Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability   of  adult self expression scale  and relationship between   Self Expression and   quality of   interpersonal relationship on male and female teachers of Qazvin in the academic year of 2017-2016. Sample consists of 400 teachers selected randomly cluster sampling. The   data gathering tool included self-disclosure scale-the adult forms of Hollandsworth‚  Galassi & Gay   (1977), the quality of interpersonal relationships, Pierce, Sarason, & Sarason (1991), and  Rathus assertivness Schedule  (1973). To analyze the data and   to investigate the research hypotheses, exploratory and confirmatory research   was applied, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression were used. The   results of Cronbach's alpha coefficient and point-to-point coefficient showed   that 33 of 47 questions were eliminated due to lack of clean factor higher   than 0.20 and the standardized Cronbach's alpha coefficient for 14 questions   was calculated 0.78. Exploratory factor analysis by main component analysis   and varimax rotation method showed that the self-detection scale has one   factor, and this is a factor with a specific value of 3.65, alone, reveals   26.04% of the variance of the test.The results of the first factor analysis   also showed the validity of the scale structure. The results of Pearson   correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive and significant   relationship between self-disclosure and quality of relationship with   parents, quality of relationship with each other, overall score of the   quality of interpersonal relationships. The results of self-regression   self-disclosure on the quality of interpersonal relationships revealed that   0.014% of the variance in the quality of the relationship with the parents,   0.12% of the variance of the quality of the relationship with the spouse, and   0.018 of the variance of the quality of the relationship between, are   explained through self-disclosure.
