Abstract

Emotional blackmail is a powerful form of manipulation in which one person close to another threaten, either directly or indirectly, to punish him if he doesn't do what those person wants. The main purpose of the present study was to examine psychometric properties of Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) including construct validity, convergent validity and internal consistency. The study was a survey type. The statistical population of this research included all of married women in Ahvaz. Out of this population, 269 women selected through convenience sampling and completed Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Scale. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed three factors (fear, obligation and guilt feeling) but two-factor structure was not confirmed. The convergent validity of Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) was supported by an expected pattern of correlation between this scale and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Scale. All correlations between the mean scores on Emotional Blackmail Scale (EB) and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Scale were statistically significant. Coefficient’ s Cronbach alpha were between 0/78 to 0/85. Findings showed that this scale can be used in clinical and research studies and the use of these scales is recommended to psychologists and family counselors.
