Abstract

This study aims to develop a reliable and valid Geriatric Reaction Inventory-Simplified Form (GRI-SF). Reaction inventory for measuring anger (Evans & Stangelang, 1971) is an assessment tool in a view of stimuli for measuring the level of anger invoked from the anger-triggered experiences. Yet, the inventory, comprised of 76 items, is sometimes incapable of finishing up the lengthy questionnaire. In the sense, a simplified form of RI is necessary for those lacks cognitive ability such as stroke patients or the elderly. In study 1, a full version of Reaction Inventory was given for the elder who are above 60, and ten items out of 76 was selected to form GRI-SF based on the psychometric theory. In study 2, the reliability and validity of GRI-SF was tested by another sample group of elderly with some additional examinations. The reliability was good with Cronbach's alpha of 0.79. Based on the fact that GRI-SF measures the personal trait anger, GRI-SF should not be only strong correlation with the scores of trait anger strongly, but be less correlated with scores representing other aspects of anger. As a result, GRI-SF score showed strong correlations with trait anger among other sub-categories of State-Trait Expression Inventory (STAXI), and was less correlated with anger-out score which reflects behavioral aspect of anger. Moreover, it is less correlated (r=.41) with hostility representing attitudinal or cognitive aspects of anger. Consequently, GRI-SF, constructed by this research, is verified to be a reliable and valid tool for anger measurement.

분노반응검사(Evans & Stangelang, 1971)는 분노를 유발하는 자극의 관점에서 분노수준을 평가하는 도구이다. 그러나 이는 고령자를 대상으로 사용하기에는 문항수가 너무 많아 적은 수의 문항으로 구성된 분노반응검사가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 신뢰성이 높고 타당한 단축형 분노반응검사를 제작하는 것이다. 연구 1에서는 60세 이상의 고령자들에게 76문항으로 구성된 분노반응검사를 실시하였으며, 검사이론에 기초하여 76개의 문항들 중에서 10개의 문항을 추출하여 단축형 분노반응검사를 제작하였다. 연구 2에서는 60세 이상의 고령자들로 구성된 또 다른 표본을 대상으로 단축형 분노반응검사와 타당도 확인을 위한 검사들을 함께 실시하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 평가하였다. 노인용 단축형 분노반응검사의 Cronbach 는 .79로 양호한 수준의 신되도를 보였다. 노인용 단축형 분노반응검사는 특성분노를 반영하는 검사이므로, 특성분노를 측정하는 검사점수와 상관이 높아야하고, 분노의 다른 측면을 반영하는 점수와는 낮은 상관을 보여야 타당하다. 노인용 단축형 분노반응검사 점수는 상태-특성 표현 척도의 특성분노 점수와 .60이상의 높은 상관을 보였으며, 분노표출 점수와 .39의 상관을 보였고, 적대감 점수와 .41의 상관을 보였다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 제작한 단축형 분노반응검사는 신뢰할 수 있고 타당한 검사인 것으로 나타났다.
