The Arabic version of NEGORI was administered to a sample of (49) adolescents and whose ages (12, 15, and 18) years old in Palestine. The researchers used the following for validation: For validity, we used Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Structure Validity.

Cronbach's alpha for the whole items was (.924), a very high value, and Cronbach's alpha for the whole groups was (.903). Split Half Method revealed (.861) for the first part and (.844) for the second part - (both of the two values were high). Spearman-Brown Coefficient was (.951).
