The main objective of this study was to translate and validate the ACS-C for adolescents. The Attentional Control Scale for Children is an extensively used measure of attentional control in youth as well. Attentional control (AC) is the capacity to focus, sustain, and redirect one's attention deliberately and strategically. The scale translation process was carried out by following the standard International Testing Commission guidelines, including forward and backward translation, committee assessment, and pilot testing. This study sample for cross-language validation comprised 300 adolescents between the age range of 15 to 19 years (Mage= 17.50, SD = 1.32). The ACS-C is a 20-item scale with two subscales: attentional focusing and attentional shifting. The findings of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) demonstrated a good model fit to the data and the final model was retained with two- two-factor solution having 9 items in the attentional focusing subscale and 10 items in the attentional shifting subscale.
