Summary
The Persian Workplace Gaslighting Scale is a reliable tool for identifying psychological abuse in nursing. It shows strong validity and internal consistency, aiding in workplace well-being.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Nursing Research
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Gaslighting is a psychological abuse tactic undermining reality perception.
- It is prevalent in nursing workplaces, often manifesting as subtle bullying.
- Power imbalances exacerbate gaslighting in professional relationships.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Workplace Gaslighting Scale.
- To establish the reliability and validity of this scale within the nursing context.
- To provide a tool for assessing gaslighting experiences among Iranian nurses.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 306 nurses was conducted online.
- The Workplace Gaslighting Scale was translated into Persian using the forward-backward method.
- Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analyses (Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega) were performed.
Main Results:
- The two-dimensional model of the Persian scale showed good fit indices in CFA.
- Excellent internal consistency was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha (0.911) and McDonald's omega (0.912).
- Convergent and discriminant validity were supported, indicating the scale accurately measures gaslighting.
Conclusions:
- The Persian version of the Workplace Gaslighting Scale possesses strong psychometric properties.
- It is a reliable instrument for assessing gaslighting in Iranian nursing environments.
- The scale can aid in identifying and addressing psychological abuse in healthcare settings.

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
