AbstractBackground and aimsDue to its important role in both healthy groups and those with physical, mental and behavioral disorders, impulsivity is a widely researched construct. Among various self-report questionnaires of impulsivity, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale is arguably the most frequently used measure. Despite its international use, inconsistencies in the suggested factor structure of its latest version, the BIS-11, have been observed repeatedly in different samples. The goal of the present study was therefore to test the factor structure of the BIS-11 in several samples.MethodsExploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on two representative samples of Hungarian adults (N = 2,457; N = 2,040) and a college sample (N = 765).ResultsAnalyses did not confirm the original model of the measure in any of the samples. Based on explorative factor analyses, an alternative three-factor model (cognitive impulsivity; behavioral impulsivity; and impatience/restlessness) of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale is suggested. The pattern of the associations between the three factors and aggression, exercise, smoking, alcohol use, and psychological distress supports the construct validity of this new model.DiscussionThe new measurement model of impulsivity was confirmed in two independent samples. However, it requires further cross-cultural validation to clarify the content of self-reported impulsivity in both clinical and nonclinical samples.

Study Results

Background: Contact lens practitioners (CLPs) play a vital role in the fitting of contact lenses (CL) and thus have a great influence on patient compliance. Studies have often focused on investigating levels of compliance and thus limited knowledge of CLP practices. Thus, this study aimed to investigate CLP practices on CL wear and care. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select consenting CLP’s working Lions Sight First Eye Hospital (LSFEH). A self-administered questionnaire, containing questions on current Practices, was used to collect information. Once ethical clearance from MMUST IERC, NACOSTI and permission LSFEH were obtained data collection process began. A total of fifteen (15) CLP participated in the study. Results: The mean age of the practitioners was 31± 3.87. Most (67%) of the CLPs had worked for between 5 to 10 years. A majority (73%) of the practitioners had bachelor’s degree. Most (87%) of them specialized in soft lenses. Majority of the CLP use of written appointment card, 53% of the CLP use of manufacturer guidelines and oral communication is the most used form of training patients as said by 60% of the CLP. Conclusion: CLPs at LSFEH had good wear and care practices on patient instruction. For successful CL wear, patients need to follow instructions given by CLPs on CL wear and care. It is, therefore, necessary for CLPs to practice according to the recommended guidelines to avoid patient non-compliance. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0726/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Abstract. Behavior is effectively altruistic to the degree that it is costly for the actor while benefiting others. In a series of preregistered studies, we constructed a 15-item self-report scale assessing three different facets of altruistic behavioral traits: help-giving, moral courage, and peer punishment. Item selection was performed with the help of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) procedures as implemented in the stuart package for R. Confirmatory factor analysis of the three-factor measurement model showed excellent fit, outperforming classical item selection procedures. The scale was structure-validated in a second sample using a multiple group model that showed full measurement and structural invariance. A pilot study shows correlations of the subscales with economic game decisions. We discuss the scale structure and potential applications.

Conscious appraisals of stress, or stress states, are an important aspect of human performance. This article presents evidence supporting the validity and measurement characteristics of a short multidimensional self-report measure of stress state, the Short Stress State Questionnaire (SSSQ; Helton, 2004 ). The SSSQ measures task engagement, distress, and worry. A confirmatory factor analysis of the SSSQ using data pooled from multiple samples suggests the SSSQ does have a three factor structure and post-task changes are not due to changes in factor structure, but to mean level changes (state changes). In addition, the SSSQ demonstrates sensitivity to task stressors in line with hypotheses. Different task conditions elicited unique patterns of stress state on the three factors of the SSSQ in line with prior predictions. The 24-item SSSQ is a valid measure of stress state which may be useful to researchers interested in conscious appraisals of task-related stress.
