RESULTSThe Iranian version of PedsQL™ 4.0 SF15 evidenced minimal missing responses for child self-report and parent proxy-report (0.4% and 0.6%, respectively), generally demonstrated no significant floor or ceiling effects, and achieved acceptable internal consistency reliability for the Total Scale Score (α = 0.82 child self-report, 0.84 parent proxy-report) and acceptable test-retest reliability. Schoolchildren and their parents reported significantly higher PedsQL™ 4.0 SF15 scores than paediatric patients with chronic health conditions. Child self-report and parent proxy-report showed poor to good agreement. A four-factor model was confirmed among child self-report and parent proxy-report in the confirmatory factor analyses.CONCLUSION This study supports the feasibility, reliability and validity of the Iranian version of the PedsQL™ 4.0 SF15among Iranian children and their parents.

This article investigates whether the field of sociology of religion is occupied by parochial concerns. We characterize institutional parochialism as the degree to which people in an academic field tend to study their own societies. This study employs a content analysis of articles published in The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion and Sociology of Religion from 2001 to 2008, with particular attention paid to the incidences in which Muslim and non-Western groups were studied before and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. There was no change in the rate that "Muslim" communities were studied following the 9/11 attacks, but it appears journal content did change to reflect ongoing debates in the West and in response to mimetic pressures being placed on the field. Overall, if the sociology of religion can be characterized as parochial, we contend that the broader field of American sociology is likely far more so.Keywords Institutional parochialism . Institutional isomorphism . Sociology of religion . Islam . Gender studies . Christianity . 9/11This study investigates the degree to which scholars in a sub-discipline within the field of sociology-the sociology of religion-are occupied by parochial interests. By this we mean that Western sociologists, whatever the diversity of their interests and backgrounds, tend to study their own societies. Institutional parochialism is apparent despite the fact that many within the discipline are calling for an increase in the study of other societies. In effect, we believe that there are few symbolic taboos against

“…Based on previous research on cultural differences in the strive for emotional moderation or emotional maximization [44,6], a cultural difference would be expected to be found in the present study, with the well-being of university students, who were representative of an individualistic Western culture [7], and Iranian university students, who were representative of a collectivistic Asian culture [8,9]. These authors used a new well-being measurement that was designed by Diener et al [10] to distinguish between cognitive/global well-being (flourishing) and emotional well-being (positive versus negative), but they found no difference between Swedish and Iranian participants in their flourishing scores.…”

Recently Diener et al. used a new measurement to distinguish between cognitive/ global and emotional components of well-being. Kormi-Nouri et al. examined this distinction among Swedish and Iranian university students and found no cultural differences in cognitive component but cultural differences in emotional component. The present study examined the distinction between global/cognitive and emotional components of well-being where the two groups of Swedish and Iranian participants were in an unpleasant situation and experience a significant amount of stress and negative emotions, namely infertility. The results showed no difference between infertile Swedish and Iranian women in flourishing. However, infertile Swedish women reported higher levels of positive and negative emotions than infertile Iranian women. In both infertile populations, the most predictive affect with regard to flourishing was the balance affect. It was concluded that, under a stressful and unpleasant situation like infertility compared to a normal situation, the same pattern of distinction between global/cognitive and emotional components of well-being can be still observable. However, negative emotions can act differently at cultural level: they become more noticeable in the Swedish population than in the Iranian population. The results are discussed with respect to individualistic-collectivistic dimension.
