Here is an overview of the materials in the repository:
- The file `Smith(2019)_Bipolar_Self_Efficacy_Scale_Development_PrePrint.pdf` is a copy of the manuscript that was accepted for publication.
- A copy of the scale can be found in the file named `BPSES - Final Scale.docx`. You can also view a larger battery of items that were used during the scale development process, in the file `BPSES - Original Battery.docx`.
- The `FACTOR` folder contains materials and output from exploratory factor analyses. These were performed using the [FACTOR][2], a fantastic free factor analysis program developed by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Spain. The files with `.txt` extensions contain output from analyses performed using FACTOR.
- The `R` folder contains files from analyses performed using [R Studio][3]. These include R data files, [R Markdown files][4], and PDF files that contain a mix of R code and output, interspersed with comments describing the results.
A lay summary of the study can be found on the [Centre for Clincial Interventions website][5].
