| Purpose | To assess students’ perceptions of the frequency of incivility occurring in face-to-face, remote, and hybrid learning modalities in higher education settings. |
| Description | The Academic Incivility Scale (AIS; Campbell et al., 2024) was designed to measure the frequency of incivility in higher education at the course or institutional level. Its development involved an extensive literature review on classroom and workplace incivility and bullying. After content validity analysis, 40 items were initially retained, and factor analysis refined it to 33 items grouped into two dimensions. Reliability and validity results were also reported. |

| Factors and Subscales | Factors include Interpersonal Communication and Personal Conduct. |
| Reliability | Internal consistency: Factor 1 (Interpersonal Communication: α = 0.972), Factor 2 (Personal Conduct: α = 0.890), and the full measure (α = 0.973). |
| Validity | Convergent and Divergent Validity: Negative correlation with Toronto Empathy Scale (ρ = −0.391, p < 0.001; small effect size = 0.15) and positive correlation with Attitudes Toward Classroom In/ Civility Questionnaire (ρ = 0.585, p < 0.001; medium effect size = 0.34), confirming convergent and divergent validity. |
| Factor Analysis | Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) identified two factors—Interpersonal Communication and Personal Conduct—accounting for 60% of the variance. |
