Assessing the reliability levels of self-report assertion inventories

Abstract

Reading grade levels were obtained for 11 commonly employed self-report assertion inventories by use of R. F. Flesch's (1948) Reading Ease formula. Directions for the inventories ranged from the 7th to college-graduate reading grade level; inventory items were typically more readable, with scores ranging from the 7th to the 12th grade level. Results show the importance of considering reading difficulty when selecting assertion scales.
