The Sense of Agency (SoA) refers to the subjective experience controlling one’s actions and external events resulting from those actions. This study aimed critically evaluate construct validity, robustness, clinical utility Scale (SoAS) in an Italian-speaking population, using a data-driven approach explore potential factor structures. A sample 992 adults completed SoAS alongside other validated psychological measures, allowing for comprehensive analysis scale’s psychometric properties. An iterative process exploratory confirmatory analyses (EFA CFA) was implemented assess both two-factor bifactor models. refined 10-item version established, comprising two distinct factors: Positive (SoPA, five items) Negative (SoNA, items). results favored solution supported by satisfying fit indices, loadings, stability. revised scale demonstrated strong internal consistency, with McDonald’s omega values 0.79 (SoNA) 0.87 (SoPA). extends literature providing evidence convergent divergent significant correlations expected directions constructs such as sense self, hopelessness, impulsiveness, psychosis-like experiences, schizotypal traits. These findings support reliable valid measure assessing highlight its broader applicability understanding psychopathological constructs.
