Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to standardize the Emotion Control Questionnaire. The research method was developmental-analytical. The statistical population consisted of all adolescent girls and boys aged 15 years and older living in Tehran in 1400. Statistical sample based on the formula of Cohen, Manion and Morrison (2000) 300 people were selected by convenience sampling method. The Emotion Control Scale of Williams et al. (1997) was used to collect data. The results showed that the Anxiety and Positive Emotion Scale of Cronbach's alpha was less than 0.70 which reached an acceptable value by removing questions 14 and 16 from the Anxiety Scale and Question 2 from the Positive Emotion Scale. The standard factor load for each question of each factor was determined that the relationship between each question and its underlying factor should be more than its relationship with other factors, by removing questions 28, 22 and 6 from the anger scale, question 1 from the positive emotion scale And question 3 of the Depression Scale, all questions are significantly related to their underlying factor and it can be said that the measurement model was desirable during the evaluation of partial indicators. Acceptable values of factor loads also indicated a good fit of the model. Due to the amount of factor loads, all of which are higher than 0.40, the path coefficient was significant. Finally, the GOF value is equal to 0.682, which indicates a good fit of the model.
