Abstract

This study examined the relationship of two methods of scaling the Outdoor Situational Fear Inventory - continuum scaling and the more easily scored certainty method of scaling. Although item-by-item correlations varied widely, overall and subscale score relationships were strong. The data also suggested ways to clarify interpretations of earlier continuum scaled OSFI scores.
