چکیده:
The Main purpose of the present study was assessing psychometric properties of Persian version of Acceptance and action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II). After forward- translation and backward-translation، data was gathered at three stages. At first stage، The AAQ-II was administered to 192 students of Tehran University and students of Tehran University of Medical science.
