Deenz Emotional Abuse Scale (DEAS)
normative dataset currently contains
170
participant records collected between
Jun 11, 2026
and
Jun 27, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 170 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 59.69 with a standard deviation of 12.61, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.906). Observed skewness (0.73) and kurtosis (-0.23) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Normative Data Notice
A total of
170
participant responses were available for this assessment.
Dimension-level norms were calculated using
144
valid response records.
Approximately
26
response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
Ethical Statement
All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
