These scales, measuring human rights awareness and commitment among social workers, were first validated in the United States. In this study, the scales were translated and adapted for the Spanish political and cultural context, and then validated in a sample of 498 social work students at three universities in Spain. The process produced two valid and reliable Spanish-language measures to explore human rights awareness and commitment in social work.engjournal article1461-7234https://doi.org/10.1177/0020872818777799https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0020872818777799open accessHuman RightsCross-cultural validationSocial work educationSocial work ethicsTrabajo Social (Trabajo Social)5309.08 Trabajo Social y Servicios Sociales
