Abstract
The current study aimed to validate the Persian version of the Revised Sense of Purpose Scale (SOPS-2-PERS) in Iranian university students. Data were collected from 854 students from two independent samples. The psychometric properties of the SOPS-2-PERS were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis. We evaluated its internal reliability, convergent and divergent validity. Tests of measurement invariance were conducted across samples (Sample 1 and Sample 2) and gender (males and females). The results provided evidence for the satisfactory psychometric properties, good reliability and validity of the SOPS-2-PERS. Also, multigroup factor analyses based on sample and gender confirmed the scale's structure. Therefore, the SOPS-2-PERS is an effective instrument to measure the purpose of life of Iranian adults.
