Artificial Intelligence Attitudes Inventory (Aiai)
With the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), it is vital to develop psychometrically sound measures of public attitudes toward this technology. The present study aimed to refine a pool of candidate items to create a concise yet robust inventory for assessing attitudes toward AI. A total of 96 items—drawn from reworded robot-related scales and newly developed items to reflect AI-specific themes—were administered to a sample of 604 …
Establishing the Cross‐Cultural Validity of the Immune Status Questionnaire Using Rasch Analysis
Reliable assessment of self‐reported immune function is essential for identifying at‐risk populations, monitoring public health interventions and informing global health strategies. Yet, current instruments are imprecise and lack cross‐cultural validity. This study aimed to assess the cross‐cultural validity of the 7‐item Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ). The Partial Credit Rasch model was applied to analyse responses to the ISQ ( N = 1250) from…
Examining the CRAFT program’s impact on student musicians’ well-being compared to controls
Consciousness, Relaxation, Attention, Fulfillment, and Transcendence (CRAFT) is a neuroeducational program for self-actualization, happiness, and well-being grounded in yoga, mindfulness, positive psychology, and emotional intelligence. The present study was devised to build on preliminary CRAFT research by examining the effectiveness of CRAFT to enhance tertiary students’ physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Accordingly, tertiary s…
An exploratory study of the mental health and emotional challenges of women inside Ghanaian witches’ camps
For years, older women accused of witchcraft have been persecuted and forced into sanctuaries known as witch camps. This highlights a lack of public policies and social support for older women facing disabilities, aging, and dementia. Labelling them as witches and isolating them from their families and familiar surroundings profoundly impacts their emotional well-being. However, little is known about the mental health of older women in witch camp…

What do Members of Parliament in India Think of Robots? Validation of the Frankenstein Syndrome Questionnaire and Comparison with Other Population Groups
India is the second largest country in the world in terms of population and thus a considerable market for potential future robot applications as well as a location for manufacturing and production. While work has started to explore attitudes towards robots, very little is known about the perceptions of robots in India, particularly of political leaders who have the ability to effect rapid change. The present study administered the 30-item Franke…
Investigating Predictors of Psychological Distress for Healthcare Workers in a Major Saudi Covid-19 Center
This study investigated the relationship between fear of COVID-19, previous exposure to COVID-19, perceived vulnerability to disease, sleep quality, and psychological distress among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Taif city in Saudi Arabia, which has a population of 702,000 people. A cross-sectional study design was adopted. HCWs ( n = 202) completed a survey containing the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Perceived Vulnerability to Disease (PVD), …

Rasch analysis and ordinal-to-interval conversion tables for the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale
This study conducted Rasch analysis of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale using responses of 400 participants to produce ordinal-to-interval conversion algorithms not available to date. Minor modifications such as removing the non-fitting item 5 and combining subscales items into super-items were necessary to achieve the best model fit ( χ2(15) = 20.28, p = 0.16). The results support internal validity of the modified 20-item Depression, Anx…

Rasch analysis of the Perceived Stress Scale
Rasch analysis was conducted to enhance the precision of the widely used 10-item Perceived Stress Scale using two datasets ( n = 450 each) randomly selected from samples of the New Zealand general population ( n = 1102), New Zealand university students ( n = 479) and US university students ( n = 396). The best Rasch model fit ( χ2(27) = 29.92, p = .36), good person separation reliability (.80) and coverage (98%) of the sample by the scale items w…
Improving Measurement of Trait Competitiveness
Measuring competitiveness is necessary to fully understand variables affecting student learning. The 14-item Revised Competitiveness Index has become a widely used measure to assess trait competitiveness. The current study reports on a Rasch analysis to investigate the psychometric properties of the Revised Competitiveness Index and to improve its precision for international comparisons. Students were recruited from medical studies at a universit…
Exploring health‐related quality of life determinants of New Zealand sole mothers
International research has repeatedly linked sole motherhood to diminished levels of psychological and physical health. The purpose of the present study was to add to the limited amount of research on the health‐related quality of life determinants in sole mothers, particularly in New Zealand. A sample of 263 New Zealand sole mothers recruited through a number of parent or women's networking groups completed a questionnaire on health‐related qual…
Identifying Diverse Conservation Values for Place-Based Spatial Planning Using Crowdsourced Voluntary Geographic Information
The values of conservationists and planners will affect their decisions, tools, and practice, while the values of the public will affect the social acceptability of different management actions and, consequently, the likely success of implementation. This study investigates how voluntary geographic information systems (VGI) can be used to identify areas important for anthropocentric and biocentric values across a spatial planning region to inform…

Lexical expansion and terminological planning in indigenous and planned languages
The development of terminology features heavily in language planning, and here the differences between planned and ethnic languages are much less pronounced. This is especially the case in languages with smaller numbers of speakers, or in indigenous and endangered languages such as Te Reo Māori of Aotearoa New Zealand that rely on language planning for their survival, and where conscious terminology planning is therefore commonplace. The present …

Quality of Life of Community-Dwelling Retirement-Aged New Zealanders
Previous research highlighted the beneficial effects of volunteering, income and employment, and religiousness in older adults, but not the interrelationships between these variables and their effects on quality of life. In the present study, 399 community-dwelling retirement-aged New Zealanders completed the WHOQOL-BREF quality of life questionnaire and questions about their volunteering and employment activities. Path-analysis models tested the…
Religion/spirituality and quality of life of international tertiary students in New Zealand
Previous research links religion/spirituality to beneficial health outcomes, but the majority of these studies used samples from populations with long-term illness or older people. The present study explored whether the links between religion/spirituality and quality of life can be observed in a sample of younger adults, and also whether religion/spirituality could function as a coping mechanism in international tertiary students who are often su…
A Systematic Review of Studies Using the Brief Cope
Religion is generally recognized as a major resource for dealing with stressful events, but its relationship with secular coping strategies continues to be debated. The present article provides a systematic review of the way in which analyses of the sub-scale turning to religion of the widely used Brief COPE [1] instrument are presented in peer-reviewed research articles, in order to investigate how the wealth of data published using this instrum…
How Religious Coping is Used Relative to Other Coping Strategies Depends on the Individual’s Level of Religiosity and Spirituality
Stress and quality of life in international and domestic university students
Studying overseas entails a number of transitions and challenges, and the present study investigated the strategies international university students use to cope with stressors. Previous research suggests that international students may be more likely than domestic students to draw on religion/spirituality as a source of dealing with stress, but the direct links between stress, religious coping and quality of life are yet to be documented explici…
