        In recent decades, several approaches have been proposed regarding the formation of "quality of urban public spaces,« and various researches have been conducted in this field. However, what can be discerned so far is the lack of attention to the concept of integrative spatial quality and its holistic approach in the field of urban planning as "the basic elements of urban design.» This research explains the critical criteria of the process of forming an integrative spatial quality in urban public spaces. To achieve the purpose of the study, District 5 of Tehran Municipality, due to numerous public spaces in line with the research criteria of the article and the low age of construction, has been studied as a case study. Based on the theories, views, and researche identified in the framework of the mentioned purpose, five critical criteria are essential. The research method is analytical-descriptive. In reference to the contribution and role of this research, it can be emphasized that the foundation of integrative spatial quality in public spaces is only possible by simultaneous attention to allthe key Components: "physical,« "perceptual,» "social,« "environmental,» "functional."Thirty-three variables have considered further study and explanation of these five criteria regarding structural equations and validity and reliability. Thus, it is possible to design a 5-factor model in the field of measuring the quality of integrative spatial in public spaces, which at the same time is a fundamental step in developing a structural model at a higher level, the adequacy of this measurement model, due to various indicators, indicates that the model in question has an acceptable fit from the view of data coordination, including 220 samples with its factor structure. The main goal, part of which, by pursuing the question, "What criteria in the process of forming an integrative spatial quality in urban public spaces, what is their role and position?« is reflected in the present article. This research showed that the optimal quality of selected urban public spaces in this region was related to physical –aesthetic, and functional attributes. In addition, evaluation of this process, planning, and acting in order to enhance it should be considered accordingly based on this framework. Further specific studies on these factors and their effectiveness and relationships are issues that can be addressed in future research to clarify the theoretical findings. Every public space needs unique features; but based on the results, these suggestions are also presented to improve the quality of the urban area and its integration in the five districts of Tehran:The ability to access the communication structure of public spaces for the disabled and people with disabilitiesExecutive diversification of public spaces in accordance with seasonal changes, forming a network of connected public spaces that have interactive quality indicators and also invite individuals to establish sustainable social interactionMeaningful spaces and granting new uses such as restaurants, coffee shops, and more for the proper use of public spaces in the direction of dynamism, vitality, and prosperity.

        The increasing spread of financial crimes and the irreparable economic, and even social and cultural damage they cause, clearly illuminates the necessity of research and analysis in this area and to investigate the causes of such crimes. Therefore, the main issue in this research is the spread of financial crime and its concerns in Iranian society. The researcher seeks to understand financial crime economically and not from a sociological or criminological perspective. Therefore, the overall purpose of the present study is to design and test a model to explain and predict the causes of financial crime to prevent financial deviations. In this regard, a hybrid research approach was used which used the qualitative stage of the theory of grounded theory or the grounded theory and in the quantitative stage the descriptive-survey method. The qualitative findings were analyzed by MAXQDA software and at the end of the qualitative phase the conceptual model of financial crime was extracted. In the quantitative phase, the model was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling with PLS software. Model fit indices indicate that the data fits well with the conceptual model. In other words, quantitative data fits well with the conceptual model of research and confirms the qualitative data.

        The present study aimed at investigating the reliability and validity of the Power of Food Scale (PFS) (Lowe, Butryn, Didie, Annunziato, Thomas et al., 2009) among Iranian students. 701 students, as participants, completed PFS, external eating subscale of Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) (Van Strien, Frijters, Bergers & Defares, 1986) and the Restraint Scale (RS) (Herman & Polivy, 1980). To evaluate validity of the scale construct, confirmatory factor analysis was used. Also, Pearson correlation was used to establish convergent and discriminant validity between PFS and the External Eating subscale of DEBQ, and between PFS and RS. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the current model of PFS along with three subscales and a total aggregate score fit the data well. PFS Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88 and a four-month test-retest PFS score was 0.65. Also, correlations between PFS and External Eating Subscale of DEBQ (r=0.67 P < 0.01) PFS and RS (r=0.24 P < 0.01) indicated an appropriate convergent and discriminant validity. The Power of Food Scale (PFS) is a brief and useful tool developed to assess the psychological impact of today food-abundant environments. This scale can be used to study eating behavior and also differences between homeostatic and hedonic hunger. Manuscript profile

