Objective: The aim of this study was to construct a self-empathy scale based on the psychodynamic approach of Davanloo and Malan. Method: This was a descriptive correlational study with the aim of developmental psychometrics. The statistical population of this study included all students of Islamic Azad University of Tehran and Garmsar in the academic year of 1998-99. Results: The reliability coefficient of this scale was 0.89 by Cronbach's alpha method. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of his self-empathy scale showed that with 16 items, 5 factors measure body attention, perception of feelings, introspection, anxiety, and defense mechanisms. This scale, with its coefficient of reliability and validity of structure and content, is suitable for screening people at their level of self-empathy. This research was done as the first attempt to construct a scale of self-empathy that achieved 16 items and 5 internal factors of this concept. Psychometric indices of this scale can be considered for the first attempt. This scale is currently suitable for screening and this path requires more extensive research to be able to achieve psychometric indices suitable for clinical trials.

Aims: This study aimed to compare students’ emotional intelligence with their problem-solving and flexibility ability. Method: The research method was ex pact facto and the sample included 78 male and female students who were randomly assigned to the experimental situation. Research instruments included Cattell Situation of Locus Cognition Test and Bar On Emotional Intelligence Test. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results: Results showed that the group with nonflexiblity and lack of problem – solving ability scored lower in emotional intelligence and its scale and the group with flexiblity and problem – solving ability scored higher in emotional intelligence and its scale. Conclusions: The findings showed that students with flexibility and problem-solving ability enjoyed higher emotional intelligence compared to the group who lacked these abilities. Therefore, the flexibility, problem solving ability and emotional intelligence are linked together and enable one to face challenges.
