Abstract (2. Language):
The present study is aimed at adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Values in Action-Inventory
of strength for the Hindi speaking Indian youth in the age range of 10 to 17. The rationale behind the study was an
absence of a comprehensive instrument aimed at assessing and identifying signature strengths for the Indian youth.
Strengths training is being successfully applied in the west as an extra curricular part across schools and a similar
model here could be successful. This study aims at studying the psychometric properties of the adapted VIA-IS
(Youth) especially the correlations and factor structure of the adpated version and in addition, the internal
consistency reliability statistics along with Criterion and construct validities. The adapted empirical version of
inventory was obtained with 16 original strengths, 8 new hybrid strengths and five virtues from 180 items in Hindi.
