Internal Resource Perception Scale (IRPS): Survey Responses from 514 Thai Adults

Thai adults (n=514) participated in a cross-sectional psychometric study to develop and validate the Internal Resource Perception Scale (IRPS). The dataset, created by Ratana Saipanish and last updated in April 2026, contains survey responses used to establish the scale's four-factor structure and correlations with well-being and distress measures. The 25-item scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (McDonald’s omega = .96).

Use Cases

• Validate the four-factor structure (Compassionate and Ethical Nature, Adaptable Mindset, Responsible Spirit, Logical Perspective) of the IRPS based on the exploratory factor analysis results.
• Analyze correlations between perceptions of internal resources and measures of well-being (Resilience, Self-Esteem) or distress (Depression, Anxiety) as described in the study.
• Assess the psychometric properties of a psychological scale, including internal consistency and content validity, using the provided participant data.
• Conduct cross-cultural comparisons by using this Thai-context dataset as a baseline for similar studies in other populations.

Strengths

• Strong psychometric properties are documented, including a scale content validity index (S-CVI) of .94 and excellent internal consistency (McDonald’s omega = .96).
• The dataset underpins a validated 25-item scale derived from an initial 42-item pool, with a four-factor structure explaining 62.4% of the observed variance.
• Correlations with established psychological measures (e.g., Resilience ρ=.58, Depression ρ=-.41) provide evidence of construct validity.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical needs.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The data reflects a convenience sample of Thai adults, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
