摘要:
The objective of this research was to develop a shorter version of the Attitudes Towards Police Legitimacy Scale (APLS) using Rasch analysis. Two studies are conducted here to reduce the 34-item APLS to the 11-item APLS Short Form (APLS-SF). It was hypothesized that the APLS-SF would also predict right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance, support for police in a hypothetical donation task, and justification of an officer involved shooting. In study 1 (N = 300) and study 2 (N = 600), participants were sampled from Prolific Academic. The APLS-SF fit the Rasch model and predicted each variable as hypothesized.
