Psychometric Evaluation of the Slovak Version of the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS)

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS), including both the original 20-item version and the recently introduced 12-item short version. Two samples, totaling 440 participants, were used to examine the factorial structure, convergent validity, and test-retest reliability of the scale in the first phase. In the second phase, the factorial structure of the short version was replicated on 1132 participants. The results indicated that the long version of the scale did not meet the required criteria. However, our findings provide initial support for the short version of the scale. Despite its limitations, this study serves as an important first step in the validation process for the Short Self-Reflection and Insight Scale and potentially provides a basis for future research using this version of the scale in the Slovak language.
