We assessed the reliability and validity of the Personal Relative Deprivation Scale (PRDS) when translated and tested with a sample of Chinese college students. The discriminability of all items in the PRDS–Chinese was high. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the one-dimensional structure of the scale. The internal consistency coefficient, test–retest reliability, and split-half reliability results demonstrated excellent reliability for the PRDS–Chinese. Furthermore, we examined the correlations between PRDS scores and general relative deprivation, economic relative deprivation, anxiety, pressure, depression, and aggressiveness. The findings revealed moderate-to-high correlations, suggesting good construct validity. On the basis of these findings, the PRDS–Chinese can be used as an effective assessment tool for measuring relative deprivation among the Chinese population.
