The phrase 'adapted scale' is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a different type of measurement or scale that has been altered to better suit a particular purpose or situation. For example, "The researchers used an adapted scale to measure the effectiveness of the new drug."
Therefore, the adapted scale used in this study could be better at identifying consequences related to only some substances.
Finally, a new class situation with very similar characteristics and with the same participants was assessed with the adapted scale.
Participants' self-efficacy beliefs were measured using an adapted scale from Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1999): 7 items (α = .67), e.g., "I can always manage to solve difficult problems if I try hard enough"; 4-point Likert-type scale, from 1 = "Not at all true" to 4 = "Exactly true".
To measure virtual empathy we applied an adapted scale of the CAES (López-Pérez et al., 2008; Gorostiaga et al., 2014) consisting of 33 items measuring the adoption of perspective, emotional understanding, empathic stress and empathic joy, with responses being recorded on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (totally disagree), 2 (disagree), 3 (agree) and 4 (totally agree).
There are many potential reasons why a cross-culturally adapted scale fails confirmatory analysis.
We called this scale the DSM-IV-TR substance dependence Adapted Scale (DAS) in this paper.
African languages were replaced by the Spanish of Cuba's colonial rulers, and the melody lines adapted scales and contours from Spanish songs.
Adapted scaling factors cause the tuned parameters to converge to obtain a robust control performance.
Despite these difficulties, the adapted SCALEs method proved to be successful at identifying genomic regions for which increased copy number promotes aminoglycoside resistance.
Our analysis efforts focused first on validating the reliability of the data provided by the adapted SCALEs methodology and on assessing the enriched resistance regions as well as the overlap among enrichment patterns obtained for each aminoglycoside.
Further, the adapted scales are based upon adult personality disorders and do not include observational data and informant reports, which are recommended for assessing childhood personality traits [ 30].
