Abstract: (31 Views)
This study aimed to examine the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Persian version of the Brief Mentalizing Scale among Iranian students. For this purpose, 400 students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz were selected through stratified random sampling in the academic year 2024-2025 and completed the Mentalizing Scale (FIMI, Klatterbuck et al., 2021). The scale’s factor structure was assessed via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha, and convergent and divergent validity were examined using the Empathy Questionnaire (EQ, Davis, 1983), the 14-item Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ, Fonagy & Luyten, 2016), the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNES, Leary, 1983), and subscales of the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS, Collins, 1996). All CFA indices, including CFI, RMSEA, NFI, TLI, and GFI, indicated a good model fit. The scale's Cronbach’s alpha was 0.86, demonstrating satisfactory internal consistency. Pearson correlations between the total score of this scale and the EQ, RFQ, and measures of divergent validity (BFNES and attachment subscales) were significant at p < 0.001, confirming acceptable convergent and divergent validity. Thus, the Persian version of the Mentalizing Scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing mentalizing in Iranian populations.
