L-A-F
Locomotion-Assessment-Fragebogen
Short abstract
With the help of L-A-F, central aspects of the "Regulatory mode theory" of Higgins and Kruglanski (1995) can be quantitatively recorded. It consists of 22 items, 12 of which are assigned to the self-regulation dimension locomotion and 10 to the self-regulation dimension assessment. Reliability: In two samples of a student sample (n = 137) and a population sample (n = 198) internal consistencies of alpha = .80 and alpha = .78 for locomotion and alpha = .71 and alpha = .66 for assessment were found. Validity: The L-A-F was correlatively related to a large number of personality questionnaires. Furthermore, the factorial structure of the questionnaire was well confirmed in exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The self-regulation dimensions can be understood as one-dimensional and independent of each other. norms: Norms are given in the form of mean values and standard deviations separately for women and men from the validation sample of N = 335.
