IRPS: Internal Resource Perception Scale for Thai Adults

A psychometric dataset from a cross-sectional study of 514 Thai adults, used to develop and validate the 25-item Internal Resource Perception Scale (IRPS). The dataset was created by Ratana Saipanish and last updated on 2026-04-29. It contains survey responses measuring perceptions of internal resources across four factors.

Use Cases

• Validate the four-factor structure of internal resource perception based on the described Compassionate and Ethical Nature, Adaptable Mindset, Responsible Spirit, and Logical Perspective factors.
• Analyze correlations between internal resource scores and measures of well-being or distress mentioned in the description, such as resilience and anxiety.
• Assess the psychometric properties of a psychological scale, such as internal consistency, based on the reported McDonald’s omega value.
• Conduct cross-cultural comparisons of internal resource perceptions using a tool developed specifically for a Thai context.

Strengths

• The scale demonstrates strong psychometric properties, including excellent internal consistency (McDonald’s omega = .96).
• Content validity was formally assessed, with a scale content validity index (S-CVI) of .94.
• Factor analysis identified a clear four-factor structure explaining 62.4% of the observed variance.
• Construct validity is supported by reported correlations with established measures of well-being and distress.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small in size (53.9 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on scale validation.
