Background and Purpose: Learned helplessness is the response shown by an individual who has experienced continual unpleasant stimuli that they could not control. Learned helplessness is correlated with various mental states. The aim of this study was to standardize the Learned Helplessness Scale: Persian Short Form (LHS-PSF).
Method: The LHS-PSF (Ward, 2020) was translated and back-translated by researchers and then finalized after preliminary evaluation in a sample to ensure cultural and linguistic equivalence. Then, 165 students from universities in Shahroud, Iran completed the LHS-PSF. Statistical analysis was conducted to assess validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using SPSS-26.
Findings: The results showed that the LHS-PSF had an acceptable internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.71), and the two-week test-retest reliability of this scale was also 0.81. Concurrent validity also revealed a correlation of 0.37 between this questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory.
Conclusion: The Persian form of the Learned Helplessness Short Form Questionnaire is a tool with acceptable validity and reliability that can be used by clinicians.
