The Swadharma Scale is designed to measure an individual’s adherence to their personal duties and responsibilities (Swadharma) across five key areas for individuals aged 20-55. The scale consists of 50 items in a Likert-type rating format and is available in both Hindi and English. It has high reliability and validity.
Five Important Areas Measured by the Swadharma Scale:

3. Spouse: Evaluates commitment, duty, and care in marital relationships.
