The instruments included the "Time Perspective Scale", "Life Satisfaction Scale" and "Career Adaptability Scale". The results indicated: (1)…

Simulation studies are needed to investigate how many score categories are sufficient to treat ordered categorical data as continuous, particularly for bifactor models. The current simulation study aims to address such needs by investigating the performance of estimation methods in the bifactor models with ordered categorical data. Results support…

The influence of andragogical principles on employee motivation to transfer training was examined in this study. The research problem is whether the principles of andragogy (Need to Know, Self-Concept, Experience, Readiness to Learn, Orientation to Learning, and Motivation to Learn) predict motivation to transfer training among individuals who…

Many applications of structural equation modeling involve ordinal (e.g., Likert) variables. A popular way of dealing with ordinal variables is to estimate the model with polychoric correlations rather than Pearson correlations. Such an estimation also requires the asymptotic covariance matrix of polychoric correlations. It is computationally…

Our study determined the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on teachers' attitudes, concerns and sentiments about inclusive education while controlling for teachers' professional-related factors. This is predicated on the increasing influence of EI on teacher effectiveness. The sample size consisted of 508 regular classroom teachers. Using…

Scholarship on multimethod case selection in the social sciences has developed rapidly in recent years, but many possibilities remain unexplored. This essay introduces an attractive and advantageous new alternative, involving the selection of extreme cases on the treatment variable, net of the statistical influence of the set of known control…

State University Systems look to increase success as part of accountability to stakeholders, while at the same time competing for a decreasing college age population and declining annual state appropriations.
