dc.description.abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop an Arabic Version of the Schwartz Outcome Scale-10 (SOS-10, Blais, et al., 1999) that was designed to measure a broad domain of psychological health. The new measure was validated on a sample of 150 undergraduate students at Kuwait University. Items of the Arabic Version of the SOS-10 represented one major factor: the student’s overall satisfaction with one’s psychological health. This finding is consistent with Blais, et al. (1999) unifactorial structure of SOS-10. The measure had an alpha of .79, and showed strong correlations with commonly used measures of psychological health and depression, a clear evidence of its construct and discriminant validity. In the light of these findings, the author recommended to utilize the Arabic Version of the Schwartz Outcome Scale-10 to improve the psychological health of University students, to enhance their optimistic vision of future, and to build an active student personality. |
