Translation
process:
The
translation was carried out by Mr. Vipan Chaudhary as
part of his PhD project 'Correlates of Resilience among Farmers in Punjab' at Punjab
University Chandigarh.
The scale was firstly
translated into Punjabi by three bilingual experts, and then back-translated by
three independent bilingual experts. Modifications were made on the basis of comparison
with the original scale by two psychologists. This version was tested on 30 farmers
to assess the ease of understanding. Wherever the farmers reported any
difficulty, the issue was discussed with the linguistic experts and further modifications
were made, leading to the final version.
