Bisexual Identity Inventory (BII)

Scale name: Bisexual Identity Inventory (BII)

Scale overview: The Bisexual Identity Inventory measures dimensions of bisexual identity using 24-items rated on a 7-point scale.

Authors: Paul, Ron, Smith, Nathan Grant, Mohr, Jonathan J., & Ross, Lori E. (2014).

Response Type: 7-point Likert-type ratings from 1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree.

Subscales: Four (coefficient alphas in parentheses from two samples)

Illegitimacy of Bisexual Identity (.80, .84)

Anticipated Binegativity (.78, .73)

Internalized Binegativity (.87, .84)

Identity Affirmation (.91, .93)

See Paul et al. (2014b) for factors and psychometrics.

Sample items

1. People probably do not take me seriously when I tell them I am bisexual.

24. I would be better off if I would identify as gay or straight, rather than bisexual

Reliability: Coefficient alphas range from .73 to .93 for the

Validity: All subscales except Identity Affirmation were significantly correlated with depression (Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale). Identity affirmation was significantly positively correlated with a measure of outness (Outness Inventory).

Availability: The full set of 24 items is in PsycTESTS – see reference below.

Permissions: “Researchers may use this scale without contacting us to obtain permission. However, we ask that reports of findings using this scale be forwarded to Nathan Grant Smith.”

It is a likert-type rating scale with high internal consistency values and has been used with youth and adults. Subscales : The PSQ has four subscales 1. Self-fulfilment (6 items) 2. Autonomy (4 items) 3. Honesty (3 items) 4. Emotional self-concept (5 items) 👉 [ Read more about Self-Concept and Self-Identity] The PSQ is a Likert-type scale with five response options ranging from totally disagree to totally agree. Reliability and Validity In the first study, coefficient alpha = .85 and in study two, alpha = .83. Data analysis supported a four-dimensional model (see the four categories above). Positive correlations with other self-concept measures were statistically significant. Other notes The authors e...

Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Questionnaire (MSEAQ)

Scale name: Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Questionnaire (MSEAQ) Scale overview: The Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Questionnaire (MSEAQ) is a 29-item self-report measure of both mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety. Author: Diana Kathleen May Response Type: Items are rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale following a “no response” option: 1 = Never 2 = Seldom 3 = Sometimes 4 = Often 5 = usually Sample items 1. I feel confident enough to ask questions in my mathematics class. 6. I worry that I will not be able to get a good grade in my mathematics course. Subscales and basic statistics for the MSEAQ Self-Efficacy M = 44.11, SD = 10.78, alpha = .93 Anxiety M = 46.47, SD = 12.61, alpha = .93 Total Scale M = 90.58, SD = 22.78, alpha = .96 Reliability: See the Cronbach’s alpha levels reported above.

Authors: Fox, Cashwell, and Picciotto [ Read more about Spiritual Bypassing in Psychotherapy] Response Type: The 13 items are rated on a four-point scale of agreement. Scale items Data analyses from two ethnically diverse US adult samples supported two factors (Psychological Avoidance, PA; Spiritualizing, SP). PA example: When I am in pain, I believe God will deliver me from it SP example: When someone I know is in trouble, I believe it is because they have done something wrong spiritually. Psychometric properties Cronbach’salphas: Total scale = .85, PA = .82; Sp = .75. The total SBS score was associated with the ASPIRES subscales except for connectedness. PA was associated with depression and SP with stress and anxiety (DASS-21). The over...
