Abstract
The internal structure and construct (convergent and discriminant) validity of the Russian-language version of the Attitudes about reality (AAR) scale developed by R. K. Unger, R. D. Draper and R. D., & M. L. Pendergrass (1986) are examined. The sample was 272 subjects. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that both one-factor and three-factor structural models have poor fit indices. The exploratory factor analysis, in turn, did not allow to obtain an interpretable factor solution. The study also showed that the internal consistency of AARS is rather low. The obtained correlations do not confirm the convergent validity of the scale, although they provide initial support for its discriminant validity. The results show that the AAR scale in its current form is not suitable for assessing individual’s beliefs about reality.
