This study tested the four factor structure of the Driving Anger Expression Inventory (DAX) in a sample of young Malaysian drivers and the relationship these factors had with several other variables. Confirmatory Factor Analysis broadly supported the four factor solution of the DAX, being: Personal Physical Aggressive Expression, Use of a Vehicle to Express Anger, Verbal Aggressive Expression a...

Typically, when using existing scales, researchers conduct a confirmatory factor analysis and estimate reliability indices such as Cronbach alpha. Results are then used to select items that are subsequently incorporated in models. However, this process is inefficient as results from several studies consistently indicate that certain factors have low factor loadings. This study addressed this is...

For any such use of scale scores, there is a critical assumption that the scale is measuring the same trait in all of the groups. If that assumption holds, then comparisons and analyses of those scores are acceptable and yield meaningful interpretations. But if that assumption is not true, then such comparisons and analyses do not yield meaningful results. This is the general issue of (MI). mea...

The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) is a widely used selfreport instrument to measure student motivation and self-regulated learning strategies at the course-specific level (i.e. an individual course or subject domain). The present study sought to explore the utility of the MSLQ in measuring student motivation and selfregulated learning strategies at the general school le...

results the results show that the individual and demographic factor (idf), organizational factor (of), h & s training factor (tf), workplace-human factor (whf), factor related to type of accident occurrence (taf), h & s risk management system factor (rmsf), and accident time factor (atf) were considered to be effective and significant independent latent factors in occupational injuries. conclus...

There is no unified view about how teachers’ integration of information and communication technology (ICT) should be measured. While many instruments have focused on the technological aspects, recent studies have suggested teachers’ pedagogical considerations, professional development, and emerging ethical and safety issues should be included when assessing teachers’ ICT literacy. Using the per...

The main goal of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Perception of Parents Scale (POPS) developed by Robbins (1994), with a sample of middle-adolescents with ages between 14 and 18 years. The confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the reliability and validity of a three-dimension model of adolescents’ perception of mother and father based on perspective o...
