The authors report internal consistency reliabilities (alphas) of 0.78-0.87, and test-retest reliabilities of 0.31-0.71. Further studies have reported alphas of 0.74-0.89, test-retest reliabilities of 0.37-0.74, and split-half reliabilities of 0.64-0.74 (please see Key References for more details).

The authors report evidence of moderate concurrent and divergent validities. Further studies have reported evidence of moderate convergent validity (please see Key References for more details).
