To check the validity, the factor analysis was used and structures and components on this scale with (KMO) index and Bartlett were investigated. The validity of the results of KMO= 0.902 and Bartlett was equal to 4561.295 and factor analysis showed that by eliminating a factor due to low load factor, the questionnaire consists of six main factors was saturated. These six factors (the rule of law and obedience to law, social Solidarity and integration, providing opportunities for growth and security, the development of human capabilities, the fair and adequate payment, overall living space) determined 62.134% of the variance of variables.
