Abstract
This study aimed to develop a culturally sensitive scale to assess stressors among the unmarried Pakistani population. Eco-Cultural Stress theory of Weisner was used as a theoretical model. A total of 500 individuals were selected through convenient sampling. In first step, focus group was conducted with 8 participants that generated 45 items. In Stage 2, items were reviewed based on expert consultation. Then for Pilot Testing, the scale was administered to 200 participants. Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed on 300 participants, confirming a KMO of 0.808.EFA resulted in a 36-item. Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirmed a 20-item scale consisting of two factors. The 20 item scale demonstrated test-retest reliability (0.861*). Convergent validity checked against the Perceived Stress Scale was (0.61). Discriminant validity assessed using the General Self-Efficacy Scale was (0.13). This scale can be used by professionals to enhance the mental health of young individuals.
