Reliability of Google Scholar (GS), Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS) is examined using publications and citations of 186 scholars in 14 U.S. advertising and public relations (ADPR) programs. Career duration is controlled, and an integrated impact (II) index is proposed as a practical solution. Results suggest there are trade-offs between the…

The aim of this research is to develop a valid and reliable "Astronomy Literacy Scale" in order to determine the astronomy literacy levels of individuals. Quantitative research method was used in the study. The study group of the research consisted of 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students consists of a total of 519 students studying in 3…

Digitally fluent teachers are expected to contribute to the growth of digitally fluent students. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable Digital Fluency Scale to determine the digital fluency of pre-service teachers. To create an item pool to develop a scale for digital fluency, the opinions of the focus group meeting…

Background/purpose: Few psychometric tests have been identified in the literature that analyze digital competencies in school-aged children. The Evaluation Test of Digital Competencies in Compulsory Education Students (ECODIES, Casillas-Martín et al., 2020) is considered one of the most robust for its measurement. The aim of the study was to…

The present study aimed to culturally adapt the Stirling Children's Well-being Scale (SCWBS) for use in Indonesia with college student and to assess their psychometric properties in this population. This study investigated the dimensions, particularly the nature and number, of the Indonesian version of the SCWBS. Three hundred seventy-five…

Stress among teachers is a debilitating issue that has been plaguing the educational landscape in Malaysia for a long time. Past studies have investigated this issue, and most studies focused on identifying the causes of stress among teachers. However, recent studies have looked at stress as a process that involves a threat (stressors), an…

Resilience comprises various neurobiological, developmental, and psychosocial components. However, existing measures lack certain critical components, while having limited utility in low-to-middle-income settings. We aimed to develop a reliable and valid measure of resilience encompassing a broad range of components and that can be used across…

This study aimed to assess intra- and inter-visit reliability of a novel EasyForce dynamometer for assessment of maximal strength in knee extension and flexion, and hip abduction and adduction tasks. Young healthy participants (n = 50; 25 males, 25 females; age: 23.4 ± 2.1 years) were measured for maximal joint torque with EasyForce dynamometer…

Throughout the history of higher education in the United States, parents and family members of college students have often found themselves as obsolete to the postsecondary experience. Minimal research has been dedicated to understanding the experience of parents and family members of college students until the millennial generation began their…

Reliability indicates the internal consistency of a test. In educational studies, reliability is a key feature for a test. Researchers have proposed many traditional reliability estimates, such as coefficient alpha and coefficient omega. However, traditional reliability indices do not deal with the data hierarchy, even though the multilevel…

Fitting wrongly specified models to observed data may lead to invalid inferences about the model parameters of interest. The current study investigated the performance of the posterior predictive model checking (PPMC) approach in detecting model-data misfit of the hierarchical rater model (HRM). The HRM is a rater-mediated model that incorporates…

Purpose: Given that the current sustainability assessment in higher education institutions primarily relies on qualitative methods with relatively limited quantitative tools, the purpose of this study is to design a tool that could be used to comprehensively assess the overall state of higher education institutions' sustainability.…

Research suggests that psychological factors are related to persistence in science, especially for underrepresented students; however, most psychological instruments have been validated through studies conducted at predominately White institutions. In the current study, we report reliability estimates for measures of science identity, science…

Research Findings: A growing number of stakeholders in early childhood education (ECE) rely on self-assessment to assess and improve the quality of ECE. In this systematic review, we investigated the reliability and validity of self-assessment in ECE, summarizing findings from 27 publications. We meta-analytically synthesized findings from 25…

The mental health of college students in the United States has been a longstanding national concern, which has only been exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
