Measuring the coefficient of efficiency for a person: the experience of design­ing a complex sociological indicator of the degree of self­realization for a person

Abstract

A sociological analogue of the coefficient of efficiency is proposed. It is a complex indicator of the degree of self-realization of the personality, including subjective and conditionally objective indices in six main areas (aspects) of life activity: work, (self) education, partnership, parenthood, hobbies and health preservation. The stages of designing the indicator are consistently described, the logic of combining subjective and objective indices into a single measurement construct and the criteria for the quality of the model (reliability and validity) are introduced, possibilities and prospects for studying self-realization processes are discussed.
