CorBel
Core Belief-Skala (2. überarbeitete Version)
Short abstract
The CorBel Scale is a self-assessment instrument for capturing the 97 nuances of the CorBel model, the most differentiated model on beliefs to date. The original German version contains 291 items that reliably capture the 97 nuances of the CorBel model with 3 items per nuance. In addition, three short versions (CorBel-101, CorBel-60, CorBel-20) and an English version were developed. Reliability: For all 97 nuances homogeneity in the sense of Omega(total) could be confirmed (median at .82). Validity: Content validity can be assumed for the items due to the high specificity of the nuances. One-dimensionality in the sense of factorial validity could be confirmed for all nuances.
