Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students
Yockey, Ronald D.; Kralowec, Charles J.
SAGE Open, v5 n4 Oct 2015
The relative fit of one- and two-factor models of the Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (PASS) was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis on an ethnically diverse sample of 345 participants. The results indicated that although the two-factor model provided better fit to the data than the one-factor model, neither model provided optimal fit. However, a two-factor model which accounted for common item theme pairs used by Solomon and Rothblum in the creation of the scale provided good fit to the data. In addition, a significant difference by ethnicity was also found on the fear of failure subscale of the PASS, with Whites having significantly lower scores than Asian Americans or Latino/as. Implications of the results are discussed and recommendations made for future work with the scale.
