Investigating the validity of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale in a Nepali student sample
This paper investigates the cross‐cultural validity of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. Two samples of university students were recruited: 504 from a Nepali university and 260 from a UK university. In relation to culture, structural equation modelling analyses provided support for the scale's configural invariance and the configural, metric, and scalar invariance of two if its subscales. Evidence for measurement invariance was also …
Deity and Destiny: Patterns of Fatalistic Thinking in Christian and Hindu Cultures
The current studies investigate whether different forms of fatalistic thinking follow from the Christian and Hindu cosmologies. The authors found that fatalistic interpretations of one's own life events center on deity influence for Christians, especially for those high in religiosity; however, Hindu interpretations of one's own life emphasized destiny as much as deity (Study 1). Also, the focus on fate over chance when explaining others' misfort…
Ontologies of knowledge, East and West - a comparison of the views of Swedish and Nepalese students
In the West, educational thinkers often criticize the view that knowledge exists ready-made "outside" the mind. This paper presents a phenomenographic study comparing differences in conceptions of the mode of existence of knowledge between Swedish and Nepalese university students. Students were interviewed by means of a riddle intended to elicit their conceptions of the mode of existence of knowledge. Comparing the notions of students from two di…
Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Revised Causal Dimension Scale: A Nepalese Investigation
The Causal Dimension Scale-II is conceptually important for research on attributions as it taps directly the subjects' own views of the dimensions underlying their causal ascriptions. However, this research based on the responses of 120 Nepalese tertiary students to the Causal Dimension Scale-II for both success and failure outcomes indicates that the internal consistency reliability of the External Control scale is of doubtful adequacy and that …
Culture and Gender Differences in the Self-Esteem of College Students: A Four-Country Comparison
The responses of 268 Hong Kong and 399 Nigerian first- or second-year social science undergraduate university students to the Personal and Academic Self-Concept Inventory (PASCI; Fleming & Whalen, 1990) were compared to previously reported findings with similar groups of American and Nepalese students. Country × Gender analyses indicated clear, statistically significant mnain and interaction effects which varied according to the area of self-este…
Within-Culture and Gender Differences in Self-Concept: An Investigation with Rural and Urban Nepalese School Children
Open-ended self-descriptions were provided by 301 urban and 251 rural Nepalese secondary school children. The responses were coded according to whether they were "large group" collectivist, "small group" collectivist, or individualist and evaluative or nonevaluative self-references. As predicted, the rural, less modernized group gave fewer individualist responses but, contrary to prediction, did not provide either more "small group" collectivist …
Toward the Cross-Cultural Validation of a Western Model of Student Approaches to Learning
The cross-cultural validity of the Approaches to Studying Inventory (ASI) was supported in an investigation of 302 first-year undergraduates enrolled at a Nepalese university. Evidence of a meaningful learning process model underlying ASI responses was found. As predicted, self-esteem correlated significancy with a more versatile approach to learning. Differences were found between the responses of Australian and Nepalese students to the ASI, but…
Assessing Approaches to Learning in Non-western Cultures: A Nepalese conceptual validity study
The focus of this research was a conceptual analysis of the network of constructs thought to surround students ' approaches to and conceptions of learning. The subjects were 45 Nepalese Master 's students. Analysis of in-depth interviews indicated that few of these students had beyond a very low level of insight into their learning processes, typically utilised superficial surface learning strategies, and achieved low-level learning outcomes. The…
The Structure of Self-Esteem of Nepalese Children
Confirmatory factor analysis of responses to items of a Western self-esteem instrument by 398 15- or 16-yr.-old Nepalese youth supports a single general factor rather than a multidimensional model of the self
Attitudes toward Cancer: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Nepalese and U.S. Students
The Cancer Metaphors Test, a measure designed to assess the imagery of cancer, was administered to samples of Nepalese (n = 228) and U.S. (n = 184) graduate students. For both samples, no significant age, gender, or field of study differences were obtained, but Nepalese students scored higher than U.S. students on both Terminal Pessimism and Future Optimism. Within each sample, scores on pessimism were higher than scores on optimism. An analysis …
Significant Others of Rural and Urban Nepalese Children
The significant others of 641 Nepalese secondary school children are reported according to gender and school grade level and location (rural or urban). Unlike findings from other cultures ‘father’ was of similar salience to ‘mother’, and ‘teacher’ was of importance to about half the sample. These trends were stronger in the rural areas where traditional Hindu values are strongest
