It was anticipated that most instruments would be developed and validated in Western settings, with limited validation in Indian adolescent samples; that multidimensional tools covering all three constructs would be fewer than single-construct measures, and that cultural and linguistic adaptation for Indian adolescents would be insufficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following Arksey and O\u2019Malley\u2019s framework and PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Google Scholar on July 28, 2024, to identify studies reporting psychometric evaluations of self-report instruments measuring these constructs in adolescents aged 10\u201319 years, published in English in peer-reviewed journals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 2,812 records identified, 15 instruments were retained after deduplication and screening, and most showed acceptable internal consistency and structural validity per COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN)-informed criteria.
