Fragebogen zur standardisierten Selbsteinschätzung emotionaler Kompetenzen (SEK-27)
Berking, M., Znoj, H. (2011)
The SEK-27 with 27 items measures nine competencies that are relevant for successful emotion regulation according to the competence-oriented model of adaptive emotion regulation by Berking (2010): Attention, clarity, body awareness, understanding, acceptance, resilience, self-support, confrontation and regulation. Reliability: The internal consistencies were at Cronbach's alpha = .68-.81 (subscales) and at alpha = .90 (total scale). Retest reliabilities after two weeks were rtt = .75 (full scale) and rtt = .48-.74 (subscales). Validity: The assumed factor structure was largely confirmed in the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The criterion validity could be proven by expected correlations with other measures of well-being and mental health. The comparison of the norm sample with the clinical sample was able to demonstrate the discrimination ability of SEK-27, as the two groups differed significantly. Furthermore, pre-/post measurements in the clinical sample during psychotherapeutic treatment provided evidence of the change sensitivity of SEK-27.

Driver Skill Inventory - deutsche Fassung (DSI)
Ostapczuk, M., Joseph, R., Musch, J., Dickers, J. (2019)
The German version of the DSI measures the driving behaviour of drivers in road traffic. It consists of 32 items that are evenly distributed on the two subscales "Perceptual Motor Skills" and "Safety Motives". Reliability: The internal consistency at scale level is at Cronbach's Alpha = .88 (Motor Skills) or Alpha = .82 (Safety Motives). The alpha values at item level range from alpha = .22 to alpha = .78. Validity: The subscale intercorrelation lies in the negative to low range (r = -.09 to r = .34). The two-factor structure could be verified. Positive correlations with similar constructs and negative correlations with diverging constructs could be determined. In addition, women achieved significantly higher values than men on the scale of the need for safety.

Ungewissheitstoleranzskala (UGTS)
Dalbert, C. (2002)
The UGTS with eight items for identifying how uncertain situations are evaluated allows the cross-divisional differentiation of persons based on their tolerance of uncertainty. Research on the tolerance of ambiguity or uncertainty goes back to Frenkel-Brunswik (1949). Reliability: Cronbach's alpha was alpha = .66-.72. Stability coefficients are rtt = .72 (6-month interval), rtt = .75 (3-week interval) and rtt = .71 (6-8-month interval). Validity: The single factor model could be confirmed by factor analysis. Several studies show that the UGTS could not be replaced by an authoritarianism scale for various predictions. Under stress, persons tolerant of uncertainty showed a better current well-being than persons intolerant of uncertainty. Aggregated over situations, UGTS correlated positively with habitual well-being. High UGTS values were associated with a high probability of positive reinterpretation and a low probability of avoiding coping reactions. Persons intolerant of uncertainty had a higher agreement with the treating therapists in their problem assessments than persons tolerant of uncertainty. High scores on the UGTS were more likely to be associated with seeking new information.

Video-Based Assessment of Medical Communication Competence (VA-MeCo)
Reiser, S., Schacht, L., Thomm, E., Janssen, L., Schick, K., Berberat, P. O., Gartmeier, M. & Bauer, J. (2022)
The VA-MeCo assesses basal medical communication competence of medical students. It is based on established standards of doctor-patient communication (Calgary-Cambridge Guide, CanMeds Framework) as well as on the Munich Model of professional interviewing skills. It includes 11 test items at the levels of advancing content, structuring, and establishing working relationships. Reliability: The internal consistency according to McDonald's Ω is ΩTotal= .94, ΩContent = .82, ΩStructure = .88, and ΩRelationship = .88. Validity: For content validity, findings from expert interviews are available. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the assumed three-factor internal structure. Regarding construct validity, a largely expectation-true pattern of findings of correlations with the constructs patient orientation, empathy, prior knowledge/experience, intelligence, social competence, and with the Big Five personality variables was found. Norms: A first set of norms is available from a sample of N = 395 medical students.

The RDC Education at DIPF provides survey instruments, assessment instruments and analysing tools of educational research for free charge and non-commercial re-use issues.
The GESIS service ZIS — Open Access Repository for Social and Behavioural Science Measurement Instruments provides items, scales and tests for non-commercial research purposes free of charge.
The RDC Education hosted by the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education provides questionnaire instruments and assessment tests of quantitative educational research. Every scale of a study is documented in the RDC Education and is allocated up to three theoretical constructs of schooling and instruction. This kind of documentation allows insights in the theoretic arrangement of relevant studies of educational research. Furthermore, users are enabled to compare instruments by usual statistic values (like mean, standard deviation and cronbachs alpha) and multiple search and browsing options to find appropriate instruments for their specific research purposes. The service is of charge free use and all documented assessment instruments and scales are open for non-commercial reuse issues.
ZIS is an Open Access repository for mono- and multilingual social and behavioral science measurement instruments (questionnaire, test, items, scale, index) of the GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences. Instruments on various topics in the social sciences such as job and career, health, education or politics are documented. For example, short scales to assess psychological characteristics (personality) and instruments to identify political or environment-related attitudes are available. The instruments are reviewed, documented and evaluated according to uniform scientific quality standards. All documented instruments can be used free of charge for non-commercial research purposes.
