Perceived Adequacy of Resources: Development of a Scale

Abstract

A scale to measure perceived adequacy of resources was constructed and ana lyzed with responses from 520 adults. A 28‐item instrument assessed how re spondents felt about the adequacy of resources categorized as physical environ ment, health/physical energy, time, financial, interpersonal, knowledge/skills, and community resources. Internal consistency of the scale was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89), and items loaded as expected in the seven resource categories. A shortened version was also evaluated. The Perceived Adequacy of Resources scale appeared to offer a solution to the absence of a parsimonious and reliable scale for measuring resources.
