Theoretical Assumptions

Although the broad research regarding parental psychological control, instruments to assess the multidimensionality of the construct are lacking. The aim of the present study was to de-velop multidimensional measure of parental psychological control. In the first study, item se-lection of the new Inventory of Parental Psychological Control (IPPC) was conducted using a set of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in a sample of 209 emerging adults. The second study replicated the results by using different sets of analyses and independent sample of 400 emerging adults. In both studies, reliability and concurrent validity were also assessed. Re-sults suggested that both forms of IPPC are parallel with the theoretical assumptions and are psychometrically robust. IPPC can be used to assess multidimensionality of the construct.

Background: Low-income adolescents’ physical activity (PA) levels fall below current recommendations. Perceived barriers to physical activity (PBPA) are likely significant predictors of PA levels; however, valid and reliable measures to assess PA barriers are lacking. This manuscript describes the development of the PBPA Survey for Low-Income Adolescents. Methods: A mixed-method approach was used. Items identified from the literature and revised for clarity and appropriateness (postcognitive interviews) were assessed for test–retest reliability with 74 adolescents using intraclass correlation coefficient. Items demonstrating low intraclass correlation coefficients or floor effects were removed. Both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis analyses (n = 1914 low-income teens) were used to finalize the scale; internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha. Concurrent validity was established by correlating the PBPA with the PA questionnaire for adolescents using a Spearman correlation. Results: The exploratory factor analysis yielded a 38-item, 7-factor solution, which was cross-validated by confirmatory factor analysis (comparative-fit index, nonnormed fit index = .90). The scale’s Cronbach’s alpha was .94, with subscales ranging from .70 to .88. The PBPA Survey for Low-Income Adolescents’ concurrent validity was supported by a negative PA questionnaire for adolescents’ correlation values. Conclusion: The PBPA Survey for Low-Income Adolescents can be used to better understand the relationship between PBPA among low-income teens. Further research is warranted to validate the scale with other adolescent subgroups.

AbstractThis study aims to examine validity of items in Multidimensional Measure of Islamic Spirituality (MMS) scale which was first formulated by Dasti and Sitwat (1988). There are eight aspects of Islamic spirituality in this construct, namely: 1) quest and search for divinity, 2) feelings of connectedness with Allah, 3) self discipline, 4) anger-expansive, 5) self-aggrandizement, 6) meanness-generosity, 7) tolerance-intolerance, and 8) Islamic practices. Through 199 participants who are Moslem women and used to live in big cities, we conducted the validity of measuring instruments by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method and assisted by software Lisrel 8.7. CFA test results show that MMS scale that has been adapted into 46 items is valid. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas item dalam skala Multidimensional Measure of Islamic Spirituality (MMS) yang pertama kali dirumuskan oleh Dasti dan Sitwat (1988). Ada delapan aspek kerohanian Islam dalam konstruksi ini, yaitu: 1) pencarian keilahian, 2) perasaan terhubung dengan Allah, 3) disiplin diri, 4) kemarahan-ekspansif, 5) peningkatan diri, 6) kejelekan -generositas, 7) toleransi-intoleransi, dan 8) praktik Islam. Melalui 199 responden yang tinggal di kota-kota besar, kami melakukan validitas alat ukur dengan menggunakan metode Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Hasil tes CFA menunjukkan bahwa skala MMS yang telah diadaptasi menjadi 46 item valid.

This article reports on the development and the exploration of the underlying psychometric properties of the School Counselor Self-Advocacy Questionnaire, a measure of skills school counselors can use to advocate for their roles and programs. An exploratory factor analysis (N = 188) suggested a unidimensional model, and a confirmatory factor analysis indicated the overall model robustly explains the data, accounting for 80% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha reliability estimates ranged from .84 to .87 for the questionnaire and the estimates of concurrent validity were promising. Implications for school counselor advocacy practice are also included.

The A-ADS is one the first validated measures of attitudes of dementia in adolescents, though further validation is needed. 630 adolescents were recruited from secondary schools in England. A Principal Component Analysis was completed ( n = 230) followed by a Confirmatory Factor Analysis ( n = 400). Reducing the A-ADS into a single factor, 13-item measure (Brief A-ADS) improved the model fit of the measure (χ2 = 182.75, DF = 65, CMIN/DF = 2.81, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.07). The scale demonstrated good internal consistency, good predictive and concurrent validity. Building on the validation of the A-ADS, the Brief A-ADS is suitable to capture attitudes towards dementia amongst adolescents.

