Abstract

Objective of the present study was to translate and cross language validate the Passionate Love Scale (PLS) from English language to Urdu language using forward-back translation (Brislin, 1976) procedure. It is developed by Hatfield and Sprecher (1986). It has 15 self-reported and uni-dimensional items, with 9 points rating scale ranges from 1 = not at all true to 9 = definitely true. Results showed high level of Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.90, test retest reliability ranged from r = .73 to r = .96 (ps < .01), item total correlation varying from r = .50 to r = .74 (ps < .01) and factor loading ranged from .39 to .73. Item difficulty was determined through the Rasch scaling analysis and construct validity of the Urdu PLS secured the same one-dimensional factor structure of the English PLS by retaining 15 items. It showed that the Urdu PLS is reliable and valid tool to measure the cognitive, emotional and behavioral components of passionate love in Pakistani cultural context. Implications of the study were also discussed.

巴基斯坦拉合尔地区成人激情爱情量表的翻译及跨语言验证

本研究的目的是采用前-后翻译(Brislin, 1976)的程序，将激情爱情量表(PLS)从英语翻译成乌尔都语并进行跨语言验证。它是由Hatfield和Sprecher(1986)开发的。它有15个自我报告的单维项目，有9个评分量表，从1 =完全不正确到9 =绝对正确。结果显示，高水平的Cronbach 's α信度系数α = 0.90，重测信度r = 0.73 ~ 0.96 (ps < 0.01)，项目总相关r = 0.50 ~ 0.74 (ps < 0.01)，因子负荷范围为0.39 ~ 0.73。题目难易度通过Rasch量表分析确定，乌尔都语PLS的结构效度通过保留15个题目来保证与英语PLS相同的一维因子结构。结果表明，乌尔都语PLS是衡量巴基斯坦文化背景下激情爱情的认知、情感和行为成分的可靠有效工具。本文还讨论了本研究的意义。
