You should have taken the data survey for our class project already (if you have not, please do so before you do this assignment: ).

Our survey contained a number of scales within it and we use scores on those to draw conclusions about the people within our sample. Your task for this assignment is to learn about one of those scales. You can find the PDFs for all of the scales at the bottom of the page. Please pick a scale that sounds interesting to you. For that scale please report the following:

• What is the scales's name?
• What is the scale trying to measure?
• Does it have any subscales?
• What kind of sample was it validated on? (if multiple studies were used in the paper, pick the most interesting one)
• What is the reliability of the scale (either test-retest or Chronbach's alpha)? 

If you can't answer any of these questions, please indicate what information is missing to allow you to answer the question. 

This is an easy way to see some details about measures and begin to get ideas about your Paper 1. How might these various constructs relate to each other? Would you expect a gender difference? Would age matter?
