ZusammenfassungDer vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen Erkenntnisse zur Arbeitssucht. Neben einer kurzen Eingrenzung des Störungsbildes bzw. der Symptomatik an sich werden diagnostische Probleme und Grenzen diskutiert. Ebenfalls werden zwei Verfahren zur Erfassung von Arbeitssucht vorgestellt: der Work Addiction Risk Test von Robinson und die Skala für Arbeitssucht von Schneider. Außerdem werden Maßnahmen zur Bewältigung von Arbeitssucht aufgezeigt, die sich auf einer individuellen, einer Arbeitgeber- und einer gesamtpolitischen Ebene einordnen lassen.

The purpose of this research is to find out the level of the content validity and con struct validity of the questions of the national assessment of Indonesian language subject for junior high school / MTs. The Research method applied in this research was qualitative research method. This research employed the qualitative analysis. To support this qualita tive research, the writer used some tools in the data analysis. They are 1) to figure out the content validity, the writer had matched the test items with the indicators listed in the SKL (Graduation Standard Competency) of the Indonesian Language subject 20102011 aca demic years; 2) For the construct validity, the writer used the evaluation format of multiple choice test items by applying material aspect, construct aspect, and language and culture aspect. After the research was conducted, it can be concluded that the questions of the National Assessment of Indonesian Language Subject for Junior High School / MTs in the 20102012 academic years have high content validity and construct validity. The content validity, the entire indicators in the SKL (Graduation Standard Competency) has been ap plied in the test items. However, the writer found that there are two indicators that are used in four test items. In fact, each indicator should be applied in one test item. The construct validity, by using analysis method of the evaluation format of multiplechoice test items, the writer figured out that 56% 100 % test items are appropriate with the aspects. Meanwhile, the test items which are not deal with the aspects are 16 – 44%.

This paper reported types of assessments and assessment practices used in Introduction to Literature (ITL) class. Looking at the context and the purpose of the assessment, the principles of classroom learning are to be applied in planning, constructing and administering the tests.

The test has two forms of assessment as dealt in learning contract that are spoken and written forms. The results of students’ assessment can be categorized into several categories: the first category is the students who have good achievement both in spoken and written performances; the second one is for category which the students have great range of different between spoken and written performances; the third category is the students who have the little range of differences between spoken and written performances; and the last category is the students who have got fair achievement both in spoken and written performances.

The present study was conducted to Construct and Standardize an Achievement Test in English for IX standard students . Test items were selected from syllabus of VIII grade prescribed by Punjab School Education Board, Mohali . Since the achievement test was intended for standard IX , therefore the VIII grade English textbook was used for constructing the achievement test. The entire syllabus was thoroughly scrutinized and then items were selected from the books of class VIII of P.S.E.B. In all 130 items from 14 aspects of class VIII were taken. After seeking expert opinion, items were reduced to 120. Each item was allotted one mark. Further , 20 items were rejected on the basis of difficulty level and discriminating value of the items. 100 items were selected which lie between .40 to .60. Content validity of the achievement test in English was established with help of experts' opinion i.e. English teachers of different schools. The split-half method was used to establish reliability and its calculated reliability is 0.86.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between attachment styles and various burnout risk groups (“relaxed”, “wornout”, “challenged” and “burnout”) and whether attachment styles suitably discriminate between individual burnout risk groups.MethodThe study involved 2,320 participants (1,668 women and 652 men), who completed an adrenal burnout syndrome questionnaire, a performance-based self esteem scale, a work addiction risk test and a relationship questionnaire.ResultsA one-way analysis of variance confirmed attachment style differences between burnout risk groups. The challenged and burnout groups differed from the relaxed and wornout groups by having a significantly lower secure attachment style score and a higher insecure (avoidant and preoccupied) attachment style score. The canonical discriminant analysis showed that the predictors (secure, preoccupied and avoidant attachment styles) can be used to appropriately classify 85.4% of respondents in the predicted burnout risk groups.ConclusionThe study confirmed the hypothesis that two insecure attachment styles (i.e. avoidant and preoccupied) predominate in the challenged and burnout groups, and that a secure attachment style predominates in the relaxed and wornout groups. Burnout syndrome can thus be conceived as the result of excessive and compulsive efforts to retain a relationship that is perceived as insecure or to reduce (excessive) fear of losing this relationship.

The Relationship

Background: Empirical evidence suggests that low self-esteem and high perfectionism are significant personality correlates of work addiction, but the mechanisms underlying these relationships are still unclear. Consequently, exploring cognitive mechanisms will help to better understand work addiction. For instance, rumination is one of the under-researched topics in work addiction, although it may explain specific thinking processes of work-addicted individuals. The purpose of the study was to test the mediating role of maladaptive rumination (i.e., brooding) in the relationship between personality and addiction. Methods: In a largescale cross-sectional, unrepresentative, online study, 4340 adults with a current job participated. The following psychometric instruments were used: Work Addiction Risk Test Revised, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, and Ruminative Response Scale. Results: It was found that self-oriented perfectionism, socially prescribed perfectionism, and self-esteem had both direct and indirect relationships with work addiction via the mediating effect of maladaptive rumination. The two paths involving brooding explained 44% of the direct relationship. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that brooding type of rumination as a putatively maladaptive strategy explains why individuals characterized by low self-esteem and high perfectionism may have a higher risk of work addiction. The results suggest that cognitive-affective mechanisms in work addiction are similar to those found in other addictive disorders.
