Abstract

The present study was conducted with the aim of reliability, validation, and investigation of the factor structure of the Hazm (Future-Looking) Questionnaire. The present study is a descriptive and survey-type study. A total of 278 students were selected using a stratified random method and completed the original Hazm questionnaire (Khakbazan and Rafiei-Honar, 2019). In order to examine the validity of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Spearman-Brown split-half, and Guttman split-half were used. Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the test and retest stages was 0.789 and 0.765, respectively. The Spearman-Brown split-half and Guttman split-half coefficients were 0.858 and 0.856, respectively. Principal component analysis using Varimax rotation showed that the Hazm scale (by removing 25 questions with low factor loadings) consists of 4 factors: identity, time course, conscious action, and self-control. In summary, the present study showed that the Hazm (futurism) questionnaire has good validity and reliability and can be used to measure futurism. In addition, in this study, "self-control" was identified as one of the factors constituting the futurism construct, along with the previous three factors.
