Introduction: Given the importance of screening as one of the health behaviors in cervical cancer, the aim of this study is to develop and evaluate the psychometric characteristics of Cervical Cancer Screening Behavior Scale (CCSBS). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 376 women who referred to Javaheri Health Center during the study period due to health problems, were selected through convenience sampling method. Then, the scale was developed and its content and face validities were examined. To ensure divergent and convergent validity, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used. Internal consistency method (Cronbach's alpha) was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. Finally, confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the construct validity of the CCSBS and SPSS and LISREL software were applied for analyzing data. Results: The findings of this study provided strong supports, which confirmed the content and face validities. Regarding the convergent and divergent validity, perceived vulnerability, perceived severity and deterioration, and perceived barriers have a direct and significant relationship with the three variables of depression, anxiety, and stress. On the other hand, perceived motivation had a significant inverse correlation with all three variables of depression, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, perceived self-efficacy had a significant inverse correlation with depression. The results of the Cronbach's alpha indicated the appropriate internal consistency of the whole questionnaire and its components. Cronbach's alpha for the whole questionnaire was 0.78. According to confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit indicators of proposed model was confirmed and the paths were significant. Conclusion: CCSBS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the screening behavior of cervical cancer in Iranian women and it appears to be a comprehensive and useful tool for assessing women's beliefs related to cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening.

Aim: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of cognitive load on reaction to the other's trust, with the moderating role of personality traits. Methods: Using available sampling method 85 at Persian Gulf University were selected and were asked to complete the HEXACO personality inventory. Then, using random assignment method, they were divided into four groups (four levels of cognitive load from no cognitive load to high cognitive load. Finally, participants were asked to complete a scenario that examined reaction to other's trust, under a variety of degrees of cognitive loads, mentioned above. The data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis (utilizing Baron and Keaney's method for assessing moderating effect).   Results: The results indicated that cognitive load causes a decrease in reaction to other's trust (R=0.683) and that each personality trait could moderate the effect of cognitive load on reaction to other’s trust. Conclusion: Considering the ever-increasing cognitive load caused by the explosion of information in the modern age, it is necessary to identify and strengthen the personality traits underlying trusting interpersonal relationships
