Investigating the Individual Difference Antecedents of Perceived Enjoyment in Students' Use of Blogging
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Yi-Shun; Lin, Hsin-Hui; Liao, Yi-Wen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
With the proliferation of weblogs (blogs) used in educational contexts, gaining a better understanding of why students are willing to blog has become an important topic for practitioners and academics. The main purpose of this study is to explore the individual difference antecedents of perceived enjoyment and examine how they influence blogging…

The Contributions of Primary and Secondary Memory to Working Memory Capacity: An Individual Differences Analysis of Immediate Free Recall
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Unsworth, Nash; Spillers, Gregory J.; Brewer, Gene A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
The present study tested the dual-component model of working memory capacity (WMC) by examining estimates of primary memory and secondary memory from an immediate free recall task. Participants completed multiple measures of WMC and general intellectual ability as well as multiple trials of an immediate free recall task. It was demonstrated that…

A Process Model of L2 Learners' Motivation: From the Perspectives of General Tendency and Individual Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hiromori, Tomohito – System: An International Journal of Educational Technology and Applied Linguistics, 2009
The purpose of this study is to examine a process model of L2 learners' motivation. To investigate the overall process of motivation, the motivation of 148 university students was analyzed. Data were collected on three variables from the pre-decisional phase of motivation (i.e., value, expectancy, and intention) and four variables from the…

The Components of Working Memory Updating: An Experimental Decomposition and Individual Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ecker, Ullrich K. H.; Lewandowsky, Stephan; Oberauer, Klaus; Chee, Abby E. H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Working memory updating (WMU) has been identified as a cognitive function of prime importance for everyday tasks and has also been found to be a significant predictor of higher mental abilities. Yet, little is known about the constituent processes of WMU. We suggest that operations required in a typical WMU task can be decomposed into 3 major…

Stability of Individual Differences in Multiwave Panel Studies: Comparison of Simplex Models and One-Factor Models.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, Herbert W. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1993
Structural equation models of the same construct collected on different occasions are evaluated in 2 studies involving the evaluation of 157 college instructors over 8 years and data for over 2,200 high school students over 4 years for the Youth in Transition Study. Results challenge overreliance on simplex models. (SLD)

Grosset, Jane M. – 1995
This research tested a structural equation model of educational outcomes for three socioeconomic status (SES) groups of African-American students enrolled in a community college (total sample of 315). The structural model, which was based on a variant of Tinto's (1987) model, contained two exogenous constructs, educational intentions and…
