Psychometric Properties of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale With Australian Adolescent Girls
The psychometric properties of the Frost, Marten, Lahart, and Rosenblate Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (1990) are investigated to determine its usefulness as a measurement of perfectionism with Australian secondary school girls and to find empirical support for the existence of both healthy and unhealthy types of perfectionist students. Participants were 409 female mixed-ability students from Years 7 and 10 in two private secondary schools…
Path Analysis of a Theoretical Model to Describe the Relationship among Five Types of Musical Performance
Path analysis was used to test a model designed to encapsulate the flow of influences theorized to exist between five types of musical performance and four factors derived from a researcher-administered questionnaire. Results, using a sample of 101 high school wind instrumentalists, reveal major differences in the pattern of influences leading to the re-creative skill of performing a repertoire of rehearsed music for a formal music examination, c…
Dimensions of School Motivation
This article examines Maehr's Personal Investment Model of motivation, which has clear and significant implications for cross-cultural research in education. The design and validation of the Inventory of School Motivation (1SM) based on Personal Investment Theory is described. Evidence is presented for both the usefulness of the theoretical framework and the validity of the ISM in analyzing motivational variables for individuals from different cu…

Responses to the ISM from a total of 2152 Australian secondary students were subjected to principal axis factor analyses w…

A person's self-concept can be viewed as a store of self-perceptions; it consists of an…
