Abstract

Introduction: Existential thinking is defined as the tendency to explore the fundamental question of existence and is the candidate for inclusion as a ninth intelligence in the classification of Gardner's Multiple intelligences, Due to the lack of a valid tool for measuring the structure of Existential thinking in Iranian society, this study was designed to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Existential thinking scale. Method: To this aim, in a survey study, 250 students of Al-Zahra and Shahed universities in the 2016-2017 academic year were selected by available sampling method. All participants completed the Existential thinking scale (SET), death anxiety scale (DAS), existential anxiety questionnaire and spiritual intelligence self-report inventory (SISRI-24). Data analysis were performed by factor analysis, Pearson correlation and Cronbach's alpha coefficient in SPSS V. 23 and Amos. The validity of the Existential thinking Scale was measured by construct validity and concurrent validity. To evaluate the reliability of the scale, the method of calculating the internal consistency coefficient and the one-month retest method were used. Results: The findings showed that the internal consistency coefficient for the whole scale is 0. 88 and the correlation coefficient of the test retest is 0. 75. Exploratory factor analysis suggested that the scale is a single factor, and the concurrent validity was confirmed by positive and significant correlation of the scale with the scores of the Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire and the Critical Existential thinking subscale, and by negative and significant correlation with the scores of the Existential Anxiety Questionnaire. Discussion and conclusion: SET enjoys acceptable psychometric properties regarding the ease of administration, scoring, and interpretation, as well as the suitable validity and reliability of the scale. thus, researchers can safely use it in their studies.
