Abstract:
Background: Social interactions require social cognition. Social cognition and its shortcomings could be assessed by questionnaires
and interviews.
Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian versions of the Observable Social Cognition
Rating scale (OSCARS) in students.
Methods: This correlational study was conducted on ۲۵۰ male and female students at the high schools of Dezfoul, Iran during ۲۰۱۹ -
۲۰۲۰. The participants were selected via multistage random sampling. The reliability, congruent validity, and concurrent validity of
the Persian version of the OSCARS were evaluated using the teacher’s form of the OSCARS and the cognitive abilities questionnaire.
The validity of the OSCARS was measured by confirmatory factor analysis, and its congruent validity and reliability were measured
using the Cronbach’s alpha and split-half method.
Results: The Cronbach’s alpha value of the entire scale, teacher’s form, and cognitive abilities questionnaire was ۰.۶۵, ۰.۶۰, and
۰.۸۵, respectively. The split-half coefficient for the entire scale was estimated at ۰.۶۰, and the correlation between the OSCARS and
the teacher’s form was ۰.۳۵. Moreover, the correlation between the OSCARS and cognitive abilities questionnaire with the social
cognition subscale was ۰.۱۵ and ۰.۱۳, respectively. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated the excellent fitness of the
OSCARS structure (RMSEA = ۰.۰۲).
Conclusions: According to the results, the Persian version of the OSCARS has good reliability and validity.
