example <-
"The PRQ is a twelve-item, four-point Likert scale
(from one = Never to four = Very Often) with three sub-scores
bullying (PRQ-Bully), being victimized (PRQgroup-Victim),
and pro-social behavior (PRQ-Prosocial). A translated,
backtranslated final Arabic version of the scale was found
to be accurate showing good internal consistency in this
sample [PRQ-Victim (alpha = .seventy four)
and PRQ-Bullies (alpha = seventy-four)]."
