Description
The Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale (PEAS-17) is an assessment tool that measures individuals’ attitudes and beliefs regarding performance enhancement in various activities, such as sports, education, and work. The scale includes questions that assess the positivity or negativity of individuals toward strategies that may be used to improve performance.
Data Analysis and Use
Data analysis from the PEAS-17 includes:
Scoring: Participants rate their attitudes on a Likert scale, where higher scores indicate more positive attitudes toward performance enhancement.
Descriptive Statistics: Calculation of the mean and standard deviation to determine the overall attitude toward performance enhancement in a population.
Correlation: Examination of the relationship between attitudes and factors such as age, gender, or education.
Comparative Analysis: Comparisons between different groups (e.g., athletes and non-athletes) to reveal differences in attitudes.
Objective
The objective of the PEAS-17 is to understand individuals’ attitudes regarding strategies used for performance enhancement, identify factors influencing these attitudes, and provide data for developing programs and policies aimed at improving performance in various fields.
Calibration
The calibration of the PEAS-17 involves the process of adjusting the tool for use in different populations. This is achieved through:
Cross-Cultural Studies: The PEAS-17 is tested in various cultural settings to ensure its appropriateness and accuracy.
Reliability Analysis: Techniques such as Cronbach’s alpha are used to ensure that the questions are consistent and reliably measure attitudes toward performance enhancement.
Validity Testing: Examination of whether the PEAS-17 reflects the actual attitudes of participants regarding performance.
