Prioritising creativity at the heart of the curriculum
Multicultural Experience, Creativity, and the Missing Link
Creativity is increasingly recognized as an essential skill for higher education to prepare students for the workplace. As the world is becoming increasingly globalized with international trades, study abroad programs, and communication technologies, higher education faces the challenge of enhancing creativity skills while making sense of individuals' multicultural experiences (MCEs). Previous studies have highlighted the roles of both MCE and em…
Beauty against tobacco control
The evolved development niche
Escaping the impulse to immediate gratification
People's willingness to postpone receiving an immediate reward in order to gain additional benefits in the future, that is, a tendency to shallow delay discounting, is closely related to one's health, wealth, and happiness. We conducted two experiments investigating how the prospect concept can induce a future-oriented mindset and induce people to behave accordingly. We found that engaging in prospective imagery led the participants to focus on d…
Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the School Bullying Scales
The study aims to develop three school bullying scales—the Bully Scale, the Victim Scale, and the Witness Scale—to assess secondary school students’ bullying behaviors, including physical bullying, verbal bullying, relational bullying, and cyber bullying. The items of the three scales were developed from viewpoints of bullies, victims, and witnesses. Two samples of Taiwanese secondary students participated in the test development, one for item re…
Multidimensional Rasch Analysis of a Psychological Test With Multiple Subtests
Educational and psychological tests are often composed of multiple short subtests, each measuring a distinct latent trait. Unfortunately, short subtests suffer from low measurement precision, which makes the bandwidth—fidelity dilemma inevitable. In this study, the authors demonstrate how a multidimensional Rasch analysis can be employed to take into account the information about the correlation between latent traits such that the precision of ea…
Local Item Dependence for Items Across Tests Connected by Common Stimuli
A parallel design, in which items across different scales within an instrument share common stimuli and subjects respond to the common stimulus for each scale, is sometimes used in questionnaires or inventories. Because the items across scales share the same stimuli, the assumption of local item independence may not hold, thereby violating the assumption of local item independence under standard psychometric models. In this study, the authors des…
