The current study aimed to translate and validate the Fate Control scale, Short Hardiness Scale,
Psychological Well being Scale, The Gratitude Questionnaire, and Brief Resilience Scale. The
study comprised of three phases; phase-I was the translation of the scales by using forward backward translation method. In phase-II, cross language validation was established on a sample
of 60 (male=25, female=35) bilingual young adults of age range 26 to 31 years (M=27.75,
SD=1.29), selected through a convenient sampling technique. They were divided into three equal
groups. Each group was given all versions of the scales (i.e., Urdu, English, and Original) in three
slots to analyze inter-versions correlations. Significant positive inter-correlations were found
between original, forward translated and backward translated versions of the scales. In phase-III,
the reliability and validity analyses were run to establish the psychometric properties of the
translated versions. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out to confirm the factor
structure of the translated versions of the scales on a sample of 200 individuals (male=142, and
female=58) of age range from 24 to 50 years (M=33.62, SD=6.72). Furthermore, convergent and
discriminant validity of the translated instruments was assessed to establish the construct validity.
Results supported the original structure of the scales
