Abstract

The article focuses on the study of the main psychometric characteristics of the author's questionnaire for assessing the propensity to gaslighting in interpersonal relationships. A multiparametric approach to the psychodiagnostics of the phenomenology of gaslighting is defined as the subject of scientific research, the goals are to develop a diagnostically significant model for assessing the propensity to gaslighting in interpersonal relationships, implementing it in the questionnaire of the same name with its subsequent approbation. The research methodology was based on axiological, humanistic, activity and polysubject approaches in psychology, relationship theory and deviantology. Semantic content analysis, expert survey, psychological testing, self-assessment were used at different stages of scientific research. The total volume of the empirical sample was 165 people (including 17 experts and 148 subjects). Mathematical and statistical data processing involved the calculation of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, which was implemented in MS Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics v 27 software products.
 Based on the results of theoretical and analytical research, a six-parametric gaslighting model was developed, which was the basis for the corresponding questionnaire. The measuring framework of the methodology and the degree of severity of gaslighting is formed by six private scales: 1) «behavioral intolerance»; 2) «expressive dominance»; 3) «projection of personal problems»; 4) «intrigue» (manipulation); 5) «verbal-behavioral discongruence»; 6) «devaluation of the other», from which an integral indicator is formed. During the psychometric study of the questionnaire, its high criterion validity was confirmed – statistically significant correlations with self-assessments of the same name were established (Rs = 0.42-0.63 at p=0.01). It is assumed that the technique has a good diagnostic potential, and can be used to study the phenomenology of gaslighting. Innovative are: the stimulus material of the questionnaire, the description of diagnostic scales, psychometric parameters of the methodology. The material makes it possible to provide psychodiagnostics with innovative diagnostic tools that provide solutions to a wide range of tasks in the field of not only psychodiagnostics, but prevention, assistance and correction
