Without Critical Consciousness, How Could you Move on?” Qualitative Assessments of an Intervention to Reduce Substance Use Among Formerly Incarcerated Men
Background People with a history of substance use disorder who live in marginalized communities (e.g., large minoritized populations, low income, high crime rates) endure disproportionately high incarceration rates, premature death, and infectious disease incidence. Individuals released from incarceration often return to marginalized communities burdened by socially and structurally determined health inequities. Interventions grounded in critical…
Promoting radical healing to facilitate community capacity building among formerly incarcerated Black and Latino men with substance use disorders
This study reports on a qualitative thematic analysis of secondary data from group session recordings collected as part of the Community Wise Optimization Trial. Community Wise is a multilevel behavioral intervention designed to increase critical consciousness and reduce substance use among formerly incarcerated men living in predominantly Black and historically disinvested communities (BHDC). Radical healing is a process of recovering from the t…
Impact of Racial Bias on Providers' Empathic Communication Behaviors with Women of Color in Postpartum Checkup
Appreciating the Complexity of Local Gender-Based Violence Needs Assessments: Some Key Considerations and Tensions in Context
Needs assessments can be a pragmatic method to shape interventions addressing gender-based violence. They are complex endeavors even—or especially—at the local level (e.g., rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters). Focusing on the US context, we highlight examples of the ways needs assessments can support the gender-based violence movement, and key tensions and considerations within needs assessment practice. We explore decisions that pra…
Gender and cultural differences in school motivation
The purpose of this research was to explore gender differences and cultural differences in school motivation among students from eight culturally diverse groups from Western and non-Western societies. The selected groups come from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia, the Netherlands, and Qatar. More than 10,000 secondary school students reported their mastery, performance, social, and extrinsic motivation. Results showed (very) small…
A cross-cultural analysis of achievement and social goals among Chinese and Filipino students
Competitiveness is not that bad…at least in the East: Testing the hierarchical model of achievement motivation in the Asian setting
Socializing” Achievement Goal Theory: The Need for Social Goals
Cross-Cultural Validation of the Inventory of School Motivation (ISM) in the Asian Setting: Hong Kong and the Philippines
Students' achievement goals in school have received increasing research attention because they have been shown to be important in predicting important outcomes. As such, there has been a growing interest in measuring and comparing them across different cultural groups. However, these comparisons cannot be made until validity evidence has been attained to support the use of an instrument in the new cultural setting. In this study, we investigated …

