Methoden und Daten zur Erforschung spezieller Organisationen: Parteien

2016

Die Parteienforschung ist eine interdisziplinare und theoretisch wie methodisch vielfaltige Forschung. Der Beitrag stellt relevante Methoden vor, die sich zur empirischen Erforschung von Parteien eignen und diskutiert Probleme aus der praktischen Forschungsarbeit. Dabei zeigt er die Relevanz der theoretischen Interdisziplinaritat wie der Methodentriangulation qualitativer und quantitativer Daten fur die Erstellung eines umfassenden Bildes politischer Parteien auf.

Further Evidence for Criterion Validity and Measurement Invariance of the Luxembourg Workplace Mobbing Scale

2020

Abstract. Workplace mobbing has various negative consequences for targeted individuals and are costly to organizations. At present it is debated whether gender, age, or occupation are potential risk factors. However, empirical data remain inconclusive as measures of workplace mobbing so far lack of measurement invariance (MI) testing – a prerequisite for meaningful manifest between-group comparisons. To close this research gap, the present study sought to further elucidate MI of the recently developed brief Luxembourg Workplace Mobbing Scale (LWMS; Steffgen, Sischka, Schmidt, Kohl, & Happ, 2016 ) across gender, age, and occupational groups and to test whether these factors represent im…

Revista complutense de educación

2020

espanolEn un barrio de la ciudad de Valencia, dos grupos de mujeres, uno de cultura gitana y otro de no gitana, junto con el profesorado y las familias de la escuela publica, inician un recorrido de conocimiento y transformacion mutuos. En el citado barrio y en el centro escolar se habian detectado problemas de convivencia entre los grupos de diferentes culturas. El proyecto se basa en una pedagogia comprometida con la investigacion-accion participativa y transformativa de la comunidad que hunde sus raices en las narrativas, en la reflexion y en la practica transformadora. En el diseno y seguimiento del proyecto, aplicamos una metodologia etnografica para analizar el conjunto de la realidad…

Sensory and affective components of symptom perception: A psychometric approach

2018

Psychological accounts of symptom perception put forward that symptom experiences consist of sensory-perceptual and affective-motivational components. This division is also suggested by psychometric studies investigating the latent structure of symptom reporting. To corroborate the view that the general and symptom-specific factors of a bifactor model represent affective and sensory components, respectively, we performed bifactor models applying confirmatory factor analytic approaches to the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 and the Checklist for Symptoms in Daily Life completed by 1053 undergraduate students. Additionally, we explored the association of latent factors with negative affectivi…

Is Small Still Beautiful for the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire? Novel Findings Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling.

2020

Article first published online: June 17, 2018 During the present decade a large body of research has employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factor structure of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) across multiple languages and cultures. However, because CFA can produce strongly biased estimations when the population cross-loadings differ meaningfully from zero, it may not be the most appropriate framework to model the SDQ responses. With this in mind, the current study sought to assess the factorial structure of the SDQ using the more flexible exploratory structural equation modeling approach. Using a large-scale Spanish sample composed of 67,253 youths ag…

Structure of Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety With Chinese College Students: A Bifactor Approach

2018

The Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety (ASDA), as one of the most widely used measures of death anxiety (DA), has increasingly been applied in many studies. However, the structures derived from different studies are highly inconsistent. In this study, both traditional and novel (bifactor) modeling approaches were used, to investigate the most optimal structure of the ASDA in a sample of 984 Chinese college students. After a series of comparisons, the results showed that the bifactor model, with a dominant general DA factor and three distinct sub-dimensions, was the most optimal measurement structure, and measurement invariance of this bifactor model between sexes was also confirmed. Based on the…

As dimensões do bem-estar das crianças que vivem em Buenos Aires

2017

This paper presents the concept of Well-being, defined as the cognitive and affective evaluation that a person makes of his/her own life. The interest is centered in understanding what makes them happy and what generates well-being among boys and girls. In order to do so, different areas of children’s lives were accessed, trying to encompass the social, cultural and political dimensions of Well-being. Qualitative method was used, giving the children a protagonist role. Two groups of boys and girls between 8 and 12 years old participated, living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The group technique was used, we gave voice to the children and focused on the following topics: significant people in t…

Short Form of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2

2020

Abstract. The purpose of the present study was to develop a short form of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2) based on the German STAXI-2. Item selection was performed based on exploratory factor analyses (EFA) using descriptive statistical parameters and content-related considerations on calibration samples ( N1 = 215, N2 = 310). The factorial structure of the final extracted scales was validated via confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) ( N3 = 216, N4 = 310). Overall, results present an economic and reliable questionnaire with a total length of 24 items: State Anger short scales Feeling Angry, Verbal Anger Impulse, and Physical Anger Impulse (3 items each), that can be ag…

Superación de errores conceptuales del equilibrio químico mediante una metodología basada en el empleo exclusivo de la constante de equilibrio

2018

<span>A partir del trabajo iniciado por Driscoll (1960), un gran número de investigadores han intentado conocer cuáles son las dificultades y errores conceptuales relacionados con el equilibrio químico. Algunas de estas investigaciones han tratado, además, establecer su posible origen. Entre otras causas, se han señalado las siguientes...</span>
