Description

The Self-Perceived Victimization Revised Scale-13 (S-PVRS-13) is a psychometric instrument designed to assess the extent to which individuals perceive themselves as victims across different life situations. It consists of 13 items addressing subjective victimization in social, occupational, family, and interpersonal contexts.

Purpose

The main purpose of the S-PVRS-13 is to assess the subjective experience of victimization and to identify individuals who may report elevated feelings of being mistreated, disadvantaged, or discriminated against. It can also help explore emotional and behavioral reactions associated with perceived victimization.

Statistical Analysis

Data analysis may include reliability analysis, such as Cronbach’s alpha, factor analysis, and statistical examination of relationships between perceived victimization and variables such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.

Psychometric evaluation may also involve confirmatory factor analysis and cross-validation across different populations and cultural contexts.

Applications

The S-PVRS-13 can be used in psychological, social, clinical, and organizational research, particularly in studies examining the relationship between perceived victimization, mental health, behavior, and interpersonal functioning.
