Spanish Validation of the Flourishing Scale in the General Population
2017
Well-being research and its measurement have grown in the last two decades. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Flourishing Scale in a sample of Spanish adults. This was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of 999 Spanish general adult population participants. The psychometric properties of the scale were analysed from an exploratory and confirmatory perspective. Exploratory factor analysis showed a one-factor solution explaining 42.3% of the variance; an internal consistency of .846; temporal reliability correlation of .749; convergent validity with the Satisfaction with Life Scale of .521 and criterion validity with positive and negative affect (P…
Finnish diabetes‐related quality of life questionnaire for children and adolescents: Reliability and validity
2020
Aim To study the psychometric properties, reliability, and validity of the FinDiab quality of life questionnaire (FDQL), a strength‐oriented quality of life (QOL) questionnaire for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods Participants were 215 youths with T1D (aged 10–17 years). They completed FDQL and comparison questionnaires (KINDL‐R and SDQ). Demographic and disease measures were collected from the participants’ medical records. The questionnaire’s psychometric properties were investigated. Construct validity was studied through principal component analysis using Promax rotation, reliability with alphas, and criterion and convergent validity with correlations between…

Assessment of Burden Among Family Caregivers of Schizophrenia: Psychometric Testing for Short-Form Zarit Burden Interviews
2018
Objective: Although various short forms of Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) have been developed, there is a lack of standard psychometric testing and comparison among them. The study aims to examine the psychometric properties of ten short versions of the most frequently used ZBI among a sample of schizophrenia caregivers and to find the one with the best performance.Methods: Cross-sectional door-to-door survey of ZBI-22 and a series of validated instrument data from 327 family caregivers of schizophrenia patients in a Chinese rural community were conducted from October 2015 to January 2016. Reliability was assessed using McDonald's omega coefficient (ω). Validity including concurrent validity,…
Validation of the swimming competence questionnaire for children
2020
Two studies were employed to test the reliability and validity of the Swimming Competence Questionnaire (SCQ) among primary school children. Study 1 was a cross-sectional survey in 4959 primary school children. Study 2 was a pre-post-test quasi-experiment among 1609 primary school children who underwent a 20-lesson learn-to-swim programme. In Study 1, exploratory structural equation modelling revealed excellent goodness-of-fit and scale reliability for a two-factor model comprising distance and skill factors, which supported the construct and convergent validity. SCQ scores were significantly and positively correlated with swimming outcomes (i.e., self-efficacy, intention, swimming frequenc…
Daudzdimensionālas personības aptaujas izstrāde un validizācija Latvijas pieaugušo izlasē
2014
Promocijas darba: Daudzdimensionālas personības aptaujas izstrāde un validizācija Latvijas pieaugušo izlasē Anotācija Promocijas darba ietvaros triju empīrisko pētījumu rezultātā tika izstrādāts daudzdimensionāls personības mērījuma instruments - Latvijas Personības aptauja (LPA-v3). Ar tās palīdzību var novērtēt sešus plašus personības faktorus: neirotismu, ekstraversiju, apzinīgumu, labvēlīgumu, atvērtību pieredzei un godīgumu-pieticību un četras personības iezīmes katrā faktora ietvaros. LPA-v3 uzrāda augstu iekšējas saskaņotības un retesta ticamību personības faktoru līmenī un apmierinošu līdz labu ticamību – apakšskalu līmenī. Ir apstiprināta LPA-v3 validitāte, ieskaitot faktoriālo val…
