Arabic Problem-Solving Decision-Making Scale Factor Loadings by Sex

505 adults from Saudi Arabia participated in the validation of an Arabic translation of the Problem-Solving Decision-Making scale. Nouf Sahal Alharbi published the factor loading results in May 2026. The dataset likely contains standardised factor loadings and latent mean comparisons across sexes.

Use Cases

• Analyze measurement invariance across sexes based on multigroup confirmatory factor analysis results
• Compare latent mean scores for decision-making factors between males and females
• Validate the four-factor structure of a translated healthcare preference instrument
• Assess the reliability and validity of a psychometric scale using Cronbach's alpha and variance extracted metrics

Strengths

• Psychometric validation based on a sample of 505 adults
• Strong model fit statistics reported (χ²/df = 3.22, CFI = 0.991)
• Measurement invariance established across sex groups

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
