Correction of the modified symptom list SCL-90-R on a sample of students from the University of Taibah

Abstract

The present research aims at codifying the modified symptoms list on a sample of students from Taibah University.
In order to achieve this goal, the researchers used the survey method. They started by translating the list into Arabic language and modifying its terms according to the rules of the Arabic language without prejudice to the psychological sense of the items. Thus, the psychometric characteristics of the list were verified by studying its validity and stability. Honesty was verified using content validation and constructional honesty through empirical empirical analysis and discrete honesty, while consistency was verified using internal consistency and repeatability. All of which confirmed that the list of symptoms had good indicators of truth and consistency.
The results of the study were based on a sample of (625) subjects, of which 283 males and 342 females were used to extract the separate T criteria for males and females, similar to the original study of the list and other studies. The results of the study showed differences between males and females All sub-measures, additional items, general distress index, total positive symptoms, and indicator of suffering of positive symptoms, all were in favor of females.
Current research recommends using a list of symptoms in psychiatric centers and clinics for rapid diagnosis, and the regulation of a list of adolescents.
