This score is used to compute the motivation and confidence domain score (mc_score).

Usage

get_predilection_score(csappa1 = NA, csappa3 = NA, csappa5 = NA)

Arguments

csappa1

A numeric (integer) vector representing a response to CSAPPA item 1 (valid values are integers between 1 and 4).

csappa3

A numeric (integer) vector representing a response to CSAPPA item 3 (valid values are integers between 1 and 4).

csappa5

A numeric (integer) vector representing a response to CSAPPA item 5 (valid values are integers between 1 and 4).

Details

Valid values (integers between 1 and 4) represent the following responses:

• 1 = REALLY TRUE for me for "some kids" statements

• 2 = SORT OF TRUE for me for "some kids" statements

• 3 = REALLY TRUE for me for "other kids" statements

• 4 = SORT OF TRUE for me for "other kids" statements

Value

Returns a numeric vector with values between 1.8 and 7.5 (if valid) or NA (if not valid).

Examples

get_predilection_score(
  csappa1 = c(1:3, 0),
  csappa3 = c(4, 2, 1, "3"),
  csappa5 = c(4, 4, 2, 2)
)
