Scale Overview
The Experienced Autonomy in the Examination Context Scale was developed by Janke (2012). It is designed to measure Autonomy in the examination context. The scale is intended for use with University students.
Scale Structure
This instrument consists of 6 items organized into 2 factors/subscales: Self-determined Autonomy, Externally Determined Autonomy.
| Factor / Subscale | Items | N |
|---|---|---|
| Self-determined Autonomy | 1,2,4,6 | 4 |
| Externally Determined Autonomy | 3,5 | 2 |
Response Format
Respondents rate each item using a custom response format.
Response anchors: 1 = Does not apply at all, 2 = Mostly does not apply, 3 = Partially applies, 4 = Mostly applies, 5 = Completely applies.
The scale includes 2 reverse-scored items to reduce acquiescence bias.
Scoring
Items are scored by subscale, with each subscale sum representing a distinct dimension.
Administration
The scale is self-administered and typically takes approximately 2 minutes to complete. It can be administered individually or in group settings. No special training is required for administration.
