AB  - This study aimed to investigate the validity and factor structure of the 
      Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS; Webster in J Adult Dev 10:13-22, 2003) in an 
      Iranian population. Participants (235 male, 340 female) were recruited in Tehran, 
      Iran and ranged in age from 17 to 88 years. Cronbach alpha's for the subscales 
      ranged from .63 to .81, and their inter-correlations ranged from .42 to .53. 
      Exploratory factor analysis extracted 5 factors that were similar with the 
      original structure. Confirmatory factor analysis supported 5-factor model of the 
      SAWS. The SAWS's total and subscale scores positively correlated with two other 
      measures of wisdom (indicating convergent validity). The SAWS correlated weakly 
      with age. Women scored higher in the SAWS subscales of emotional regulation, 
      reminiscence/reflectiveness, and humor, which accounted for a significant gender 
      difference in total wisdom. Although the age differences are consistent with 
      prior research, the gender differences are relatively novel. Overall, results 
      indicate that the SAWS has excellent psychometric properties and can be used in 
      cross-cultural work.
