본 연구는 Langenfeld의 성격 우선순위 검사(Langenfeld Inventory of Personality Priorities: LIPP)를 상담과 교육현장에서 우리 나라 대학생들을 대상으로 사용할 수 있는지 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 이를 위하여 LIPP를 K-PPS 대학생용으로 번역하고, 남녀대학생 550명에게 실시하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 확보하였다. LIPP의 요인분석결과 Langenfeld의 연구에서와 마찬가지로 5개의 요인(기쁘게 하기, 성취하기, 뛰어나기, 억압하기, 회피하기)이 추출되었으며, 문항변별도와 문항난이도, 문항양호도를 검증한 결과 5문항이 제외된 63문항으로 척도를 재구성하였다. 이 척도의 내적 합치도는 .807으로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 하위요인간 상관관계는 아주 낮은 것으로 나타나 요인 행렬과 함께 각 요인의 상호독립성을 뒷받침 해주었다. 재검사 신뢰도는 .882로 높은 편이다.

The aim of this study was to develop the Korean Personality Priorities Scale(K-PPS) and examine its reliability and validity. The LIPP was translated into Korean(K-PPS) and administered to 550 college students. The final version of the K-PPS consisted of 63 items which were selected from the original pool of 68 items in the LIPP, leaving out 5 items with low factor loadings. The K-PPS showed internal consistency coefficient of .807 and moderate to high correlation was obtained between K-SSRS(Korean Version of social Skill rating System) and Self-esteem subscale, suggesting good concurrent validity. Test-retest reliability coefficients was .882. The result of the factor analysis showed that the K-SSP has five factor structure represented: Pleasing, Achieving, Outdoing, Suppressing and Avoiding. This factor structure was similar to the original five subscales of the LIPP. The intercorrelations between subscales were very low. The subscales correlations in K-SSP were -.134～.413 K-PPS as a valid and reliable measure of the Personality Priorities. The results of this study and the directions of furture study were discussed.