        The notion of teacher commitment has grabbed much attention in the mainstream, and L2 teacher education as teaching has become more complex by recent sociocultural changes in educational practices. Consequently, several instruments have been developed to operationalize the construct. The instruments developed so far have addressed the construct generically. To be sure, this line of inquiry is still untouched in the ELT profession. The present exploratory mixed methods study attempted to develop a questionnaire to measure English language teachers&rsquo; commitment. In doing so, an initial 61-item questionnaire was developed conducting a comprehensive literature review and using interviews with domain experts and English language teachers. Then the trial instrument was administered to a sample of 352 teachers for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), reducing the instrument to 32 items. The subsequent Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) obtained from another sample of 577 individuals substantiated a seven-factor model as a robust and valid tool for measuring English language teacher commitment. The seven-factor model of teacher commitment included cognitive language teaching ability, language classroom environment, job satisfaction, opportunities for professional development, language teaching planning and support, language teaching self-image and beliefs, and language teaching exhaustion. ELTCQ can be used for measuring English teachers&rsquo; commitment. Researchers, administrators, and teacher trainers can use the questionnaire to improve the quality of in-service courses and examine teacher qualities for future professional predictions.

For this purpose, 40 items associated with moral behavior were designed using the comments presented by six experts and tested along with the Big Five Personality Traits Inventory (BFI), Ethical Sensitivity Scale Questionnaire (ESSQ), and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) on 329 undergraduate students. The results of the exploratory factor analysis as well as the confirmatory factor analysis (after the removal of 8 items) supported the eight-factor structure of the MBI which includes respect to differences, being considerate, responsible behavior, helping behavior, humble behavior, aggressiveness, cheating&nbsp; behavior, and caring behavior. The evidences related to convergent validity and internal reliability indicated the psychometric capacities of MBI. On the whole, the results of the present study introduced the 32- item inventory of moral behavior as an appropriate tool for conducting research in the field of morality. Manuscript profile

        Mentoring is an effective way to promote women's training and professional development, as well as support and empower women and create positive organizational culture change. Historically, in our country, patriarchy is very evident in all social issues, especially in the workplace, and creating opportunities for women's advancement and transformation in organizations requires structural changes. One of the development approaches for women as a valuable strategy is mentoring. The current research has been carried out with the aim of highlighting the importance of mentoring as a mechanism of support and career advancement for women in the country's educational system. A combined method was used to collect data. The findings showed that the supporting factors and components of the model extracted from the confirmatory factor analysis of mentoring effective on the career development of female teachers in the first stage include mentoring characteristics (mentee and mentor), and in the next stage mentoring factors mentoring factors (interpersonal factors, cultural factors, organizational factors and macro factors). Mentoring strategies (individual strategies, organizational strategies and trans-organizational strategies) and mentoring consequences (individual consequences, organizational consequences and trans-organizational consequences) have also been investigated in the extracted model for newly hired female teachers.

        Productivity can be studied from different dimensions such as energy efficiency, capital, manpower, equipment, etc. Productivity of human resources is one of its most important dimensions and the correct use of other resources also depends on its productivity. Identifying and describing productivity indicators in different dimensions is one of the basic steps of productivity management. This is especially important in scientific and technological organizations. In the current study, the statistical population includes managers and experts of scientific and technological organizations. In this article, the mentioned indicators, with a sample size of 350 were reviewed through a questionnaire using qualitative methods of content analysis and content analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using MAXQDA, SPSS and AMOS software. The results revealed five general indicators: "effective and efficient planning", "financial and technological factors", "motivation, commitment and teamwork spirit","competitiveness and development" and "knowledge, skills and system thinking" as the most important indicators of human resource productivity in scientific and technological organizations. The indicator of knowledge, skills and system thinking has the lowest coefficient and that of effective and efficient planning has the highest coefficient in the final model. Accordingly, to increase the productivity of their human resources, scientific and technological organizations should pay special attention to team building skills, development of decentralized decision processes, strengthening the spirit of participation along with factors such as improving the quality of equipment, technologies and financial issues.

