Abstract

The current study translated and validated the Multi-Dimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) from English into Urdu. Age ranges of the participants varied from 25- 50 years (M = 29.14, SD = 08.12, and separate data were used for cross-language validation (n = 80), Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) n = 130, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) n = 150 with same credentials. Semantic analysis and forward-back translation methods (Brislin, 1976) were used for translation purposes. Psychometric properties and cross-language validation results showed good internal consistency and reliability. Findings also retained the original factor structure with little variations on the current sample. Urdu MJS will help family-couple therapists and researchers to effectively deal with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral jealousy in the cultural context of Pakistan.
