There are different scales to measure value cocreation, but it still has no consensus about its uses. In this way, the aims to validate a multidimensional scale with seven factors related to individual characteristics and consumer behaviour included a new emerging dimension inside individual characteristics that are relevant to analyse value cocreation: power importance. The measurement instrument was developed, validated and tested using 1,300 Colombian and Vietnam consumers. For the final analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis was used, resulting in an adjusted and reliable multidimensional model. The results suggest seven dimensions (personal interaction, feedback, helping, tolerance, learning, personalization and power importance). Regarding the power importance that includes items that are related to the way in which consumers develop emotions at the moment of influencing others (authority, social recognized, wellness and monetary retribution). Finally, the present study contributes to the literature on value cocreation through the identification of a key aspect in the interaction between the company and the consumer. This term has recently attracted the attention of scholars and that has been little explored in the field of consumer behaviour.

Screening tools in health and education provide quick indicators that anticipate diagnostic evaluation and treatment. Faced with the socio-emotional competences of children, the Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE) was used in thepopulation of children enrolled in public pre-schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro during 2011. The objective of this work was to investigate aspects of its validity and reliability. Data from 23,334 children (50.6% boys) being an average age of 5 years old (SD: 3 months) and enrolled in 625 pre-schools were analyzed. After an intensive data analysis, the Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the results were favorable to the multidimensional model with a social and emotional dimension: χ2 (463) = 46363.495, p <0.001; RMSEA = 0.067; CFI = 0.918; TLI = 0.913. Reliability indicators were adequate. The results confirmedvalidity aspects of the ASQ:SE, thereby verifying its use for children aged 5 years old.

The purpose of this study to develop a new instrument of tawadhu that valid, unbiased, and can be used in Indonesia. The research method uses combination similarization in Islamic Psychological studies and psychological construction scale. The number of participants in this research is 613 Muslims with range 16 to 45 years old. Instrument consists of 7 items measuring intrapersonal dimension and 13 items measuring interpersonal dimension. Methods that used measuring instrument testing are Aiken validity and Multiple Groups Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) with a multidimensional model. The results of Aiken analysis show that all items are valid measuring tawadhu. Also, MGCFA shows that Indonesian Tawadhu Scale is an unbias scale. This instrument can be used by Muslims in Indonesia as it integrates the concept of Psychology and Islam.

Several studies have shown that entrepreneurial orientation in high school students can predict career choices as businessmen in the future. However, not many studies have developed a measurement instrument for entrepreneurial orientation in high school students in one solid variable construct. This study aims to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and norming on a scale that was previously explored. A survey of 646 high school students was conducted in six large cities throughout the provinces on Java Island, Indonesia. The results of this research confirmed that the construct of entrepreneurial orientation in high school students has three dimensions: innovativeness, risky proactiveness and competitiveness. The study also produced a norm index for junior and senior high school students. This scale will be useful in mapping the level of student’s entrepreneurial orientation and assist high school management bodies to prepare programs that are more suitable to developing entrepreneurial behavior in students.

