Collie, Rebecca J.; Holliman, Andrew J.; Martin, Andrew J. – Educational Psychology, 2017
University entry is a time of great change for students. The extent to which students are able to effectively navigate such change likely has an impact on their success in university. In the current study, we examined this by way of adaptability, the extent to which students' adaptability is associated with their behavioural engagement at…

Finn, Amber N.; Schrodt, Paul – Communication Education, 2016
Two studies were conducted to develop a low-inference, behavioral measure of teacher discussion facilitation in the college classroom. In Study 1 (N = 360), a pilot inventory was developed from extant research. In Study 2 (N = 360), confirmatory factor analyses supported the dimensional structure of the pilot inventory and yielded a new, Teacher…

Bryant, Fred B.; Satorra, Albert – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
We highlight critical conceptual and statistical issues and how to resolve them in conducting Satorra-Bentler (SB) scaled difference chi-square tests. Concerning the original (Satorra & Bentler, 2001) and new (Satorra & Bentler, 2010) scaled difference tests, a fundamental difference exists in how to compute properly a model's scaling correction…

Payandeh Najafabadi, Amir T.; Najafabadi, Maryam Omidi; Farid-Rohani, Mohammad Reza – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
In Iran, high school graduates enter university after taking a very difficult entrance exam called the Konkoor. Therefore, only the top-performing students are admitted by universities to continue their bachelor's education in statistics. Surprisingly, statistically, most of such students fall into the following categories: (1) do not succeed in…
