Mansolf, Maxwell; Vreeker, Annabel; Reise, Steven P.; Freimer, Nelson B.; Glahn, David C.; Gur, Raquel E.; Moore, Tyler M.; Pato, Carlos N.; Pato, Michele T.; Palotie, Aarno; Holm, Minna; Suvisaari, Jaana; Partonen, Timo; Kieseppä, Tuula; Paunio, Tiina; Boks, Marco; Kahn, René; Ophoff, Roel A.; Bearden, Carrie E.; Loohuis, Loes Olde; Teshiba, Terri; deGeorge, Daniella; Bilder, Robert M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
Large-scale studies spanning diverse project sites, populations, languages, and measurements are increasingly important to relate psychological to biological variables. National and international consortia already are collecting and executing mega-analyses on aggregated data from individuals, with different measures on each person. In this…

Factor Structure Analysis of the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Scale on International Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ng, Kok-Mun; Wang, Chuang; Kim, Do-Hong; Bodenhorn, Nancy – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2010
The authors investigated the factor structure of the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence (SSREI) scale on international students. Via confirmatory factor analysis, the authors tested the fit of the models reported by Schutte et al. and five other studies to data from 640 international students in the United States. Results show that…

Homework Purpose Scale for High School Students: A Validation Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Xu, Jianzhong – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2010
The purpose of this study is to test the validity of scores on the Homework Purpose Scale using 681 rural and 306 urban high school students. First, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the rural sample. The results reveal that the Homework Purpose Scale comprises three separate yet related factors, including Learning-Oriented Reasons,…

Evaluating the Validity of Educational Rating Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Harwell, Michael – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1999
Suggests two complementary frameworks for providing validity evidence for rating data. One conceptualizes raters as data collection instruments that should be subject to traditional procedures for establishing validity evidence; the other evaluates studies using raters from an experimental design perspective allowing the assessment of the study's…

Two Computer Programs for the Statistical Evaluation of a Weighted Linear Composite.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sands, William A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
Two computer programs (one batch, one interactive) are designed to provide statistics for a weighted linear combination of several component variables. Both programs provide mean, variance, standard deviation, and a validity coefficient. (Author/JKS)

Highest Column Entry Hierarchical Clustering: A Redevelopment and Elaboration of Elementary Linkage Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McQuitty, Louis L.; Koch, Valerie L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
A relatively reliable and valid hierarchy of clusters of objects is plotted from the highest column entries, exclusively, of a matrix of interassociations between the objects. Having developed out of a loose definition of types, the method isolates both loose and highly definitive types, and all those in between. (Author/RC)

Relaxing the Assumptions Underlying Corrections for Restriction of Range.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gross, Alan L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
It is generally believed that the correction formula will yield exact correlational values only when the regression of z on x is both linear and homoscedastic. The formula is shown to hold for nonlinear heteroscedastic relationships. A simple sufficient condition for formula validity and estimation predictions is demonstrated in a numerical…

Choice of Software and Programs in Meta-Analysis Research: Does It Make a Difference?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arthur, Winfred, Jr.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
Effects of choice of data analysis program on outcomes of meta-analysis were studied by considering the extent to which four commonly used Schmidt and Hunter validity generalization-based meta-analytic software programs produce identical outcomes. Differences were minor and did not influence outcomes. (SLD)

On the Application of a Probability Index, PM, in Discriminating between Psychiatric Groups.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Meyer, Lennart – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
The PM statistical index, which indicates the probability that a person will belong to a particular clinical class, is described. The coefficient is similar to the G index but is easier to compute. An empirical example is presented. (JKS)

Correlations among Certain Variables and the Quality of the Written Expression of Third Grade Children under Structured and Nonstructured Teaching Situations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Woodfin, Mary Jo – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1972
Initial standing in language, reading, intelligence, socioeconomic status, and sex differences did not predict writing ability of third grade children any more accurately for structured than for nonstructured teaching methods, although children who did not spell or read as well as others were able to produce more volume in their writing when…

The Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire: A New Instrument for Multicultural Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Munroe, Arnold; Pearson, Carolyn – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Institutions of higher education want to diversify their learning climates, and many offer courses in multiculturalism, yet these courses still do not meet the needs of attitudinal change. A new instrument was developed, the Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire (MASQUE), that was theoretically based in Banks's transformative approach,…
