A Short Version of the Self Description Questionnaire II: Operationalizing Criteria for Short-Form Evaluation With New Applications of Confirmatory Factor Analyses.
Four studies evaluate the new Self Description Questionnaire II short-form (SDQII-S) that measures 11 dimensions of adolescent self-concept based on responses to 51 of the original 102 SDQII items and demonstrate new statistical strategies to operationalize guidelines for short-form evaluation proposed by G. T. Smith, D. M. McCarthy, and K. G. Anderson (2000). Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the factor structure based on…
Adventure Education and Outward Bound: Out-of-Class Experiences That Make a Lasting Difference
The purpose of this meta-analysis is to examine the effects of adventure programs on a diverse array of outcomes such as self concept, locus of control, and leadership. The meta-analysis was based on 1,728 effect sizes drawn from 151 unique samples from 96 studies, and the average effect size at the end of the programs was .34. In a remarkable contrast to most educational research, these short-term or immediate gains were followed by substantial …
Physical Self-Description Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties and a Miiltitrait-Meltimethod Analysis of Relations to Existing Instruments
Two samples of high school students ( n = 315 and n = 395) completed the new Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to demonstrate support for the 11 scales of physical self-concept (Strength, Body Fat, Activity, Endurance/Fitness, Sport Competence, Coordination, Health, Appearance, Flexibility, General Physical Self-Concept, and Self-Esteem) that the PSDQ is designed to measure, the replicabil…
A Test of Bipolar and Androgyny Perspectives of Masculinity and Femininity: The Effect of Participation in an Outward Bound Program
The purposes of the present investigation are to examine theoretical issues in androgyny theory by testing the effect of participation in the Outward Bound program on measures of masculinity (M) and femininity (F) Bipolar conceptualizations of MF posit that an increase in either M or F must lead to a decrease in the other, whereas androgyny theory posits M and F to be independent constructs Consistent with a priori predictions based on the nature…
Tennessee Self Concept Scale: Reliability, internal structure, and construct validity
The Multidimensionality of the Rotter I-E Scale and its Higher-order Structure: An Application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Rotter (1966, 1975) concluded that responses to his Internal-External (I-E) scale were unidimensional, or at least that one general factor explained most of the variance in the total score. The purpose of the present investigation is to examine the factorial structure of the original Rotter scale. A review of 20 published factor analyses indicated that the scale is not unidimensional, that not even two or three factors may be able to adequately e…
