  • Personal Growth Initiative

    Open AccessIngrid K Weigold, Arne Weigold et al.ARTICLEJournal of Happiness Studies2024

    Personal growth initiative (PGI) refers to active and intentional participation in the growth process. PGI includes behavioral and cognitive skills and attitudes that are captured by four factors: Readiness for Change, Planfulness, Using Resources, and Intentional Behavior. There is substantial evidence supporting the positive relations between PGI and various domains of well-being. However, a lack of nuance regarding how the four facets of PGI d…

  • Translation and Validation of the Brief Inventory of Technology Self-Efficacy (Bits)

    Open AccessArne Weigold, Ingrid K Weigold et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2023References: 2

    Computer self-efficacy (CSE) continues to be an important construct in research and application. Two measures of CSE, the Brief Inventory of Technology Self-Efficacy (BITS) and the Brief Inventory of Technology Self-Efficacy – Short Form (BITS-SF) were recently developed to correct for issues in other available measures. The BITS and BITS-SF were originally written in English, and their psychometric properties assessed in samples from the United …

  • Translation and Validation of the German Personal Growth Initiative Scale – II

    Open AccessArne Weigold, Ingrid K Weigold et al.ARTICLEThe Counseling Psychologist2023References: 45

    Personal growth initiative (PGI) is an important predictor of well-being. In the current study, we translated the Personal Growth Initiative Scale–II (PGIS-II) into German and investigated its psychometric properties. Our sample consisted of 210 adults gathered from Germany’s Mechanical Turk. The German PGIS-II showed evidence of a bifactor structure, with the total score providing the best representation. Results also indicated measurement invar…

  • Traditional and Modern Convenience Samples

    Open AccessArne Weigold, Ingrid K WeigoldARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2021Cited by: 5References: 7

    Two of the most popular populations for convenience sampling used in the psychological sciences are college students and Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers. College students represent a traditional type of convenience sample, whereas MTurk workers provide a more modern source of data. However, little research has examined how these populations differ from each other in salient characteristics. Additionally, no research to date has investigated how M…

  • Completing Surveys With Different Item Formats

    Open AccessArne Weigold, Ingrid K Weigold et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2020References: 5

    Studies examining the similarity of online self-report survey responses using different item formats have yielded inconclusive results. Additionally, no studies have used appropriate methods for thoroughly and correctly examining equivalence across conditions. We examined the comparability of survey responses across four item formats—horizontal radio button, text box, drop-down menu, and vertical radio button—in two studies. The second study adde…

  • Response Rates for Surveys Completed With Paper-and-Pencil and Computers

    Open AccessArne Weigold, Ingrid K Weigold et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2018Cited by: 1References: 4

    The increasing number of self-report surveys being collected using computers has led to a body of literature examining the response rates for computerized surveys compared with the more traditional paper-and-pencil method. However, results from individual studies have been inconsistent, and the meta-analyses available on this topic have included studies from a restricted range of years and did not use proper statistical procedures for examining c…

  • Personal Growth Initiative in the Therapeutic Process

    Open AccessIngrid K Weigold, Rebecca A Boyle et al.ARTICLEThe Counseling Psychologist2018Cited by: 3References: 34

    Personal growth initiative (PGI), an individual’s active and intentional engagement in the growth process, was originally developed as a potentially useful construct in therapy. Although it has repeatedly been related to psychological well-being and distress, few studies have examined PGI in clinical samples. The current study investigated the role of PGI in a sample of 295 clients at a community-serving training clinic. Data were collected at tw…

  • Examination of the equivalence of self-report survey-based paper-and-pencil and internet data collection methods.

    Arne Weigold, Ingrid K Weigold et al.ARTICLEPsychological Methods2013

    Self-report survey-based data collection is increasingly carried out using the Internet, as opposed to the traditional paper-and-pencil method. However, previous research on the equivalence of these methods has yielded inconsistent findings. This may be due to methodological and statistical issues present in much of the literature, such as nonequivalent samples in different conditions due to recruitment, participant self-selection to conditions, …

  • Personal Growth Initiative

    Elena S Yakunina, Ingrid K Weigold et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives in…2013

    Personal growth initiative refers to the conscious pursuit of individual growth across multiple life domains. The construct was recently reconceptualized as a multidimensional trait and has attracted attention from researchers outside the United States. The present study sought to extend this literature by examining personal growth initiative in relation to international student adjustment and as a possible buffer of acculturative stress. We coll…

  • Who's the one in trouble? experimental evidence for a ‘psychic state’ bias in lineups

    Open AccessArne Weigold, Dirk WenturaARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2004References: 19

    In two experiments, a bias in lineups was examined, which has mostly been ignored in previous research. The psychic state of the suspects differs from the state of the fillers, in that they face a situation that can lead to personal loss (if they are identified) or relief (if they are not identified). This state might result in detectable behavioural cues, thus making the lineup unfair. Lineups were conducted with randomly chosen mock suspects wh…