Participants completed the Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale (Pratcher et al., 2019), Basic Empathy Scale (Farrington, 2006), and Kessler& Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler et al., 2002 to examine convergent and divergent validity. For data analysis, the internal consistency method was used using Cronbach&#039;s alpha method, and for construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was used. The results of factor analysis showed that the Cronbach& alpha coefficient for the total score of the scale was 0.87 and for the sub-components of presence, awareness of self and others, non-judgmental acceptance and non-reactivity were 0.69, 0.83, 0.69 and 0.72, respectively. The interpersonal mindfulness scale showed a significant positive correlation with the basic empathy scale (0.429) and a negative correlation with psychological distress (-0.356). Based on the obtained results, interpersonal mindfulness can have positive relationship consequences in interpersonal interactions. In general, the Iranian version of the interpersonal mindfulness scale showed a 4-factor structure and good reliability and validity, and it can be used in various research. Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to examine the measurement invariance of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ, Garnefski, Kraaij &amp; Spinhoven, 2001) among male and female students. Three hundred and forty nine university students (182 females, 167 males) completed the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis was used to examinethe factorial invariance of the CERQ for both females and males. The results of single-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the nine-factor model of CERQ consisted of self-blame, acceptance, rumination, positive refocusing, refocus on planning, positive reappraisal, putting into perspective, catastrophizing and other-blame fit to the datafor the total sample and also for male and female groups, independently. The results of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated cross-group invariance of measurement residuals, structural covariances and regression weights of the CERQ for both male and female. The findings suggested that multiple factors of the CERQ were perceived equally across the two gender. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        this study was aimed to test the invariance of factorial structure of the Identity Style Inventory (ISI; Berzonsky, 1992) in 15&ndash; 17 year olds adolescents. The sample consisted of 376 high school students (181 males, 195 females). The ISI was adminestered to the participants. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the cross-group validity or invariance of factorial structure of ISI among males and females studying in first, second and third grades of high school. The results of single-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that both the three-factor structure of identity styles ( informational identity, normative identity, and diffuse avoidant identity) and the mono-factor structure of identity commitment fit the data in an acceptable level for males and females and the three grade subgroups. The results of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated crossgroup invariance of factor structure, factor loadings, and factor variances and covariances of the ISI in gender and grade subgroups. Emphasizing the group invariance of factorial structure of ISI, these findings indicate that ISI is a promising tool for measuring identity styles in gender and grade subgroups. Manuscript profile

        T his study assessed the reliability and validity of Quality of Life Scale for patients with diabetes (D-39, Boyer &amp; Earp, 1997). 263 female and 197 male diabetic patients (age range 20-60 years) of the Iranian Diabetes Society completed the D- 39 and psychological well-being subscale of the Mental Health Inventory (Besharat, 1388). The coefficients of internal consistency and test-retest reliability, done in a 4 week interval, were 0.89 and 0.75 respectively. Results of principle component analysis using Promax rotation and confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the structure of the D-39 scale contains the following factors: diabetes control, energy and mobility, social burden, anxiety and worry, diabetes complications and other illnesses, and sexual functioning. These factors accounted for almost 64% of the variance. A significant negative correlation between the total score of the D-39, scores from its extracted sub-factors and the psychological well-being subscale of Mental Health Inventory confirmed the convergent validity of the scale. Differences among factors in the original scale and the Farsi version are discussed based on the age range of patients.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The present study aimed to test psychometric properties of the Young Children's Appraisals of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC-Y; McDonald &amp;Grych, 2006) among students&nbsp; between the ages of 9 and 11. One hundred and sixty two elementary school students (104 boys, 54 girls) completed the Young Children's Appraisals of Interparental Conflict Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y; Beck, Beck, Jolly &amp; Steer, 2005). The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to investigate the CPIC-Y factorial validity and internal consistency, respectively. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported three-factor structure of conflict properties, threat, and self-blame. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that multidimensional structure of CPIC-Y was an acceptable measurement model. The significant positive correlations of all three CPIC-Y scales with depression provided support for the CPIC-Y convergent validity. Internal consistencies of the CPIC-Y scales were good. The findings suggested that CPIC-Y was an appropriate measure for assessing specific dimensions of interparental conflict in a sample of Iranian children. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Achievement Goal Questionnaire- Revised (AGQ-R, Elliot &amp; Murayama, 2008) among Iranian male and female university students. 332 students (141 male and 191 female) completed the AGQ-R, the Schoolwork Engagement Inventory (SEI, Salmela-Aro &amp; Upadaya, 2012) and the School Burnout Inventory (SBI, Salmela-Aro, Kiuru, Leskinen &amp; Nurmi, 2009). The confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group confirmatory factor analysis methods were used to compute the AGQ-R's factorial validity and its gender invariance, respectively. The results of confirmatory factor analysis based AMOS software showed that the fore factor model of AGQ-R (mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach and performance-avoidance) fit well to the data across two groups. The results of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis revealed the cross-group invariance of factorial structure, factor loadings, and factor variances and covariance&rsquo;s of the AGQ-R across male and female university students. Internal consistency for the different types of achievement goals consisting of mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals was 0/76, 0/78, 0/90 &amp; 0/85, respectively. In sum, the findings emphasizing the group invariance of factorial structure of AGQ-R in male and female students suggested that it measured the same construct in these two groups. On the other hand, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the AGQ-R to measure achievement goals in the 2&times;2 conceptual framework in both sexes. Manuscript profile
