Tyler A. Sassenberg; David M. Condon; Alexander P. Christensen; Colin G. DeYoung – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Previous research has investigated the nature of imagination as a construct related to multiple forms of higher-order cognition. Despite the emergence of various conceptualizations of imagination, few attempts have been made to explore the structure of imagination as a trait in the context of existing hierarchically-nested personality dimensions.…

Wright, Paul M.; Richards, Andrew R.; Jacobs, Jennifer M.; Hemphill, Michael A. – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2019
Purpose: Research indicates that physical education can be an effective setting for promoting positive values, attitudes, and behaviors that transfer to other settings. However, there is a lack of instrumentation to assess the cognitive and motivational aspects of the transfer process. Therefore, this study proposed and validated the Transfer of…

Novak, Elena; McDaniel, Kerrie; Daday, Jerry; Soyturk, Ilker – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
e-Textbooks and e-learning technologies have become ubiquitous in college and university courses as faculty seek out ways to provide more engaging, flexible and customizable learning opportunities for students. However, the same technologies that support learning can serve as a source of frustration. Research on frustration with technology is…

Dönmez, Onur; Akbulut, Yavuz; Telli, Esra; Kaptan, Miray; Özdemir, Ibrahim H.; Erdem, Mukaddes – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
In the current study, we aimed to develop a reliable and valid scale to address individual cognitive load types. Existing scale development studies involved limited number of items without adequate convergent, discriminant and criterion validity checks. Through a multistep correlational study, we proposed a three-factor scale with 13 items to…

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…

Jewsbury, Paul A.; Bowden, Stephen C. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2017
Fluency is an important construct in clinical assessment and in cognitive taxonomies. In the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model, Fluency is represented by several narrow factors that form a subset of the long-term memory encoding and retrieval (Glr) broad factor. The CHC broad classification of Fluency was evaluated in five data sets, and the CHC…

Georgiou, Yiannis; Kyza, Eleni A. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
The purpose of the present study was to adapt and validate the Need for Cognition Scale--Short Form (NfC-SF) in the Greek language. A multistep process was followed, including (a) the translation and adaptation of the questionnaire, (b) a reliability analysis of the instrument's items in combination with an exploratory factor analysis with 177…

Watts, Logan L.; Steele, Logan M.; Song, Hairong – Creativity Research Journal, 2017
Prior studies have demonstrated inconsistent findings with regard to the relationship between need for cognition and creativity. In our study, measurement issues were explored as a potential source of these inconsistencies. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to examine the factor structure underlying the 18-item need for cognition…

Gonzalez, Araceli; Rozenman, Michelle; Langley, Audra K.; Kendall, Philip C.; Ginsburg, Golda S.; Compton, Scott; Walkup, John T.; Birmaher, Boris; Albano, Anne Marie; Piacentini, John – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2017
Background: Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health problems in youth, and faulty interpretation bias has been positively linked to anxiety severity, even within anxiety-disordered youth. Quick, reliable assessment of interpretation bias may be useful in identifying youth with certain types of anxiety or assessing changes on…

Bolkan, San – Communication Education, 2017
This study was conducted to create a reliable and valid low- to medium-inference, multidimensional measure of instructor clarity from seminal work across several academic fields. Five hundred and sixty six students responded to an initial pool of 87 items and were split into two samples to investigate the factor structure of the new measurement…

Krumm, Gabriela; Aranguren, María; Arán Filippetti, Vanessa; Lemos, Viviana – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2016
The objective of this study was to compare, through a Confirmatory Factor Analysis, two different theoretical models that explain the operationalized creativity construct with the Verbal Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT), Form B. Model 1 is represented by six factors which correspond to each activity and its respective indicators while…

Feldt, Ronald; Lindley, Kyla; Louison, Rebecca; Roe, Allison; Timm, Megan; Utinkova, Nikola – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2015
The Emotional Regulation Related to Testing Scale (ERT Scale) assesses strategies students use to regulate emotion related to academic testing. It has four dimensions: Cognitive Appraising Processes (CAP), Emotion-Focusing Processes (EFP), Task-Focusing Processes (TFP), and Regaining Task-Focusing Processes (RTFP). The study examined the factor…

Lee, Kerry; Bull, Rebecca; Ho, Ringo M. H. – Child Development, 2013
Although early studies of executive functioning in children supported Miyake et al.'s (2000) three-factor model, more recent findings supported a variety of undifferentiated or two-factor structures. Using a cohort-sequential design, this study examined whether there were age-related differences in the structure of executive functioning among…

Dörrenbächer, Laura; Perels, Franziska – Frontline Learning Research, 2015
Most self-regulated learning theories are imbedded within a social-cognitive framework and comprise cognitive, metacognitive and motivational components. Nevertheless, these theories partly neglect volition, which is necessary for implementing learning intentions. Therefore, the present study is frontline as it aimed to integrate volition within a…
