The Personal Responsibility Rating System demonstrates construct validity as a measure of psychological health. Graduate students can reliably rate personal responsibility after a brief training program.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychological Assessment

Background:

  • Assessing psychological health is crucial for understanding individual well-being.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the construct of personal responsibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the construct validity of the Personal Responsibility Rating System.
  • To evaluate the trainability and reliability of the Personal Responsibility Rating System.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty-two subjects completed the California Psychological Inventory, Rotter External-Internal locus of control scale, and discussed personal problems.
  • Audio-taped discussions were rated using a personal responsibility scale.
  • Data were analyzed using correlation matrices and factor analysis.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Factor analysis supported the hypothesis that the Personal Responsibility Rating System has construct validity.
  • Study II demonstrated that graduate students could be trained to reliably rate personal responsibility within a four-hour program.

Conclusions:

  • The Personal Responsibility Rating System is a valid measure of psychological health.
  • The system is trainable and can be reliably applied by trained individuals.
