AB - The Interpersonal Trust Short Scale-the
English-language adaptation of the Kurzskala Interpersonelles Vertrauen
(KUSIV3)-measures interpersonal trust as a psychological disposition with just
three items (completion time ~30 s). The items of the German-language source
version were translated into English using the TRAPD approach. Our empirical
validation based on a heterogeneous quota sample in the UK shows that all the
reliability coefficients of the English-language adaptation and its
correlations with external variables are satisfactory and comparable to those
of the German-language source version. Moreover, the results of measurement
invariance testing suggest that metric measurement invariance of the scale
holds when comparing the UK and Germany, implying the comparability of
correlations based on the latent factors across the two nations. As an
ultra-short scale, KUSIV3 lends itself to the assessment of interpersonal trust
particularly in survey contexts in which assessment time or questionnaire space
are limited. It is applicable in a variety of research disciplines, including
psychology, sociology, and economics.
