Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the confirmatory factor structure and validation of wife abuse Questionnaire in sample women of subclinical. Methods The study is cross-sectional and Married women's Mashhad city of formed the study population. Sample size of 671 women was selected by Availability sampling and the Qahari wife abuse Questionnaire with questionnaires Beck depression inventory, Sherer Self-Efficacy Scale and CTS-R questions given to was applied in the sample. Results The results of confirmatory factor analysis support three factors. The Investigate Criterion validity by Pearson correlation coefficient in the wife abuse Questionnaire with The Beck depression inventory and Sherer Self-efficacy Scale, were between 0.31 and 0.45 and also convergent validity with Revised Conflict Tactics Scale, 60.0 correlation coefficient was obtained than are very satisfactory. A significant difference between the factor of questionnaire wife abuse in the women of divorce and non-divorce showed that the questionnaire has features of validity discrimination. The results of Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the Cronbach's alpha for the total questionnaire and factors were between 87.0 and 95.0 that was satisfactory.

The present study developed the revised version of the Parent-Adolescent Conflict Issues Checklist (PACIC) by completing the judgment stage of systemic content validity. In the first study, to examine the necessity and relevance of each item, 40 experts were selected through a purposeful method. After the judgment stage, 92 items were reduced to 47 items and 13 factors. In the second study, to assess the confirmatory factor analysis, adolescent girls and boys aged 12–18 years completed the checklist ( N = 1350, mean age 15.4 years, girls 50.1%); also, the Youth Self-Report Scale (YSR), Adolescents' Perceived Family Collective Efficacy Scale (EFCP/A), and the Conflict Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) were applied to assess concurrent validity, and to establish convergent validity, respectively. The obtained results supported the reconstructed model, and the items went well with the specified factors. The study achieved concurrent and convergent validity. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients between 0.78 and 0.86 showed that this instrument has excellent internal consistency; moreover, PACIC-R has measurement invariance across gender; thus, PACIC-R can be applied to assess the issues of parent-adolescent conflict and the challenges of families as well.
