“…There are no differences in regard to these orientations between the two age categories as well. These results are supported by the study of Ghorbani et al (2003). Also, perhaps Iranian respondents are balancing their work-life while socializing to meet their collective-orientation needs since the results of this study indicate that the level of overload stress among this observed group of Iranians is not very high.…”

“…Therefore, it is not unexpected to discover some changes in the Hofstede dimensions in Iran context. For example, a study by Ghorbani et al (2003) demonstrated that the relationships of individualist and collectivist values with commitment, empathic concern and perspective-taking were similar across the two samples of Iranian and American respondents. Moreover, it could not find a significant difference among male and female Iranian in this regard.…”

“…Persian versions of all but the Subjective Well-Being Scale were used with previous Iranian samples and proved to be clearly valid (e.g., Ghorbani et al 2002;Ghorbani et al 2003a;Ghorbani et al 2004). …”

Mindfulness in Iran and the United States: Cross-Cultural Structural Complexity and Parallel Relationships with Psychological Adjustment

In theory, mindfulness has a role to play in resolving intercultural conflicts. This suggestion rests upon the relatively untested presumption that mindfulness operates similarly across cultures. In a test of this presumption, university students from two countries that are often in conflict at the governmental level, Iran (N=723) and the United States (N=900), responded to the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown and Ryan Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 84(4): 2003), along with an array of other psychological measures. This Mindfulness Scale displayed structural complexities in both societies, but a measurement invariant subscale was nevertheless identified. Similar cross-cultural evidence of concurrent validity was obtained in relationships with wide-ranging measures of adjustment. Nonsignificant linkages with Public Self-Consciousness and Self-Monitoring demonstrated discriminant validity in both societies. These data identified mindfulness as a cross-culturally similar psychological process that could plausibly have a role in resolving intercultural conflicts.

“…Meaningful contrasts between original and back-translated statements were rare and easily resolved. Psychometric adequacy of all Persian measures but the NPI was established with previous Iranian samples (e.g., Ghorbani et al 2003aGhorbani et al , 2004Ghorbani et al , 2008Watson et al 2002).…”

Self-Knowledge and Narcissism in Iranians: Relationships with Empathy and Self-Esteem

Self-knowledge is a Muslim psychological ideal, but social theory suggests that the dynamics of narcissism and self-esteem may challenge the stability of Muslim society. In Iranian university students, an Integrative Self-Knowledge Scale displayed relationships with narcissism, self-esteem, and empathy that reflected relative mental health; and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory included factors that pointed toward adjustment as well as maladjustment. Evidence that narcissism predicted positive forms of self-functioning was more obvious in men than in women. Outcomes further confirmed that self-knowledge is as an adaptive process in Iran and that narcissism and self-esteem may have noteworthy implications for understanding Muslim society.
