The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Self-Critical Rumination Scale in Turkish culture and to examine the mediating role of self-critical rumination in the relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination among university students. In line with this objective, firstly we reached out 282 undergraduate students studying at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University in the Fall semester of 2018-2019 academic year. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed with the data obtained. As a result of the validity and reliability analyses, it was concluded that the Self-Critical Rumination Scale was a valid and reliable measurement tool in Turkish culture. In order to examine the relationship between perfectionism, self-critical rumination, and academic procrastination, 712 undergraduate students aged between 18 and 33 years participated in the study. Basic Mediation Analysis was performed with the data obtained. Jamovi and RStudio softwares were used to analyze the data. In the light of the findings, self-critical rumination was found to have a fully mediating role in the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and academic procrastination. On the other hand, while there was a low negative and significant relationship between adaptive perfectionism and academic procrastination, no significant correlation was found between self-critical rumination and adaptive perfectionism. Finally, findings were discussed and suggestions were made to both researchers and practitioners in the light of literature.Keywords: Academic procrastination, perfectionism, self-critical rumination, open science practices

Two Samples

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a self-report scale for assessing perceived driver competence, labeled the Self-Efficacy Scale for Driver Competence (SSDC), using item response theory analyses. Two samples of Swedish driving-license examinees (n = 795; n = 714) completed two versions of the SSDC that were parallel in content. Prior work, using classical test theory analyses, has provided support for the validity and reliability of scores from the SSDC. This study investigated the measurement precision, item hierarchy, and differential functioning for males and females of the items in the SSDC as well as how the rating scale functions. The results confirmed the previous findings; that the SSDC demonstrates sound psychometric properties. In addition, the findings showed that measurement precision could be increased by adding items that tap higher self-efficacy levels. Moreover, the rating scale can be improved by reducing the number of categories or by providing each category with a label.

Central Elements

For the development of a democratic self, dialogical relationships between different people and between different positions in the self are paramount. After a review of studies on self-talk, the main part of this chapter is devoted to a comparison of the works of two classic thinkers on dialogue, Mikhail Bakhtin and David Bohm. A third theoretical perspective is depicted in which central elements of the two theorists are combined. This perspective centers around the concept of “generative dialogue” that, as a learning process, has the potential of innovation in the form of new and common meanings without total unification of the different positions. Elaborating on central features of generative dialogue, a distinction is made between consonant and dissonant dialogue, the latter of which is inevitable in a time of globalization and localization in which people are increasingly interdependent and, at the same time, faced with their apparent differences.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Scale for the Assessment of Self-Care Behaviors with Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemodialysis. Cross-sectional validation study, followed the recommendation provided by Sousa and Rojjanasrirat. Content validity, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses used to check validity and Cronbach’s alpha was the reliability measure. Three hundred hemodialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula were included in the study. The expert committee assessed the content validity. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed the same two-factor structure found for the original scale, explaining 60.10% of the variance. Such solution was checked by confirmatory factor analysis with Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.920, 0.810, and 0.884 for the overall scale, the self-care in management of signs and symptoms and the self-care in prevention of complications subscales respectively. The scale has good psychometric properties to assess self-care behaviors and can be used with Brazilian patients on hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistula.
