This study aims to create and validate a comprehensive tool for measuring likability.
Developed the Reysen Likability Scale for measuring likability in participants.
150 participants rated 12 individuals based on their laughter while reading a paragraph.
Assessed reliability and convergent/divergent validity of the new scale.
Coefficient alpha ranged from .90 to .91, indicating high reliability.
Higher likability ratings correlated with genuine laughter, supporting convergent validity.
Divergent validity established through correlation with Goldberg's Big Five Personality Test.
