Philipp Sterner; Kim De Roover; David Goretzko – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2025
When comparing relations and means of latent variables, it is important to establish measurement invariance (MI). Most methods to assess MI are based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Recently, new methods have been developed based on exploratory factor analysis (EFA); most notably, as extensions of multi-group EFA, researchers introduced…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Khaliq, Izma; Scullin, Keeley; Uljarevic, Mirko; Shih, Andy; Karpur, Arun – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
At present, there are no brief, freely-available, informant-report measures that evaluate key challenging behaviors relevant to youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities (DD). This paper describes the development, refinement, and initial psychometric evaluation of a new 18-item measure, the Open-Source…

Demirtas, Zülfü; Çaçan, Hanifi; Uslukaya, Alper – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2023
This work is intended to develop a measuring tool for determining teacher perception of informal relationships. The pool of items created by researchers through a literature review has been presented with expert assessment of the validity of the content, face, and meaning, and a draft scale has been created by making necessary revisions to the…

Erdem, Devrim – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Purpose: This study reports on the development, validation and measurement invariance of the Multicultural Competency Scale (MCS) for pre-service teachers. Research Methods: Data from 640 pre-service teachers were collected for two studies. After data screening procedures 628 responses were left. The data were divided into two sets for exploratory…

Erdem, Devrim – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
The purpose of this study was to develop a scale measuring attitudes toward women's working. In line with this main purpose, two studies were conducted to develop the tool and investigate its psychometric properties in two different samples. The study 1 started with generating item pool, conducting exploratory factor analysis to identify…

Someki, Fumio; Ohnishi, Masafumi; Vejdemo-Johansson, Mikael; Nakamura, Kazuhiko – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
To examine reliability, validity, factor structure, and measurement invariance (i.e., configural, metric, and scalar invariance) of the Japanese Conners' Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Rating Scales (CAARS), Japanese nonclinical adults (N = 786) completed the CAARS Self-Report (CAARS-S). Each participant was also rated by…

Griffith, James W.; Kleim, Birgit; Sumner, Jennifer A.; Ehlers, Anke – Psychological Assessment, 2012
The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT), which is widely used to measure overgeneral autobiographical memory in individuals with depression and a trauma history. Its factor structure and internal consistency have not been explored in a clinical sample. This study examined the…

Schurr, K. Terry; Henriksen, L. W. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
Using three different forms of a 61-item administrator/supervisor questionnaire, the effects of both order and grouping were examined in separate analyses. For low-inference type items, factor structures obtained from survey data appear to be affected by item order, and, to a lesser extent, by grouping items. (Author/PN)