Religion and Forgiveness from a Hong Kong Chinese Perspective
From beginning teacher education to professional teaching: A study of the thinking of Hong Kong primary science teachers
The Issue Of Measurement Invariance Revisited
The purposes of this study were twofold: (a) based on the analysis of covariance structures, to test for the equivalence of a well-known measuring instrument across two culturally diverse groups and (b) provided with findings of nonequivalent items, to identify possible determinants of their noninvariance; post hoc investigations included tests for evidence of item bias using an ANOVA-based approach and examination of graphical displays of item r…
Identifying and assessing the conceptions of teaching of secondary school physics teachers in China
Background. Recent research indicates that how lecturers think about the nature of teaching influences both the way they teach and the way their students learn and ultimately the learning outcomes they achieve. Such research has primarily been conducted at the tertiary level in Western countries and its relevance for school teaching and in non-Western contexts has yet to be demonstrated. Aims. Study 1 aimed to develop a model of the conceptions o…
Independent and Interdependent Conceptions of Self: An Investigation of Age, Gender, and Culture Differences in Importance and Satisfaction Ratings
Measures of the importance of and self-satisfaction with the independent and interdependent self were used to test age, gender, and culture differences in the nature of self-conception. The participants were 903 first or second-year college undergraduates and 936 middle-class adults from four countries differing markedly in religious, political, and cultural dimensions: Hong Kong, Iran, Russia, and the United States. In both college and adult sam…
The role of repetition in the processes of memorising and understanding: A comparison of the views of German and Chinese secondary school students in Hong Kong
Background. Previous research has found that students and teachers in countries of the Far East often see memorisation and understanding as working together to produce higher quality outcomes. In contrast, in the West it is more common to associate memorising with 'surface' and understanding with ' deep' approaches to learning. Aim. The main purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of the role of repetition in the process…
Assessing the Learning Processes of Mexican and Euro-American Students
Assessing the Learning Processes of Mexican and Euro-American Students
Analysis of the responses of 221 Mexican American and 473 Euro-American secondary school students to the Learning Process Questionnaire of Biggs showed that responses of both groups were of moderate reliability and supported the scale's within- and between-construct validity. However, the means indicated the presence of a response set which raises questions about the validity of cross-cultural comparisons of scores with these ethnic groups
Language of Response and the Spontaneous Self-Concept: A Test of the Cultural Accommodation Hypothesis
Responses to the Twenty Statements Test were obtained from 166 Filipino secondary school children asked to respond either in English or Cebuano, their local language. Contrary to the cultural accommodation hypothesis, the respondents did not provide more independent self-references in the English language condition. Examination of responses indicated that when responding in English, the participants, particularly the males, were influenced by the…
Affective variables, learning approaches and academic achievement: A causal modelling investigation with Hong Kong tertiary students
Background . Academic learning outcomes are believed to be influenced by a complex system that involves the interaction of student personality characteristics and learning processes. Yet to date there have been few studies, particularly in a non‐western culture, which have examined the interrelationships between these variables and their causal effects on achievement outcomes. Aims . This study aims to investigate the interrelationships of affect…
Self-Esteem and Hearing Impairment: An Investigation of Hong Kong Secondary School Students
A comparison was made of the self-esteem of 45 moderately-severe hearing impaired and 300 normal-hearing secondary school students in Hong Kong. Analysis indicated that the hearing impaired group, particularly the males, tended to report higher self-esteem in a number of dimensions of the self. The results provide no evidence that integration into the normal classroom has damaged the self-esteem of the hearing-impaired
Development and Validation of a Self-Concept Questionnaire for Hong Kong Chinese Adults Who Have Physical Disability
Previous research (Tam & Watkins, 1995) provided an understanding of the self-concepts of Hong Kong Chinese adults who have physical disability. Through constructing a hierarchical multidimensional self-concept model for the disabled population, a theoretical basis was established for the development of a questionnaire to measure their self-concepts. Subsequent efforts focused on validating this instrument, the Self-Concept Questionnaire for Phys…

Self-Concept and Social Acceptance in Multiracial African Schools: A Test of the Insulation, Subjective Culture, and Bicultural Competence Hypotheses
Self-concept and social acceptance were examined for a sample of 154 Black and 203 White Zimbabwean schoolchildren attending racially integrated schools. Marsh's Self-Description Question naire-1 and multiple measures of social acceptance were used. Although Black children had levels of global self-esteem compara ble with, or higher than, that of their White classmates, Black pupils taught by White teachers had significantly lower reading and aca…
The Twenty Statements Test: Some Measurement Issues
This research investigated the issue of the weighting and number of Twenty Statements Test (TST) responses with samples of 165 Hong Kong secondary school pupils and 100 Swedish and 100 Ethiopian university students. Responses were classified into idiocentric, large group, small group, and allocentric categories, and scores were weighted by the rank order of the response and 7, 10, or 20 items were considered. Analysis found that the rank and numb…

Culture, Gender, and Response Bias: An Analysis of Responses to the Self-Description Questionnaire
The possibility of culture and gender differences in response styles was explored. The responses of 1,717 participants aged 12-14 years from Australia, China, Nepal, Nigeria, and the Philippines to the Self-Description Questionnaire-I (SDQ-1) were analyzed for evidence of inconsistent responding, negativity or positivity bias, lack of profile variation, and social desirability. No evidence of a major social desirability factor but relatively subs…

Filipino Brides: Slaves or Marriage Partners
The phenomenon of the increasing number of Filipino girls marrying Australian men is described. The literature and some new data on the status and role of women in Filipino society and Filipino values and personality are then reviewed. It is concluded that Filipino brides are likely to be well educated, timid, modest, and family oriented. However, they may well have had little domestic experience and are unlikely to take kindly to being treated a…
The Learning Processes of Australian University Students: Investigations of Contextual and Personological Factors
Two studies are reported which investigate sex, faculty, and age (academic year) differences in the study methods of students at an Australian university. Significant main effects were found, but there was little evidence of any interactions. Correlations with grade point average indicated that success in Science-based faculties was related to using a deep-level approach to study relatively infrequently adopted by these students. It would seem th…

