Abstract :
Psychometric Properties of the Persian Version of Drivers Questionnaire in Iranian Students AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to prepare a Persian version of the Drivers Questionnaire (Winfield, Edwards, and Reddy, 2012) and to investigate its psychometric properties among university students. The research method was testing and its statistical population was all undergraduate, master and Ph.D. students of Tehran, Al-zahra and Azad universities in 2020. Of these, 287 were selected through available sampling. The data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha indices, composite reliability, content validity index, content validity ratio, and confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha was 0.60 for all drivers’ Questionnaire standards. Also, the composite reliability scores 88%. CVR was more than 62% and CVI more than 79%, indicating good content validity of the scale. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that factor loadings were greater than 0.3 and all paths from items to hidden variables were significant at the .001 level and the scale had appropriate construct validity. CMIN/DF 1/83 (p=.001); GFI 0.92, CFI 0.91, NFI 0.90, and RMSEA 0.54 were within acceptable thresholds. Given the desirable psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Drivers Questionnaire, it can be suggested to psychologists and counselors in research and diagnostic situations.Keywords: Accreditation, Factor Analysis, Psychometric Assessment, Drivers Questionnaire
