Therefore, instruments gauging PPU are needed nation-specific languages. This study aimed to validate a modified version the Problematic Consumption Scale-6 (PPCS-6) Serbian language among 1413 adults (52.9% males) aged from 18 54 (Mage = 24.96, SD 4.46). Exploratory factor analysis on sample's random half yielded single explaining 43% total variance. Confirmatory other revealed an acceptable model fit. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was acceptable. The scale exhibited configural partial metric invariance across genders convergent validity. Latent profile identified that 8.1% participants were at risk experiencing PPU. In comparison, this value 9.6% based calculated cutoff score (≥ 19) with values (.69 .96) sensitivity specificity. To conclude, PPCS-6 appears be valid reliable for screening
