Abstract

Researchers at the University of Gujrat in Pakistan developed and validated an Urdu version of the Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD) scale for adults, addressing a gap in culturally relevant psychological assessments. The scale, comprising 37 items across nine subscales, demonstrated strong psychometric properties and high reliability. This research provides a reliable and valid tool for assessing AvPD in Pakistan, with potential applications in clinical and research settings. [Extracted from the article]
