Abstract
The purpose of the current research was to build a scale for measuring moral values based on the theoretical strategies of Imam Ali (a.s.) in Nahj al-Balagha and to examine its psychometric properties. After designing the model of moral values based on Islamic sources, especially Nahj al-Balaghe, a questionnaire of 47 questions on the Likert scale was designed to measure these values. In the following, content and construct validity, factor analysis method and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to check the psychometric properties of the designed questionnaire. In order to examine the psychometric characteristics of the 47-question questionnaire, this questionnaire was implemented on a population of 100 girls aged 21-23 years old in Isfahan city, who were selected by convenience sampling. Data were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Cronbach's alpha. The results showed that the model questionnaire of moral values based on the theoretical strategies of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagheh has reliability (0.979). The evaluation of the confirmatory factor analysis model showed that the moral values questionnaire based on the theoretical strategies of Imam Ali (a.s.) in Nahj al-Balagheh has an acceptable fit. The simultaneous validity of this test with the list of moral values of Muslim youth has been obtained through Pearson correlation (0.623). Therefore, the developed test has the necessary psychometric properties.
