Abstract
The primary focus of this research is to translate and validate the Extremism Scale (ES) into Urdu language. ES reflects that extremism is an ideological concept and a belief distinct from violent or criminal actions. To understand the prevalence of non-violent extremist beliefs in indigenous context, ES (developed in English language) need to be translated into Urdu language. Brislin’s translation guidelines were utilized to ensure linguistic and cultural precision while translating the scale from English to Urdu language. Results revealed that the Urdu version of the ES had linguistic clarity and achieved idiomatic, semantic, and conceptual equivalence as that of the original English version of the ES. Average Variance Estimate (AVE) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed satisfactory values affirming the validity of the scale and Cronbach’s alpha value (α = .89) indicated good reliability. It is recommended to test and validate ES in contexts and populations that are more prone to extremism.
