Assessment
names: Peace Evaluation Across Cultures and Environments (PEACE)
Scale
overview: The PEACE scale is a five-point Likert-type
scale consisting of seven subscales derived from 41 items.
The
research team developed a working definition of peace: A feeling of
calm and/or freedom from struggles within self and others in a non-violent
environment where hope outweighs resignation.”
Subscales:
There are seven
subscales each having six items except Basic Needs, which has five items. The
seven subscales are organized according to two factors. The subscales are
listed below along with Cronbach’s Alpha values.
Psychological Factor
Emotional tone, 0.83
Agency, 0.72
Hope, 0.73
Tolerance, 0.65
Social / Environmental Factor
Basic Needs, 0.69
Safety, 0.79
Group Cohesion, 0.76
Internal
consistency values can be found next to the seven subscales reported above.
The test-retest
value for two weeks between testing was 0.89 overall. Values for the subscales
range from 0.78 to 0.90.
The authors
reported the results of a factor analysis in their article. They found two
groupings: Psychological and Social/environmental, presented above.
