The study examined the psychometric structure of Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG-S) with a sample of 495 college students. It compared the original 21-item version (Gagné, 2003) with the shortened 16-item version (Johnston & Finney, 2010), both with and without method effects. A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA)…

The goal of this study was to examine the factorial structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, criterion validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the Brief Strengths Scale-12 (BSS-12) in Korean population. The Korean sample comprised 288 college students (68.1% were female), ranging in age 19 to 30 years (mean age…

Academic and occupational success requires social intelligence, the ability to comprehend, and manage interpersonal connections. This research aims to assess and improve the Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) for Peruvian university students, focusing on cultural adaptability, reliability, and validity. Participants included 973 university…

Examinations of the internal structure of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) have yielded inconsistent conclusions within and across cultural contexts. This study examined the dimensionality and reliability of the DASS-21 across three theoretically plausible factor structures (i.e., unidimensional, oblique three-factor, and…

The development of any measure on university students' adherence to academically predetermined timetables and scheduled coursework is yet to be determined. To achieve this goal, the present research developed a new scale, Learning Schedule Adherence Scale (LSAS), and examined its factor structure and validity in the higher education context of…

Rasch Analysis suggested the Lakaev Academic Stress Response Scale-1 (LASRS-1) would benefit from refinement by the addition of items and changes to the wording of other items. It was named the LASRS-2 and contained Four Domains (Affective, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Physiological). Rasch Model Analysis tested construct validity and internal…

(2016) developed and later revised (Tondello et al., 2019) "The Gamification User Types Hexad Scale" based on this model. The aim of this study is to adapt this scale into Turkish. The validity and reliability study of the scale was…

The Flourishing Scale is a new scale designed to measure psychological well-being. FS has been translated into more than 10 languages (e.g., Portuguese, Russian, Turki, Spanish, Egyptian, French, Chinses, Japanese, Malay, Urdu, and Persian). The psychometric analysis of the Flourishing Scale has not been explored in the Malaysian context. The aims…

The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) is commonly used to compare groups on math anxiety. Group comparisons should however be preceded by a demonstration of metric and scalar measurement invariance, which is currently only available for undergraduate students in the USA. This study tested for metric and scalar measurement invariance of AMAS…

New measurement of students' learning and teaching concepts is essential for creating constructive alignment in teaching and support formative assessment to promote epistemic development. The Epistemological Development in Teaching Learning Questionnaire (EDTLQ) was developed to meet these needs. In the present study, the factor structure of EDTLQ…

While many studies have examined the structure, validity, and reliability of the Force Concept Inventory, far less research has been performed on other conceptual instruments in widespread use in physics education research. This study performs a confirmatory analysis of the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) guided by a…

The current study, guided by the cross-sectional survey method, assessed interface design quality, and its predictive ability on E-learners' post-adoption behavior in E-learning course environments. DeLone and McLean's Information Systems Success Model, Khan's E-learning Framework, and Bhattacherjee's Information System Continuance Model formed…

This study aims to test the applicability of the functional theory of life values and score differences among a group of students from Lebanon and Portugal.
