The Group‐Related Collective Agency Scales ( GCAS ‐23 and GCAS ‐12)—Full and Short Form Scales for Construct Measurement
Dados Bibliográficos
Collective agency refers to a group's perceived ability to come together, establish common goals or shared interests and take action to attain those goals/interests. Given the absence of rigorously developed scales available to measure the social construct, the aim of this study was to clarify the conceptualization of collective agency and to identify both long and short scales that actors can employ to measure collective agency. Using a rigorous approach that was informed by a conceptual framework and combined factor analysis and item‐response theory methods, we analyzed cross‐sectional data from participants of Farmer Organizations in Nigeria to assess measurement properties of survey items designed to operationalise group‐related collective agency. Results of the factor analyses demonstrated good model fit. After identifying a valid group‐related collective agency scale (GCAS‐23), we identified a 12‐item short form scale (GCAS‐12). We recommend the use of these scales to inform the design, monitoring and evaluation of health and development programs expected to affect collective agency and to enhance measurement of the ‘power with’ dimension of empowerment.
