Byrne, Barbara M.; van de Vijver, Fons J. R. – International Journal of Testing, 2014
In cross-cultural research, there is a tendency for researchers to draw inferences at the country level based on individual-level data. Such action implicitly and often mistakenly assumes that both the measuring instrument and its underlying construct(s) are operating equivalently across both levels. Based on responses from 5,482 college students…

Byrne, Barbara M.; And Others – 1994
The intent of the present study was to test for the validity and equivalency of a second-order factorial structure of the Beck Depression Inventory for and across three independent samples (n1=661; n2=239; n3=196) of nonclinical Swedish adolescents; the model under study derived from a cross-validated study of Canadian high school adolescents…

Byrne, Barbara M. – Review of Educational Research, 1984
Research focusing on the construct validation of self-concept (SC) within an educational framework is reviewed. Studies are categorized as within-network research and between-network research and further classified by methodological procedures. Although relationships among self-concept facets and academic achievement have been found, an overall SC…

Byrne, Barbara M. – 1992
A study was conducted to: (1) test for the factorial validity of the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) separately for 742 male and 801 female elementary school teachers and 659 male and 721 female secondary school teachers in Central Canada; (2) cross-validate findings across a second independent sample for each teacher group; and (3) test…

Byrne, Barbara M.; Shavelson, Richard J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1986
This study tested the multifaceted, hierarchical structure of self- concept (SC) against alternative models and determined whether academic SC can be discriminated from academic grades. Results supported the multidimensional interpretation of SC and demonstrated that general SC could be interpreted as distinct from but correlated with academic SC.…

Byrne, Barbara M. – 1987
The construct validity of four self-concept (SC) traits (general SC, academic SC, English SC, mathematics SC), as measured by three different scales (Likert, semantic differential, Guttman) for low- (n=252) and high-track (n=588) Canadian high school students, was assessed using both the Campbell-Fiske criteria, and a comparison of hierarchically…

Marsh, Herbert W.; Byrne, Barbara M. – 1987
The internal/external (I/E) frame of reference model describes relations among Verbal self-concept (VSC), Math self-concept (MSC), and corresponding achievement scores (VACH, MACH). In support of the model Marsh (1986) found that: (1) VSC and MSC were nearly uncorrelated; (2) the effect of VACH on VSC, and of MACH on MSC, were positive; but (3)…
