| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of a vertical version of horizontally oriented three Appraisal of Violent Situation scales that elicit women's subjective appraisals of severity, dangerousness, and controllability of violence. Construct validity of the vertical scale eliciting 64 abused women's perceptions of severity of violence experienced was supported by a low to modest correlation between that scale and the Severity of Violence Against Women Scale. Concurrent validity between the horizontal and vertical versions of the scales was demonstrated with a subsample of 26 abused women completing both. Results provide preliminary support for the revised scales. |
