Gotta Watch My Back or Something”
Relationships between financial, cultural, emotional, and general wellbeing
The impacts of cultural engagement on individuals’ health and wellbeing have been well documented. Researchers have highlighted positive effects on various psychological, physiological, and social outcomes as a result of participation in cultural events such as attending concerts, theater, museums, and art exhibits. The purposes of this study were to create an instrument to measure wellbeing constructs (e.g., cultural, emotional, social, physical…
C’mon—You Should Know the Rules, Man
We draw on procedural justice, Latino Critical Legal Theory, and intersectional theoretical approaches to study how repeated punishments impact Latinx youth. In this qualitative study, we explore the effect of repeated school punishment on young people, referred to as the Chronically Punished . Data revealed that chronically punished , system-impacted youth expressed a range of perceptions regarding expulsions, suspensions, and fairness of punish…
Recovery Accuracy of Measurement Model and Structural Coefficients of Extended Bifactor-( S -1) and ( S·I -1) Models
Bifactor-(S-1) and (S·I-1) models represent general factor measurement models intended to overcome anomalous results associated with bifactor models. Research has centered on model utility using real data, with little consideration of conditions associated with parameter recovery accuracy. Thus, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding performance of these models under known conditions. This simulation study investigated the parameter reco…
Using exploratory structural equation modeling to examine and validate the psychometric properties of Multidimensional Prayer instruments in new and diverse groups
This study demonstrates exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), a factor analytic approach, as a method to examine the psychometric properties of multidimensional prayer instruments, many of which were developed on homogenous samples. As psychology of religions scholarship expands to more diverse populations, existing measures must be re-validated with up-to-date statistical methods and more diverse samples. The current study showcases E…
Student, Neighborhood, and School Factors and Their Association With College Readiness
In response to the Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) reconfigured the district’s race-based student assignment and implemented a race- and socioeconomic-based student assignment plan. Using hierarchical linear multiple regression, this study examined students’ backgrounds and school composition factors within a race- and socioeconomic-based assignment plan to determine t…
Experiences of Central California Latino Male Youth
This study examined the community and schooling experiences of Latino male youth (ages 14–24) in the California Central Valley. Seven semi-structured focus groups (n = 35) were conducted with Latino youth regarding how factors related to health, safety, and education affected their lives. Latino Critical Theory was used as a framework to explain how the disparities described by Latino youth are part of larger social and academic inequalities. Fin…
A Test and Cross-Validation of the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire Factor Structure Among Western University Students
The Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) is a measure of university students’ approach to learning. Original evaluation of the scale’s psychometric properties was based on a sample of Hong Kong university students’ scores. The purpose of this study was to test and cross-validate the R-SPQ-2F factor structure, based on separate cohort data (Cohort 1: n = 1,490; Cohort 2: n = 1,533), among students attending a university in the…
Factor Structure Invariance of the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test Across Male and Female Samples
Multisample confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) and latent mean structures analysis (LMS) were used to test measurement invariance and latent mean differences on the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence ScaleTM (KAIT) across males and females in the standardization sample. MCFA found that the parameters of the KAIT two-factor model were invariant across groups. A follow-up LMS found intercept differences on the Memory for Block Designs, Famo…
Item Parameter Invariance of the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test Across Male and Female Samples
The Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAITTM) is an individually administered test of intelligence for individuals ranging in age from 11 to 85+ years. The item response theory—likelihood ratio procedure, based on the two-parameter logistic model, was used to detect differential item functioning (DIF) in the KAIT across males and females in the standardization sample. Root mean squared differences and item parameter differences were…
Dimensionality Assessment Using the Full-Information Item Bifactor Analysis for Graded Response Data
Dimensionality assessment using the full-information item bifactor model for graded response data is provided. The model applies to data in which each item relates to a general factor and one group factor. Specifically, alternative model specification within item response theory (IRT) is shown to test a scale's factor structure. For illustrative purposes, the bifactor model and competing IRT models were fit to the data of separate cohorts of inco…
