Psychometric Properties of The Brain Executive Functions Scale for Adolescent Students Prepared

Abstract

The study aimed to prepare a scale for measuring executive brain functions for adolescent students within the Arab environment, with a particular focus on its suitability for the Saudi environment. The goal was to provide a standardized tool that researchers in the fields of psychometrics and behavioral sciences could benefit from. The study adopted a descriptive psychometric methodology. The final version of the scale consists of 24 items, distributed across four the oretically identified dimensions: planning and organization, working memory, Control and Monitoring, and Cessation and conversion.The sample comprised (181) male and female students from public schools, aged between (12 – 18) years, with a mean age of (16.14) years and a standard deviation of (1.4). The results indicated high validity, including discriminant validity, internal consistency, and confirmatory factor validity, reflecting the appropriateness of the theoretical structure of the scale. The reliability indicators also showed good results, with both Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and composite reliability (CR), confirming that the scale possesses an adequate level of validity and reliability.
