This study was done to prepare a Persian version of the MAYSI-2 and investigate its psychometric properties among the adolescents of the Juvenile Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Mashhad. By available study sample 329 male adolescents were selected. The findings showed that the Cronbach’s alpha values for subscales were from .74 to .91. Compound reliability was also obtained in different scales between .72 and .98 indicating the optimal reliability of the scale. The CVR and CVI indicating the appropriate content validity. The results of CFA showed that the factor loading of the items was more than .5. The scale had good structural validity. The GFI of .90, IFI of .91, and RMSEA of .072 were all within the acceptable limits. Convergent and divergent validity indicators showed that the subscales benefited from the convergent validity. Our results showed that the Persian version of the MAYSI-2 had desirable psychometric properties. Therefore, it can be used for assessing mental health problems of juvenile delinquent and upcoming research.

这项研究的目的是准备波斯语版本的 MAYSI-2，并调查其在马什哈德青少年矫正和康复中心青少年中的心理测量特性。根据现有的研究样本，选择了 329 名男性青少年。研究结果表明，子量表的 Cronbach α 值在 0.74 到 0.91 之间。还获得了 0.72 至 0.98 之间不同量表的复合可靠性，表明该量表的最佳可靠性。CVR 和 CVI 指示适当的内容有效性。CFA结果显示，项目的因子负荷大于0.5。该量表具有良好的结构效度。GFI 为 0.90、IFI 为 0.91、RMSEA 为 0.072 均在可接受的限度内。收敛效度和发散效度指标表明，分量表受益于收敛效度。我们的结果表明，波斯语版本的 MAYSI-2 具有理想的心理测量特性。因此，可用于青少年犯罪心理健康问题的评估和即将开展的研究。
