الملخص EN

The aim of this study was to develop a new scale to assess behavioral deviation scale (BDS) and to further explore its psychometric properties.

a sample of 540 Saudi university students (43.15% males, age M-22.32; SD-5.65years) recruited via online survey that contains a sociodemographic questionnaire and the BDS participated.

exploratory factor analysis [EFA], confirmatory factor analysis [CFA], reliability, were performed to assess the instrument's psychometric properties.

the results from the EFA revealed a six-factor structure for BDS that was also confirmed by the CFA.

it was found to the BDS showed good reliability (a=0.94), and all of its items were kept.

the 33 items of the BDS are valid, reliable, and proved to be highly suitable for measuring behavioral deviation.

it is envisaged that the BDS will help facilitate unified research in the field.
