Abstract

The purposes of the present study were to determine the psychometric properties of the self-regulatory climate questionnaire among an Iranian sample and comparing the self-regulating climate between gifted and public schools.The findings showed that self-regulatory climate questionnaire had proper internal consistency for subscales and total scale. Also, the fitness indices obtained from confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the scale had proper construct validity and all items had an appropriate load factor. Also, our results showed the gifted schools have a higher self-regulation climate. In general, the results of the present study supported the usefulness of the self-regulatory climate questionnaire among the Iranian sample and provided some evidence of the role of characteristics of the gifted schools in the self-regulatory climate.
