computerized version. Internal consistency reliability, correlation and satisfaction of
the LDI computerized version were examined. The subjects testing and evaluating the
LDI computerized version in this study were 140 students studying at Matthayom 6
(grade 12) of Watraikhingwittaya, Nakornprathom.
The result found that the LDI computerized version has high internal
consistency reliability at 0.916. The LDI computerized version has a positive
relationship with the LDI traditional version at a high correlation and with significant
diffence at p<0.01 (r = 0.879). Regarding the level of satisfaction, it was found that
the subjects were very satisfied with the LDI computerized version. Furthermore, the
subjects preferred the computerized version to the traditional version.
In conclusion, the results in this study indicate that the LDI computerized
version is an efficient psychological health instrument that can be used as a practical
alternative to the traditional version. Further investigation should be made regarding
