Psychometric Properties of the Responsibility Scale

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a free-access reliable and valid scale measuring perceived personal responsibility and discuss its psychometric properties. In the literature responsibility has defined in different ways. Most of the research focus on its situation-dependency, but it is possible to find some limited research about personal responsibility. Within this context, two sets of data collected. The first data was for factor analysis and split half reliability. Second data was to study concurrent validity. Results revealed that the scale has three constructs, namely, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral factors. Both scale and the factors have good reliability and validity values.
