1. Spiritual well-being

  With God by my side, I will feel safe and peaceful.

2.  Recovering meaning and sense of control

  After experiencing the sorrow, I have realized what the most important things in life are.

3.  Ongoing physical and emotional responses

I think it’s unfair that my loved one has passed away while I still have to struggle to survive.

4. Reassuring faith

Even though my loved one is no longer alive, I believe that God is always around me and helps me.

5. Strongly missing a deceased loved one

I still miss very much my loved one who has passed away.

6. Life disturbance

I still have unconscious chills when I think of the incident.

 

Psychometric properties

The authors reported alpha = .94 for the total score. The subscale alphas range from .74 to .88.

The six factors accounted for 63.27% of the variance.

The CGRS was positively associated with another measure — Inventory of Grief.

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.

(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)....
