Construct Validity of Rizzo et al.'s (1970) Role Conflict and Ambiguity Scales: A Multisample Study
1998
La validite de construction des echelles de Rizzo, House, et Lirtzman (1970) a ete fortement critiquee ces dernieres annees. Les critiques portent sur la formulation des items qui constituent ces echelles, ce qui fait que l'interpretation des echelles depend totalement de la formulation des items. Ces critiques ont favorise l'emergence d'autres modeles factoriels. La duplication elargie de Kelloway et Barling (1990), l'analyse factorielle destinee a confirmer la validite des echelles de Rizzo et al. et une echelle de surcharge des roles avec des items formules a la fois affirmativement et negativement furent utilisees pour eprouver la validite de construction des echelles d'ambiguite et de …
Discriminant Validity of the Job-related Tension Scale
1993
L'Echelle de Tension Liee au Travail (JRTS) de Kahn et al. (1964) est l'une des echelles les plus usitees pour evaluer la tension professionnelle dans les etudes sur les correlats des conflits de roles et de l'ambiguite de role. Quelques auteurs ont suggere que cette echelle faisait appel aux concepts sous-jacents mesures par les echelles d'ambiguite et de conflits de roles (1970) de Rizzo, House, & Lirtzman (Jackson & Schuler, 1985). Dans cet article, la validite discriminante de la JRTS est mise factoriellement a l'epreuve
Factorial structure of recklessness: To what extent are older drivers different?
2003
This study tests whether the original factorial structure of a recklessness questionnaire can be maintained for the current Spanish population of older drivers.Our recent interest in dedicating special attention to senior citizen mobility (Monterde, 2001), is due to the impending increase of the aging population in Western countries; this has led us to reinitiate the psychometric study of the construct validity, revising and including older drivers in the psychometric aspects of those evaluation instruments that will then be used in the Spanish psycho-medical check of drivers and in research.Factorial analysis was used to determine validity.There was an appearance of a different psychologic…

Development and validation of the neighborhood environment walkability scale for youth across six continents
2019
Abstract Background The IPEN International Physical Activity and Environment Network Adolescent project was conducted using common study protocols to document the strength, shape, and generalizability of associations of perceived neighborhood environment attributes with adolescents’ physical activity and overweight/obesity using data from 15 countries. Countries did not use identical versions of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth (NEWS-Y) to measure perceived neighborhood environment attributes. Therefore, this study derived a measurement model for NEWS-Y items common to all IPEN Adolescent countries and developed a scoring protocol for the IPEN Adolescent version of t…
On site consolidation of burnt and partially charred wood in dry conditions
2011
Abstract Forty years ago in a xx th-century church in Torino, a small fire partially burned some of the decorative external boards of the sound-box of the organ. The focus of this present work was to find a treatment able to consolidate partially burnt wood in dry conditions, in which the external charred layer would be lost if not well preserved because of its incoherence. The product had to be applied onsite on an architectural structure intended to be reused again (and not simply exhibited). This circumstance is rarely encountered in the conservation of wooden Cultural Heritage. The efficacy of treatments was evaluated on the basis of a suitable and original experimental methodology, whi…
Self-Reported Cognitive Failures
2010
Investigated measurement models of self-report measures of cognitive failures in 5 studies (total of 3,122 participants aged 14-70). The Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) is a well-known and frequently used self-report measure of cognitive lapses and slips (e.g., throwing away the candy bar and keeping the wrapper). Measurement models of individual differences in cognitive failures have failed to produce consistent results so far. Therefore, in the present studies, the CFQ is compared to measures of competing measurement models: a measure of identical measurement intention (Short Inventory of Minor Lapses, SIML), a neuroticism test, a questionnaire on functional and dysfunctional self-c…
Adolescents' school-related self-concept mediates motor skills and psychosocial well-being.
2014
Background The health benefits of exercise participation and physical activity for mental health and psychosocial well-being (PSWB) have been shown in several studies. However, one important background factor, that is, motor skills (MSs), has largely been ignored. In addition, most of the existing research focuses on poor MSs, that is, poor MSs are often connected to poorer PSWB. The mechanism linking MSs and PSWB is unclear. However, a preliminary suggestion has been made that self-worth or self-perceptions might mediate the association between MSs and PSWB. Aim We investigated whether the self-concepts (SCs) of school-related physical education (SCPE), reading (SCR), and mathematics (SCM)…
Self-efficacy and perceived control in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
2010
Desde la Teoría de Acción Planeada (TAP), el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si la autoeficacia y la percepción de control presentan diferencias predictivas sobre la intención y las conductas preventivas de la enfermedad cardiovascular. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 359 sujetos. Los datos han sido analizados empleando el paquete estadístico EQS 6.1. Los resultados muestran que la autoeficacia influye positiva y significativamente sobre la intención y sobre la conducta, mientras que la percepción de control influye negativa y significativamente sobre la intención de conducta, pero no sobre la conducta preventiva. Este trabajo ha mostrado la conveniencia de distinguir entre autoeficaci…
