Excessive inhibition of emotions is associated with a variety of psychological and health problems. Weinberger developed an inventory to assess socio-emotional adjustment. The present study was carried out in order to validate the Persian version of short form of Weinberger adjustment inventory (WAI) in student population. 230 students of University of Tehran completed Mindful Attention and awareness scale, beliefs about emotions scale, depression and anxiety subscales of DASS-21 and short form of Weinberger adjustment inventory. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess construct validity. Also, Pearson correlation coefficient was used for convergent and discriminant validity. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three-factor structure of WAI with distress, Restraint and repressiveness (RMSEA=.077; CFI=.85; IFI=.85). Furthermore, a positive correlation of distress/depression, distress/anxiety, distress/beliefs about emotions, Restraint/mindfulness and Repressiveness/mindfulness and a negative correlation of distress/mindfulness, Repressiveness/depression, Repressiveness/anxiety, Restraint/depression and Restraint/anxiety were found, which indicates a favorable convergent and discriminant validity for this inventory. The results were discussed, based on different nature of WAI subscales and self-deception in repressors.
