Abstract of the Article
A study was conducted to examine the factorial validity of the Flinders Decision Making Questionnaire (Mann, 1982), a 31-item self-report inventory designed to measure tendencies to use three major coping patterns identified in the conflict theory of decision making (Janis and Mann, 1977): vigilance, hypervigilance, and defensive avoidance (procrastination, buck-passing, and rationalization).
The Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire: An Instrument for Measuring Patterns for Coping with Decisional Conflict
A sample of 2051 university students, comprising samples from Australia (n ˆ 262), New Zealand (n ˆ 260), the USA (n ˆ 475), Japan (n ˆ 359), Hong Kong (n ˆ 281) and Taiwan (n ˆ 414) was administered the DMQ. The factorial validity of the instrument was tested by confirmatory factor analysis with LISREL. Five di€erent substantive models, representing di€erent structural relationships between the decision-coping patterns had unsatisfactory fit to the data and could not be validated.
A shortened instrument, containing 22 items, yielded a revised model comprising four identifiable factors — vigilance, hypervigilance, buck-passing, and procrastination. The revised model had an adequate fit with data for each country sample and for the total sample and was confirmed. It is recommended that the 22-item instrument, named the Melbourne DMQ, replace the Flinders DMQ for the measurement of decision-coping patterns. *c 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
