Since the introduction of the Internet, the pace of changes in life has increased significantly. Addiction to the Internet can cause fundamental changes in human life. Due to the importance of the subject in this research, the psychometric properties of Young's Internet Addiction Questionnaire and its relationship with Basic psychological needs were determined. The statistical population is the students of Roudehen University in 1400, of which 481 people were investigated by multi-stage random sampling method. Young's Internet Addiction Questionnaire and Desi and Ryan's Basic Psychological Needs Questionnaire were used to measure the research variables. SPSS and AMOS software were used for data analysis. Cronbach's alpha coefficient value of 0.928 of the whole internet addiction test showed that the internal consistency and in other words the validity of the questionnaire is very high. In order to analyze the factors, an exploratory factor analysis was performed, as a result of which, three factors of tolerance were extracted as the first factor, salience as the second factor, and mood change as the third factor. Finally, the structural model of the relationship between basic psychological needs and Internet addiction was fitted and the inverse and significant relationship between basic psychological needs and Internet addiction was determined. Also, a significant relationship was found between all components of basic psychological needs and internet addiction with the main variable. Manuscript profile

self-efficacy beliefs refer to individuals’ beliefs about their capabilities to successfully carry out a particular course of action. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric indices of teacher’s self-efficacy questionnaire (Schwann-Moran & Wolfowlk, 2001). The population of the study consisted of 220 teachers from secondary schools in the third district of Mashhad which were randomly selected by cluster sampling. All of them answered a teacher’s self-efficacy, an emotional intelligence, and job satisfaction questionnaire. Structural validity was verified through factor analysis, convergent validity was verified through correlation with emotional intelligence and job satisfaction scores, and validity was assessed by Cronbach's alpha method. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the data with three factor structure, including participation of learners in academic affairs, the effectiveness of training strategies and efficiency in classroom management had acceptable fit to data in the teacher’s sample. The convergent validity of self-efficacy questionnaire was confirmed by emotional intelligence and job satisfaction questionnaires. In general, self-efficacy questionnaire has appropriate validity and is appropriate for measuring self-efficacy in the teachers’ community. Manuscript profile

This article is a part of development-applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey type in terms of data collection method. The statistical population included all gifted and ordinary high school students in Isfahan in the academic year of 1397-98. Cluster random sampling method was used and 400 people were tested individually with a questionnaire to assess the level of wisdom of adolescent students (WMQ).

The aim of this study was to investigate the factor validity and reliability of the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire and its relationship with the quality of life of nurses. This questionnaire was developed by Zemit et al. (2008). For this purpose, 355 male and female nurses were randomly selected from public hospitals in Tehran. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its factor validity. Consistent with the results of Zamit et al.'s (2008) study, the present study showed that this questionnaire has acceptable internal consistency and Cronbach's alpha coefficients in its subscales are between 0.79 and 0.90. Also, the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis confirm that the structure of the questionnaire has an acceptable fit with the data and all goodness indicators of the fit confirm the model. The results also showed that the components of friends, family and society have a positive and significant relationship with quality of life and its dimensions. Physical and mental health and quality of life in general had a positive and significant relationship with all dimensions of perceived social support (P <0.05).
