Francesco Innocenti; Math J. J. M. Candel; Frans E. S. Tan; Gerard J. P. van Breukelen – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Normative studies are needed to obtain norms for comparing individuals with the reference population on relevant clinical or educational measures. Norms can be obtained in an efficient way by regressing the test score on relevant predictors, such as age and sex. When several measures are normed with the same sample, a multivariate regression-based…

Lehmann, Vicky; Hillen, Marij A.; Verdam, Mathilde G. E.; Pieterse, Arwen H.; Labrie, Nanon H. M.; Fruijtier, Agnetha D.; Oreel, Tom H.; Smets, Ellen M. A.; Visser, Leonie N. C. – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
The Video Engagement Scale (VES) is a quality indicator to assess engagement in experimental video-vignette studies, but its measurement properties warrant improvement. Data from previous studies were combined (N = 2676) and split into three subsamples for a stepped analytical approach. We tested construct validity, criterion validity,…

Schmitz, Eva A.; Salemink, Elske; Wiers, Reinout W.; Jansen, Brenda R. J. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) is commonly used to compare groups on math anxiety. Group comparisons should however be preceded by a demonstration of metric and scalar measurement invariance, which is currently only available for undergraduate students in the USA. This study tested for metric and scalar measurement invariance of AMAS…

Hopster-den Otter, Dorien; Muilenburg, Selia N.; Wools, Saskia; Veldkamp, Bernard P.; Eggen, Theo J. H. M. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
This study investigated (1) the extent to which presentations of measurement error in score reports influence teachers' decisions and (2) teachers' preferences in relation to these presentations. Three presentation formats of measurement error (blur, colour value and error bar) were compared to a presentation format that omitted measurement error.…

This study examines measurement invariance of student perceptions of teaching quality collected in five countries: Indonesia (n students = 6,331), the Netherlands (n students = 6,738), South Africa (n students = 3,422), South Korea (n students = 6,997) and Spain (n students = 4,676). The administered questionnaire was the My Teacher Questionnaire…

Jacobson, Joseph L.; Jacobson, Sandra W. – Psychology in the Schools, 2004
In this paper, we respond to the criticisms and concerns raised by D.V. Cicchetti, A.S. Kaufman, & S.S. Sparrow (this issue) in their review of the PCB literature, with particular attention to our own research in Michigan. We agree that multiple comparisons and functional significance are issues that would benefit from more discussion.…
