The Australian Sheep-Goat Scale: An Evaluation of Factor Structure and Convergent Validity.
2018
The Australian Sheep-Goat Scale (ASGS) is a commonly used measure of belief in the paranormal. The scale contains items that index extrasensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), and life after death (LAD). Although, research employs the ASGS as both a general (unidimensional) and factorial (multidimensional) measure, few studies have examined the appropriateness of these solutions. Accordingly, the present paper tested the psychometric integrity of the ASGS via two studies. Study 1 assessed ASGS factorial structure using confirmatory factor analysis. To achieve this, merging of ASGS data from previously published studies and ongoing work created a heterogeneous sample of 1,601 responses…
An Evaluation of the Belief in Science Scale
2019
The Belief in Science Scale (BISS) is a unidimensional measure that assesses the degree to which science is valued as a source of superior knowledge. Due to increased academic interest in the concept of belief in science, the BISS has emerged as an important measurement instrument. Noting an absence of validation evidence, the present paper, via two studies, evaluated the scale’s factorial structure. Both studies drew on data collected from previous research. Study 1 (N = 686), using parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis, identified a unidimensional solution accounting for 56.43% of the observed variance. Study 2 (N = 535), using an independent sample, tested the unidimensional …

The relationship among beliefs about problem solving, epistemological beliefs, grade level, sex, and problem solving achievement: A study in secondar…
2020
The first purpuse of this investigation was to study the effects of sex and grade level on secondary students’ beliefs about epistemology and problem solving. The second purpuse was to analyze the contribution of both belief systems, grade level, and sex to problem solving achievement. One hundred and forty-four High School students, 9th and 11th grade students, took part in the study. Two questionnaires (Schommer and StageKloosterman’s questionnaires) and a problem solving test (two word problems of the PISA tests) were administered to these students. Two ANOVAs, an ANCOVA, and a multiple regression analysis were carried out from data obtained in the investigation. In the light of the fore…

2020
© 2020 The Authors. Nursing Open published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Aim: To develop an instrument to investigate knowledge and predictive factors of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSIs) in nursing students during clinical placements. Design: Instrument development and cross-sectional study for psychometric testing. Methods: A self-administered instrument including demographic data, injury epidemiology and predictive factors of NSIs was developed between October 2018–January 2019. Content validity was assessed by a panel of experts. The instrument's factor structure and discriminant validity were explored using principal components analysis. The STROBE guidelines were followed. Results: E…

Concepciones de planificación en la formación profesional para el empleo : la importancia de la experiencia profesional
2021
Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación que pertenece al grupo de estudios sobre el conocimiento del profesorado. Tiene como objetivos explorar las concepciones de planificación del profesorado y del personal gestor de la formación profesional para el empleo y analizar similitudes y divergencias entre las mismas, puesto que ambos son agentes que participan en los procesos de planificación en esta formación. La metodología es de orientación cuantitativa basada en un método descriptivo. Se han analizado las concepciones de planificación a través de un cuestionario adaptado de Marrero (1988) y validado por personas expertas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que no hay apena…
Effects of Sanctions, Moral Beliefs, and Neutralization on Information Security Policy Violations Across Cultures
2020
A principal concern of organizations is the failure of employees to comply with information security policies (ISPs). Deterrence theory is one of the most frequently used theories for examining ISP violations, yet studies using this theory have produced mixed results. Past research has indicated that cultural differences may be one reason for these inconsistent findings and have hence called for cross-cultural research on deterrence in information security. To address this gap, we formulated a model including deterrence, moral beliefs, shame, and neutralization techniques and tested it with the employees from 48 countries working for a large multinational company. peerReviewed
Inclusive University Teachers: What Characterizes them and how do they Think about Disability
2021
El incremento de estudiantes con discapacidad en las universidades españolas conlleva la necesidad de desarrollar prácticas docentes inclusivas que garanticen la participación y el aprendizaje de todo el alumnado. Con este trabajo se pretende: (1) conocer las concepciones que el profesorado universitario que ejerce prácticas docentes inclusivas tiene sobre la discapacidad; (2) analizar las razones que les motivan para tener en cuenta las necesidades de los estudiantes con discapacidad, y (3) describir las características que les definen. En el estudio participaron 42 docentes que fueron seleccionados como inclusivos por estudiantes con discapacidad de seis universidades públicas de diferent…
