Schools conduct comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to identify students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) and determine whether they qualify for special education services. This decision-making process is complex and research has documented many factors influencing SLD identification decisions. One such factor may be…

Philanthropy is love of humanity and a sincere action without anticipating anything in return for oneself and the community. In contrast, misanthropy is defined as not loving and hating people.

This study reports on the quantitative findings of an exploratory sequential mixed methods study in which the underlying factor structure of students' peer-feedback orientation (i.e. openness to provide and receive peer-feedback) was investigated. Building on the qualitative findings of a previous study in which the 'peer-feedback orientation'…

This study aims to develop a scale to determine preservice science teachers' perceptions of flipped learning. The present study uses the survey design, a quantitative research method. For content validity, the authors created an item pool of 144 items based on the literature. After being checked by experts, the item pool dropped to 49 items for…

In the current study, the factor structure of an attitude scale was analyzed by using the two different item response theory models that allow modeling nonmonotonic item response curves. The current study utilized the two models to examine whether the two-factor solution of factor analysis may be caused by method effect, or by the failure of the…

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that will serve to determine the level of higher education students' tendency to be open to learning. The sample of the research consists of 523 higher education students. As a result of the literature review and analysis, the dimensions predicted as sub-dimensions in the scale are…

The Stranger Face Trust scale (SFT) and Imaginary Stranger Trust scale (IST) are two new self-report measures of generalized trust that assess trust in strangers--both real and imaginary--across four trust domains.
