A Reanalysis of the Contributions of Perceptual and Cognitive Processes to IntelligenceSummary: An investigation of the dimensionality of processing times due to contributions of perceptual and cognitive processes is reported. For this purpose the data ...
On the Internal Structure of Global Self-Esteem (Rosenberg)Summary: The internal structure of a German version of Rosenberg's global self-esteem scale is investigated. Explorative and, in particular, confirmatory factor analyses show that the construct ...
Interdisciplinary Science Classes and the Dimensional Structure of Academic Self-Concept in the SciencesAcademic self-concept is considered a multidimensional, subject-specific construct. However, the extent to which the structure of school subjects ...
ADHD in adults: A dimensional or categorial construct?Abstract. In recent years, attention in empirical research has been drawn to the classification and structuring of mental disorders and constructs. Particular attention has been paid to the debate ...
Summary: Burnout has become a serious matter in workplace health, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is today the most widely used instrument for assessing the construct empirically. The present study examined the construct validity of a Swedish ...
This study analyzed the dimensionality of the German version of Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem scale (RSES) in a nationally representative population sample of 4,988 subjects (46.4% males; aged 14–92 years). Using confirmatory factor analysis, one- and two-...
Abstract. Mindfulness is conceived as a state in which the individual pays full attention to everything that is happening around him or her. The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) is the most popular instrument for assessing ...
Abstract. Several inventories have been developed to measure sensation seeking (SS), and each of these inventories has been based on an individual theoretical concept of the construct. However, most studies assessing SS disregarded the ...
Abstract. The Grit scale is a popular measure of achievement-striving behavior. Consisting of two subscales, Consistency of Interests (CI) and Perseverance of Effort (PE), this scale has been repeatedly demonstrated to have high ...
Abstract. The short form of the General Procrastination Scale (GPS-K; Klingsieck & Fries, 2012; Lay, 1986) is a reliable self-report scale measuring general procrastination. The presumed one-dimensional factor structure of the scale, ...
Abstract. The study reports results regarding the dimensionality and construct validity of a newly developed, objective, video-based personality test that assesses the willingness to take risks in traffic situations. On the basis of the theory of risk ...
The relationship between need for cognition (NFC) and measures of both personality and intelligence was investigated. Study 1 (N = 195) addressed recent concerns over item-polarity effects in NFC scales. With these effects removed, a reworded 34-item NFC ...
The primary goal in Correspondence analysis (CA) is to transform a contingency table into a graphical display in order to facilitate the interpretation of numerical information. As in other multivariate data analysis techniques, the aim is to explain as ...
Most of the strategies that have been proposed to determine the number of components that account for the most variation in a principal components analysis of a correlation matrix rely on the analysis of the eigenvalues and on numerical solutions. The ...
