Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop Tidy-up Behavior Scale Revised (TBS-R) and to examine the reliability and validity. The participants were 204 undergraduate students. Factor analysis showed that the TBS-R consisted of three factors structure; "classification", "disposal" and "orderliness". This scale had a sufficiently high degree of internal consistency (Cronbach's α=.79-.92). The scale validities were confirmed on the basis on the relationship with both the Japanese version of the Saving Inventory-Revised (SI-R) subscales for measuring hoarding symptoms and the Japanese version of the Clutter Image Raging (CIR) for measuring clutter severity evaluated by a picture rating scale measuring the clutter of rooms. From this result, reliability and validity of the TBS-R was supported.
