Peer reviewedKier, Frederick J.; Melancon, Janet G.; Thompson, Bruce – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1998
The reliability and construct validity of scores on the Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire (PPSDQ) (B. Thompson) were studied. Classical psychometric analysis of data from 641 participants (item and alpha analyses and both oblique and orthogonal exploratory factor analyses) indicate that the PPSDQ has reasonable properties. (SLD)

Peer reviewedBenson, Jeri – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1998
Explores how a program of strong construct validation could be applied to the assessment of the construct of test anxiety, paying special attention to substantive, structural, and external aspects of construct validation. A framework is proposed to pull together various statistical methods used in construct validation research into an organized…

Peer reviewedJackson, Stacy L.; And Others – Journal of Career Assessment, 1996
Factor analysis of 1,030 adults' responses on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) were used to test 4 alternative models. Results support a four-factor structure similar to the original Jungian structure. Elimination of 12 MBTI items was recommended. (SK)

Peer reviewedShore, Lynn M.; Tetrick, Lois E.; Shore, Ted H.; Barksdale, Kevin – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2000
Becker's side bet theory (remaining in a job because of perceived costs of leaving) was tested using data from 327 working business students. Three factors were most consistent with the theory: bureaucratic organization, nonwork-related concerns, and adjustment to social position. Attachment to the organization was significantly linked to tangible…

Direct linkWard, A. J. B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
In texts on vector analysis one finds many different methods of proving the vector triple product identity. Most of these rely on complicated geometrical constructions or theorems drawn from vector space theory. The component method is generally regarded as being merely long and tedious. Yet, viewed in the correct way, the component method is…

Longley, Susan L.; Watson, David; Noyes, Russell, Jr. – Psychological Assessment, 2005
Although hypochondriasis is associated with the costly use of unnecessary medical resources, this mental health problem remains largely neglected. A lack of clear conceptual models and valid measures has impeded accurate assessment and hindered progress. The Multidimensional Inventory of Hypochondriacal Traits (MIHT) addresses these deficiencies…

Shea, Andrew J.; Slaney, Robert B.; Rice, Kenneth G. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2006
The authors describe 2 studies on the development of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale (A. J. Shea & R. B. Slaney, 1999). In Study 1 (N = 389), confirmatory analyses validated the factor structure of the measure, and additional results supported the reliability and construct validity of the subscale scores. In Study 2 (N = 280), data again…

This study compared teachers' ratings of behavioral and emotional problems on the Teacher's Report Form for general population samples in 21 countries (N = 30,957). Correlations between internal consistency coefficients in different countries averaged 0.90. Effects of country on scale scores ranged from 3% to 13%. Gender effects ranged from less…

Coryn, Chris L. S.; Scriven, Michael – Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation, 2007
The evaluation of government-financed research has become increasingly important in the last few decades in terms of increasing the quality of, and payoff from, the research that is done, reducing the cost of doing it, and lending public credibility to the manner in which research is funded. But there are very large differences throughout the…

Li, Weidong; Xiang, Ping – Quest, 2007
The construct of ability conceptions plays a critical role in children's motivation and achievement behaviors in education, including physical education. Valid and reliable measures of this construct are essential to advance our knowledge of children's ability conceptions and related cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes. From a…

Lissitz and Samuelsen (2007) propose a new framework for validity theory and terminology, emphasizing a shift in theory and practice toward issues of test content rather than constructs. The author of this article argues that several of Lissitz and Samuelsen's critiques of validity theory focus on previously considered, but subsequently discarded,…
