Abstract

Abstract
Introduction: Values are central elements of the personality and constructive blocks of good life and are considered as criteria for guiding thought and practice. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the portrait values questionnaire.
Method: This research was a descriptive-analytic study that was a confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis. The sample consisted of 300 student teachers in Tehran who were selected by available sampling method and completed Portrait Values Questionnaire and value in action.
Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed ten factors which in total, explained 12.43% of the total variance of the questionnaire. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed ten factors which in total, explained 74/12% of the total variance of the questionnaire. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis, in addition to confirming the results of exploratory factor analysis, showed that these ten factors ultimately affect the two factors of general orientation social- focused and person-focused.  The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained by Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.91) and test-retest test (0.89). Also, the positive relationship between the factors of this questionnaire and the values in action questionnaire confirmed the convergent validity of the questionnaire.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study showed that this questionnaire has good psychometric properties for measuring personal values in non-clinical group.
