To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic translation of the full-length Profile of Mood States (POMS) and examine the validity of an alternative short form.
Administered the Arabic POMS alongside a battery of psychological assessment tools to Arab immigrants (N=537).
Conducted confirmatory factor analyses along with assessments of internal reliability and concurrent validity.
The full-length POMS factor structure showed acceptable fit only after correlating 14 pairs of error terms, whereas a newly developed short form demonstrated superior model fit.
The short-form version demonstrated sound reliability and concurrent validity, though substantial inter-factor correlations persisted irrespective of education levels or distress severity.
