Abstract
The present study aimed to construct and validate an indigenous scale of relational betrayal trauma for young adults. Initially, 60 items were generated through deductive and inductive methods. A pilot study was conducted on university students and retained 39 items. Factorial validity of the scale was determined on a sample of (N=359) 115 male & 244 female young adults, age ranged between 19 to 35 years from different universities of Punjab. Exploratory factor analysis was run on 28 items that were retained after pilot study. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis was run on a sample of (N=600) 300 male &300 female young adults and 20 items were retained for the final scale. Furthermore, convergent and divergent validity of the scale was determined by using Berlin Social support Scale and Betrayal Response Scale respectively. The results show that relational betrayal trauma is a psychometrically valid measure to evaluate painful experiences of young adults in their nonromantic relationships in the context of Pakistani culture. Keywords: Relational betrayal trauma, Young adults, Factorial validity, Painful experiences, Non-romantic relationship.
