Abstract
Post-traumatic growth is positive while post-traumatic depreciation is a negative change after struggling with traumatic life events. The study aimed to develop and validate a culture sensitive, Urdu-language scale to measure posttraumatic growth and depreciation in Pakistani Muslim population. At first a pool of 53 items was generated through literature review, focus group discussions (n=4) and semi structured interviews (n=8) of trauma survivors and experts. In Content Validity Index (CVI) total scale- CVI remained .86. A pilot study, with 50 participants, was conducted to evaluate face validity. Through Exploratory Factor Analysis (N=175) four factors were established e.g. self & spiritual metamorphosis (α= .84), exploration & autonomy (α= .75), resilience & emotional wellness (α= .73) and emotional intelligence & healthy boundaries (α= .71). To confirm dimensionality, confirmatory factor analysis was run on a different data set (N=205). These four dimensions were confirmed showing healthy composite reliability i.e. .93, .92, .89 and .78 accordingly. Then convergent validity was established by using Urdu version of posttraumatic growth inventory (r = .83, p<.01) while discriminant validity was established through Urdu version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (r= -.70, p< .01). Finally Posttraumatic Growth and Depreciation Scale (PTGDS) was developed and validated, having well established four factors with 31 items and high composite reliability of total scale (α= 0.90). This body of work contributes to the fields of positive psychology, health psychology, clinical psychology, policymaking, ultimately supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)3.
