The study sample is Noghan Neighborhood in Mashhad .The statistical population includes all heads of households in Noghan neighborhood (about 300 people) and 169 of them were selected by random sampling.The results indicate that according the exploratory factor analysis and the repetition of five factors in it, it shows the appropriate validity of this model, and the parameters of the confirmatory factor analysis shown that the model has an acceptable fit.
