Psychometric properties of Hindi translated version of Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS).

Abstract

Numerous implicit attempts have added explicitly to the understanding of the researchers’ thoughts, beliefs, and actions that foster knowledge in the growing field of positive psychology. Therefore, in a submission to support the conception behind thse formulation of Values in Action, present research has established the psychometric properties of Hindi translated version of Values in action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS) by using a sample of (N=186) undergraduate students from Delhi and Rajasthan. This article unveils the psychometric properties especially the correlations and factor structure of the translated version and in addition, the internal consistency reliability statistics (Cronbach’s alpha) with Comparative reference to the values obtained elsewhere. Finally, we got highly inter-correlated character strengths (0.51-0.80) and factor analysis gave us a “one-factor solution” that is discussed herein.
