Die meting van sielkundige diepte-orientasie : 'n verdere verfyning en omlyning

Abstract

The measurement of psychological depth orientation: a further refinement. As a result of the psychometric weaknesses of the RD-Depth Questionnaire (de Jager, 1979) for measuring psychological depth orientation an effort was made to develop a new instrument. In the present study a new instrument with outstanding psychometric properties (the DJ-Behaviour Questionnaire) was successfully developed and evaluated. As a further step in construct validation the instrument was also successfully correlated with other variables. Reccomendations for future research are made.

As gevolg van die psigometriese tekortkominge van die RD- iepte Vraelys (de Jager, 1979) vir die meting van sielkundige diepte-orientasie, is 'n poging aangewend om 'n nuwe instrument te ontwikkel. In hierdie ondersoek is daar dan ook daarin geslaag om 'n instrument met besonder bevredigende psigometriese eienskappe (die DJ-Ge- dragsvraelys) te ontwikkel. As 'n verdere stap in konstrukvalidering is die instrument ook suksesvol met ander veranderlikes gekorreleer. Aanbevelings vir toekomstige navorsing word gemaak.
