Avsar, Asiye Sengül – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
It is necessary to supply proof regarding the construct validity of the scales. Especially, when new scales are developed the construct validity is researched by the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Generally, factor extraction is performed via the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which is not exactly factor analysis and the Principal Axis…

Affum-Osei, Emmanuel; Goto, Sharon G.; Yeung, June Chun; Wang, Rong; Lam, Hodar; Abdul-Nasiru, Inusah; Chan, Darius K.-S. – Journal of Career Development, 2021
This study validates Shane et al.'s Entrepreneurial Career Motives Scale across nations. A total sample of 948 undergraduate and postgraduate students from five nations (China = 229, Hong Kong = 213, Holland = 136, United States = 155, and Ghana = 215) were recruited to complete a survey designed to measure their entrepreneurial motives and other…

Zhong Jian Chee; Anke M. Scheeren; Marieke de Vries – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Despite several psychometric advantages over the 50-item Autism Spectrum Quotient, an instrument used to measure autistic traits, the abridged AQ-28 and its cross-cultural validity have not been examined as extensively. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the factor structure and measurement invariance of the AQ-28 in 818 Dutch (M[subscript…

Halamová, Júlia; Kanovský, Martin; Petrocchi, Nicola; Moreira, Helena; López, Angélica; Barnett, Michael D.; Yang, Eunjoo; Benda, Jan; Brähler, Elmar; Zeng, Xianglong; Zenger, Markus – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2021
In this study, different factor analysis models were employed to test the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) in 11 distinct populations (n = 15,266) in different countries. The results strongly suggest that the most appropriate use of the SCS is to measure levels of Self-Compassionate responding (positive items) and Self-Uncompassionate responding…

The Video Engagement Scale (VES) is a quality indicator to assess engagement in experimental video-vignette studies, but its measurement properties warrant improvement. Data from previous studies were combined (N = 2676) and split into three subsamples for a stepped analytical approach. We tested construct validity, criterion validity,…

Schmitz, Eva A.; Salemink, Elske; Wiers, Reinout W.; Jansen, Brenda R. J. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) is commonly used to compare groups on math anxiety. Group comparisons should however be preceded by a demonstration of metric and scalar measurement invariance, which is currently only available for undergraduate students in the USA. This study tested for metric and scalar measurement invariance of AMAS…

Kreijns, Karel; Vermeulen, Marjan; Evers, Arnoud; Meijs, Celeste – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2019
In the present study the construct inquiry of mind explored and an instrument to measure it is proposed. Using three different samples, explorative and confirmative factor analyses were performed, resulting in three empirical dimensions that correspond to the three theoretical dimensions: 1) 'value deep understanding,' 2) 'reserve judgment and…

Froehlich, Dominik E.; Beausaert, Simon; Segers, Mien – International Journal of Training and Development, 2017
Social approaches to work-related informal learning, such as proactive feedback-seeking, help-seeking and information-seeking, are important determinants of development in the workplace. Unfortunately, previous research has failed to clearly conceptualize these forms of learning and does not provide a validated and generally applicable measurement…

Zhang, Ran; Zwaal, Wichard; Otting, Hans – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
This study assessed the validity and reliability of the Meyer, Shanahan, and Laugksch's Conceptions of Research Inventory using data collected from 227 undergraduate hotel management students in the Netherlands. The results of a series of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed substantial empirical support for the five-factor…

Grove, Rachel; Hoekstra, Rosa A.; Wierda, Marlies; Begeer, Sander – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Research has highlighted potential differences in the phenotypic and clinical presentation of autism spectrum conditions across sex. Furthermore, the measures utilised to evaluate autism spectrum conditions may be biased towards the male autism phenotype. It is important to determine whether these instruments measure the autism phenotype…

Evers, Arnoud T.; Verboon, Peter; Klaeijsen, Andrea – British Educational Research Journal, 2017
In the current study a multi-dimensional scale that measures teacher autonomous behaviour is presented. The scale is applicable across the following educational sectors: primary education, secondary education and vocational education. Based on an elaborate literature study, four theoretically relevant dimensions of teacher autonomous behaviour…

There is hardly any cross-cultural research on the measurement invariance of the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scales (BMSLSS). The current article evaluates the measurement invariance of the BMSLSS across cultural contexts. This cross-sectional study sampled 7,739 adolescents and emerging adults in 23 countries. A multi-group…

Despite its popularity, the factorial structure of the Psychological Sense of School Membership (PSSM) Questionnaire remains controversial. The current study set out to clarify its structure across different cultural contexts. The study was carried out among 1,928 adolescents aged 11 to 20 years in the Netherlands, Kenya, Indonesia, and Spain.…

Silm, Gerli; Tiitsaar, Kai; Pedaste, Margus; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Papaevripidou, Marios – Science Education International, 2017
The use of inquiry-based learning (IBL) is encouraged in schools, as it has been shown to be an effective method for raising students' motivation in STEM subjects and increasing their understanding of scientific concepts. Nevertheless, IBL is not very often used in classrooms by teachers due to different (perceived) obstacles. Within the Ark of…

van Schaik, Saskia D. M.; Oudgenoeg-Paz, Ora; Atun-Einy, Osnat – Developmental Psychology, 2018
The present study explored cultural differences in parental beliefs about motor development across 2 Western cultures: Israel and the Netherlands. Can 2 cultural models be distinguished regarding infant motor development in Israel and the Netherlands or are parental beliefs about motor development similar across these cultures? Using a…
