Abstract

Initially, a pool of 50 items was generated through intensive literature review and brain storming sessions. 34 items were selected after expert's opinion. The scale was administered on 140 respondents whom were selected conveniently. Later on, pilot study was carried out by using 34 items scale which resulted into 23 items after retaining highly correlated items (r ≥.5). Finally, scale was administered on 250 respondents. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were carried out for structure exploration and confirmation. The reliability of the scale was established. Conclusion: A reliable scale of jealousy was successfully developed with 12 items with three subscales and 11 items with no subscale. (Rawal Med J 202;45:136-139).
