Development and initial validation of the Daily Goal Realization Scale

Background This paper presents the results of three studies allowing design and initial validation Daily Goal Realization Scale (DGRS). realization refers to engagement in goal-directed behavior that leads progress personal goal attain-ment; it is considered one adaptive characteristics. Participants procedure Three studies, including an study develop select items (Study 1), intensive longitudinal 2), a multiple evaluation 3), tested factorial structure, reliability validity measure. Results Multilevel confirmatory factor analysis confirmed unidimensional structure DGRS (obtained Study 1) both at individual level, captured as daily 2) 3). The va-lidity was supported by meaningful associations with other evaluations As expected, positively related achievement, engagement, likelihood success, im-portance. also demonstrated measurement invariance for comparisons scores between men women. Conclusions findings indicate brief reliable idiographic measure realization. scale has excel-lent internal consistency good criterion validity.
