Bilge Bal-Sezerel; Deniz Arslan; Ugur Sak – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2025
In this study, the factorial invariance of the ASIS (Anadolu-Sak Intelligence Scale) was examined across time. Data were obtained from there groups of first-grade students who were administered the ASIS in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The analyses were conducted using multisample confirmatory factor analyses. Factorial invariance was tested with six…

Timothy R. Konold; Elizabeth A. Sanders – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
Compared to traditional confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) has been shown to result in less structural parameter bias when cross-loadings (CLs) are present. However, when model fit is reasonable for CFA (over ESEM), CFA should be preferred on the basis of parsimony. Using simulations, the current…

Naoto Yamashita – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Matrix decomposition structural equation modeling (MDSEM) is introduced as a novel approach in structural equation modeling, contrasting with traditional structural equation modeling (SEM). MDSEM approximates the data matrix using a model generated by the hypothetical model and addresses limitations faced by conventional SEM procedures by…

Sergio Dominguez-Lara; Mario A. Trógolo; Rodrigo Moreta-Herrera; Diego Vaca-Quintana; Manuel Fernández-Arata; Ana Paredes-Proaño – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
Academic engagement plays a crucial role in students' learning and performance. One of the most popular measures for assessing this construct is the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S), which is based on a tridimensional conceptualization consisting of dedication, vigor, and absorption. However, prior research on its factor…

Sena Dogruyol; Bilge Bakir Aygar; Nezaket Bilge Uzun; Asena Yucedaglar – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2024
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a popular and widely used measurement tool in cross-cultural research, evaluates life satisfaction. Even though numerous studies have demonstrated factorial validity across a range of samples and cultures, the topic of factorial invariance across various subgroups is still up for debate. There are…

Chunhua Cao; Xinya Liang – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Cross-loadings are common in multiple-factor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) but often ignored in measurement invariance testing. This study examined the impact of ignoring cross-loadings on the sensitivity of fit measures (CFI, RMSEA, SRMR, SRMRu, AIC, BIC, SaBIC, LRT) to measurement noninvariance. The manipulated design factors included the…

Philipp Sterner; Kim De Roover; David Goretzko – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2025
When comparing relations and means of latent variables, it is important to establish measurement invariance (MI). Most methods to assess MI are based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Recently, new methods have been developed based on exploratory factor analysis (EFA); most notably, as extensions of multi-group EFA, researchers introduced…

Xijuan Zhang; Hao Wu – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
A full structural equation model (SEM) typically consists of both a measurement model (describing relationships between latent variables and observed scale items) and a structural model (describing relationships among latent variables). However, often researchers are primarily interested in testing hypotheses related to the structural model while…

Aitana González-Ortiz de Zárate; Helena Roig-Ester; Paulina E. Robalino Guerra; Anja Garone; Carla Quesada-Pallarès – International Journal of Training and Development, 2025
Transfer beliefs are understudied in the training transfer field, whereas structural equation modelling (SEM) has been a widely used technique to study transfer models. New methodologies are needed to study training transfer and network analysis (NA) has emerged as a new approach that provides a visual representation of a given network. We…

Khalid ALMamari – International Journal of Testing, 2024
The Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) measures a wide range of personality traits associated with affect and temperament. However, the lengthy administration time may have hindered its widespread use in personality research. The National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) has adapted a short version of the…

Christophe Dierendonck – International Education Studies, 2024
This study is aimed at validating the French version of the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire for Teachers. The instrument was pretested before being administered in a large-scale study with elementary school teachers. Dimensionality of the instrument was examined using the bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) framework.…

Ellen Wilkinson; Cristan Farmer; Evan Kleiman; Vanessa H. Bal – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The commonly used Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS-3) divides adaptive behavior into three domains comprising three subdomains. The validity of this three-factor structure has not been explored in autistic samples, which are often heterogeneous with respect to language and IQ. Furthermore, although there are two comparable forms,…

Emily A. Brown – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Previous research has been limited regarding the measurement of computational thinking, particularly as a learning progression in K-12. This study proposes to apply a multidimensional item response theory (IRT) model to a newly developed measure of computational thinking utilizing both selected response and open-ended polytomous items to establish…

Blaine G. Robbins – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
The Stranger Face Trust scale (SFT) and Imaginary Stranger Trust scale (IST) are two new self-report measures of generalized trust that assess trust in strangers--both real and imaginary--across four trust domains. Prior research has established the reliability and validity of SFT and IST, but a number of measurement validation tests remain.…

Peter Ndiangui; Onder Koklu – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2024
This study focuses on the development of a measurement instrument to identify Middle and High School mathematics and science teachers' beliefs about the main factors of underrepresentation of African American students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. The research method using the stages of instrument development…
