Background and Objectives: The corona crisis has led to the spread of poverty in some countries and the increase of abused teenagers who have unfavorable social adaptation. Therefore, the purpose of the current research was to determine the factor structure and validate the California Social Adjustment Scale in abused adolescents in Kerman City.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was done using psychometric method. The statistical population included all abused teenagers in Kerman City in 2021. Based on psychometric criteria, the number of samples was determined as 360 people for exploratory factor analysis, 250 people for confirmatory factor analysis, and 100 people for convergence validity. The samples were selected by random sampling method. Research information was collected through two questionnaires, the short form of California Social Adjustment Scale and Bell's Social Adjustment Questionnaire in printed form. Content validity, convergent validity, and factor analysis methods were used to check the validity of the scale. The reliability of the scale was evaluated by the methods of internal consistency and split-half reliability (halving).
Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the short form of the California Social Adaptation Questionnaire consists of six factors and has good validity and reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the six-factor model. This questionnaire was implemented together with Bell's Social Adjustment Questionnaire, which had good reliability and validity with 24 items (p<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of this research which showed that the 24-item California Social Adjustment Scale has good reliability and validity, this scale can be used to evaluate social adjustment in abused teenagers.
