You will answer pairs of similar questions to measure your willingness to act and the level of fear you would experience.
These two measures together are a better overall assessment of courage than one or the other on its own.
The original courage scale developed by Woodard(2004) measured courage as the product of the willingness to take action and the fear experienced while taking the action. Recent findings suggest that fear may not be a necessary part of courageous action.
Items from the original courage scale were reanalyzed using only the“willingness to act”scores. A four-factor structure—work/employment, patriotic/religion based belief system, specific social-moral, and independent courage or family based —was found. This factor solution was replicated in a slightly revised version of the scale administered to a new participant sample. Interpretation of these factors suggested that courage may be classified by more complex, context-based situations. A revised version of the scale, the Woodard Pury Courage Scale-23, is the basis for our assessment here.
