Ostracism Threatened Needs Scale (Adolescent, Youth), OTNS-AY (in Russ.)

The article provides data on the standardization of the methodology “Ostracism Threatened Needs Scale (Adolescent, Youth), OTNS-AY (in Russ.)”, which is a modification of the “Need Threat Scale” methodology (I. van Beest, K.D. Williams, 2006). In the Russian version, OTNS-AY is represented by four subscales: the need for belonging, self-esteem, control and meaningful existence. The study involved 2351 people aged 14 to 25 years (M = 18.4 years, SD = 2.59). Distribution of the sample by gender: male 23.9%, female 75.8%. To assess the internal consistency of the questionnaire subscales, Cronbach’s Alpha consistency assessment was used, which showed good consistency of all 4 subscales: “belonging” (0.83), “selfesteem” (0.80), “control” (0.84) and “meaningful existence” (0.84). The general model of the four first-level factors and two second-level factors questionnaire was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, which showed good fit to the data: SRMR=0,046; CFI=0,99 RMSEA=0,043. To assess external validity, the questionnaires “Diagnostics of Affiliation Motives, A. Mehrabian (in Russ.)”, “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (in Russ.)” and “Purpose-in-Life Test by D. Leontiev (in Russ.)” were used. The appendix to the article contains the text of the OTNS-AY (in Russ.) with instructions, key and interpretation.