Approaches to Studying by Filipino Students: A Longitudinal Investigation
The responses of 212 male and 213 female Filipino students to the short version of Entwistle's Approaches to Studying Inventory (ASI-S), measures of self-esteem, locus of control, and field-independence were obtained at two testing sessions six months apart. A comparison of the factor structure of the responses to the ASI-S at both points in time confirmed the relative stability of the underlying dimensions. A multivariate analysis of variance in…
The structure of self-concept: Some Filipino evidence
This paper examines the appropriateness for Filipino students of the Self Description Questionnaire (SDQ; Marsh 1986) and the Shavelson model of self-concept on which it is based. The Filipino concept of self is first considered. Then the results of an administration of the SDQ to 194 Manila public high-school students are reported. The item-total correlations and reliability coefficients obtained were encouraging. Factor analysis generally suppo…
Australian and Filipino Investigations of the Internal Structure of Biggs' New Study Process Questionnaire
The internal structure of the new Study Process Questionnaire (Biggs, 1979) was investigated with samples of 255 Australian and 173 Filipino university students. The internal consistency reliabilities, item and subscale factor analyses were quite favourable for the Australian sample, supporting Biggs' model of the study process complex. However, the low to moderate reliabilities and failure of factor analysis to support Biggs' model indicates tha…

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…
The Internal Structure of the Self Description Questionnaire: A Nigerian Investigation
This paper examines the appropriateness for Nigerian students of the Self Description Questionnaire - 1 (SDQ-1; Marsh, 1988) and the Shavelson model of self-concept on which it is based. The results of an administration of the SDQ-1 to 462 Nigerian 12-13 year-olds are reported. The item scale correlations and reliability coefficients obtained were encouraging. Factor analysis generally supported both the specific facets of the SDQ-1 and the exist…
Self-esteem and causal attribution of achievement: A filipino investigation
Measures of self-esteem and attribution for future success or failure at a forthcoming examination were obtained for 241 Filipino university students. Analysis of variance indicated that the high self-esteem subjects were significantly more likely than the low self-esteem subjects to perceive their possible success as due to internal causes and to attribute possible success more to internal causes than they did possible failure. Low self-esteem s…
Gender and cultural differences in school motivation
The purpose of this research was to explore gender differences and cultural differences in school motivation among students from eight culturally diverse groups from Western and non-Western societies. The selected groups come from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia, the Netherlands, and Qatar. More than 10,000 secondary school students reported their mastery, performance, social, and extrinsic motivation. Results showed (very) small…

A factorial study of Eysenck and Eysenck's psychoticism, extroversion, and neuroticism scales
Eysenck and Eysenck (1968a, b) reported the results of a series of factorial studies designed to isolate a third dimension of personality, “psychoticism” (P), which was hypothesized to be independent of their two previously identified personality dimensions, extraversion (E) and neuroticism (N). Their main analysis, carried out on 106 carefully constructed items produced three factors identified as E, N, and P. They concluded that their data supp…

