A curated dictionary of psychometric instruments, used by codebook_check to
identify named scales in shared data by matching column-name prefixes /
acronyms and confirming them against codebook item wording and the paper text.
Combines the OpenScales community repository with curated additions of
widely-used instruments not in OpenScales. Acronyms that collide (e.g. AQ =
Autism Spectrum Quotient and Aggression Questionnaire) are kept and
disambiguated at match time; genuine duplicates are removed.
Format
A data frame with one row per instrument and 4 columns:
- name
Canonical full name of the instrument.
- acronym
Short trigger acronym (>= 2 characters, not a common English word); empty when none is safe. May be shared by several instruments.
- code
OpenScales code (empty for curated additions); links to the OpenScales
.osddefinition for subscale / scoring / reverse-coding detail.- source
"openscales"or"curated".
