Acculturative stress and psychological distress during Covid-19, among racial-ethnic minority immigrants in the US
Guided by Berry's conceptualization of acculturative stress and Hovey's acculturative stress framework, this cross-sectional study examines the relationship between migratory acculturative stress and psychological distress among racial-ethnic minority US immigrants (n = 202). The multiple linear regression indicated that respondents reported moderate psychological distress, acculturative stress, social support, and COVID impact. Pre-migration and…
Evaluating the Psychometric Properties of a Measure of Ethnic Identity Among Black South African Youth
1.22; 51% female). Further analyses revealed that configural and metric models were excellent across the four South African ethnic groups and the African American group. However, scalar invariance (i.e., intercept) was not found; the item intercepts were different for the South African ethnic groups and African Americans. Findings are discussed with consideration for conducting research on ethnic identity among youth in South Africa
The Influence of Religious Participation on Sexual Activity in a Randomized Effectiveness Trial for Minority Youth
This study examined the influence of religious participation on the outcomes of a comprehensive sex education program for minority youth in Miami, FL. Data collection occurred at pretest and at 3-month and 6-month follow-up. A sample of teenagers was randomly selected from high schools, with a large majority of minority youth, and was assigned into treatment (n = 549) and control (n = 424) groups. Results indicated religious participation had som…
Measuring Sexual Risk for HIV
A Rasch Perspective
Measurement error is a common theme in classical measurement models used in testing and assessment. In classical measurement models, the definition of measurement error and the subsequent reliability coefficients differ on the basis of the test administration design. Internal consistency reliability specifies error due primarily to poor item sampling. Rater reliability indicates error due to inconsistency among raters. For estimates of test-retes…
An Application of Generalizability Theory and Many-Facet Rasch Measurement Using a Complex Problem-Solving Skills Assessment
This study describes the use of generalizability theory (GT) and many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM) to evaluate psychometric properties of responses obtained from an assessment designed to measure complex problem-solving skills. The assessment revolved around the school activity of kickball. The task required of each student was to decide on a team T-shirt based on visual characteristics of the T-shirts and written descriptions of other T-shirt …

Optimizing Rating Scales for Self-Efficacy (and Other) Research
This article (a) discusses the assumptions underlying the use of rating scales, (b) describes the use of information available within the context of Rasch measurement that may be useful for optimizing rating scales, and (c) demonstrates the process in two studies. Participants in the first study were 330 fourth- and fifth-grade students. Participants provided responses to the Index of Self-Efficacy for Writing. Based on category counts, average m…
A Study Strategies Self-Efficacy Instrument for Use with Community College Students
Theories of self-efficacy and self-regulation were used to examine scores from an instrument that measures self-efficacy for using self-regulatory study strategies. The authors investigated the dimensionality of responses to the Study Skills Self-Efficacy Scale using exploratory factor analysis and Rasch measurement. They also investigated the utility of the Rasch measures in differentiating between groups of students who report being academicall…
Factor Structure of the DSM-IV Criteria for College Students Using the Adult Behavior Checklist
This study evaluated the factor structure of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a sample of 1,503 college students
Assessing Student Perceptions of Affective Outcomes of Special Education Programs
The development of the 45-item likert-type response scale Student Survey for assessing the following five affective goals of Connecticut's Common Core of Learning is described: Academic Competence, Social Competence, Social Integration, Involvement in Educational Decision Making, and Consumer Satisfaction. Content validity literature-based and judgmental procedures are described; supportive evidence of construct validity is provided using a sampl…
