The Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (CNB) is a collection of tests validated using neuroimaging, genetics, and other criteria. An updated version of the CNB was constructed in which all tests were converted to either computerized adaptive (CAT) or abbreviated forms. In a mixed community/clinical sample (N = 307; mean age = 25.9 years;…

We developed and provided initial validation for a 15-item scale for use with academics. In Phase 1, we utilized a review of the literature, focus groups, and expert feedback to generate 36 items. In Phase 2, we conducted item and exploratory factor analyses to reduce the number of items and assess the factor structure (N = 212; 51.4% female; mean…

Background: Racism is a public health crisis impacting the health and wellbeing of adolescents. Finding valid tools to measure race-based discrimination, a form of racism, is necessary to accurately assess the effectiveness of programs aimed to reduce those experiences. Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate measurement invariance of a…

Factor analysis of ordered categorical indicators in kinesiology is pervasive. However, some assumptions made regarding the indicators within methods commonly used in this research may increase analytic errors. Methods that relax these assumptions have been available for decades, but uptake has been slow. Therefore, the methodological focus of…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the time traps teachers fall into during the teaching-learning process. The sample consists of 234 final-year students continuing their education at the Faculty of Education in the first implementation and 233 pedagogical formation students in the second implementation.…

The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a popular and widely used measurement tool in cross-cultural research, evaluates life satisfaction. Even though numerous studies have demonstrated factorial validity across a range of samples and cultures, the topic of factorial invariance across various subgroups is still up for debate. There are…

We examined dimensionality and temporal stability of the Interpersonal Stress Scale-Counselor (ISS-C) scores in a sample of professional counselors (n = 518). Confirmatory factor analyses provided support for a four-factor model previously identified through exploratory factor analysis and a bifactor model. Using a randomized test-retest, temporal…

This study investigated whether exercise and physical activity identity are conceptually distinct factors. Undergraduate students (N = 647; M[subscript age] = 19.54 ± 1.86 years; 61% female) completed an online survey including the Exercise Identity Scale and a modified physical activity version. Confirmatory factor analysis largely supported a…

The Theory of Mind Inventory-2 (ToMI-2) is a promising measure for assessing theory of mind (ToM) and social-related functions. However, limited evidence on its factorial validity hampers score interpretation. To examine the factorial validity, confirmatory factor analysis for two currently-available structures was performed in 420 typically…

Evaluation scholars have committed decades of work to the development of evaluator competencies. The 2018 American Evaluation Association (AEA) Evaluator Competencies may be useful for evaluators to identify their strengths and weaknesses to improve their practice; however, a few empirically validated self-assessment tools based on the…

Disengagement is considered a significant component that affects the success, participation, and activity of the students in the online course. Reviewing the literature revealed the lack of a measurement tool for assessing students' disengagement in online courses. This study aimed to develop a scale that examines student disengagement in online…

Purpose: This study aims to develop and validate a scale to measure Teacher Entrepreneurial Behavior (TEB), which encapsulates the behaviors teachers employ to identify and amplify innovation in schools. TEB are catalysts for innovation, navigating their peers through risks and building trust, which empowers the collective to transcend structural…

Bullying is a form of school violence that has recently received the attention of school psychologists. One of these problems that exists in almost all schools is the phenomenon of school bullying. The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric reliability and validity of the Participant Role Scale in bullying in Persian and compare the…

Fresh PhD recipients are experiencing restricted career opportunities yet the enrolment of PhD Scholars is increasing rapidly. Perhaps, doctoral students lack conscious educational decision-making. Building on such a perspective of doctoral students' unconscious educational choices, we explored their educational choices throughout their life…

The consistency of psychometric properties across waves of data collection provides valuable evidence that scores can be interpreted consistently. Evidence supporting the consistency of psychometric properties can come from using a longitudinal extension of item factor analysis to account for the lack of independence of observation when evaluating…
