The present study was conducted to develop and validate a self-report measure of Submissive Behavior Scale
for Women with Infertility (SBS-WI). A mixed method approach was used to construct the scale. The
exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was run to explore the factor structure of the scale. The factorial validity of
21 items scale was determined on a sample of 215 women with primary infertility, of age range from 20-45 year
(Mage = 31.03; SDage = 6.18).The sample was collected from private and government hospitals, and clinics of
major cities of four provinces of Pakistan through a purposive sampling technique. The principal component
analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation method yielded a unidimensional factor solution, which collectively
accounted for 43.91 percent variance retaining 20 items. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) validated the
findings of the EFA. The sample for CFA comprised 210 women with primary infertility whose ages ranged
between 20 and 45 year (Mage = 32.42, SDage = 5.49). A positive relationship with Submissive Behavior Scale
(Allan & Gilbert, 1997) supported the convergent validity (r = .43, p = .01); and a negative relationship with
Assertive Behavior Scale (Zahid, 2002) supported the divergent validity (r = -.57, p < .001) of the scale.
Internal reliability of the scale was measured through Cronbach’s alpha = .92. Moreover, the test-retest
reliability was measured with one month interval (r = .94, p < .001). The SBS-WI appeared as a propitious
measure with good items homogeneity, internal consistency, and effective patterns of validity.
