摘要：The aim of the present study was to develop a new scale named “Academic Identity Statues Scale”(AISS) for Iranian high school students. Using two criteria including exploration and commitment in the context of school students, 16 items were developed. The 16 items were added to Farsi form of Extended Objective of Measure Ego Identity Statues (EOM-EIS-2). 2202 High school students (mean age=15.75, SD=2.75) were selected randomly from Tehran, Iran. The participants were asked to complete the form. Of the 2022 participants about 50% of students (n=1079) were selected randomly for performing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the remaining (n=1123) were selected for doing Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results of the factor analysis provided an acceptable fit to the model. The indices of fitness on 4 factors showed fitness as X2/df=2.92., GFI=0.97, AGFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.04. For studying convergent and divergent validity, correlations between four academic identity statues and their similar concepts on ideological ego identity status (EOM-EIS-2) were calculated. Also Cronbach's alpha and test-retest coefficients revealed the acceptable reliability of the scale. The results indicated that AISS is a valid and reliable scale for assessing identity status in Iranian high school students.
