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
