Wherry Waters, Carrie; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
Results indicate that pre-flight students and college males of the same age range differ on several aspects of novelty and sensation seeking and that in both samples studied, the variables are relatively independent of measured ability and academic course performance. (Author/DEP)

Thompson, Bruce; Borrelo, Gloria M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
The structure and item performance of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was investigated using data from 39 college students. Factor analysis was applied to the items, factor adequacy and invariance coefficients were computed, and the appropriateness of the recommended item weights was examined. Results strongly supported the instrument's construct…

Tzeng, Oliver, C. S.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
This study analyzed the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS) scores from three subject groups (one clinical and two college samples). Five separate item pool arrangements were organized from the TSCS to assess its validity and related issues. The utility of the TSCS in applied settings is discussed. (Author/BS)

Centra, John A.; Linn, Robert L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
Student points of view in their ratings of courses and instructors were analyzed within three specific college courses and then generalized by analysis of a sample of responses from over 400 classes in five colleges. A factor analysis yielding three different student points of view is presented. (Author/JKS)

Hojat, Mohammadreza – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
The psychometric characteristics of the revised UCLA Loneliness Scale in Iranian groups correlated significantly with measures of other conceptually-related variables such as depression, anxiety, and neuroticism. Factorial structure supported the multidimensionality of the scale. (Author/PN)

Bessant, Kenneth C. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1997
This study reports on the development and psychometric properties of a new 87-item Mathematics Information Processing Scale that explores learning strategies, metacognitive problem-solving skills, and attentional deployment. Results with 340 college students support the use of the instrument, for which factor analysis identified five theoretically…

Gold, Yvonne; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses investigated the dimensionality of a modification of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The sample of 147 fifth-year college students in an elementary teacher training program demonstrated the multidimensional construct validity of the new instrument--the College Student Survey--within the theoretical…

Richardson, John T. E. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1995
Approaches to studying were investigated in 227 U.S. college students using a short form of the Approaches to Studying Inventory. The factor structure of responses differed from that previously obtained in the United Kingdom, suggesting that basic study orientations are interpreted in a manner distinct to each cultural context.

Geiger, Marshall A.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
A factor analysis was conducted of scores on the revised Learning Style Inventory of D. A. Kolb from 718 accounting students from 2 large state universities. Results support two bipolar learning dimensions different from those theorized and only one separate learning ability. Caution in interpreting scores is advised. (SLD)

Gruber, Christian P.; Carriuolo, Nancy – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1991
Three studies of construction and validity of a learner typology and an instructor typology based on the Canfield Learning Styles Inventory were conducted, using 851 male and 543 female community college students and 117 male and 120 female community college faculty members. The results provide support for both typologies. (SLD)

Tzeng, Oliver C. S.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1991
Measurement properties of two response formats (bipolar and unipolar ratings) in personality assessment were compared using data from 135 college students taking the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Factorial validity and construct validity of the MBTI were supported. Reasons why the bipolar method is preferable are discussed. (SLD)

Bowen, Craig W. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1999
Reports the development and score validation of an instrument for measuring anxieties students experience in college chemistry laboratories. Factor analysis of scores from 361 college students shows that the developed Chemistry Laboratory Anxiety Instrument measures five constructs. Results from a second sample of 598 students show that scores on…
