Background and Objectives: Time management is an essential skill that enables individuals to participate in daily activities effectively. The assessment of time management skills (ATMS) is a widely used instrument to evaluate time management skills, but its psychometric properties have not been examined in Persian-speaking populations. This study aimed to assess the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the ATMS (ATMS-P).
Methods: A convenience sample of 144 healthy adults aged 18-55 years completed the ATMS-P, along with several other questionnaires. Face and content validity were determined using the impact score of each item, content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) methods. The construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and convergent validity was assessed by correlating the ATMS-P with other related measures. The reliability was assessed using internal consistency and test re-test methods.
Results: Face validity impact scores ranged from 2.2 to 4 and the CVR was in an acceptable range of 0.57 to 1, with a CVI of 0.87 to 1. The EFA identified three factors for the Persian version of the ATMS: Time management, organization and planning and emotion regulation. The convergent validity of the ATMS-P was supported by significant correlations with other related measures. The internal consistency of the ATMS-P was excellent (Cronbach’s α coefficient=0.926) and it demonstrated good test re-test reliability (ICC=0.903).
Conclusion: The ATMS-P has demonstrated good psychometric properties, making it a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating time management skills in Persian-speaking individuals.
