Hansen, Jo-Ida C.; Bubany, Shawn T. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2008
Vocational psychology has generated a number of concepts and assessment instruments considered to reflect ability self-concept (i.e., one's view of one's own abilities) relevant to career development. These concepts and measures often are categorized as either self efficacy beliefs or self-estimated (i.e., self-rated, self-evaluated) abilities.…

Paul, Steven M. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1986
Normative data for the Advanced Raven's Progressive Matrices are presented based on 300 University of California, Berkeley, students. Correlations with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Terman Concept Mastery Test are explored. The relationship between the Advanced Raven's Progressive Matrices and Spearman's g is explored. (Author)

Phillips, Katherine A.; Barrow, Lloyd H. – School Science and Mathematics, 2006
This research study was designed to provide an introductory examination of how high school students' out-of-school science experiences, particularly those relevant to the physical sciences, relate to their learning of Newtonian mechanics. A factor analysis of the modified Science Experiences Survey (SES, Mason & Kahle, 1988) was performed,…

Nandakumar, Ratna – 1992
The performance of the following four methodologies for assessing unidimensionality was examined: (1) DIMTEST; (2) the approach of P. W. Holland and P. R. Rosenbaum; (3) linear factor analysis; and (4) non-linear factor analysis. Each method is examined and compared with other methods using simulated data sets and real data sets. Seven data sets,…

DeMars, Christine E. – Online Submission, 2005
Several methods for estimating item response theory scores for multiple subtests were compared. These methods included two multidimensional item response theory models: a bi-factor model where each subtest was a composite score based on the primary trait measured by the set of tests and a secondary trait measured by the individual subtest, and a…

Pask, Judith M.; Saunders, E. Stewart – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2004
A basic tenet of information literacy programs is that the skills needed to use computers and the skills needed to find and evaluate information are two separate sets of skills. Outside the library this is not always the view. The claim is sometimes made that information skills are acquired by learning computer skills. All that is needed is a…

Smith, Douglas K.; Knudtson, Lenore S. – 1990
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) and the Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition (S-B:FE) were administered in counterbalanced order to a sample of 20 middle-class preschool children (11 males and 9 females) attending the Early Childhood Preschool Center located in a suburban area of a large midwestern city. Subjects' mean age was 4…

Coughlan, Robert J.; Froemel, Ernest C. – 1971
The Purdue Teacher Opinionaire (PTO) and the School Survey (SS) were studied to determine their comparative effectiveness in measuring similar aspects of teacher morale. Elementary and secondary school teachers from a Wisconsin middle-class school district completed both instruments. Analysis of the data revealed six significant canonical…

Stone, Mark – 1990
A factor analysis study was conducted of the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML), a test developed from a test structure model of memory and learning. The battery is composed of nine subtests (three verbal, three visual, and three learning subsets). The sample consisted of 903 students aged 5 years through 8 years 11 months, and…

Noller, Patricia; Shugm, David – Psychological Test Bulletin, 1988
The reliability and validity of the Self-Esteem Inventory developed by S. C. Coopersmith (1975) were evaluated via item-total correlation, discriminant analysis, factor analysis, and analysis of variance of data for 352 Australian adults. The instrument had high internal consistency and discriminated well between subjects with high and low…

Orozco, Sergio; Freidrich, Katherine R. – 1992
The relationship between factors underlying a measure of acculturation, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA), and the 566-item Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was studied. The ARSMA consists of 20 questions that are scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from Mexican oriented (1) to Anglo oriented (5).…

Palmer, Pamla; And Others – 1990
A statistical comparison was made of two test batteries, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB), using a sample of 406 subjects (98 civilian high school students and 308 military recruit examinees). The sample was predominantly white and male. A first analyses described the sample and…

Chan, Jason C. – 1990
The importance of the presentation order of items on Likert-type scales was studied. It was proposed that subjects tend to choose the first alternative acceptable to them from among the response categories, so that a primacy effect can be predicted. The effects of reversing the order of the response scale on the latent factor structure underlying…
