        Studying technological and economical specialization in the prehistoric societies, as well as the way of understanding the same specialization, their measurements and Scales from the remaining evidences have faced a large number of difficulties. The term 'specialization' as a significant subject along with the economy of the prehistoric societies has long been regarded by anthropologists and archaeologists. The definition of the term, its origins, and the archaeological interpretation of this form of production organization has always been focused since 1960s. Archaeological researchers might lose the track in their interpretations of data without having clear standards for recognizing specialization lacking a lucid understanding of the term. Archaeologists delineate the origins of specialization using three models: 1. Commercial development model, 2. Adaptive model, 3. Political model. The given models indicate different approaches to the concept of studying specialization in archaeology. Such approaches are connected to the cultural, social, and economical evolution in prehistoric societies. In this paper, the concept and facets of craft specialization, production organization, standardization, styles, labor investment, the standards and methods of specialization have been concentrated.  Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to standardize the Relationship Beliefs Questionnaire (RBQ; Romance & DeBord, 1995) and to investigate irrational beliefs about marital relationships in an Iranian population. Data provided by 535 married Iranian participants (244 males and 291 females), completing the RBQ, resulted in omitting 13 items due to low item total correlation and factor loadings. Cronbach's alpha for the remaining 58 items scale and test-retest reliability were 0.95 and 0.93 respectively. The result of explanatory factor analysis using oblique rotation method showed that the scale included seven factors, including expectations to: a) be perfect in a marital relationship, b) be interdependent, c) have monogamous relations, d) be devoted, e) be rational and open to each other, f) read each other’s mind, and g) be aware of each others past thoughts, feelings and needs. The extracted factors confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. A positive correlation (r = 0.32, P < 0.01) between RBQ and the Irrational Beliefs Test (Jones, 1968) supported the convergent validity. No university educated participants showed more irrational beliefs than did more educated participants. There were no gender or age differences in irrational beliefs about marital relationships. The length of marriage and number of children also were not correlated to such irrational beliefs. The standardized scores of RBQ measures are presented.      Manuscript profile

        In order to construct and standardize a School Maladjustment Scale, 405 students (261 girls, 144 boys) were selected from junior high schools of City of Tehran by cluster sampling method. The participants completed the School Maladjustment Scale. Examining the item-total correlation led to elimination of 23 items. The results of principle components analysis and varimax rotation indicated that 24 items had factor loading less than 0.3, so these items were eliminated. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient for 88 item scale was 0.979. The results of factor analysis led to extraction of six factors: 1) academic indifference and lack of attention, 2) inappropriate behaviors toward teachers and classmates, 3) destructive and indiscipline behaviors, 4) bullying and antisocial behaviors, 5) deception and violation of rules, and 6) withdrawal and victimization by bullies, which explained 57.80 percent of the total variance. The concurrent validity of the scale using comparison to the Student Adjustment Inventory (Sinha & Singh, 1993) was 0.405. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 6-factor model was supported by more than seven fit indices. All of the six components yielded high reliability coefficient Manuscript profile

The purpose of this study was standardizing the WISC-R in 15 years old children.Method: This research was descriptive. 120 subjects (60 girls and 60 boys) were selected by random sampling in three age groups (4 months apart). Descriptive statistics parameters of raw scores of sub-scales were calculated and raw scores were converted to standard scores using non-linear transformation using Z table. The standard scores of each subscale were converted linearly to a scaled score with an average of 10 and standard deviation of 3 ss=((z*3)+10) . Reliability of verbal, performance and total subscales were evaluated the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The mean of verbal, performance and total intelligence was calculated.Results: For each of age groups obtained convert tables for transformation raw scores to scaled scores. The mean and standard deviation of row scores in all three age groups were calculated in 12 subscales. Using the scores of the 10 original subscales, the average of verbal, performance and the full scale intelligence respectively were VIQ=96.93, PIQ=97.12 FSIQ=96.69. The average relibility (Cronbach's alpha) of the verbal, performance and total subscales respectively were α=0.82, 0.71, 0.84. Conclusion: Regarding these results, it can be stated that WISC-R can be used to determine the intelligence in 15 years old students and until the standardization of the latest versions of WISC conversion tables can be used by counselors, psychologists for this age group.

        Excitement is a personal trait that causes people to show different emotional reactions in similar situations. The quantitative data collection part of the present study is a quantitative research that descriptive research methods of normative type will be used. In this study, the excitability scale for appropriate subsequent measurements in Iran; Was standardized. Therefore, this research is an applied research. The results showed that the overall average of excitement in teaching was higher in female teachers than male teachers. In the present study, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to calculate the reliability of the Excitement Questionnaire in the teaching of elementary teachers. The Cronbach's alpha range was between the boredom subscale (0.902) and the pride and pleasure subscale (0.537). Cronbach's alpha for general excitement is 0.875, which indicates the reliability of the questionnaire for teachers. Confirmatory factor analysis method was used to measure the excitement in the teaching of elementary teachers. For this purpose, to determine the suitability of the data for factor analysis, KMO coefficient and Bartlett test were used, which showed the suitability of the sample for research. The results showed that five factors with eigenvalues higher than 2 were extracted, which explained 55.365% of the total variance of the factors. Manuscript profile
