Two attitude dichotomies – implicit versus explicit and affect versus cognition – are presumed to be related. Following a manipulation of attitudinal focus (affective or cognitive), participants completed two implicit measures (Implicit Association Test ...
Abstract. Although both individual and average causal effects are defined in Rubin's approach to causality, in this tradition almost all papers center around learning about the average causal effects. Almost no efforts deal with developing designs and ...
Abstract. In repeated cross-sections of organizations, different individuals are sampled from the same set of organizations at each time point of measurement. As a result, common longitudinal data analysis methods (e.g., latent growth ...
Abstract. Although theorized and generally accepted, research on the relationship (specifically the direction of the causal relationship) between person-job fit and work engagement is limited and not yet clear. Theoretical arguments can be ...
Abstract. Binge-watching is a highly relevant new media phenomenon. An increasing number of people watch multiple episodes of their favorite series online, a process often spanning several hours. Granow et al. (2018) showed that binge-watching ...
Abstract. Common model fit indices behave poorly in structural equation models for experience sampling data which typically contain many manifest variables. In this article, we propose a block-wise fit assessment for large models as an alternative. The ...
Abstract. Incremental fit indices (IFIs) are regularly used when assessing the fit of structural equation models. IFIs are based on the comparison of the fit of a target model with that of a null model. For maximum-likelihood estimation, IFIs are usually ...
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic brought forth unique challenges for schools, requiring a sudden shift to remote learning. However, there have been no empirical studies examining the effects of the pandemic on school quality. This study ...
Many psychologists collect multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data to assess the convergent and discriminant validity of psychological measures. In order to choose the most appropriate model, the types of methods applied have to be considered. It is shown how ...
Abstract. The objective of the present study was to examine whether different methods for dealing with dependency in meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) lead to different results. Four different methods for dealing with dependent effect ...
Abstract. Measurement invaraiance is a key concept in psychological assessment and a fundamental prerequisite for meaningful comparisons across groups. In the prevalent approach, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA), specific ...
Abstract.Background: Only recently has interoception been discussed as a common risk factor for psychopathology. Recent approaches distinguish between the ability to accurately perceive (interoceptive accuracy) and the propensity to ...
Abstract. In psychology and the social sciences, it is often of interest how complex structural relations among variables are moderated by profiles or combinations of persons’ attributes. Some state-of-the-art methods, such as latent ...
Abstract. Need for Cognition (NFC) is increasingly investigated in educational research. In contrast to other noncognitive constructs in this area, such as academic self-concept and interest, NFC has consistently been conceptualized as ...
Abstract: Teacher students’ professional educational knowledge is of great importance in academic teacher education. In response to the need to continuously optimize and improve teacher education, we developed a standards-based test ...
Different methods are reviewed for estimating reliability based on a single administration of a test consisting of ordered categorical items. The nonlinear SEM reliability coefficient appears more flexible than other methods because it is designed to ...
This article presents a model for investigating the effects of general and specific processes on intelligence as criterion variable. The model enables the representation of the processes as exogenous latent variables that predict the criterion, that is, ...
Confirmatory Analysis of the SF-12 Version 2.0 Scale Structure in a Representative German SampleAbstract. The SF-12 questionnaire is the short version of the SF-36 Health Survey, which is mainly used for the generic collection of data on health-related ...
