Inman, Richard A.; Moreira, Paulo A. S.; Faria, Sara; Araújo, Marta; Cunha, Diana; Pedras, Susana; Correia Lopes, Joana – Environmental Education Research, 2022
Certain behaviors, especially when adopted by a majority, can help limit the magnitude of climate change. In this cross-sectional study, the stages of change from the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) are applied to environmentally-significant behavior. We develop and test a new scale -- the Climate Change Stages of Change Questionnaire (CCSOCQ) -- for…

Nicolas Rochat; Laurent Lima; Pascal Bressoux – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
Inference is considered an important factor in comprehension models and has been described as a causal factor in predicting comprehension. To date, specific tests for inference are rare and often rely on specific thematic texts. This reliance on thematic inference may raise some concerns as inference is related to prior text-specific knowledge.…

Beth Doll; Farya Haider; Jay Jeffries – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
More than a decade after two comprehensive examinations of the technical properties of the ClassMaps Survey (CMS), this study reexamined the structure and internal consistency of the scale and, for the first time, examined its measurement invariance across gender and school levels. Participants were 1,083 elementary and middle level students from…

Factor analytic procedures were used to gather validity evidence on the internal structure of Skinner, Kinderman, and Furrer's Engagement versus "Disaffection with Learning" measure to operationalize students' classroom engagement. Independent samples of middle school students (Sample 1 = 618, Sample 2 = 493) were used to test the…

As many as 1 in 5 youth in the United States experience social, emotional, and behavioral problems. However, many students with mental health concerns are unidentified and do not receive adequate care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factor structure, measurement invariance, and the concurrent and predictive validity of the Early…

Moreira, Paulo; Cunha, Diana; Inman, Richard A. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
Student engagement is typically regarded as being a multidimensional construct, but there remains no clear consensus about its precise conceptualization. Several current measures of student engagement are limited by their omission of relevant dimensions and/or poor correspondence between dimension labels and item content. To address these…

Jéldrez, Elvira; Cain, Kate; Silva, Macarena; Strasser, Katherine – Reading Psychology, 2023
Reading motivation is multidimensional and a critical contributor to students' reading comprehension skill. Its multidimensionality is problematic, as there is currently no consensus on the dimensions underlying reading motivation, which are being tested through a variety of instruments that lack statistical validation. Our goal was to discuss the…
