Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Revised Causal Dimension Scale: A Nepalese Investigation
Keyword(s):
Best Fit
◽
The Causal Dimension Scale-II is conceptually important for research on attributions as it taps directly the subjects' own views of the dimensions underlying their causal ascriptions. However, this research based on the responses of 120 Nepalese tertiary students to the Causal Dimension Scale-II for both success and failure outcomes indicates that the internal consistency reliability of the External Control scale is of doubtful adequacy and that the best fit model for success outcomes combines the Locus and Personal Control scales while no adequate fit was found for failure outcomes. It is possible that these latter findings may be due to cultural differences in causal attributions rather than a deficiency in the scale's structure.
