“…To evaluate normality, it is helpful to assess both univariate (for Outliers and Skewness and Kurtosis) and multivariate normality using Mardia’s coefficient of multivariate kurtosis whereby a Mardia’s coefficient > 8 indicates deviation of multivariate normality (Raoprasert & Islam, 2010). Multivariate outliers can be evaluated using Mahalanobis distance ( p < .001; Harrington, 2008; Tabachnick & Fidell, 2013).…”

There is a need to better understand the measurement of hope within a variety of cross-cultural contexts and older population. The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric characteristics of the Persian translation of the Herth Hope Index (HHI-Persian). This study used a sample of 500 Iranian older people in Iran. Psychometric properties of the HHI-Persian were evaluated using face, content, and construct validity. The construct validity of the instrument was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability assessed is within the acceptable range. Construct validity of the scale showed two factors explaining 49.22% of the variance. Internal consistency of 12 items was greater than .70. The HHI-Persian is a short, reliable, and valid assessment scale of hope in older people. The article ends with suggestions for further research.

Psychometric Properties of the Death Anxiety Scale-Extended among Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease

This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of Death Anxiety Scale-Extended (DAS-E). A total of 507 patients with end-stage renal disease completed the DAS-E. The factor structure of the scale was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis with an oblique rotation and confirmatory factor analysis. The content and construct validity of the DAS-E were assessed. Average variance extracted, maximum shared squared variance, and average shared squared variance were estimated to assess discriminant and convergent validity. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α = .839 and .831), composite reliability (CR = .845 and .832), Theta (θ = .893 and .867), and McDonald Omega (Ω = .796 and .743). The analysis indicated a two-factor solution. Reliability and discriminant validity of the factors was established. Findings revealed that the present scale was a valid and reliable instrument that can be used in assessment of death anxiety in Iranian patients with end-stage renal disease.
