Abstract: (401 Views)
This study examined the short scale psychometric properties of areas of worry in the Iranian students. In this descriptive-survey research 250 students between the ages (19 to 47) and mean of 25.16 ± 4.30 selected with cluster class sampling from the students of Hamadan Islamic Azad University and they answered to "areas of worry", "meta-cognitive beliefs", “pervasive anxiety” and “Penn State worry". Cronbach Alpha Coefficient (0.78), "Concurrent validity" (Cognitive beliefs, 0.28), "Criterion validity" (Penn State worry, 0.19) were all in the significant of p < 0.01. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the 10-item scale of “areas of worry” in the Iranian population has four factors instead of five factors in foreign studies and together they could explain 76% of the scale variance. Therefore, the questionnaire of areas of worry is a valid and reliable tool for measuring worry.
