Psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the Values in Action Inventory
The character abilities reflect humanistic virtuous behavior. The purpose of this research was to confirm the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the Values in Action Inventory.
This was descriptive-analytical psychometric research. The sample consisted of 500 student teachers in Tehran who were selected by available sampling method. Participants answered the Values in Action Inventory and the Complete Mental Health Scale.
The results of exploratory factor analysis showed the existence of 5 factors that explained 76.248% of the total variance of the Inventory. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed the existence of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 factor models. The overall reliability coefficient of the Inventory was appropriate with two methods of Cronbach's alpha (0.90) and test-retest (0.88). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between the factors of this Inventory and the complete mental health scale.
The results of this research showed that the Inventory has appropriate psychometric properties to measure virtues in the non-clinical group.
