Abstract: (1885 Views)
Aim and Background: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the psychometric indicators of Burt & Donnellan's antisocial behavior questionnaire in Iranian adolescents.
Methods and Materials: The research method was a descriptive-correlation type. The statistical population included all high school students in Shiraz. A sample of 567 (342 girls and 22 boys) students was selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. The measurement tools were Burt & Donnellan's (STAB) antisocial behavior questionnaires, Aquino and Reed's moral identity, and Flores-Camacho et al.'s (BSVT-11) tendency to revenge. The data was analyzed using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software. In order to analyze the data, exploratory factor analysis and principal components method using varimax rotation were used.
Findings: The findings showed this questionnaire consists of three components: physical aggression, social aggression, and breaking the law. In order to measure the three-factor structure, confirmatory factor analysis was used and findings showed the fit indices of the three-factor model of antisocial behaviors have an acceptable fit with the data. Cronbach's alpha coefficients had acceptable values. Finally, in order to examine the divergent and convergent validity, the simultaneous implementation of the questionnaires of moral identity and tendency to revenge was used. The findings showed the current questionnaire has a negative and significant relationship with the moral identity questionnaire and a positive and significant relationship with the tendency to revenge.
Conclusions: As a result, it can be said the current questionnaire has adequate reliability and validity and can evaluate antisocial behavior and its components in Iranian culture and society. Also, this questionnaire can be used in various educational and research situations.
