The assessment of bullying-related attributes is vital in developing anti-bullying intervention and prevention programs. The revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ-R) is one tool that has been widely used for this purpose. Thus, as we noticed a rising interest in research on bullying and there is a scarcity of proper psychometric tools to assess bullying-related attributes in Bangladesh, our study aimed to translate the OBVQ-R and test the psychometric properties of the Bangla version of this questionnaire on a large Bangladeshi adolescent sample.
In Bangladesh, we collected data from grade 8-10 students (N = 567, 309 females, 258 males, Age=15.12 ± 0.81). The participants completed Bangla OBVQ-R, Beck Youth Inventory (BYI), and Children's Revised Impact of Events Scale-13 (CRIES-13).
The item response theory (IRT) analysis discarded five items and retained 15 items (Victimization=8, Perpetration=7). Both subscales had items with high discrimination (Victimization: 3.14 ± 0.67; Perpetration: 3.40 ± 1.04). Confirmatory factor analysis supported a correlated two-factor model (CFI=0.99; TLI=0.99). Both subscales (Victimization and Perpetration) and the 15-item full scale exhibited satisfactory reliability (>0.80). In line with our predictions, both subscales demonstrated significant positive correlations with BYI and CRIES-13, indicating satisfactory concurrent validity.
The results of the psychometric analyses supported the reliability and validity of the 15-item Bangla-version OBVQ-R to assess bullying involvement. Hence, this new, adapted measurement can facilitate further bullying research in Bangladesh and, thus, the development of prevention and intervention programs.
评估与欺凌相关的属性对于制定反欺凌干预和预防计划至关重要。修订后的 Olweus 欺凌/受害者问卷（OBVQ-R）是为此目的广泛使用的工具之一。因此，由于我们注意到对欺凌研究的兴趣日益浓厚，而孟加拉国缺乏适当的心理测量工具来评估与欺凌相关的属性，我们的研究旨在翻译 OBVQ-R，并在大量孟加拉国青少年样本上测试该问卷的 Bangla 版本的心理测量特性。
在孟加拉国，我们从 8-10 年级的学生（N=567，309 名女性，258 名男性，年龄=15.12±0.81）中收集数据。参与者完成了 Bangla OBVQ-R、Beck 青年库存（BYI）和儿童修订后的事件影响量表-13（CRIES-13）。
项目反应理论（IRT）分析剔除了 5 个项目，保留了 15 个项目（受害=8，加害=7）。两个分量表都有高区分度的项目（受害：3.14±0.67；加害：3.40±1.04）。验证性因素分析支持相关的两因素模型（CFI=0.99；TLI=0.99）。两个分量表（受害和加害）和 15 项全量表都表现出令人满意的可靠性（>0.80）。与我们的预测一致，两个分量表都与 BYI 和 CRIES-13 呈显著正相关，表明具有令人满意的同时效度。
心理测量分析的结果支持了 15 项 Bangla 版本 OBVQ-R 评估欺凌参与的可靠性和有效性。因此，这种新的适应性测量方法可以促进孟加拉国进一步的欺凌研究，从而制定预防和干预计划。
