Abstract EN

The current study aimed to construct the Psycho-social Life Skills among young people Scale (10-24 years) (PSLS-YS), and verify its psychometric properties using the descriptive method by applying the scale on a sample of (301) young people from Mila-Algeria.

In its final form, the scale included (62) Items on three main axes: the cognitive-oriented life skills axis, the emotional-oriented life skills axis, and the socially-oriented life skills axis.

The scale’s and its versions' through its axes psychometric properties are high on both validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha (0.902) and split-half (0.931)) and consistent with the characteristics of a good scale.

The most prevalent psycho-social life skills among the sample members were identified with the cognitive-oriented life skills, followed by the emotionally-oriented life skills and then the socially-oriented skills.

It is recommended to use the (PSLS-YS) scale or its multiple versions through its axes in various scientific studies on life skills among young people (adolescents and young adults) and in various specialized environments for assessment and evaluation
