Zhoc, Karen C. H.; Li, Johnson C. H.; Webster, Beverley J. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2017
Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) is a popular EI measure. Yet, it has been criticized for an unclear factor structure, and its psychometric properties were mainly examined in the Western context. This study was to evaluate its psychometric properties based on 1,724 Hong Kong undergraduate students, including its (a) factor structure, (b)…

Geldhof, John; Little, Todd D.; Hawley, Patricia H. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2012
In this paper we present domain-specific measures of academic and social self-regulation in young adults. We base our scales on Baltes and colleagues' Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) model, and establish the factor structure of our new measures using data collected from a sample of 152 college students. We then compare the…

Edwards, Julian A.; Van Laar, Darren; Easton, Simon; Kinman, Gail – Quality in Higher Education, 2009
Previous research suggests that higher education employees experience comparatively high levels of job stress. A range of instruments, both generic and job-specific, has been used to measure stressors and strains in this occupational context. The Work-related Quality of Life (WRQoL) scale is a measure designed to capture perceptions of the working…

Steed, Lyndall – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Examined the psychometric properties of the Beck Hopelessness Scale (A. Beck and others, 1974) among 544 university students. Results show satisfactory internal consistency of scores, but factor analysis suggested four factors that were largely uninterpretable. Results of a convergent validity study indicate that there are more appropriate…
