Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to conduct factor analysis of the Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students, with 10 items, prepared by Bembenutty and Karabenick (1998), on Indian professional courses students. 461 students (256 boys and 205 girls) from engineering, pharmacy, law and education professional courses of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Hyderabad, voluntarily participated in the study, out of which 336 students (190 boys and 146 girls) were part of exploratory factor analysis. With the help of SPSS Statistics Ver.23, Principal Axis Factor extraction method and Varimax rotation, two factors were extracted. Monte Carlo PCA Parallel Analysis was used to settle for one factor explaining 16% variance. The reliability of the instrument using Cronbach’s Alpha was found to be 0.715. SPSS Amos Ver. 23 was used to confirm the factor structure and establish within-network construct validity of the instrument using Fit index tests like Chi test p value, DF, CMIN/DF, TLI, CFI, IFI, NFI,RMR and RMSEA from the data of 125 students (66 boys and 59 girls), followed by between network validity based on construct validation approach using Pearson’s product moment correlation the data of 136 students (100 boys and 36 girls) measuring their academic delay of gratification and emotional intelligence. There were sufficient evidences to establish that this instrument in its present form can be administered on Indian urban students for the measurement of academic delay of gratification.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study measured the partial (configural, metric and scalar) invariance of Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students prepared by Hefer Bembenutty and Stuart Karabenick (1996), with respect to gender. 488 students (277 boys and 211 girls) from engineering, law, pharmacy, and education faculties of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Hyderabad, were samples of the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis framework was used to test the three invariance, one at a time, using SPSS AMOS Ver.23. This was done by constraining the factor structure, factor loadings and intercepts for the genders boys and girls simultaneously. The SPSS AMOS CFA test provided Chi-square value and degree of freedom for the unconstrained and the constrained structures. By comparing the difference in the Chi-square test p-value for a degree of freedom of the constrained factor structure with the unconstrained structure’s Chi-Square p-value and its degree of freedom using an excel sheet calculator of Chi-square test available on the Internet, the measurement invariance of the instrument was verified. The findings of the study reveal that the scale is configural and metric invariant, as there is no significant difference between constrained and unconstrained structures. However, the scale is not scalar invariant. The educational implications are discussed.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to examine the relationship between academic delay of gratification and emotional intelligence in professional courses students. Sample for the study includes 136 urban students ( 99 boys and 37 girls ) from Engineering, Pharmacy, Law and Education courses of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring delay of gratification is collected using Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students prepared by Hefer Bembenutty (1997). Emotional intelligence is measured by collecting data using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue- ASF), prepared by Petrides, K. V. and Furnham, A. (2006) for adolescents. For data analysis, Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation coefficient is used. The significance of the test is calculated for the level of significance α at 0.05, using SPSS Statistics Ver.23. Power analysis using G Power Software is used to reveal the minimum sample size to 112 for effect size 0.3 and power 0.9. The findings of the study reveal positive in nature, moderate in strength and highly significant relationship between the variables. No role of gender is found. Educational implications are discussed.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

Most of the research on academic delay of gratification, a vital academic variable, is available in foreign context. Research studies on this construct on Indian students at secondary, higher secondary and tertiary levels and a subsequent body of its literature are warranted. This is call for an awareness of the already available edifice of research work on this construct. The present study is a narrative review of the available literature on academic delay of gratification in a chronological manner. Electronic databases like Mandeley, Pub Med, ERIC and Google Scholar were used as data sources. Literature in the form of research articles and review articles were searched. The works with the exact keyword in their title were selected for study, and the literature on related keywords was strictly ignored, except a few seminal papers on a closely related variable, delay of gratification. The literature review included research articles starting from the first published work that linked the variable delay of gratification to enhanced academic performance by Walter Mischel et al. in 1990 to the latest research work done in 2016 by the researcher. Qualitative analysis was done on the selected articles for review. The study found that most of the research on this variable was conducted only on college students, followed by secondary school, middle school, higher secondary school and elementary school students as samples, respectively. The Indian version of the original ADOG scale is not available yet. These findings can pave way for further research on academic delay of gratification in India.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study verifies the three models on the dimensionality of the construct academic delay of gratification measured with the academic delay of gratification scale prepared by Bembenutty and Karabenick (1996). Sample of the study comprises of 488 professional courses undergraduate students of Muslim minority community (277 boys and 211 girls) from law, engineering, education and pharmacy faculties of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the responses of the 10 items provided by the sample using SPSS Statistics Ver.23 to extract the factors of the construct. Confirmatory factor analysis conducted using SPSS Amos Ver.23 provided the goodness of fit measures for each of the models. The unidimensional model produced excellent fit indices. Also, one factor model satisfied Gorsuch (1983) criterion to further verify the unidimensional nature of the construct, where the percentage of variance explained by factor 1 was nearly thrice when compared by the percentage of variance explained by the next subsequent factor 2. Monte Carlo principal component analysis method also revealed single factor for this variable. Implications of the findings are discussed.
