Scale for Measuring the four basic needs

  • 1.  Scale for Measuring the four basic needs

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm currently working on a research project where I'm examining the
    effects of different types of workplace offenses on four basic needs of a
    person. I'm interested in studying how the victim's need for control,
    belongingness, identity/self-esteem and moral virtue/meaningful existence is
    affected in the aftermath of an offense at the workplace.

    Does anyone know of a validated scale that can be used to measure states of
    a person's needs. I would like to measure the changes in the victim's
    intra-personal states (extent to which an offense and interactions with the
    offender violates or fulfills the basic needs in the victim).

    Thanking in Anticipation
