To do so, a group of 1416 students were selected. Population of the study included all students of the universities of Mashhad city, Khorasan Province, in the academic year 2017. These subjects were selected through multistage cluster sampling method. Participants filled the questionnaires of PPTQ, FQ and DAS-24. Alpha Cronbach and confirmatory factor analysis were used for determining the reliability and validity of the questionnaire respectively.

Therefore, based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that 21-item PPTQ can be reliable and valid enough in Iranian students.
