Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the self-interpretation scale, including the study of factor, reliability and narrative structure, in order to prepare the test for psychological and sociological research. Methodology: The present research method was correlational in terms of how to collect descriptive information and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population of the study included all male and female students in mathematics-physics and experimental sciences in the second and third grades of high school in Karaj in the academic year of 1996-97; The research sample consisted of 400 students (148 boys and 252 girls) in high school in mathematics, physics, and experimental sciences, who were selected by multistage cluster sampling and self-interpretation scale (Hardin, Leung, & Bagot, 2004). They were tested. Results: The results of this study showed that in the confirmatory factor analysis, the structure of the fit scale is acceptable with the data and the good fitness indicators confirm the model. The reliability of the scale was calculated and confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficients and sequential theta for the sample group. In general, the findings of factor analysis were almost similar to the research conducted in the main culture and the reliability and reliability coefficients were close to the results of previous research. Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, it can be concluded that this scale has a good validity and reliability in the Iranian student community and can be used to measure self-interpretation levels.

The present research was designed and conducted by the aim of investigating The Role of Self-Construl in predicting social problem solving ability in university students. The present study used a descriptive/correlational method. Population of this study included all students who were studying in the University Kharazmi in the academic year of 2017-2018. Among the statistical population, 325 students were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. The subjects completed Self construal questionnaire of Hardin, Leong & Bhagwat, and social problem solving ability questionnaire of D’Zurilla and Nezu. The data analysis was conducted by using Pearson correlation test and step-by-step multiple regression method in SPSS v23. Results of Pearson correlation test suggested that there is positive and significant relationship between dependent Self-Construl and Independent Self-Construl with social problem solving ability. Results of step-by-step multiple regressions indicated that dependent Self-Construl and Independent Self-Construl could positively and significantly predict students' social problem solving ability. According to research findings, the self-construl factor as a cultural construct should be considered in predicting the students' social problem solving ability.
