Family Pressure Scale Ethnic [FPRESE-64]

Scale Description

The Family Pressure Scale Ethnic (FPRESE-64) is a tool designed to assess the pressure exerted by the family on individuals from ethnic groups regarding the adherence to traditional values, norms, and expectations. The FPRESE-64 scale includes 64 questions that examine various aspects of family pressure, such as expectations for social and professional success, respect for traditions, and the influence of family on decision-making.

The questions use a Likert scale to measure the intensity of agreement or disagreement of participants with statements related to family pressure.

Data Analysis and Usage

The analysis of data from the FPRESE-64 involves quantitative techniques to understand the family pressure exerted on individuals from ethnic groups. The process typically includes:

Descriptive Statistics:Means and Standard Deviations: Calculation of mean scores and standard deviations for each question or for each subscale of the scale.

Reliability: Assessment of the internal consistency of the tool through Cronbach’s alpha to determine the reliability of the results.

Correlations:Examination of correlations between scores on various questions or subscales to understand the relationships between different aspects of family pressure.

Factor Analysis:Use of factor analysis to identify key factors contributing to family pressure, if necessary.

Purpose

The primary goal of the FPRESE-64 is to provide a reliable and objective tool for assessing the family pressure exerted on individuals from ethnic groups. This can be used for:

Research Purposes: Studying the relationships between family pressure and other psychological or social variables, such as psychological well-being and adjustment.

Clinical Assessment: Evaluating the degree of family pressure experienced by individuals and how it affects their mental health.

Cultural Understanding: Understanding the differences in family pressure among different ethnic groups and its impact on personal and professional choices.

Calibration

The calibration of the FPRESE-64 involves analyzing the data obtained from the use of the scale, including:

Internal Consistency Assessment: Calculation of the tool’s reliability using Cronbach’s alpha to ensure the consistency of responses.

Comparative Analysis: Comparison of FPRESE-64 results with data from other studies or family pressure assessment tools to confirm the validity of the scale.
