ASSESSMENT INVENTORY (ICIAI): Scoring Key General
IC Indices We have used the ICIAI to produce general indices of IC scores for each social group and rating domain by simply averaging across all 19 items within each social group and domain. Item 17 should be reverse coded prior to averaging. This procedure produces eight scores -- one for each social group (4) and rating domain (2). Scale
Scores In
addition to general IC indices, four scale scores can be produced for
each social group and rating domain. The scale names, items, and item
numbers are given below in the following table:
To
produce scores for each the scales, simply average the items associated
with that scale, separately for each social group and rating domain.
Again, Item 17 should be reverse coded prior to averaging. This
procedure results in 32 scores per individual: four scale scores x 2
rating domains x 4 social groups. Data
from several studies conducted by our laboratory using the ICIAI were
aggregated into a single data set for analyses. The total n for
these analyses was 1152, and consisted of 526 Americans, 161 Russians,
130 Japanese, 128 Koreans, and smaller numbers of individuals from a
variety of countries in Asia, Europe, and Latin and South America. All
were undergraduate university students. Average age of the entire sample
was 21.96 years. All subjects completed the original version of the
ICIAI, which had 25 items for each of the four social groups in both
rating domains. Eight
principal components factor analyses were performed on the 25 items,
separately for each social group and rating domain. We considered items
to load reliably on factors if they met the following criteria: (1) the
factor loading for that item was greater than or equal to 0.4; and (2)
the item loaded consistently on at least six of the eight analyses. All
items not meeting these two criteria were excluded from further
consideration. Scale scores were then produced by averaging across all
items for that scale. Item #17 loaded negatively on the first factor,
and thus was reverse keyed prior to averaging. We then computed
Cronbach�s alpha, standardized item alphas, and item-total
correlations for each of the 32 scale scores (four scales x four social
groups x 2 rating domains). We then applied a third criterion to the
items to be considered loading on each scale, excluding items that had
item-total correlations less than or equal to 0.30. Alphas and
item-total correlations were recomputed for the final set of items. |

As
seen in Table 1, only 19 of the original 25 items met inclusion
criteria. Examination of the items loading on each factor led us to
label the factors thus: |
