About the test
The People Pleasing Scale was developed and validated in two German samples (Study 1: n = 571; Study 2: n = 1,323) through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and measurement invariance testing. Scores are the mean of each dimension's items and are presented as tendencies for self-reflection, not as a clinical diagnosis.
