We developed and provided initial validation for a 15-item scale for use with academics. In Phase 1, we utilized a review of the literature, focus groups, and expert feedback to generate 36 items. In Phase 2, we conducted item and exploratory factor analyses to reduce the number of items and assess the factor structure (N = 212; 51.4% female; mean age 48.93 years, SD = 9.45). In Phase 3, we conducted confirmatory factor analyses to verify the initial structure (hold-out sample: N = 210; 56.7% female; mean age 49.20 years, SD = 9.98). In Phase 4, we provided construct validity.
