For some deaf people, sign language is the preferred language, the one in which they feel most comfortable. However, there are very few assessment tools developed or adapted for sign languages. The aim of this study was to translate and adapt in Italian Sign Language (LIS) the Italian version of the Youth Quality of Life Instrument--Deaf and Hard…

Effective teacher listening is critical in establishing a culturally responsive and equitable learning environment for all students. Teacher listening orientations are ways in which teachers are situated to listen to students.

This study introduces the Questionnaire of AI Use Motives (QAIUM), an instrument designed to measure motivation levels in individuals using artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

The main aim of our study was to adapt the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) to an Estonian context. The QTI was translated and evaluated by three educational researchers and validated with a sample of 508 students from grades 6 and 9 in 13 middle schools. When statistical analyses were utilized to investigate reliability and validity of…

Mailing campaigns are a way to keep longitudinal survey respondents engaged. While mailings usually include a survey answer request, sometimes respondents are contacted between-waves to update contact information or simply to keep respondent contact. Research on the actual impact of these between-wave contacts on response rates is scarce. This…

Globally, countries or regions across from east to west like Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States have incorporated language item questions in their censuses. The assessment of such design advantages and disadvantages is crucial for academic investigation. Despite ongoing discussions, there is a noticeable…

Objective: This study examined whether distinct mindfulness profiles explain physical health complaints common among college students. Participants: Participants were 535 college students. Methods: Participants completed the Five Facet Mindfulness and Physical Health Questionnaires. Latent profile analysis and the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars method…

The National Student Survey (NSS), introduced in 2005, provides an opportunity to comprehensively gather feedback from UK undergraduate students.

Web surveys are popular in social sciences for reaching a large audience at a low cost and in a short period. However, response rates and nonresponse bias are still issues of concern. Using a factorial randomized control trial design, this study explores whether different communication emails affect response rates, representativeness, and response…

As a crucial method in organizational and social behavior research, self-report surveys must manage method bias. Method biases are distorted scores in survey response, distorted variance in variables, and distorted relational estimates between variables caused by method designs. Studies on method bias have focused on "post hoc"…

Background: School Health Profiles assesses school health policies and practices among US secondary schools. Methods: The 2020 School Health Profiles principal and teacher questionnaires were used for a test-retest reliability study. Cohen's kappa coefficients tested the agreement in dichotomous responses to each questionnaire variable at 2 time…

Interoception refers to the processing of internal bodily states and plays a critical role in motivational processes and behaviours. Instruments for assessing its subjective components (i.e., interoceptive sensibility) during childhood are crucially needed. Thus, in this study, we adapted and evaluated the psychometric properties of the…

Previous research extensively studied reasons for and ways to avoid low response rates, but it largely ignored the primary research issue of the degree to which response rates matter, which we address. Methodological survey research on response rates has been concerned with how to increase responsiveness and with the effects of response rates on…
