This study was designed in order to evaluate the reliability and validity of Persian version of Self- concept clarity (SCC).The present study is a descriptive- correlation study. 577 students who were selected via available sampling method. After forward and backward translations of the Self- concept clarity, the original version was compared with the Persian version .Similarities and differences were reviewed and corrected. After the scale was prepared, the Cronbach's alpha test was used to determine the validity of the test. To determine the validity of construct validity methods, convergent and divergent validity was used. Data were analyzed using Factor analysis and Pearson’s correlation method. The findings of factor analysis indicated that this scale is uni-factor in the Iranian sample. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the factor structure resulted from exploratory factor analysis which was not different from the proposed factors in original questionnaire. Test-retest reliability was 0.85 and internal consistency of the scale was 0.83 by using Cronbach's alpha, Correlation between the two half-tests was 0.67. Also, the correlation with Rogers self- concept scale was -0.62 and correlation with physiological symptoms sub-scale was -0.13.The results show that the persian version of the of self-concept clarity is a reliable and valid scale.

Keywords: self-concept clarity, self-concept, physiological symptoms, reliability, validity, factor analysis.
