Efl Reading Anxiety Inventory (EFLRAI): Factorial Validity and Reliability
Zoghi, Masoud; Alivandivafa, Marziyeh
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v32 n4 p318-329 Jul 2014
This study was designed to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the English as a Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Inventory (EFLRAI). A total of 939 non-English major students responded to the EFLRAI. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed using a principal component analysis and structural equation modeling. Reliability analysis was also conducted to provide an indication of the internal consistency (reliability) of the measurement instrument. The findings of the study confirmed the adequacy of the three-factor model for the EFLRAI and also indicated decent reliability through internal consistency for the measure. The results not only support the EFLRAI's multidimensionality, but also indicate the usefulness of the EFLRAI in reading anxiety research among non-English major students. The limitations of the study are discussed and recommendations for further research are provided.
