title: Development of a revised generalized health-related self-concept inventory.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To replicate and validate the GHRSC-76, as well as to develop and validate an abbreviated version.
  
  
  METHODS
  An online survey was completed by 276 undergraduate students. Principal components and multiple regression analyses were used to replicate and validate the measure.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Health-protective motivation, vulnerability, and health-risky habits dimensions were predictive of symptom report. A 25-item inventory was created (R-GHRSC) and similar results were found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Three dimensions of GHRSC were related to symptom report in this study but further research is needed to explore the relationship between GHRSC and health behavior.
