The Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS)
2021
Abstract. The current study proposed the adaptation of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS) to the religious domain as an instrument to measure both individuals’ religious identity formation processes (when a variable-centered approach is adopted) and religious identity statuses (when a person-centered approach is adopted). The scale has been tested on a sample of 727 Italian participants aged 13–65 years, by collecting evidence of score structure, convergent, and criterion-related validity. Regarding the score structure validity, we confirmed that religious identity formation consists of three processes (commitment, in-depth exploration, reconsideration of commitm…
Resilience and the Aging Process: Assessment Tools and Needs
2015
Abstract Successful resilience is a variable often related to an optimal aging process and that might have a role on education. However, literature is rather limited when dealing with assessment instruments for the elderly in the Spanish language. The objective of this work is to examine the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (Sinclair &Wallston, 2004), a four item likert scale, in the Spanish elderly. This scale was administrated to a sample of 920 elderly Spanish participants, and the data set analysed in terms of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency. The scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. Furthermore, the homogeneity indices were higher than in th…
Referee efficacy in the context of Norwegian soccer referees – A meaningful construct?
2018
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was two-fold. Firstly, to examine the measurement/factorial validity and invariance of the Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (REFS) among Norwegian soccer referees. Secondly, extending scale validation, we also tested a structural model in which a second-order version of the REFS was modelled to mediate a set of theoretically informed antecedents and outcomes. Design Cross-sectional. Method One hundred and eleven Norwegian elite referees and 81 non-elite referees completed an electronic questionnaire measuring expected antecedents and outcomes of perceived self-efficacy in the role as referees. Results Analyses provided support for the first – and sec…
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…
Validating of a hetero- and self-evaluation tool for teaching organization
2021
Il contributo presenta uno strumento di etero-auto-valutazione della capacità di organizzazione dell’insegnamento in classe, che è stato usato per misurare negli insegnanti in formazione le abilità di previsione e sviluppo di un intervento didattico, di regolazione e riflessione sulla pratica. Osservare e decidere, pensare che cosa, perché e come insegnare, progettare e valutare in modo autentico, sono operazioni complesse e determinanti per creare l’humus organizzativo e metodologico che caratterizza lo sviluppo professionale dell’insegnante, anche riguardo alle competenze comunicative e riflessive (Perrenoud, 2012; Conole, 2014; Panke, 2019). La rating scale, con le azioni da osservare, è…
The meaningfulness of two curriculum-based national tests of English as a foreign language
2022
This paper addresses the aspect of the meaningfulness of a national assessment in English as a foreign language, applying the fairness framework proposed by Kunnan (2018). We compared students’ performance on two receptive language skills of listening and reading on two subsequent national evaluations in Finland, taken by students at the end of compulsory basic education and at the end of general upper secondary education, respectively. The research questions focus on (1) the relationship between students’ performance on the two tests and their gender, language of schooling and parents’ educational level, and (2) the relationship between the students’ receptive language proficiency at the e…
Adaption and validation of the German version of the basic psychological needs in physical education scale
2013
It is important to understand students’ motivation regarding physical activity to investigate the global issue physical inactivity. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT: Ryan & Deci, 2002), which is one of the most important frameworks in explaining motivation, students need to be emotionally satisfied in order to put effort towards a certain goal. The Basic Psychological Needs Theory is one sub-theory of the self-determination theory, which explains that constructs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness need to be satisfied in all humans in order to increase well-being. It is important to understand students’ motivation regarding physical activity to investigate the global issue o…

Resumen tomado de la publicación Dimensionalidad e invarianza de la medida del Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) en función del género. Antecedentes: el objetivo principal del presente estudio fue examinar la estructura dimensional y la invarianza de la medida en función del género del Índice de Reactividad Interpersonal (IRI, Davis, 1980). Método: dos muestras españolas de 2.499 estudiantes universitarios (71,2% mujeres, M = 21,06 años) y 1.438 adultos (57,8% mujeres, M = 40,01 años) completaron el IRI. Resultados: el análisis de la estructura interna, mediante modelos exploratorios de ecuaciones estructurales (ESEM), reveló que la estructura en cuatro factores (Toma de Perspectiva, Fan…

Resumen tomado de la publicación Versión española de la Escala Job Crafting. Antecedentes: una revisión de la literatura revela que no existen instrumentos de medida del job crafting en lengua española. Este artículo presenta la traducción, adaptación y validación de una escala para medir el comportamiento del job crafting (Spanish Job Crafting Scale -SJCS; Tims, Bakker, & Derks, 2012). Método: la escala fue aplicada a una muestra de 896 empleados (52,6% mujeres y 47,4% hombres). Se han testeado la fiabilidad y la validez factorial de un instrumento con 21 ítems. Resultados: después de realizar análisis confirmatorio (CFI= .858, TLI= .838, IFI= .860, RMSEA= .067), los resultados obtenidos c…
