Inventory of Complicated Spiritual Grief 2.0

Scale name: Inventory of Complicated Spiritual Grief 2.0

Scale overview

The ICSG 2.0 is a 28-item scale. Participants are asked to think about their loss and respond to items to express their beliefs about their feelings.

The second version was published as ICSG 2.0 in 2019.

Authors: Laurie A. Burke and others (2014) - see reference below

For Version 2.0 See Burke et al., 2019 and Burke et al., 2021

Response Type

All items are rated on a 5-point Likert-type rating.

Subscales: The authors list items associated with three subscales:

1. Insecurity with God

2. Disruption in Religious Practice

3. Estrangement from Spiritual Community

Sample items

I’m confused as to why God would let this happen.

People in my spiritual community don’t want me to express my grief much or at all.

Reliability and Validity

See the publications for details. Internal consistency is strong.

Experts and focus group participants provided evidence of content validity for this revised version. Convergent validity was supported by correlations with negative religious coping subscale of the Brief RCOPE and the Religious and Spiritual Struggles scale. Discriminant validity was supported by a significant inverse relationship with the positive religious coping subscale of the Brief RCOPE.

Positive correlations with other self-concept measures were statistically significant. Other notes The authors e...

Academic Self-Efficacy Scale ASE

Overview The Academic Self-Efficacy Scale is an application of Self-Efficacy Theory to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic performance using 8-items rated on a 7-point scale. The work of Chemers et al. (2001) has been widely cited. Format The 8-items are rated on a 7-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 = Very Untrue to 7 = Very True. Sample Items 2. I know how to take notes. 6. I usually do very well in school and at academic tasks. Reliability, Validity, and Other Research notes In the article describing the development and use of the ASE, the authors observed: “As predicted, academic self-efficacy was significantly and directly related to academic expectations and academic performance.” (Chemers et al., 2001, p. 61) Sutton et al. (2011) reported Cronbach's alpha of .83 in their study of academic self-esteem and personal strengths. ASE was highly positively correlated with ACT scores (.24) and GPA (.39)....
