Self-Reflection and Insight Scale – SRIS
Measures private self-consciousness, specifically distinguishing between the processes of self-reflection and the outcomes of those processes (insight).
Scale Development & Technical Details
Scale Overview
The Self-Reflection and Insight Scale – SRIS was developed by Anthony M. Grant (2001). It is designed to measure Self-reflection and insight. The scale is intended for use with Adults.
Scale Structure
This instrument consists of 20 items organized into 3 factors/subscales: Engagement in Self-Reflection, Need for Self-Reflection, Insight.
| Factor / Subscale | Items | N |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement in Self-Reflection | 1,2,3,4,5,6 | 6 |
| Need for Self-Reflection | 7,8,9,10,11,12 | 6 |
| Insight | 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 | 8 |
Response Format
Respondents rate each item using a custom response format.
Response anchors: 1 = Strongly disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Slightly disagree, 4 = Slightly agree, 5 = Agree, 6 = Strongly agree.
The scale includes 9 reverse-scored items to reduce acquiescence bias.
Scoring
Items are scored by subscale, with each subscale sum representing a distinct dimension.
Total scores range from 20 to 120. Interpretation guidelines:
- Low Self-Reflection and Insight: 20 – 53
- Moderate Self-Reflection and Insight: 54 – 86
- High Self-Reflection and Insight: 87 – 120
Psychometric Properties
Internal Consistency: The scale has demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency with reported Cronbach’s alpha values of Self-reflection subscale alpha = .91, Insight subscale alpha = .87.
Administration
The scale is self-administered and typically takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. It can be administered individually or in group settings. No special training is required for administration.
