| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Setting and pursuing life goals provides individuals with direction, purpose, and motivation, ultimately contributing to personal growth, fulfilment, and a sense of accomplishment in their journey through life. Objectives: the aim of this study was to perform a psychometric analysis to assess the validity and reliability of the Life Goals Scale in the general Saudi adult population. Methods: A total of 544 individuals (aged 18 years and over) were recruited from the general Saudi population to complete the Arabic version of the Life Goals Scale. Descriptive statistics measurement and reliability analysis were performed to examine the validity of the scale among Saudis. Results: Reliability analysis showed high internal consistency (α = .914), and the translated scale showed excellent reliability and validity parameters among Saudis. Conclusion: The Arabic version of the scale showed excellent reliability and validity parameters among Saudi individuals and may be applied among Saudis and other Arabic-speaking populations. | ||||
