Scale development

We adopted the standard psychometric procedures for scale development recommended by Hinkin (1998).

The scale was developed and refined following approaches recommended by Hinkin (1998). First, items were generated by following a theoretical framework that specified the content domain for the construct. We develped the items using a deductive approach guided by theory and research in XXXX.
