Psychodiagnostic technique for personal adaptive readiness
A new psychodiagnostic technique aimed at measuring the degree of personal adaptive readiness is presented. The definition of adaptive readiness is provided, and its structure is described. In accordance with the psychometric requirements and the results of previous studies, areas of content and manifestations are determined. To describe each manifestation, two direct and one inverse questions are developed. The questionnaire consists of 90 questions. The results of all questions can be measured (on a scale from 0.4 to 0.6). The indicator of test-retest reliability in a sample of 125 people at intervals of 4 months is 0.37 with p < 0.001. The internal consistency of the procedure for the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha is high (from 0.80 to 0.84 for each of the three scales). The theoretical and convergent validity is substantiated in a sample of 350 people.
