A Sample of 217 participants, 102 male, and 115 females was selected for the administration of scale, ranging from age 12 to 18 years. Random and purposive sampling procedures were used to select the participants.
In the third phase, psychometric properties of the Urdu version of RCADS was established. In order to find out the linguistic equivalence between original and translated versions of RCADS, and to establish the psychometric properties of RCADS, Pearson Product moment coefficient of correlation and Cronbach’s alpha were used. The estimate shows significant results (r=.87) at a .01 level of significance. The scale demonstrated its strength by providing significant test-retest reliability (r=.83) at the .01 alpha level.
