SIT
Schuldinduzierender Szenarien Test
Short abstract
The Guilt-Inducing Scenarios Test (SIT) is designed to assess the guilt experience of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Its development is based on a collection of 33 characterizing themes of obsessive-compulsive patients, which were reformulated into scenarios. With a total of 22 items, the procedure comprises two scales (1 guilt experience from interpersonal responsibility and consideration, k =13; 2 guilt experience from moral/norm violation and risk aversion, k = 9). Reliability: The internal consistency according to Cronbach of the first scale is α = .91, that of the second scale α = .86. Validity: To test validity, the difference of the constructs compulsion, depression, and guilt was analyzed in persons with and without obsessive-compulsive disorder. The construct guilt in particular showed significant group differences, which could also be revealed by the SIT.
