Hello All,
Much like an earlier post, I too am embarassed to admit that I need the
list's collective wisdom in identifying the authors of a scale. It is a
group interaction scale, and the items are below. Does anyone have
information on the source of this 26-item scale? Responses range from "to
a very little extent" to "to a very great extent.
Gratefully,
Bonnie O'Neill
