In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics methods, central tendency indices (mean, median, and mode) and dispersion indices (variance, standard deviation, skewness, and...) were used. Then, using SPSS version 22 software, statistical methods of correlation coefficient, advanced approach of structural equations (second-order confirmatory factor analysis) were used to test the hypotheses.
