Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Im Artikel wird eine deutschsprachige Übersetzung der Self-Monitoring-Skala (Snyder, 1974; Snyder & Gangestad, 1986) vorgestellt. Der Selbstbeurteilungsfragebogen erfasst die soziale Fähigkeit, das eigene Verhalten auf situationale Gegebenheiten angemessen abzustimmen. Es wird eine Studie unter Verwendung des Originalfragebogens in den USA (N = 188) und unter Verwendung der Übersetzung in Deutschland (N = 179) durchgeführt. Für eine erste Analyse der konvergenten Validität werden weiterhin Daten mit dem Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire erhoben. Die deutschsprachige Version der Self-Monitoring-Skala weist eine hohe psychometrische Qualität und eine zufrieden stellende Messinvarianz zur Originalversion auf. Es werden die folgenden Subskalen extrahiert: Auf andere Personen gerichtete Aufmerksamkeit,Übernahme von Rollen und Extraversion. Die vorliegende Adaptation stellt bezüglich der psychometrischen Eigenschaften und der praktischen Einsetzbarkeit eine deutliche Verbesserung zur deutschsprachigen Fassung von Kammer und Nowack (1983) dar. Abschließend werden Empfehlungen für den Einsatz der Self-Monitoring-Skala in der Eignungsdiagnostik diskutiert.
Abstract. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a translation of the Self-Monitoring Scale (Snyder, 1974; Snyder & Gangestad, 1986) into German language. This questionnaire assesses an individual's self-observation and self-control guided by situational cues to social appropriateness. In an empirical study, a US-American sample completed the original Self-Monitoring Scale (N = 188) and a German sample completed the German version (N = 179). Additionally, the Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire was administered in order to obtain an initial evaluation of the convergent validity of the German scale. The psychometric quality and measurement invariance of the translation were found to be highly satisfactory. The following subscales were identified: Other-directedness,Adopting roles and Extraversion. Compared to the German version by Kammer and Nowack (1983), the present adaptation possesses improved psychometric quality and can be used for different populations. In conclusion, recommendations for the use of the Self-Monitoring Scale in personnel assessment procedures are discussed.
