This study created a validated Urdu version of the Interaction with Disabled Persons scale (IDP) to assess attitudes toward physical disability in Pakistan. The new scale demonstrates reliability for Pakistani populations.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Disability Studies
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Attitudes toward persons with physical disabilities are crucial for social inclusion.
  • Existing measures may not be culturally appropriate for diverse linguistic groups.
  • Validating Urdu-language instruments is essential for research in Pakistan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an Urdu translation of the Interaction with Disabled Persons (IDP) scale.
  • To assess attitudes toward individuals with physical disabilities in a Pakistani context.
  • To ensure cultural relevance and psychometric properties of the translated scale.

Main Methods:

  • Translation and back-translation of the IDP scale from English to Urdu.
  • Expert committee review for cultural validity.

  • Factor analysis and reliability testing (Cronbach's alpha) on data from 591 Urdu-speaking participants.

    • Main Results:

    • The Urdu IDP scale demonstrated good construct validity through factor analysis, extracting four factors explaining 55% of the variance.
    • These factors aligned with those identified in previous international studies.
    • Moderate internal consistency was reported using Cronbach's alpha.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Urdu IDP scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing attitudes toward physical disability in Pakistan.
    • This instrument facilitates culturally sensitive research on disability attitudes within Urdu-speaking populations.
    • The findings support the cross-cultural applicability of the IDP scale with appropriate translation and validation.