An Investigation of Adolescents' Attitudes to Aspects of Their School Life
The attitudes of 4,585 pupils in 27 New South Wales secondary schools to four aspects of school life (school in general, choice of subjects, discipline, and uniforms) were examined in relation to sex, form, and type of school. Marked sex differences in attitudes were obtained, with the girls generally showing more favourable attitudes to school than the boys. Differences in attitudes between forms were found which suggested that pupils tend to re…
Student Withdrawal at the University of New England
Analysis of data relating to the rate of student withdrawal at the University of New England indicates that there has been a marked increase during the period 1971–1974. This is particularly true for males enrolled in science based faculties. The responses of 70 students to an open ended questionnaire suggest that their decisions to withdraw from UNE in 1974 were influenced by dissatisfaction with some aspects of tertiary life. It is suggested th…
Relationship between the Desire for Anonymity and Responses to a Questionnaire on Satisfaction with University
The responses of 363 students who supplied their names on a survey of attitude toward the university were compared to those of 61 respondents who chose to remain anonymous. Multivariate analysis of variance yielded no significant difference between the responses of the two groups
Stability of Self-Esteem of Filipino Girls
For 193 Filipino girls the test-retest reliability over a 9-mo. period of the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory was .61. Neither level of self-esteem nor field-dependence/independence was related to stability of self-esteem
Field Dependence and Self-Esteem in Filipino Girls
It has been suggested (5) that persons with low self-esteem do not possess a welldeveloped conceptual buffer for evaluating stimuli in the environment and that they therefore tend to conform passively to the influence of the prevailing field or context. In other terminology, the low self-esteem individual is field-dependent (4). There has been little empirical investigation of this claim. However, Pawelkiewicz and McIntire (3) did report higher s…
Changes in the Religious Practices and Beliefs of Students at an Australian University: 1965–1977
This paper compares the attitudes towards religious practice and belief of internal students at the University of New England in 1977 with those reported in the literature for their 1965 counterparts. A major shift away from religious practice but only a minor decrease in religious belief was found over this period. These results are compared with those of a British study and sex and denominational differences are discussed. A possible interpreta…
The Reliability and Validity of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory for a Sample of Filipino High School Girls
Evidence is presented partially supporting the reliability and construct validity of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory with Filipino girls. For a re-test sample of 193 Filipinas, 11-13 years of age, a test-retest coefficient of 0.61 was found over a nine month period. As predicted self-esteem scores were significantly associated with IQ scores and, in 4 out of 5 cases, with teacher ratings of pupils' self-esteem. However, the hypothesis that …
Intellective and Non-Intellective Predictors of Academic Achievement At a Filipino University
A follow-up study of 1,149 freshmen at a major Filipino university showed that intellective measures (National College Entrance Examination, Otis-Lennon Mental Abilities Test, and high school grade point average) were only moderately successful predictors of college grade point average. However, the nonintellective variables considered were (with the possible exception of level of scholastic expectation) of little value as predictors of college p…
An Investigation of the Internal Structure of the Biggs Study Process Questionnaire
Analysis of the responses of 562 Australian university students to the Biggs Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ) showed the scales to reflect only moderate internal consistency reliability and to lack uni dimensionality. However, factor analysis of the scales revealed a similar structure to that reported by Biggs (1978) and lent support to Biggs' proposed model of the study process complex
Self-esteem and causal attribution of achievement: A filipino investigation
Measures of self-esteem and attribution for future success or failure at a forthcoming examination were obtained for 241 Filipino university students. Analysis of variance indicated that the high self-esteem subjects were significantly more likely than the low self-esteem subjects to perceive their possible success as due to internal causes and to attribute possible success more to internal causes than they did possible failure. Low self-esteem s…
Field Independence as a Predictor of Filipino University Engineering Grades
The Hidden Figures Test (HFT) (Fitzgerald and Hunt, 1977) was found to correlate 0.32 with the grades of 186 first year engineering students at a Filipino university. When this measure of field independence was added to these students' National College Entrance Examination scores, a small but significant improvement in prediction of these grades was noted. It was suggested that quick, easily administered and scored, non-verbal group tests such as…
The Internal Structure and Predictive Validity of the Inventory of Learning Processes: Some Australian and Filipino Data
Investigations of the Inventory of Learning Processes with 255 Australian and 173 Filipino college freshmen revealed satisfactory internal consistency coefficients for two of the four ILP scales but cast doubt on the factor structure of the inventory. Yet, the ILP scales proved to be useful predictors of academic achievement for the Australian students
Antecedents of Personal Adequacy of Filipino College Students
Responses of 307 male and 842 female Filipino university students to the California Psychological Inventory were related to measures of sex, socioeconomic status, family size, quality of family relationships, intelligence, level of academic aspiration, and school achievement. A multiple R of 0.34 was found between personal adequacy as measured by the inventory and these antecedents. The main contributors to the prediction of personal adequacy wer…

Testing the Validity of a Model of Student Progress at an Australian University
An extension of Tinto's model of the college dropout process was proposed and tested with a sample of 332 freshmen at an Australian university. The college entrance examination was found to be a relatively valid predictor of whether students will pass, achieve honours, or strike trouble in the form of failure or withdrawal. Non-intellective factors were found to be lacking as valid predictors of academic progress. None of the potential predictors…
