Abstract

Understanding motivations for high risk behaviors is an important yet neglected area in Pakistan. Although, most research on motives for risky behaviors has been done in western cultures but few studies determined its cultural diversity reflecting significant, cultural differences. To enhance the understanding of various motives for risk-taking in eastern culture, this study realized the need of a culturally valid and reliable measure to assess different motivations to engage in high risk behaviors for vulnerable population in Pakistan. This study sets out to investigate perceived motivations involved in actual risks in a sample of emerging adult destitute women (N=400) between 18-25 years approached through various shelter-homes in Pakistan. For this, a measurement scale to assess motivations to engage in high risk behaviors was translated, adapted and culturally validated. For the empirical evaluation, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) performed through SPSS. 21 that reported excellent validity and reliability estimates. Moreover, it became obvious that motives to engage in risky behaviors were slightly different for Pakistani culture as compared to the existing model. All the previously explored motives reported in MRT (1. Audience Controlled, 2. Irresponsibility 3. Thrill seeking, 4. Hedonistic motivation 5. Calculated risk) were nicely emerged in the subsequent model while, few other motives also emerged in the present study which made a distinct category (Authority Defying Motives) reflecting that motivations to engage in risk-taking behaviors are somehow reliant on cultural context. All the factors showed good internal consistency ranging from α=.70-.82. To conclude, MRT is a valid and reliable measure for Pakistani population having strong psychometric properties, linguistic and cultural acceptability, which paves the ways for practitioners to better understand the motivations for engaging in high risk behaviors by using the available indigenous measure.

翻译、文化适应和语言验证对冒险动机的影响
了解高风险行为的动机是巴基斯坦一个重要但被忽视的领域。虽然大多数关于危险行为动机的研究都是在西方文化中进行的,但很少有研究确定其文化多样性反映了显著的文化差异。为了加强对东方文化中各种冒险动机的理解,本研究认识到需要一种文化上有效和可靠的措施来评估巴基斯坦弱势群体从事高风险行为的不同动机。本研究旨在调查一组18-25岁的新兴成年贫困妇女(N=400)的实际风险感知动机,这些妇女通过巴基斯坦的各种庇护所进行接触。为此,一种评估从事高风险行为动机的测量量表被翻译、改编并在文化上得到验证。对于实证评价,探索性因素分析(EFA)通过SPSS进行。21个报告了出色的效度和可靠性估计。此外,很明显,与现有模式相比,巴基斯坦文化中从事危险行为的动机略有不同。MRT(1)报道了所有先前探索的动机。2、观众控制;不负责任3。寻求刺激,4分。享乐主义动机计算风险)在随后的模型中很好地出现,而在本研究中也出现了一些其他动机,这些动机形成了一个独特的类别(违抗权威的动机),反映了从事冒险行为的动机在某种程度上依赖于文化背景。各因子在α= 0.70 ~ 0.82范围内具有良好的内部一致性。综上所述,MRT是一种有效和可靠的测量方法,对巴基斯坦人口具有很强的心理测量特性、语言和文化可接受性,这为从业人员通过使用现有的本土测量方法更好地理解从事高风险行为的动机铺平了道路。东盟精神病学杂志,Vol. 22(9), 2021年11月:1-12。关键字;冒险动机;高危行为;新兴的成年人;贫困妇女;翻译和验证。
