Abstract

The aim of the present study was to develop a Persian version of Jackson’s five factor questionnaire and to assess its reliability and validity in the Iranian society.Following the preparation of the Persian version of Jackson’s five factor questionnaire through using double translation technique, it was administrated on 308 subjects (174 males and 134 females). The reliability of questionnaire was assessed via internal consistency, item-rest correlations and test-retest methods. In addition, the validity of the scale was investigated using factor analysis, correlations between subscales and criterion validity methods. Cronbach’s alphas range (0.72 to 0.88), test-retest coefficients (0.64 to 0.78)) and test-retest correlations (0.28 to 0.68) suggested good reliability of the Persian version of Jackson’s five factor questionnaire. Confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis supported the original five factor model of questionnaire. The internal relations between the subscales were appropriate (0.11 to 0.53). Finally, existence of special correlation patterns between subscales of the questionnaire and positive affect, negative affect, behavior inhibition / activation systems scale, Eysenck’s personality dimensions and Barrett’s impulsivity dimensions indicated good validity of the scale.The results of this research showed that the Persian version of Jackson’s five factor questionnaire had suitable factor structure, reliability and validity in the Iranian society.

Abstract

This research is aimed to examine reliability and validity of the questionnaire which was about individuals' viewpoints on medical help-seeking. The method used in this study was test-type standardization; therefore, a descriptive, survey-type method has been applied. The statistical population includes 1100 students majoring in Psychology, studying at Payam-e- Noor University, South Tehran Branch, in 2016. A convenience-sampling method was used in this study, and 220 students were chosen out of the population mentioned. Cronbach 's Alpha Coefficient method was applied for data analysis; test-duplication was administered to assess validity. In order to examine the questionnaire’s reliability, both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and correlation coefficient were used. The amount obtained for Cronbach’s Alpha was 85%, and the amounts for re-examination and test duplication were .85 and .75respectively, thus it could be concluded that the questionnaire has an acceptable reliability. Both construct validity and concurrent validity were used to examine the questionnaire’s reliability. it can be said that the questionnaire has an appropriate validity based on variance scale. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the obtained factors make a significant model with their own elements and are properly acceptable. In this study, both construct and concurrent reliability were used to investigate the correlation between medical help-seeking and help-seeking behavior in general. According to the results obtained from The Pearson Correlation Coefficient, there has been a significant relationship between help-seeking and help-seeking behavior.

Abstract

Psychological flexibility is a multidimensional trait that plays an important role in many areas of life, including mental health. Given the role of psychological flexibility, researchers have been interested in examining this feature, but do not have the tools to specifically measure psychological flexibility. The purpose of this research is to analyse the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire so that in the absence of a short and specific scale for measuring psychological flexibility, it can help measure this feature in psychological research. For this purpose, 400 male and female students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad participated in this study in the academic year of 2019-2020 using the multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the construct’s validity and calculate the reliability of Cronbach's alpha. Factor analysis showed that this questionnaire has 5 factors, which are: positive interpretation of change, defining oneself as a flexible person, identifying oneself as an open and creative person, interpreting reality as dynamic and changeable, and interpreting reality as multidimensional. Agents together accounted for 59.83% of the variance of the entire questionnaire. The internal consistency of the items of the Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire was 0.89, which indicates the desired reliability of this questionnaire. Based on the results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis in this study, the Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire has acceptable validity and reliability regarding students.

Abstract

Pain is one of the abstract concepts in the field of health psychology, which is expressed with conceptual metaphors. Persian-language speakers, like other languages, apply different source domains and mappings. The purpose of this study was to design, make and evaluate the psychometric characteristics of a pain metaphorical perception questionnaire in Persian-speaking patients with chronic diseases. The method of this study was descriptive and psychometric and it was a survey type of research. based on the cognitive analysis of Raiisi's pain metaphors(2021), nine metaphorical mappings were extracted, which were respectively object, causality, path and direction, human, place, taste, container, force, and circle. Based on source domains, a questionnaire with25 questions was created using a Likert response scale. The content validity of questions was evaluated by3 cognitive linguistics experts,2 health psychologists,3 physicians, and2 psychometric experts. the questionnaire was completed availability and voluntarily by 250 monolingual Persian-speaking patients with chronic diseases in2022-2023. The results indicated that there was a reliability coefficient by using Cronbach's alpha for the whole questionnaire and its components. the result of the factor analysis showed that this questionnaire consists of four factors including object, force, human, and causality, which explain24.66% of the total variance of the factors.
