The Perceived Group Inclusion Scale (PGIS)

Purpose

The Perceived Group Inclusion Scale (PGIS) includes 16 items designed as a tool to measure inclusion for research. It was demonstrated to have both nomological and predictive validity. 

Population

PGIS is used for psychological research and can be administered to varied groups (found equivalent for students and employees, men and women, cultural majority and minority) 

Typical Performance

We do not know of any published results with typical performance. As the LASSO platform collects more data, we will be able to offer better guidance on student performance.

Validity

The PGIS was developed to support inclusion research. The validation has focused on convergent and discriminant validity in order to determine the nomological and predictive validity. Tests were examined for common method bias. Relevant articles are listed below:
