Abstract:

 

The present article looks into the psychometric properties of the Revised Youth Purpose Survey   RYPS  in the case of a group of Romanian students emerging adults  N = 500 . RYPS is a ten‐item  scale made of two sub‐scales which measure Purpose Exploration  4 items  and Purpose  Commitment  6 items . Confirmatory factorial analysis indicated an adequate fit of a two‐factor  model  GFI = .96; AGFI = .94; RMSEA = .057 . This structure was confirmed and it was invariant for  gender. Cronbachʹs alpha coefficients show good internal consistency: .87  Purpose Exploration  subscale  and .77  Purpose Commitment subscale . The correlations of both scales of RYPS with  validation measures of psychological and subjective well‐being and of identity orientations were  positive, indicating good convergent validity. The study validated the conceptual vision of the  authors of the instruments in a previously unstudied cultural context.
