Abstract

A sample of 407 Iranian adolescents demonstrated acceptable to good model fit for the Persian versions of the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale and the Morningness-Eveningness Scale.

  • The one factor solution of the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale and the two factor solution of the Morningness-Eveningness Scale showed good validity and reliability.
  • A strong correlation was observed between raw and latent factor scores for both scales.
  • Increased scores on the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale, indicating more daytime sleepiness, were associated with lower scores on the Morningness-Eveningness Scale, reflecting more evening orientation.
  • Findings support the criterion validity of both scales in measuring sleep patterns among adolescents.
