French UMCS-22: Psychometric Survey Data from Volunteer Firefighters

Data_French_UMCS-22 contains survey responses from 1,149 volunteer firefighters for the psychometric evaluation of the French version of the Unified Multidimensional Calling Scale (UMCS-22). Data were collected electronically via LimeSurvey and analyzed using Jamovi 2.3.3. The dataset was authored by Marina Burakova and last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Assessing the reliability and validity of the French UMCS-22 based on internal consistency coefficients and measurement invariance tests.
• Investigating the relationship between calling facets (e.g., transcendent summons, pervasiveness, purposefulness) and outcomes using Bayesian linear regression.
• Examining measurement invariance across gender and age groups as mentioned in the description.
• Studying the 'double-edged sword' nature of calling in the context of stipended volunteer firefighters.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 1,149 survey responses, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Internal consistency coefficients (ω-McDonald) for dimensional scores are reported between .75 and .86, with a global score ω of .96.
• Measurement model exhibited strict invariance across gender and age groups.
• Criterion validity was evaluated using Bayesian linear regression and Structural Equation Modeling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and occupational bias inherent to the specific sample of French volunteer firefighters.
