Analysis

The analysis of the SCQ is based on examining individuals’ responses to the questionnaire items. Through this analysis, conclusions can be drawn regarding the participants’ social cognitive processes. The analysis can be carried out using various statistical methods, such as factor analysis, reliability analysis, and comparative analysis. These methods help in understanding the structure of the tool and its validity.

Purpose

The main purpose of the SCQ is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of social cognitive processes. This includes understanding how individuals perceive and process social information, as well as how these processes influence their behavior and social interactions. The SCQ is often used in research contexts, as well as in clinical practice for the diagnosis and intervention in social disorders.

Calibration

The calibration of the SCQ is done using a Likert scale, where participants are asked to evaluate the degree of their agreement with a series of statements. Responses are usually scored on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The total score is obtained by summing the individual scores and can be used to assess the level of an individual’s social cognitive processes. Higher scores indicate greater sensitivity and perception of social situations.

References

The literature concerning the SCQ includes research and studies that examine the reliability and validity of the tool, as well as its application in different contexts. Examples of important research works include studies published in psychology journals focusing on the development and evaluation of psychometric tools. Significant references may include works by Bandura (1986), Beck (1976), and other researchers who have contributed to the understanding of social cognitive processes.
