The present study aimed to translate and standardize the Emotional Abuse Questionnaire (EAQ). This research was completed in two phases. The objective of Phase 1 was to translate the scale into Urdu using the standard back-translation procedure. The purpose of Phase 2 was to standardize the Urdu version of EAQ. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from 250 participants (girls and boys) with age range of 12 to 18 years from educational institutions. A set of descriptive analyses was used to organize and summarize data. The internal consistency of the translated scale was 0.89 and the test retest reliability was 0.96. The scale’s construct validity was established through exploratory factor analysis. Six factors were loaded whose eigen value was greater than 1 and the total variance of these factors was 70.77. The convergent validity of the scale was 0.85. All the results were statistically significant
