Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the factorial validity and reliability of scores from the Recovery Experience
Questionnaire (REQ) in a higher education institution. As part of the measure validation, the relationships of the four
recovery dimensions (psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control) to other variables in the nomological
network (work-home interference, home-work interference and ill health) were investigated. Data was collected from 366
participants (females = 65.3%; white = 80.35%). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test competing factorial models.
The results supported a four-factor structure for the REQ. Relationships with other variables in the nomological network
were all theoretically consistent, as expected.
