In preparation stage, the items were split into two sections, namely part one and part two. Then each of them was administrated on 4403 participants from twelve provinces. Factor analysis revealed eight factors. In the second stage, the two parts, namely one and two, were combined. This made up a questionnaire including 117 items. This questionnaire was administrated on 100 participants. The findings indicated that the scale had proper psychometricfeatures including construct validity, concurrent criterion validity, and also reliability by employing test-retest method. The standardized norms for total score of religiosity, and related components were presented

The aim of this study was to examine mediation effects of self-confidence and sport self-efficacy on the relationship between dimensions of anger and anger control with sport performance in a sample of Iranian athletes. A total of 246 volunteer athletes (149 boys, 97 girls) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete Tehran Multidimensional Anger Scale (TMAS; Besharat, 2007) and Sport Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES; Besharat, 2008). To measure the athletes' sport performance, their coaches were asked to complete the Sport Achevement Scale (SAS; Besharat, Abbasi, & Shojaoldin, 2002). The results revealed that self-confidence and sport self-efficacy mediated the relationship between dimensions of anger and anger control with sport performance. Analysis of the data revealed that mediation effects of self-confidence for the association of anger with sport performance were partial for dimensions of anger and full for dimensions of anger control. Analysis of the data also revealed that mediation effects of sport self-efficacy for the association of anger with sport performance were full for dimensions of both anger and anger control
