Li, Li; Titsworth, Scott – American Journal of Distance Education, 2015
The current program of research included two studies that developed the Student Online Misbehaviors (SOMs) scale and explored relationships between the SOMs and various classroom communication processes and outcomes. The first study inductively developed initial SOM typologies and tested factor structure via an exploratory factor analysis.…

Usart, Mireia; Romero, Margarida – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2014
Introduction: The study of "Time Orientation" (TO) has been focused on how to measure this construct and its effects on human behavior. Defined as a fundamental psychological variable, TO is multidimensional, sensible to cultural differences and age. Although its relation to learning, it deserves further study in the different Higher…

Cai, Yuyang – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2014
This study compares two approaches to grammatical knowledge in language assessment: the structural view that regards grammatical knowledge as vocabulary and syntax (Bachman 1990), and the communicative view that perceives it as the binary combination of grammatical form and meaning (Purpura 2004). 1,491 second-year nursing students from eight…

Kim, Seong-Hyeon; Beretvas, S. Natasha; Sherry, Alissa R. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2010
This study investigated the Outcome Questionnaire's (OQ-45) factor structure and demonstrated the use of factor mixture modeling (FMM) for the purpose of score validation. OQ-45 scores did not fit the one-class, one- and three-factor models. Use of FMM to identify a two-class model is detailed. Implications for OQ-45 users are provided. (Contains…

Broman-Fulks, Joshua J.; Green, Bradley A.; Berman, Mitchell E.; Olatunji, Bunmi O.; Arnau, Randolph C.; Deacon, Brett J.; Sawchuk, Craig N. – Assessment, 2008
Anxiety sensitivity has been implicated as a risk factor for the development and maintenance of panic and other anxiety disorders. Although researchers have generally assumed that anxiety sensitivity is a dimensional, rather than categorical, variable, recent taxometric research has raised questions concerning the accuracy of this assumption. The…
