Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluated the reliability and validity of an Arabic version of the Multidimensional Social Support Scale (MSPSS) among Lebanese adults, finding it to have high internal consistency and acceptable factorial structure.
  • Through statistical analyses like confirmatory factor analysis and gender invariance testing, the scale showed consistent results across genders, with no significant differences in social support measures.
  • The Arabic MSPSS was also positively correlated with resilience and posttraumatic growth, indicating good convergent validity, though further testing across different Arab populations is recommended.]
