Objective: This study explored the structure validity and sex and country measurement invariance for Filipino and U.S. adults using the Five Factor Wellness Inventory (FFWEL-A2). Method: Confirmatory factor analysis and measurement invariance were conducted to determine consistency of responses across sex and country categories. Factorial ANOVAs…

The article describes the development and validation of the Career Personality Styles Inventory (CPSI). The CPSI comprehensively assesses Holland's career personality styles with only 22 items. Based on a series of 3 studies, we found satisfactory internal consistency, factor structure, and criterion validities of the newly constructed CPSI.

We propose a general cognitive diagnosis model framework to diagnose mental disorders using item scores obtained from clinical measurement instruments. This framework can be used to validate the extent to which the items measure the specific disorders. The method is illustrated using data obtained with the Dutch version of Millon Clinical…

This study investigated the structure and validity of the Italian translation of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. Data were self-reported from 227 participants. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor structure of the scale. Hierarchical regressions also demonstrated its incremental validity beyond demographics, the…

This study examined the structure, reliability, and validity of the revised Chinese version of the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (N = 933). The results confirmed the four-factor structure of the Chinese version of the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are provided.

The present study was the first to examine the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Behavior Assessment System for Children-2, Self-Report of Personality, College Version (K-BASC-2 SRP-COL), among a Korean national sample. Using 1,000 Korean college students, ages 18 to 25 years, we found support for the reliability (via internal…

The authors examined the validity evidence for a newly translated Chinese version of the Dispositional Hope Scale in three samples. Results indicated that the two-factor structure better fit the data than the one-factor structure. Findings provide evidence of configural validity for the scores but only indicate partial factorial invariance across…

The objective of the present study was to provide validity evidence for the scores from the Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale. Results indicate a two-factor structure, adequate reliability, and overall good convergent, concurrent, discriminant, and incremental validity evidence. The strengths and limitations of this measure are discussed.…

Psychometric properties of the Almost Perfect Scale and the Family Almost Perfect Scale were evaluated using Indian college students studying in India (N = 132). Three classes of perfectionists--adaptive, maladaptive, and nonperfectionists--that mirrored past studies were compared on self-esteem and depression. (Contains 3 tables and 3 figures.)

Psychometric analysis of scores from the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) confirmed their internal and test-retest reliability in an Australian adult sample. The data also provided support for the internal and temporal reliability of scores derived from 13 lower order item clusters identified in the NEO-FFI. (Contains 25 references and 4…
