@[toc] ## Scale Validation Study - Overview The NZAVS necessarily uses very short-form scales, or in some cases single items to index broad dimensions of attitudes and values. The NZAVS Scale Validation Study is a database combining samples to provide psychometric information comparing the full and short-form versions of all scales included in the NZAVS. The database is built on a primary validation sample (or foundation) that employed a planned missing design, where participants completed a random selection of ~66% of items randomly drawn from the full-scale versions for all scales included in the NZAVS. The primary sample is a rolling online questionnaire completed by undergraduates at various universities in New Zealand. The NZAVS Scale Validation Study also includes various other validation samples that have included the full versions of two or more scales used in the NZAVS. A detailed breakdown of which scales have been included in which samples is provided in the Scale Validation tab of the [NZAVS data dictionary][1]. The scale validation dataset can leverage FIML and other estimation methods allowing for missing data to test CFAs and other measurement models of the full item sets for each scale and compare them to the shortened or single item versions included in the primary NZAVS dataset. The validation dataset is designed explicitly for psychometric analysis of full versus short-form scales used in the NZAVS, rather than inferences about the mean level of some attitude or value in the New Zealand population (for that, use the NZAVS data itself). At present the scale validation study has ~n = 8900 participants. The sample size continually and gradually increases as undergraduate students participate in the validation study for partial course credit at various universities across New Zealand. ## Citation and Supplementary Materials Please use the following citation for this page: Sibley, C.

All scales have been adapted for the New Zealand context and formatted to fit with existing NZAVS questions. Items included in the NZAVS itself during one or more wave are printed in **bold.** $Order$ refers to the item order in the Scale Validation dataset. $(r)$ indicates item is reverse coded. $Loading$ $Full$ refers to the standardized item loadings from a single-factor Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) of all items included in the scale. $Loading$ $Short$ refers to the standardized item loadings from a single-factor CFA of only the items included in the NZAVS (in cases where there are three or more items). ### 50-item IPIP - Agreeableness **Source:** Goldberg, L.
