Psychometric properties of the Croatian translation of the indecisiveness scale and its relationship to the Hexaco model of personality

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati psihometrijske karakteristike hrvatske verzije upitnika neodlučnosti te ispitati povezanost prevedenog upitnika s HEXACO modelom ličnosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 296 sudionika (77% Ž; Mdob = 26.27, SD=6.77). Rezultati pokazuju kako prijevod zadržava jednofaktorsku unutarnju strukturu kakvu su predložili originalni autori i ima visoku razinu pouzdanosti (ω = .91). Skraćena verzija upitnika pokazuje vrlo slične karakteristike kao i dulja verzija te se smatra adekvatnom zamjenom. Najveću povezanost s neodlučnošću pokazala je dimenzija ekstraverzije, zatim redom savjesnost, emocionalnost i ugodnost. Na razini faceta s neodlučnošću povezanost pokazuju plašljivost, anksioznost, socijalno sampoštovanje, socijalna odvažnost, druželjubivost, životnost, opraštanje, strpljivost, organiziranost, marljivost i razboritost. Pokazalo se kako srednja uporišna točka („Niti se slažem niti se ne slažem“) na HEXACO-PI-R upitniku nije dobar bihevioralni indikator neodlučnosti.The goal of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the croatian translation of the Indecisiveness Scale and examine its relationship to the HEXACO model of personality. Total sample size was 296 (77% F; Mage = 26.27, SD=6.77). The results show that the translated version retains the original one-factor structure as proposed by the original authors and has a high degree of reliability (ω = .91). The shortened version shows properties very similar to the longer version and is deemed an appropriate replacement. Extraversion showed the highest correlation with indecisiveness, followed by conscientiousness, emotionality and agreeableness. On the facet-level, indecisiveness had significant correlations with fearfulness, anxiety, social self-esteem, social boldness, sociability, liveliness, forgiveness, patience, organization, diligence and prudence. It was shown that the neutral value on the HEXACO-PI-R was not a good behavioral index of indecisiveness
