Thisstudyaimed at investigating the psychometric properties of Contingencies of Self-Worth scale in a sample of Iranian university students. The sample included 502 undergraduate students in Payame Noor University of Langaroudwho were selected via convenience sampling method and asked to complete the Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale (CSWS), Integrative Self-Knowledge (ISK), Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF), Margolis-Thomas Narcissism Scale (MTNS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). First, confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor structure of the scale for the Iranian sample does not fit that of the American samples. Thus, to find an appropriate factor structure with Iranian sample exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis and oblimin rotation was conducted and the results showed that 6 factors fitted the data structure. Convergent and divergent scale validities were confirmed and Cronbachalpha coefficients also revealed a good internal consistency of the scale. The findingswere discussed based on Self-Determination theory and Contingencies of Self-Worth theory
