Indicators of Validity and Reliability of an Arabised Version of the Guilt Management Scale Among Divorced Women

The current study aimed to reveal the indicators of honesty and stability of an Arabised version of the remorse management scale prepared by [1] among divorced women in the Saudi environment. The study sample consisted of 150 divorced women in the city of Riyadh. The psychometric characteristics of the scale were verified, where the results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the structure of the scale consisted of six first-order factors on which all paragraphs of the scale were saturated and also showed the presence of good conformity indicators for the scale through the data of the study sample, with all indicators of conformity quality in the ideal range. Moreover, all of the values of the correlation coefficients between the degree of each paragraph of the scale and the total degree of the dimension are statistically significant at the level of significance (0.01), indicating the scale's internal consistency. The stability indicators (Cronbach alpha) ranged between 0.715 and 0.877, with the stability coefficient of the half-fraction corrected using the Spearman-Brown equation for the dimensions of the scale between 0.704 and 0.872, and the values of the stability coefficients through the Cronbach alpha method for each dimension of the scale decreased when each item was deleted from the vocabulary, which indicates the importance of keeping all paragraphs of the scale. The previous results indicate that the scale of managing the feeling of regret has appropriate indicators of honesty and stability among divorced women in Riyadh.
