Jingwen Wang; Xiaohong Yang; Dujuan Liu – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2024
The large scale expansion of online courses has led to the crisis of course quality issues. In this study, we first established an evaluation index system for online courses using factor analysis, encompassing three key constructs: course resource construction, course implementation, and teaching effectiveness. Subsequently, we employed factor…

André Beauducel; Norbert Hilger; Tobias Kuhl – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Regression factor score predictors have the maximum factor score determinacy, that is, the maximum correlation with the corresponding factor, but they do not have the same inter-correlations as the factors. As it might be useful to compute factor score predictors that have the same inter-correlations as the factors, correlation-preserving factor…

Ehri Ryu – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background/Context: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model is a commonly adopted framework to estimate and test a measurement model. Once a well-fitting final CFA model is selected, the selected model may be used to test structural relationships of the latent constructs with other variables, to construct a test with desired reliability and…

Cátia Marques; Íris M. Oliveira; Jaisso Vautero; Ana Daniela Silva – International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, 2024
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale in a Lebanese sample. The study includes 236 Lebanese citizens (54.2% women; M[subscript age] = 30.14). Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a hierarchical model yielded a good fit, with the CAAS measuring four distinct dimensions that can be combined in a…

Ferrando, Pere J.; Lorenzo-Seva, Urbano – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Unit-weight sum scores (UWSSs) are routinely used as estimates of factor scores on the basis of solutions obtained with the nonlinear exploratory factor analysis (EFA) model for ordered-categorical responses. Theoretically, this practice results in a loss of information and accuracy, and is expected to lead to biased estimates. However, the…

Strauss, Christian L. L. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In many psychological and educational applications, it is imperative to obtain valid and reliable score estimates of multilevel processes. For example, in order to assess the quality and characteristics of high impact learning processes, one must compute accurate scores representative of student- and classroom-level constructs. Currently, there…

Iqbal, Farhan; Iqbal, Farah; Humayun, Ghazal Khawaja – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Despite several theoretical, structural, and statistical issues reported against Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), most studies in the educational sector of Pakistan use it without analyzing its factor structure. Since culture might change the structure, this first systematic study filled the gap and explored the factor structure of…

Çevik, Özlem – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2022
In the study conducted for psychometric analysis of kindness scales, teachers working in the central districts of Van, Ipekyolu, Tusba and Edremit constituted the universe of the study. The study group of the research consisted of 395 teachers, who were chosen by random sampling method from the universe of this study and who participated in the…

Acar, Selcuk – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Fluency confound (FC) has been a widely studied issue in divergent thinking (DT) tasks. In this study, the impact of DT task structure on FC was examined by focusing on activity level data from Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT)-Figural. The TTCT-Figural involves two different task structures. Prompts in Activities 1 and 2 are designed for…

Pere J. Ferrando; David Navarro-González; Fabia Morales-Vives – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2025
The problem of local item dependencies (LIDs) is very common in personality and attitude measures, particularly in those that measure narrow-bandwidth dimensions. At the structural level, these dependencies can be modeled by using extended factor analytic (FA) solutions that include correlated residuals. However, the effects that LIDs have on the…

Beauducel, André; Hilger, Norbert – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
In the context of Bayesian factor analysis, it is possible to compute plausible values, which might be used as covariates or predictors or to provide individual scores for the Bayesian latent variables. Previous simulation studies ascertained the validity of mean plausible values by the mean squared difference of the mean plausible values and the…

Naval Garg; Nidhi Sharma; Jason Palframan – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2025
This research aimed to investigate psychometric properties of the Existential Gratitude Scale (EGS) in India. Study 1 examined the factorial validity of EGS using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, which suggested a two-factor structure. Study 2 examined reliability and validity of the scale derived after CFA (referred to as Indian…

Yeon Ha Kim – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2025
This study aimed to introduce an ego-resiliency questionnaire for preadolescents (the ER-P) by restructuring the ER89 using the data of 1398 preadolescents from the Panel Study on Korean Children. The ER-P was proposed as a 10-item second-order instrument with two factors (Optimal Regulation and Openness to Life Experiences). The ER-P achieved…

Ferrando, Pere Joan; Lorenzo-Seva, Urbano – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019
Many psychometric measures yield data that are compatible with (a) an essentially unidimensional factor analysis solution and (b) a correlated-factor solution. Deciding which of these structures is the most appropriate and useful is of considerable importance, and various procedures have been proposed to help in this decision. The only fully…

Jiang, Yifan; Wang, Qiong; Weng, Qingxiong – Journal of Career Development, 2021
Drawing on trait activation theory, the present study answered the question about who achieves better career development in innovative organizations in the Chinese context. We examined the relationships of Big Five personality traits on organizational career growth while considering the cross-level moderating effects of innovation climate and…