Ketika kita berbicara dengan orangtua, manager, dan CEO tentang resiliensi, mereka mengetahui resiliensi adalah kapasitas untuk merespon keadaan yang sulit atau menantang terutama dengan tingkat stress yang tinggi atau kejadian-kejadian yang traumatis. Konsep pengukuran resiliensi berkembang dari massa ke massa baru pada dekade 90-an (1955) Werner & Smith mengembangkan seuatu alat ukur untuk mengukur resiliensi dalam setting dunia kerja yang disebut RQ-TEST (Resiliensi Quotionare Test). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji model struktur faktor RQ-TEST yaitu resiliensi. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari anak asuh Yayasan Bakti Pemuda Nusantara di daerah Banten dan Bogor tepatnya dari SMK Wijaya Plus Bogor dan SMKN2 Pandeglang yang berjumlah 201 orang, Sementara itu untuk menguji model struktur faktor instrumen pengukuran ini didasari oleh metode analisis faktor berupa confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), adapun penghitungannya menggunakan software LISREL 8.70. hasil dari penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat banyak sekali kesalahan pengukuran disebabkan oleh item yang berupa descriptor, kemudian terdapat item yang mengandung muatan negatif sehingga menimbulkan bias respon. When we talk with parents, managers and CEOs about resilience, they know that resilience is the capacity to respond to difficult or challenging situations, especially with high levels of stress or traumatic events. The concept of measuring resilience developed from a new mass to a mass in the decade of the 90s (1955) Werner & Smith developed a measuring tool to measure resilience in a work world setting called RQ-TEST (Resilience Quotionare Test). This study aims to examine the RQ-TEST factor structure model, namely resilience. The data in this study were obtained from foster children of the Bakti Pemuda Nusantara Foundation in the Banten and Bogor areas precisely from Wijaya Plus Bogor Vocational School and Pandeglang Vocational High School totaling 201 people. Meanwhile, to test the factor structure model this measurement instrument was based on factor analysis method in the form of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), as for the calculation using LISREL 8.70 software. the results of this study show that there are a lot of measurement errors caused by items in the form of descriptors, then there are items that contain negative charges, causing a response bias.

Taylor et al. evaluated Dupuy's general employee well-being measurement instrument and pointed out two concerns: a combination of positive and negative item wording and two different measurement response methods. Taylor et al. collected new data, ran a principal component analysis, and found three of Dupuy's five reported scales. In this study, the author reworded Taylor et al.'s final 18 items so that all items were worded positively, used a common measurement response, and removed double-barreled wording, which Taylor et al. did not note. The author of this current chapter conducted two studies. The first study's analysis of the new data produced a single eight-item scale with Cronbach alpha of .96 that explained 77% of the variance. The second study used confirmatory factor analysis that showed a four-item scale with GFI = 0.98, AGFI = 0.89, RMSEA = 0.13, and Chi-square = 9.96, df = 9, p < 0.000. The four-item scale had a Cronbach alpha of 0.86.

Authenticity has become increasingly important in the modern market as consumers seek products more resonant of tradition and originality. This study aimed to develop and validate a perceived authenticity scale for food specialties. Furthermore, this work exposed the causal relationship between authenticity and consumer behaviour, by quantitatively analysing the effects of perception of authenticity and identification with a product on consumers’ willingness to consume the cheese Algovian Emmentaler, an iconic dairy product produced in southern Germany and protected with the designation of origin. Three surveys were conducted over two different timeframes. One served as a pre-test in Germany with a representative sample for the second two in Germany and Italy with a gourmet sample. Both objective authenticity and subjective authenticity were considered, with the former comprising concepts such as whether the respondent was sure of the cheese’s origin and the latter what the cheese embodied. Identification with Algovian Emmentaler was also surveyed. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted on the survey data in order to construct an authenticity scale. Based on this scale, structural equation models were constructed. Objective authenticity was found to positively contribute to stated willingness to consume, as well as mediate subjective authenticity, which itself mediated the effects of identification. Subjective authenticity was a large contributing factor to willingness to consume among German consumers, whereas the effects of objective authenticity were higher in Italy compared with the former. Expectedly, identification with Algovian Emmentaler also had a high direct effect on willingness to consume in Germany.

Investigating how people perceive Chinese Classical Gardens (CCGs) and their appeal are important issues of landscape studies. By considering the Liu-Yuan Garden, we developed a measurement instrument to investigate the perceived dimensions of landscape appreciation. Based on literature review, the descriptive items to measure how people perceived Liu-Yuan Garden were developed. Then, the explorative factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were employed, and six dimensions were extracted and validated including “Adoration”, “Nostalgia”, “Liveliness”, “Exquisiteness”, “Hedonic Value”, and “Placeness”. Finally, the Ordinary Linear Regression method was employed to estimate how the aesthetic appreciation is influenced by these perceived dimensions. The result revealed that four of these dimensions were significantly correlated with aesthetic pleasure. The influences of these perceived dimensions on aesthetic pleasure were measured and compared. The results indicated that “Placeness” provided the most important influence on aesthetic pleasure, whereas “Liveliness” was the least influential of the four related dimensions.
