Islam allows for polygamy under conditions of justice and ability. However, many doubt the ability to engage in polygamy for fear of unexpected and substantially challenging consequences in the future. To help individuals understand themselves, the polygamy anxiety scale (PAS) was developed. This study aimed to collect items referring to the PAS from previous theoretical literature. The items were evaluated by experts (N = 21) and were shortened to 33 items. Two different types of samples were obtained. The first sample (N = 427) was used to verify the validity of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results revealed that four factors explained 71% of the total variance. The items were distributed according to financial, family, physical, and personal factors (28 items). The second sample (N = 389) was used to verify the CFA, convergent validity, and reliability. In addition, four factors were confirmed using CFA. This result was consistent with the standard. Additionally, the results revealed that all correlations between the PAS score and future marriage anxiety, general anxiety, self-esteem and marital adjustment were statistically significant. Cronbach's alpha values for the four factors ranged between 0.86 and 0.79, and the total score was 0.90. Finally, the correlations between the PAS scores and the four factors were statistically significant. The study concluded that PAS is suitable for Muslims who desire polygamy and can be used to enhance mental health and protect families, children, and wives.
伊斯兰教允许在公正和有能力的条件下实行一夫多妻制。然而，许多人因担心未来会出现意想不到且极具挑战性的后果而对实行一夫多妻制的能力表示怀疑。为帮助个人了解自己，开发了一夫多妻制焦虑量表（PAS）。本研究旨在从以往的理论文献中收集与PAS相关的条目。这些条目由21位专家进行评估，并缩减至33条。获得了两种不同类型的样本。第一个样本（N = 427）用于验证探索性因素分析（EFA）的有效性。结果显示，四个因素解释了总方差的71%。这些条目根据经济、家庭、身体和个人因素进行分布（共28条）。第二个样本（N = 389）用于验证验证性因素分析（CFA）、收敛效度和信度。此外，通过CFA确认了四个因素。这一结果与标准一致。此外，结果显示PAS得分与未来婚姻焦虑、一般焦虑、自尊和婚姻调适之间的所有相关性均具有统计学意义。四个因素的克朗巴哈系数值在0.86至0.79之间，总分系数为0.90。最后，PAS得分与四个因素之间的相关性具有统计学意义。该研究得出结论，PAS适用于渴望一夫多妻制的穆斯林，可用于促进心理健康以及保护家庭、子女和妻子。
