چکیده مقاله :
هدف پژوهش حاضر، بررسی ویژگیهای روانسنجی نسخه فارسی پرسشنامه سازگاری دانشجویان با دانشگاه بود. این پژوهش از نوع توصیفی ـ پیمایشی و در قالب هنجاریابی ابزار انجام شد. جامعه آماری شامل کلیه دانشجویان دانشگاه آزاد اصفهان (خوراسگان) در سال تحصیلی ۱۴۰۳–۱۴۰۴ بود که از میان آنها، ۵۰۰ نفر بهصورت در دسترس انتخاب شدند و پس از حذف پرسشنامههای ناقص، دادههای ۴۸۰ نفر تحلیل شد. ابزارهای پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه سازگاری با دانشگاه، پرسشنامه سازگاری تحصیلی و پرسشنامه احساس تعلق به دانشگاه بود. برای تحلیل دادهها از تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی و تأییدی، ضریب آلفای کرونباخ، و آزمونهای تغییرناپذیری چندگروهی استفاده شد. نتایج تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی نشان داد که نسخه فارسی پرسشنامه دارای چهار عامل اصلی (روابط بینفردی، فعالیت تحصیلی و آمادگی برای اشتغال، مسئولیتپذیری و مشارکت اجتماعی) است که در مجموع ۵۷/۵۵ درصد واریانس را تبیین میکنند. شاخصهای برازش تحلیل عاملی تأییدی نیز از برازش مطلوب مدل حمایت کردند. روایی همگرای ابزار با پرسشنامههای سازگاری تحصیلی و تعلق به دانشگاه تأیید شد. پایایی ابزار با استفاده از آلفای کرونباخ برای کل مقیاس ۰.۸۵ و برای ابعاد آن بین ۰.۷۰ تا ۰.۸۹ بهدست آمد. نتایج آزمون تغییرناپذیری چندگروهی نشان داد که این ابزار از لحاظ ساختاری در بین دانشجویان زن و مرد پایا است. بهطور کلی، نسخه فارسی پرسشنامه سازگاری با دانشگاه از ویژگیهای روانسنجی مطلوبی برخوردار است و میتواند بهعنوان ابزاری معتبر در ارزیابی سازگاری دانشجویان ایرانی با محیط دانشگاه مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire. This research employed a descriptive–survey design in the form of instrument standardization. The statistical population consisted of all students at Islamic Azad University of Isfahan (Khorasgan Branch) during the 2024–2025 academic year. From this population, 500 students were selected through convenience sampling, and after excluding incomplete questionnaires, data from 480 participants were analyzed. The study instruments included the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire, the Academic Adjustment Questionnaire, and the Sense of Belonging to University Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and multigroup invariance testing. Results of the exploratory factor analysis indicated that the Persian version of the questionnaire comprised four main factors (interpersonal relations, academic activity and career readiness, responsibility, and social participation), which together explained 57.55% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indices further supported the adequacy of the model fit. Convergent validity of the instrument was confirmed through significant correlations with academic adjustment and sense of belonging to university measures. Reliability, assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, was 0.85 for the total scale and ranged from 0.70 to 0.89 across subscales. Findings from multigroup invariance testing demonstrated structural consistency of the instrument across male and female students. Overall, the Persian version of the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire exhibited satisfactory psychometric properties and can be considered a valid tool for assessing the adaptation of Iranian students to the university environment.
