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.
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).
