Abstract:
The Revised Academic Hardiness Scale (RAHS) has been shown to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing academic hardiness in different populations. However, the Revised Academic Hardiness Scale (RAHS) has not been translated into Arabic and validated for the Saudi population. Therefore, the current study aimed to translate the English version of the RAHS into Arabic for the Saudi context and validate the translated scale. A total of 496 participants from Umm Al-Qura University were recruited. Based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in different subsamples, the results of the current study revealed that the single-factor model fits the data satisfactorily. In addition, the Arabic version of the RAHS has adequate levels of validity and reliability for the Saudi population.
