tool that is becoming popular day by day in the community and for the public, and because of this, most people in the community are buying it. In order to manufacturing, designing and validating nomobophobia. Should be developed that can scale well-meaning concept of mobile comes in mind is the sense in which students describe and explain semantic differential as a complementary concept mobile phone. So the present research aims to study construction and psychometric properties of the semantic differential scale. In this way the researcher-made scale was administrated on 361 Tehran human sciences students and the results of factor analysis showed that this scale consists of 43 items that were reliable and valid. So we concluded that this scale can supplement the nomophobia questionnaire. The development and validation could well describe and explain by researcher. Developing and standardization of the mobile concept of semantic differentiation scale means
