Melanie Joann Ventura – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In clinical and forensic evaluations, clinical neuropsychologists measure performance validity using standalone and embedded measures. Given the need to capture neuropsychological functioning through a variety of cognitive tests, newer, more sensitive measures should be evaluated for their utility in comparison to already established measures.…

Branscum, Ann M.; Park, Anna E.; Bihm, Elson M.; Murphy, John J.; Furlong, Michael J. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
The Social and Emotional Health Survey-Secondary (SEHS-S) is a widely used self-report measure of adolescents' strengths and positive mental health. However, the SEHS-S does not have a proxy (i.e., parent) informant version. A parent form of the SEHS-S could allow school psychologists to gather additional information about students' strengths for…

Tülin Otbiçer Acar – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
The aim of this study is to compare the results of correlation coefficient estimation of reliability with those obtained through the Bland-Altman plot technique. The scale was first divided into two halves using three different approaches. A linear and high-level relationship was found between the scale scores obtained from the halved forms.…

Kurth, Jordan D.; Klenosky, David B. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) is a globally-used self-report measure of physical activity (PA). Validity evidence exists; none has evaluated the IPAQ-SF with reduced recall time. This study evaluates absolute and relative agreement for PA at all intensities, and relative to recommended guideline…

Lugton, Emily; Brown, Ted; Stagnitti, Karen – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
It is important for assessments used by occupational therapists to have documented evidence of their validity. This adds to the knowledge about what specific factors assessments measure and inform their utility for use in clinical practice by occupational therapists. The convergent validity between the Children's Assessment of Participation and…

Selcuk Acar; Denis Dumas; Peter Organisciak; Kelly Berthiaume – Grantee Submission, 2024
Creativity is highly valued in both education and the workforce, but assessing and developing creativity can be difficult without psychometrically robust and affordable tools. The open-ended nature of creativity assessments has made them difficult to score, expensive, often imprecise, and therefore impractical for school- or district-wide use. To…

Rifenbark, Graham; Lombardi, Allison; Freeman, Jennifer – Educational Assessment, 2021
In this study (n = 5037) we further investigated the construct validity of the Georgia Brief School Climate Inventory (GBS). Despite containing ordinal items (e.g., ordered-responses), the GBS has only been examined using linear approaches. To fill this void, we employed confirmatory item factor analysis (IFA) to examine the factor structure…

The main aim of this study was to assess the criterion validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) to measure SB in community-dwelling older adults using thigh-measured accelerometry as the criterion method. 801 participants (75.6 ± 6.1 years old, 57.6% females) provided valid thigh-based accelerometer data (activPAL/Axivity) and…

McKie, Greg L.; Islam, Hashim; Townsend, Logan K.; Howe, Greg J.; Hazell, Tom J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
This study examined the validity and reliability of a 30-second running sprint test using two non-motorized treadmills compared to the established Wingate Anaerobic Test. Twenty-four participants completed three sessions in a randomized order on a: (1) manual mode treadmill (Woodway); (2) specialized interval training treadmill (HiTrainer); and…

Cho, Yongrae; Choi, Younghee; Kim, Sunyoung; Hong, Sehee – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2018
We examined the factor structure and other psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) in Korean nonclinical (N1 = 457, N2 = 444) and clinical undergraduate samples (N3 = 12). Results support the revised 3-factor structure and applicability of the SPIN as a measure yielding valid and reliable scores of social anxiety to Koreans.

Steedle, Jeffrey – ACT, Inc., 2018
Self-report inventories are commonly administered to measure social and emotional learning competencies related to college readiness. If students respond inattentively or dishonestly, validity will suffer. This study applies several methods of detecting insufficient effort responding (IER) to data from ACT® Engage®. Different methods indicated…

Wüthrich, Sergej; Sahli Lozano, Caroline – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2018
Assessment of attitudes in inclusive education research is almost exclusively based on self-report scales. This may lead to overestimation of positive attitudes due to social desirability bias, and self-reported attitudes may not capture all relevant aspects of attitudes. Recently, Lüke and Grosche (2018a) proposed a new attitude test based on a…

Cleary, Timothy J.; Callan, Gregory L.; Malatesta, Jaime; Adams, Tanya – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
This study examined the convergent and predictive validity of self-regulated learning (SRL) microanalytic measures. Specifically, theoretically based relations among a set of self-reflection processes, self-efficacy, and achievement were examined as was the level of convergence between a microanalytic strategy measure and a SRL self-report…

Nilsen, Trude; Slot, Pauline; Cigler, Hynek; Chen, Minge – OECD Publishing, 2020
Situational Judgement Questions (SJQs) measuring process quality were included in the OECD Starting Strong Teaching and Learning International Survey 2018 (TALIS Starting Strong 2018) to address concerns of self-report bias in large-scale international surveys. These SJQs provide the staff in early childhood education and care with situations…
