RESUMO

The present research was conducted to standardize Symptom Checklist-R on psychiatric and non psychiatric population of Lahore city. Lahore. The research consisted of two stages. At stage one, an indigenous Symptom Checklist developed by Rahman and Sitwat in 1990[1], was reviewed by the research team comprising of 4 trainees of Advanced Diploma in Clinical Psychology and I supervisor. After thorough review, 83 more symptoms were added in that indigenous list of symptoms according to DSM-IV[APA, 1994][2][to make the checklist more comprehensive to use with the psychiatric population. After finalizing the list, Symptom Checklist-R was administered on a sample of 120 subjects residing in different areas of Lahore city from different socioeconomic classes: lower; middle and upper. The analyses of each item revealed that no item /symptom obtained a mean value of more than 7 which clearly show that the non psychiatric respondents did not experience any of these symptoms which were related to different psychopathologies. To determine reliability of SCL-R, 120 subjects from non psychiatric population and 45 subjects from psychiatric population were re-administered the SCL-R within 7-10 days. For the validation of the checklist, 120 psychiatric subjects diagnosed as having different psychopathologies were administered SCL-R along with some other translated instrument. 30 depressed patients were administeredSCL-R and BDI-II[3]; 18 somatic patients were administered SCL-R and two scales: Hysteria and Somatic Anxiety of CCEI[4]; 30 anxiety patients were administered SCL-R and STAI[5], 20 OCD patients were administered SCL-R and Padua Inventory; 32 psychotic patients were administered SCL-R and PANSS[6] and all psychiatric patients were administered LFT scale of SCL-R along with LFT Inventory[7], The psychiatric sample was collected from each of the above mentioned pathologies from different psychiatric units of teaching hospitals: Sir Ganga Ram; Mayo; Services; Punjab Institute of Mental Health [PIMH], Lahore and from out patient clinic of Centre for Clinical Psychology, University of the Punjab, Lahore. The high correlation coefficients between the scores of SCL-R and scores on other instruments clearly indicate that SCL-R is a reliable and valid tool to diagnose psychiatric clients.

The LFT inventory was administered on a sample of 120 subjects residing in different areas of Lahore city from different socioeconomic strata which included low; middle and high. To find the reliability of LFT inventory, 60 subjects were re-administered the LFT inventory after 15 days. For the validation of the inventory, 120 subjects from the same areas were administered the LFT inventory along-with the Scale of LFT of Symptom Checklist-R [Rahman, Dawood, et al., In Press]. At stage two, the focus was to find the relationship between LFT and different psychopathologies: Depression; Somatoform; Anxiety; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Schizophrenia.

RESUMO

The present study aimed to develop an indigenous scale of emotional intelligence while following the theoretical rationale of Goleman's model [1995], which consists of five main domains: Self Awareness; Self Regulation; Motivation; Empathy and Social Skills with 19 sub-domains. To develop an item pool for the scale, the qualified clinical psychologists of Pakistan [N=220] were requested to formulate questions on different sub domains of Goleman's model. It was done through a mailed survey, 38% responses were received from the sample. The researcher listed all the elicited opinions and classified items in each scale separately, which was later scrutinized by the research team, which included the researcher, supervisor and the co supervisor. Duplications were deleted and some of them were modified according to their relevance to the respective domain. Furthermore, from a pool of 925 items which was received, a total of 321 items were finally scrutinized and classified in different sub domains of each scale. The title of each sub-domain was also given by the research team after critically examining the domain and it's contents. For construct validity of the scale, the already selected 321 items were sent to a panel of '8' experts who had the practical experience of a minimum of 15 years in mental health profession, which included clinical psychologists who consented to participate as judges. They were asked to rate each item on a 1 to 5 point scale for it's relevance and suitability in each of the sub domains given by Goleman. The items which obtained a mean value of '3' were retained in the final scale

A strong need was felt to have a valid and a reliable assessment tool for Rational Emotive Therapy [RET] practitioners and researchers in Pakistan to assess irrational beliefs. In the present study, Jones's Irrational Belief Test [IBT], 1968, was indigenized in order to use it effectively with Pakistani population. The sample consisted of 44 psychiatric patients, 33 heroin addicts, 98 college students and 65 volunteers. To check the validity of IBT [Urdu Version], t-test was computed between MAS scores and AO-6 scale of IBT; and between ABS and full scale IBT scores. The reliability was found by using test-retest method. Results showed that IBT [Urdu Version] was a reliable and a valid instrument
