The Construct Validity of Four Protestant Ethic Attitude Scales

The six subscales of the Survey of Work Values, the Protestant Ethic Scale, and the pro- and nonProtestant Ethic Scales were intercorrelated for a sample of 152 college students. Compared to those scores obtained 15 years earlier, the current data yielded comparable internal-consistency estimates of reliability and a similar pattern of relationships among the scales. However, mean scores on the scales were significantly higher for the current sample (p < .01). The nonProtestant Ethic Scale was significantly related to three of the Survey of Work Values subscales (p < .01): (a) positively with Social Status and Attitude Toward Earnings (both extrinsic scales) and (b) negatively with the Activity Preference intrinsic scale.
