Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the validity of Urdu translated version of the Mooney Problem Checklist in different government and private Junior High Schools. The MPCL with seven dimensions was administered to 150 students from junior high schools. The students of 6th, 7th, and 8th classes were selected. The age range was 10-15. This study analyzed correlation, frequency and confirmative analysis. The analysis was conducted using SPSS 25th version to examine the psychometric properties such as item fit statistics, removable items, unidimensionality, local independence, and item polarity validity. The results show that 209 items from junior high school form was found to have fulfilled the main assumption and measurement criteria of MPCLs. The results of junior high school students, there are 21 pairs of dimensions relationship that existed from 7 dimensions of MPCL. The results showed that 2 pairs of dimensions have a strong relationship, 5 pairs have a moderate and 14 pair has a weak relationship. The findings showed the strongest pair HPD-S (r= 0.622, p=0.000), has a strong correlation. The BG-PG pair, which has the lowest correlation (r= 0.184, p=0.000) is the weakest. This study provides a significant contribution to improving the scale development and validation of the MPCL instrument. This study shows the strength of the dimensions in MPCL in proving the suitability of the items used for replication in the context of junior high schools.

初中生穆尼问题表的翻译与验证

本研究旨在评估乌尔都语版本的穆尼问题量表在不同的公立和私立初中的效度。以150名初中生为研究对象，采用七个维度的MPCL量表进行问卷调查。6、7、8班学生入选。年龄范围是10-15岁。本研究进行相关性分析、频率分析和确认性分析。采用SPSS第25版进行分析，检验项目拟合统计、可移动项目、单维性、局部独立性和项目极性效度等心理测量属性。结果表明，209个项目符合mpcl的主要假设和测量标准。对初中生的调查结果显示，MPCL的7个维度存在21对维度关系。结果表明，2对维度存在强相关，5对维度存在中等相关，14对维度存在弱相关。结果显示，最强配对HPD-S (r= 0.622, p=0.000)，具有较强的相关性。相关性最低的是BG-PG对(r= 0.184, p=0.000)。本研究为提高MPCL仪器的规模开发和验证提供了重要的贡献。本研究显示了MPCL的维度在证明初中背景下用于复制的项目的适用性方面的强度。

期刊介绍： Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events provides a unique forum for critical discussion of public policy debates relating to the fields of tourism, leisure and events. This encompasses the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions of official intervention. In addition to high quality theoretical and empirical papers, the journal publishes contributions examining the value of contrasting methodologies, or advocacy of novel methods. Inter- and multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, it publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific, topical interventions in the Contemporary Policy Debates section. In addition, the journal’s novel Dialogues section involves ‘point/counter-point’ debates between contributors on a range of policy-related or policy research-related topics. These may interrogate key concepts from different cultural, theoretical or spatial perspectives, or discuss potential responses to a range of practical challenges involved in undertaking policy-related research in the fields of tourism, leisure and events. With a swiftly growing academic reputation, the journal is ‘B’ rated by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC). It has received citations from a number of senior practitioners and influential bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
