| Summary: | Evidence shows that persistence is considered as a fundamental aspect to achieve goals in developmental situation Due to the lack of access to a reliable tool to measure this strength focused on purposeful efforts in the Iranian sample, the present study was conducted with the aim of adapting and standardizing the motivational persistence scale among students.In this correlational study, 400 students who were selected using the convenience sampling method, were answered the Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire ( Zajacova, Lynch & Espenshade, 2005) , the Achievement Emotion Questionnaire-Revised( Abdollahpour, 2015) and the Motivational Persistence Scale (Constantin, Holman & Hojbotă, 2011) . The results of statistical method of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three factor model of Motivational Persistence Scale including long-term purposes pursuing, current purpose pursuing and recurrence of unattained purposes had fit well to the data. The results related to the correlation between aspects of motivational persistence with positive and negative progress emotions and self-efficacy beliefs provided evidence in defense of the criterion validity of this scale. the internal consistency coefficients of the subscales the long-term purposes pursuing, current purpose pursuing and recurrence of unattained purposes subscales was 0/90, 0/89 & 0/87 . In sum, the results of this research, by repeating the factor structure consisting of three components, on the one hand, support from strength of theoretical foundation of Motivational Persistence Scale, and the other hand, these findings provide further psychometric evidence for the Motivational Persistence Scale and support the utility of the questionnaire in Iranian students. |
