Kam, Chester Chun Seng – Sociological Methods & Research, 2018
The item wording (or keying) effect is respondents' differential response style to positively and negatively worded items. Despite decades of research, the nature of the effect is still unclear. This article proposes a potential reason; namely, that the item wording effect is scale-specific, and thus findings are applicable only to a particular…

Pekrun, Reinhard; Hall, Nathan C.; Goetz, Thomas; Perry, Raymond P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
A theoretical model linking boredom and academic achievement is proposed. Based on Pekrun's (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions, the model posits that boredom and achievement reciprocally influence each other over time. Data from a longitudinal study with college students (N = 424) were used to examine the hypothesized effects. The…
