Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS, Lawton, 1975; Liang & Bollen, 1983)

Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS, Lawton, 1975; Liang & Bollen, 1983)


Instruktion: Ich möchte Ihnen jetzt einige Sätze vorlesen, mit denen sich Menschen manchmal selbst beschreiben. Ich lese Ihnen immer einen Satz vor und würde Sie dann bitten zu beurteilen, inwiefern diese Aussage auf Sie zutrifft.

(suffix x1 = Fünf-Punkte-Skala) / suffix x2 = vereinfachte dichotome Skala;
1 = ja, 2 = nein)

1 = trifft sehr gut zu
2 = trifft gut zu
3 = teils/teils (dazwischen)
4 = trifft kaum zu
5 = trifft überhaupt nicht zu

Instruction: I would like to read some sentences to you with which people sometimes use to describe themselves. I will read one sentence at a time, and then you are to judge if this statement applies to you.

(suffix x1 = five-point scale) / suffix x2 = simplified dichotomous scale; 1 = yes, 2 = no)

1 = applies very well
2 = applies well
3 = applies on average
4 = hardly applies
5 = does not apply
