Article Abstract
Given the wide gap in cultural values and practices between Indian and Western cultural contexts, there is a need for culturally validated measurement instruments in couple and family relationships for use in India. To that end, the current study aimed to translate the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) into Tamil and examine its psychometric properties and validity in a sample of married couples from India. Using standard dyadic design-data were collected from both husbands and wives-this study involved 340 married heterosexual couples (N = 680) in India. The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that both the first- and second-order, four-factor structures with 21 items of the Tamil version of the DAS (DAS-T) fit the data well. Additionally, the multigroup analysis indicated that the factor structure, item loadings, item means, and residual variances were invariant across the dyad (husbands and wives), type of marriage (love and arranged), and type of family (nuclear and joint). The DAS-T also showed satisfactory convergent and divergent validity with other constructs, such as dyadic coping, communication patterns, and relationship satisfaction. In addition to research on marital adjustment in Indian context, the DAS-T can be used in counseling settings involving marital and romantic relationships.

Health literacy (HL) is a fundamental factor in raising health awareness and self-management, especially in contexts with increasingly complicated health systems. Its accurate and culturally appropriate measurement is necessary to support effective medical interventions. Accordingly, we translated the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) into Vietnamese and analysed its psychometric properties on the basis of data derived from respondents who completed the translated instrument.

According to literature, teachers' attitudes are a strong predictor of their differentiated instructional practice. However, empirical research exploring teachers' attitudes, specifically towards the practice of DI, is still quite limited. Currently, there is only one instrument available that assesses teachers' attitudes towards DI, that is the Teachers' Attitudes towards Differentiated Instructional Scale (TAT-DIS), which has not been explored within any Arabian country.
