Pruett, Steven R.; Lee, Eun-Jeong; Chan, Fong; Wang, Ming Hung; Lane, Frank J. – Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, 2008
The purpose of this study was to examine the dimensionality of the "Contact With Disabled Persons Scale" (CDP). An exploratory factor analysis of the CDP yielded three factors: General Interpersonal Contacts, Positive Contact Experiences, and Negative Contact Experiences. A confirmatory factor analysis provided further evidence for the stability…

Metheny, Jennifer; McWhirter, Ellen Hawley; O'Neil, Maya Elin – Journal of Career Assessment, 2008
This article examines available measures of perceived teacher support and presents findings from two studies exploring the psychometric properties of the Teacher Support Scale (TSS). In Study 1, an exploratory factor analysis suggested a hierarchical structure with four first-order factors (Invested, Positive Regard, Expectations, and Accessible…

A Psychometric Investigation of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale Using Rasch Measurement
Seol, Hyunsoo – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2007
The author used Rasch measurement to examine the reliability and validity of 382 Korean university students' scores on the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSDS; D. P. Crowne and D. Marlowe, 1960). Results revealed that item-fit statistics and principal component analysis with standardized residuals provide evidence of MCSDS'…

Schechter, Chen – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2008
Purpose: In light of the excessively broad conceptions and nonobservable terms generally characterizing discussions of organizational learning, this study explores the notion of organizational learning in schools through the conceptual framework of organizational learning mechanisms (OLM) and develops a measure of OLM at the elementary school…

Martin, Andrew J. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2007
Background: This study seeks to examine a multidimensional model of student motivation and engagement using within- and between-network construct validation approaches. Aims: The study tests the first- and higher-order factor structure of the motivation and engagement wheel and its corresponding measurement tool, the Motivation and Engagement…

Lee, Mickey, M.; Lee, Lynda Newby – 1984
The purpose of this study was to replicate the study conducted by Potter, Sagraves, and McDonald to determine whether their recommended analysis could separate criterion variables into similar factors that were stable from year to year and from school to school. The replication samples consisted of all students attending Louisiana State University…

Mathias, Jane L.; Nettelbeck, Ted – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1992
Two studies assessed the construct validity of Greenspan's models of adaptive and social intelligence with 75 adolescents with mental retardation. Factor analysis measures of conceptual intelligence, adaptive behavior, and social intelligence yielded a practice-interpersonal competence construct. The second study, however, failed to establish the…

Hanna, Gila – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1984
The validity of a comparison of mean test scores for two groups and of a longitudinal comparison of means within each group is assessed. Using LISREL, factor analyses are used to test the hypotheses of similar factor patterns, equal units of measurement, and equal measurement accuracy between groups and across time. (Author/DWH)

Johnson, William L.; Nussbaum, Claire – 1984
This document investigates the widely used school climate assessment instrument, the CFK Ltd. School Climate Profile. Part A (General School Climate Factors) was administered by school to a junior high campus (n=257) and a high school campus (n=906) in a major metropolitan area in the Southwestern United States to gather data for administrative…

Greenspan, Stephen; McGrew, Kevin S. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1996
This paper responds to a 1992 study in which it was argued that the structure of intelligence in adults with severe mental retardation deviates from Greenspan's model, in which social and practical intelligence form separate factors. Application of confirmatory factor analysis to the original correlation matrix found the Greenspan model to be…

Mathias, J. L.; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1996
This paper discusses inconsistencies in Greenspan and McGrew's argument that confirmatory, rather than exploratory, factor analysis should be utilized in testing Greenspan's model of adaptive intelligence in adults with severe mental retardation. It is argued that problems with the data set should be addressed through further research rather than…

Bauch, Patricia A.; Small, Thomas W. – 1990
This report contains accounts of the scale construction, reliability, and validity of an instrument used to collect parent survey data in a study of Catholic inner-city high schools. The survey was designed to ascertain parents' involvement in their children's schooling based on parental knowledge, reasons for school choice, expectations and…

Clarke, Rufus M. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1986
A modified version of the Approaches to Studying Inventory was administered to students in an innovative medical school. It was found that, although the inventory was not predictive of academic success for this group, it might be helpful in student counseling, and student responses were consistent with the school's philosophy.

Yore, Larry D.; Craig, Madge T. – 1992
Much has been written about the value of metacognition. However, little research has identified subsumed intellectual factors, logical operators, and cognitive functions; or has established clear relationships between metacognition and science cognition. This paper presents a study to build a strategic metacognitive model of an efficient,…