The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) for coaches. Subjects were 173 coaches (20–65 years old) from both sexes, from individual and team sports, ranging from amateur to national level; the instruments were the Coach version of CART-Q translated and adapted to Portuguese and the Athletic Satisfaction Scale adapted for coaches. Data analysis consisted of confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability), concurrent validity (Spearman correlation), and temporal stability (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a model with 11 items presenting adequate fit (χ2/df = 2.68; comparative fit index = 0.92; goodness-of-fit index = 0.91; Tucker–Lewis index = 0.90; root mean square error of approximation = 0.10) and the existence of a second-order factor (coach–athlete relationship). The scale has shown satisfactory internal consistency (composite reliability > 0.70 and α > 0.70). Concurrent validity assessment presented significant relationships (r > 0.40) with all coach satisfaction variables and temporal stability after 15 days was also adequate (0.65 < ICC < 0.88). It was concluded that the Brazilian version of the CART-Q Coach is adequate to assess coaches' perception regarding the relationship with their athletes.

Religiusitas dapat dipahami sebagai suatu pencarian individu atau kelompok pada hal yang sakral yang terbuka pada konteks kesakralan tradisional. Menurut. Fetzer (2003), religiusitas tersusun dari 12 dimensi, yaitu: pengalaman beragama sehari-hari (daily spiritual experience), mengalami kebermaknaan hidup dengan beragama (meaning), mengekspresikan keagamaan sebagai sebuah nilai (values), meyakini ajaran agamanya (beliefs), pengampunan (forgiveness), melakukan praktek beragama secara pribadi (private religious practices), menggunakan agama sebagai coping (religious/spiritual coping), mendapat dukungan dari sesama penganut agama (religious support), mengalami sejarah keberagamaan (religious/ spiritual history), komitmen beragama (commitment), mengikuti organisasi atau kegiatan keagamaan (organizational religiosness) dan meyakini pilihan agamanya (religious preference). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas kostruk instrumen tersebut. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari remaja di desa Kutruk yang berjumlah 200 orang. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengujinya adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) menggunakan software LISREL 8.70. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bawa seluruh item yang berjumlah 37 item bersifat unidimensional. Artinya seluruh item hanya mengukur satu faktor saja sehingga model satu faktor yang diteorikan oleh Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) dapat diterima. Religiosity can be understood as a search for individuals or groups on sacred things that are open in the context of traditional sacredness. According to. Fetzer (2003), religiosity is composed of 12 dimensions, namely: daily religious experience (daily spiritual experience), experiencing meaningfulness of life with religion (meaning), expressing religion as a value (values), believing the teachings of religion (beliefs), forgiveness (forgiveness), practicing personal religion, using religion as coping (religious / spiritual coping), getting support from fellow religious followers, experiencing religious history (religious / spiritual history), religious commitment ( commitment), following an organization or religious activity (organizational religiosness) and believing in a religious preference. This study aims to examine the validity of the boarding instrument. The data in this study were obtained from adolescents in Kutruk village, which numbered 200 people. The method used to test it is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using LISREL 8.70 software. The results of this study show that all items totaling 37 items are unidimensional. This means that all items only measure one factor so that the one factor model theorized by the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness / Spirituality (BMMRS) is acceptable.

Background: At present, the validity and reliability evidence of the Malay version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-M) is only available by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The aim of this study is to validate and determine the psychometric properties of the SAS-M by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 323 medical students in Universiti Sains Malaysia. The students were given questionnaire forms consisting of socio-demographic information, the SAS-M and the Malay version of the Internet Addiction Test (MVIAT). The CFA was conducted using robust maximum likelihood estimator. The internal consistency reliability was determined by Raykov’s rho coefficient. The concurrent validity was assessed by the Pearson’s correlations between the factor scores of the SAS-M and the MVIAT. Results: The analysis showed the five-factor model of the SAS-M has an acceptable model fit after the inclusion of 12 correlated errors (SRMR = 0.067, RMSEA 0.059 (90% CI: 0.054, 0.065), CFI = 0.895, TLI = 0.882). The factor loadings ranged from 0.320 to 0.875. The internal consistency reliability was good (Raykov’s rho = 0.713 to 0.858) and it showed good concurrent validity with the MVIAT. Conclusions: The CFA showed that the SAS-M is a valid and reliable self-administered questionnaire to measure the level of smartphone addiction among medical students.

And Behaviors

Measuring attitudes and behaviors associated with sexual consent is crucial to research addressing sexual violence, as lack of consent is a defining feature thereof. This research developed and validated the Process-Based Consent Scale to address concerns associated with missing components of existing consent scales. The factor structure was supported by an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and subsequent confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The scale contains three subscales: ongoing consent, communicative sexuality, and subtle coercion. Results indicated good convergent and concurrent validity. Future research should consider using this tool to measure attitudes and behaviors related to sexual consent and coercion.
