TOBON-RESTREPO, Luis Javier. Instrumentto Assess Existential Personal Responsibility: An Exploratory Study. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.3, pp.151-185. Epub 06-Out-2021. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.37.3.171.2.
The concept of personal responsibility in existential psychotherapy has traditionally been theorized based on the contributions of phenomenological existentialism in philosophy, and although it has been contrasted in different clinical experiences, this has not led to being subjected to systematic evaluation through quantitative research, because of this, the scale presented here is a relevant contribution, albeit limited, to the methods and inputs of research in psychology, especially for the existential approach. The objective of this study is to propose an adequate measurement strategy for the cons- truct of existential personal responsibility in people between 17 and 35 years old. The performed procedures and psychometric results of the exploratory evaluation are presented in this paper, also various findings and theoretical elaborations. The sample consisted of 479, young adults from the city of Medellín. The exploratory analysis allowed the identification of two factors, one that evaluates the conscience of freedom and the other the personal choice. An adequate internal consistency was found with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84.
