“…SBS-WI ( 19 ) is a uni-dimensional scale, and some of the content of items of the scale appear to be similar to the Submissive Behavior Scale ( 16 ), and scale items are based on experiences of Pakistani women with primary infertility. Some of the items were eliminated after confirmatory factor analysis, such as “I avoid making eye contact with people due to infertility”, “I remain quiet on displeasing talk of people about me”, and “Due to infertility people take me for granted and assign their tasks to me”.…”

“…Convergent validity of SBS-WI ( 19 ) was determined by correlating with a similar construct i.e., the Submissive Behavior Scale ( 16 ), and was found to be good. Discriminant validity of SBS-WI was established by correlating it with a theoretically opposite scale such as the Self Assertiveness Scale, and a significant negative correlation was found (See Table 9 ).…”

“…The format of the response by the participants for the 37 items in the SCS-WI ( 18 ) was categorized to be a Likert type 5-point scale (0 = strongly disagree, 1 = disagree, 2 = indecisive, 3 = strongly agree, 4 = strongly agree). The response format of the 21 items SBS-WI ( 19 ) was also decided to be 5-point Likert type scale (0 = Never, 1 = Rarely, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Mostly, 4 = Always).…”

“…Factor 1 (Social Distress). Items 6,8,12,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,30, and 32 had independent loading on factor 3, and it represents social distress (social factors that have an impact on women with infertility such as social comparison, diminished social status, diminished respect and importance in family, social stigmatization, negative and critical attitude of people, reduced liking in family especially in-laws, rejection by family, blaming by family, reduction in love and attention by husband, left out by husband, cold attitude of husband, uncooperative husband towards treatment, threats of being expelled from husband's home, threats of second marriage by husband and in-laws, distant relations with husband, gap in communication with husband, in-laws thinking of women with infertility as useless and take her for granted in all household chores and other tasks, social isolation, avoiding social gathering, etc.). It explained 51.11% of variance.…”

BackgroundInfertility negatively affects nearly all aspects of women’s life and is a source of demotion in the rank/status of women that they have achieved after marriage. This social rank/status demotion due to infertility may result in depression and several other psychopathologies. No extant instrument is available to measure the phenomenon of social rank in women with infertility in Pakistan.ObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to evaluate the psychometric properties and validate the Social Rank Scale for women experiencing infertility in Pakistan.MethodologyThis study was conducted in four phases. The data were collected from women with primary infertility who visited hospitals all over Pakistan from 2016 to 2018. Social Rank Scale for Women with Infertility (SRS-WI) comprising of two scales, the Social Comparison Scale for Women with Infertility (SCS-WI) and the Submissive Behavior Scale for Women with Infertility (SBS-WI), was developed.ResultsThe factor structure of 37 items of SCS-WI and of 21 items of SBS-WI was determined through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on a sample of 215 women with primary infertility with an age range of 20–45 years (Mage = 31.03; SD = 6.18). Principal component analysis with varimax rotation method yielded a three-factor solution for SCS-WI, and 32 items were retained for SCS-WI that accounted for 62.38% variance. For SBS-WI, a uni-factor solution was obtained, and 20 items were retained for SBS-WI, which collectively accounted for 42.01% variance. The factor structure for both scales was confirmed via confirmatory factor analysis among a sample of 210 participants with good model fit indices.ConclusionThe study provides acceptable psychometric properties of the SRS-WI in Pakistan. Testing of psychometric properties in different groups of samples would justify the generalized use of the instrument.

“…Although these diagnosis processes are well accepted, they are often expensive to some extents [5]. On the other hand, questionnaire or interviewbased approaches used to identify the traits [6] can be considered to be cheaper alternatives. However, these approaches are trait-specific [7], and thus, these lack potency to be scaled up.…”

Identifying physical traits and emotions based on system-sensed physical activities is a challenging problem in the realm of humancomputer interaction. Our work contributes in this context by investigating an underlying connection between head movements and corresponding traits and emotions. To do so, we utilize a head movement measuring device called eSense, which gives acceleration and rotation of a head. Here, first, we conduct a thorough study over head movement data collected from 46 persons using eSense while inducing five different emotional states over them in isolation. Our analysis reveals several new head movement based findings, which in turn, leads us to a novel unified solution for identifying different human traits and emotions through exploiting machine learning techniques over head movement data. Our analysis confirms that the proposed solution can result in high accuracy over the collected data. Accordingly, we develop an integrated unified solution for real-time emotion and trait identification using head movement data leveraging outcomes of our analysis.
