Several steps were taken including item suggestion and discussion by an expert panel, sequential item reduction to maximize internal consistency using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A sample comprised 1108 community-dwelling participants. Internal consistency and construct validity of the PLATS were examined. The 10-item scale showed good psychometric properties. There was a significantly moderate association between PLATS scores and COVID-19 preventive behaviors (<i>r</i> = 0.564; <i>p</i> < .001), indicating that a greater tendency to abide by public regulations was positively associated with more adherence to health recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study findings suggest the PLATS is a promising new scale for assessing individuals' tendency to abide by general public laws that could provide an empirical basis for further study on this topic.</p>","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"32 4","pages":"616-631"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12341764/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144849589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
