Bandalos, Deborah; Benson, Jeri – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1990
The Computer Anxiety Scale was tested for invariance over the grouping conditions of males/females and graduate/undergraduate status. Subjects included 187 undergraduates and 188 graduates; analyses were conducted on 136 males and 236 females. Results indicate that the construct of computer anxiety appears to be multidimensional with highly…

Multidimensional Students' Evaluations of Teaching Effectiveness: A Test of Alternative Higher-Order Structures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, Herbert W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Empirical support was derived for the multidimensionality of students' evaluations of teaching effectiveness on the Students' Evaluations of Educational Quality (SEEQ) through investigation of the factor structure of the SEEQ from 2 samples of 500 classes. Applications of confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical factor analysis are…

Multidimensional Students' Evaluations of Teaching Effectiveness--Generalizability of "N = 1" Research: Comment on Marsh (1991).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abrami, Philip C.; d'Apollonia, Sylvia – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Limitations of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted by H. W. Marsh to demonstrate the multidimensionality of a rating form to assess student evaluation of teaching effectiveness are discussed. A secondary analysis suggests that dimensionality is not stable across solutions and a global factor can be retrieved. (SLD)
