Validity over the valuation exercised in the others = .33 <r's <.62 (p <.01) and specific behavior in assertive situations = r = .70 (p <.01)
Item analysis: 27 of 30 items correlate significantly with the total score of the scale - No. of items
-
The questionnaire is made up of 30 items that are answered on a Likert scale with six answer options (very / little frequent))
