In a regional sample of 620 families, the four items of the Kansas Family Life Satisfaction Scale demonstrated adequate internal consistency reliability and limited construct validity. As with other satisfaction scales, however, the scale did not manifest a normal distribution of responses. The scale's social desirability characteristics were not assessed and remain unknown.
A 30-item questionnaire comprised of Rotter's I-E scale (minus 6 filler items), 6 independent questions derived from the I-E scale, and 1 independent question was administered to 93 college students. Common factor analysis assessed the dimensionality of the I-E scale, and 4 factors were identified. The relationship between the measures of locus of control was assessed, yielding evidence that the single-item measure is a valid alternative brief measure of locus of control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
