The Emotion Regulation Cecklist Italian Translation Validation for parents and teacher versions.
2014
Our research explored the factor structure and the reliability of the Italian version of the Emotion Regulation Checklist [ERC; Shields, A.,& Cicchetti, D. (1997). Emotion regulation among school-age children: The development and validation of a new criterion Q-sort scale. Developmental Psychology, 33, 906-916], an instrument that has been widely adopted in studies using parents and/or teachers as informants. We carried out two studies evaluating the properties of the Italian ERC (ERC-I) when completed by parents and teachers, respectively. Study 1 participants were kindergarten and elementary school children for whom the ERC was completed by their mothers. Study 2 involved kindergarten and…
Development and Validation of the Brief Music in Mood Regulation Scale (B-MMR)
2012
mood regulation has been shown to be among of the most important reasons for musical engagement, but there has been a lack of a concise measurement instrument for this behavior. The current study focused on developing and testing the Brief Music in Mood Regulation scale (B-MMR), a 21-item self-report instrument for assessing the use of seven different music-related mood-regulation strategies. Two survey studies (N = 1515 and N = 526) were conducted to first develop and then test and validate the instrument. The newly constructed scale showed adequate internal consistency reliabilities and correlated expectedly with measures of general emotion regulation and musical engagement. As a concise …
Fiabilidad y evidencias de validez de un instrumento para la evaluación de la calidad de los mapas conceptuales
2017
Diversos autores han señalado el interés y la pertinencia de los mapas conceptuales como herramientas para el aprendizaje significativo. Sin embargo, la revisión de la literatura pone de manifiesto la escasez de propuestas dirigidas a la evaluación de los mapas con criterios objetivables y la complejidad de las existentes. El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollar un instrumento para la evaluación de los mapas conceptuales en formato rúbrica. De esta manera, se consigue que los alumnos posean una herramienta que permita, mediante indicadores precisos, la evaluación de la calidad tanto de sus ejecuciones como de las ejecuciones realizadas por otros. Se construyó una rúbrica que incluy…

The article focuses on the ethical practices involved in collecting and organizing large datasets, which can also impact the quality of the data and the study as a whole. We report our experiences in the DIALUKI project (Diagnosing reading and writing in a second or foreign language), in which we visited over a hundred schools to obtain a dataset of over a thousand variables from nearly a thousand pupils. Such a project is interesting from the ethical perspective, as data collection for such a large project requires special attention to ethical standards and issues throughout the project, from planning and recruiting the participants to organizing, storing, analyzing and interpreting the da…
Development and Psychometric Validation of the Brief Nurses' Practice Environment Scale and Its Relation to Burnout Syndrome and Job Satisfaction: A …
2020
Introduction: Nursing environment is a vast concept that traditionally has included a wide range of job characteristics and has been related to burnout and job satisfaction. For its measurement, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PESNWI) stands out. However, shorter instruments are needed. The purpose of the study is to develop and test the Brief Nurses' Practice Environment (BNPE) Scale.Methods: The BNPE Scale was developed and tested in a sample of 210 Spanish nurses (data collection 2018).Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.702. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), with an excellent fit, offered evidence of internal validity. Regarding validity, the BNPE Scale predi…
Translation and validation of Brunel Mood Scale for Serbian athlete population
2014
Ivica Rajkovic, 2014. Translation and validation of Brunel Mood Scale for Serbian athlete population. Master Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences, University of Jyväskylä. 40p. Present study developed and validated the Serbian version (SERMS) of Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS). BRUMS is 24 item questionnaire used to asses mood profile on six subscales (anger, confusion, depression, fatigue, tension and vigour). BRUMS was translated in to the Serbian using translation-back translation method, and administered to 354 athletes in Serbia and Montenegro. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Cronbach’s alpha were used to determine factor validity and internal consisten…
The role of ethical organizational culture in preventing sickness absence and turnover in organizations
2016
This research examined the role of ethical organizational culture in preventing sickness absence and turnover in organizations, and also validated the Corporate Ethical Virtues (CEV) model used to study ethical organizational culture. More specifically, the research had four aims: 1) to test the factorial validity and group invariance of the 58-item CEV scale, 2) to examine the associations between ethical organizational culture and sickness absence at the individual and work unit levels, 3) to study the role of ethical organizational culture as an antecedent of managerial turnover, and 4) to examine the reasons managers gave for their turnover, and the associations between ethical culture …
Visual attention while solving the test of understanding graphs in kinematics: an eye-tracking analysis
2019
This study used eye-tracking to capture students' visual attention while taking a test of understanding graphs in kinematics (TUG-K). A total of N = 115 upper-secondary-level students from Germany and Switzerland took the 26-item multiple-choice instrument after learning about kinematics graphs in the regular classroom. Besides choosing the correct alternative among research-based distractors, the students were required to judge their response confidence for each question. The items were presented sequentially on a computer screen equipped with a remote eye tracker, resulting in a set of approx. 3000 paired responses (accuracy and confidence) and about 40 h of eye-movement data (approx. 500…
Capturing the Severity and Impairment Associated With Depression: The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) Validation in a Spanis…
2019
Background: The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) is a self-report scale designed to evaluate the severity and functional impairment associated with depression. Objective: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the online version of the ODSIS in Spanish outpatients with depression and anxiety disorders. Method: Patients with a main diagnosis of a depressive (n = 283) or anxiety disorder (n = 191) and a mean age of 38.15 (SD = 12.06) were evaluated with a clinical diagnostic interview and measures assessing depression, anxiety, positive and negative affect, and quality of life. Factorial structure, internal consistency, convergent, and discriminant validit…
Statements About the Pervasiveness of Behavior Require Data About the Pervasiveness of Behavior
2020
Despite recent close attention to issues related to the reliability of psychological research (e.g., the replication crisis), issues of the validity of this research have not been considered to the same extent. This paper highlights an issue that calls into question the validity of the common research practice of studying samples of individuals, and using sample-based statistics to infer generalizations that are applied not only to the parent population, but to individuals. The lack of ergodicity in human data means that such generalizations are not justified. This problem is illustrated with respect to two common scenarios in psychological research that raise questions for the sorts of the…
