Francis, Sarah E.; Noël, Valerie A.; Ryan, Stephanie L. – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2019
Background: Child anxiety sensitivity (AS) is measured almost exclusively using the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI). Yet, in the context of significant discrepancies regarding the CASI factors and how they are scored and reported, it remains unclear whether the CASI reliably and validly assesses the purported multifactorial AS…

The article presents an analysis of the factorial structure and measurement invariance of the Innovative Behavior Questionnaire, developed by Scott and Bruce. Although the instrument is widely used to capture individuals' innovative behavior, very little evidence concerning its psychometric properties is available. A time-lagged study among 382…

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ; Lefly & Pennington, 2000) is a widely used measure of self-reported reading difficulties. We explored the factor structure underlying this questionnaire using both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A six-factor solution emerged, with childhood reading ability, current reading attitude,…

Park, SeYun; Jang, JungYun; Reifsteck, Erin; Gill, Diane L. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
In this study, we examined the factor structure and reliability of the Korean Quality of Life (KQoL) survey and compared the KQoL survey to both the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). We also assessed associations between KQoL scores and physical activity (PA)…

Rice, Kenneth G.; Srisarajivakul, Emily N.; Meyers, Joel; Varjas, Kris – School Psychology, 2019
One evaluation measure available through the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework is the Effective Behavior Support Self-Assessment Survey (SAS). Evaluations of the SAS have supported its factor structure. However, the SAS is designed to be completed by school personnel who are nested within other levels of analysis (e.g.,…

Mameli, Consuelo; Passini, Stefano – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
The elusive character of student agency makes it a relevant construct to be investigated and measured. An initial effort in this direction was represented by the Agentic Engagement Scale, a five-item instrument designed to assess the degree to which students constructively contribute to the flow of the instructions they receive from the teacher.…

Waschl, Nicolette; Xie, Huichao; Chen, Mo; Poon, Kenneth K. – Infants and Young Children, 2019
Family quality of life (FQoL) constitutes an important aspect of early intervention. However, the culture bound nature of this construct necessitates validation of FQoL measures when being used in a culture different from the one in which they were developed. This study sought to understand the psychometric properties and construct validity of the…

Horsley, Sarah; Green, Gary T. – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2019
We developed a survey to measure education program participants' perceptions of snakes. This survey was created from new and existing items, pilot tested, and edited to final items representing attitude and behavior dimensions. We implemented the final survey as pre- and posttest among participants of snake education programs in Athens, Georgia…

Denovan, Andrew; Dagnall, Neil; Dhingra, Katie; Grogan, Sarah – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
University life can be stressful, and accurate measurement of perceived stress is important for research and practice. However, despite widespread use, disagreement persists regarding the latent structure of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which poses serious consequences for how the measure should be administered. Furthermore, factorial…

Gökcan, Mustafa; Aktan, Derya Çobanoglu – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2019
An absence of a scale for measuring exposure to the English language, which has a significant effect on English achievement, was detected in the literature. For this reason, in this study, a six-dimensional scale was developed to detect the level of English language exposure and its construct validity was tested. The factor structure of the scale…

Raborn, Anthony W.; Leite, Walter L.; Marcoulides, Katerina M. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Short forms of psychometric scales have been commonly used in educational and psychological research to reduce the burden of test administration. However, it is challenging to select items for a short form that preserve the validity and reliability of the scores of the original scale. This paper presents and evaluates multiple automated methods…

Zopluoglu, Cengiz; Davenport, Ernest C., Jr. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2017
The dimensionality of a set of items is important for scale development. In practice, tools that make use of eigenvalues are often used to assess dimensionality. Parallel analysis is featured here as it is becoming an increasingly popular method for assessing the number of dimensions, and computational tools have recently been made available which…

Ghosh, Arpita; Niileksela, Christopher R.; Parham, Aishah; Janis, Rebecca A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2021
This study assessed factorial invariance of scores from the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms - 34 (CCAPS-34) across military (n = 2,836) and nonmilitary (n = 2,836) students accessing counseling services between 2014 and 2016. Based on factorial invariance tests, findings suggest the CCAPS-34 measures the same constructs…
