| Abstract: | We aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Ostracism Experience Scale (OES) for adolescents. A total of 505 high school students participated in this study (mean age = 16.66 ± 1.10 years, 52.7% females). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided support to the two-factor model originally proposed. All indices suggested that the configural, metric, and scalar invariance were supported across gender. Composite reliability of scores was adequate in the total sample for the total scale (ω =.89/α =.89), as well as the ignored (ω =.89/α =.89) and excluded (ω =.91/α =.91) subscales. Ostracism total scores were associated with more physical and verbal aggression, anger, and hostility, as well as lower self-esteem. The findings of this study give credence to the use of the Arabic version of the OES-A short form among Arabic-speaking adolescent boys and girls and support its use as a self-report screening tool for ostracism.
