Abstract: (302 Views)

This study aimed to validate the multi-dimensional scale for anti-social behavior in a higher education setting (ASB) for a sample of Iranian university students. This descriptive-evaluative study translated and validated the Persian version of (ASB) in a sample of Iranian students. 270 students of Islamic Azad University, Rasht branch participated in this study using the convenience sampling method in 2023. To examine the test-retest reliability of ASB, 50 participants were randomly selected to fill out this scale twice at an interval of two weeks. The multi-dimensional scale for Anti-Social Behavior in a higher education setting (ASB), the Dirty Dozen Scale (DD, Jonason & Webster, 2010), and the Short form of the self-compassionScale (SCS, Raes et al., 2011) were used in this study. According to the results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), 2 factors were identified separately, which explain 66.30% of the total variance. The results of criterion validity showed that ASB had a positive relationship with dark personality traits and a negative relationship with self-compassion (P<0.05); which respectively shows the convergent and divergent validity of this tool. According to Cronbach's alpha, results showed the favorable test-retest reliability (0.77) and internal consistency (0.89) of ASB. Since ASB exhibited acceptable validity and reliability in a sample of Iranian students, it is recommended to be used for measuring the anti-social behavior of Iranian university students.
