Identity Salience Questionnaire (ISQ)

 

Assessment name: Identity Salience Questionnaire (ISQ)

Scale overview: The Identity Salience Questionnaire (ISQ) is a 6-item self-report measure of two dimensions of an identity: The persistence of the identity in thought and the awareness of the identity in a context.

Read more about the concept, Identity Salience.

Response Type: Items are rated on a scale of agreement from 1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree.

Scale items

The first three items measure “Chronic Salience” and the second group of three items measure “Contextual Salience.” The letter “X” should be replaced by the researcher based on the specific social identity they are studying. The six items should be presented in random order.

Chronic salience items refer to how often someone thinks about their identity. Contextual Salience items refer to when a person thinks about their identity such as when a person says something in conversation.

 

Reliability and Validity

In the article below, the authors present evidence of stability, reliability, and validity in four studies. The studies focused on identity salience in LGBTQIA+ samples but the scale items are not limited to a specific type of self-identity.

 

Availability: The full scale along with instructions and labels for the ratings can be found in Appendix A of the manuscript, which is page 40 of the pdf file. One source of the document is https://psyarxiv.com/3hmxr/

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.”

Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ)

 

The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ) 

Overview

The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ) measures self-concept based on ratings of 18 items, which are grouped into four categories: Self-fulfilment, autonomy, honesty, and emotional self-concept.

Subscales: The PSQ has four subscales

1. Self-fulfilment

2. Autonomy

3. Honesty

4. Emotional self-concept

 👉 [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 estimated it took about 10 minutes to complete the PSQ.

Their first study included people ages 12 to 36 (n = 506). In the second study, ages were 15 to 65 (n = 1135).

Availability

The PSQ items can be found in the Goñi et al. (2011) article (see the reference below). The 18-items can be found in Table 1 on page 512. Notice the 4-items eliminated from the 22 item measure used in the first study.

Self-Concept is the focal dimension of S in the SCOPES model of functioning.
