In addition, impairments in social skills may be related to larger problems such as developmental disability, Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, antisocial behavior, and other mental health problems (Davis et al.
In addition, the MESSY has been researched with various populations, including children with hearing and visual impairments (Matson, Heinze, Helsel, Kapperman, &amp; Rotatori, 1986; Matson, Macklin, &amp; Helsel, 1985; Raymond &amp; Matson, 1989) , intellectual disabilities (Matson &amp; Barrett, 1982), anxiety disorders (Strauss, Lease, Kazdin, Dulcan, &amp; Last, 1989), depression (Helsel &amp; Matson, 1984), bipolar disorder (Goldstein, Miklowitz, &amp; Mullen, 2006), and autism spectrum disorders (Matson, Stabinsky- Compton, &amp; Sevin, 1991) (all cited in Matson, Neal, Fodstad, Hess, Mahan, and Rivet, 2010).
Furthermore, social deficits are major risk factors for challenging behaviors (Farmer &amp; Aman, 2009; Tenneij, Didden, Stolker, &amp; Koot, 2009), and similarly, they can compound problems of psychopathology (Brim, Townsend, DeQuinzio, &amp; Poulson, 2009; Matson, Dempsey, &amp; Rivet, 2009; Niklasson, Rasmussen, O´ Skarsdo´ Ttir, &amp; Gillberg, 2009; Rose, Bramham, Young, Paliokostas, &amp; Xenitidis, 2009).
The purpose of this paper was to determine the factor solution of a measure used to assess social skills, the MESSY-II in Iranian population (Matson et al.
Despite being developed years ago, the MESSY has shown to be a reliable and valid measure of social skills and continues to be a valuable resource for clinicians (Hazinski &amp; Matson, 1985).
