  • The Social and Emotional Learning and Orientation Scale - Development and Validation of a Brief Measure in Hindi

    by Mayank Sharma, Sonal Chheda, Reshma Piramal, Neha Bhatia, Tyralynn Frazier, Nandini Chatterjee Singh

    Accumulating evidence of the impact of social and emotional learning (SEL) on student well-being as well as academic performance has led to an increased interest in understanding and measuring SEL in students. However, most existing measures have been developed in English and there is a paucity of culturally relevant measures in other languages. In this study, we present a short, culturally sensitive 8-item scale in Hindi entitled the Social and Emotional Learning and Orientation Scale (SELOS). Factor structure of SELOS was established through exploratory ( N=2844; Mage=14.65 years) and confirmatory factor analysis ( N=1508; Mage=14.50 years) with responses from 4352 Hindi-speaking students in India. The scale demonstrated a two-factor structure, with good reliability, discriminant validity and partial measurement invariance across gender. These results provide encouraging evidence for conducting culturally sensitive studies of SEL in India and in other Hindi-speaking parts of the world.
