The psychological coping, learning potential and career preferences profiles of operational force military candidates
The aim of this study was to profile the psychological coping, learning potential and career-related interests of 251 candidates for operational force military selection for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) – 26 of whom were successful in the selection. Data on their sense of meaning, learning potential and career-related interest were gathered using standardised measures supplemented with open-ended responses. The data were analy…
Psychometric evaluation of the Basic Traits Inventory in the multilingual South African environment
The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the BTI for all the official language groups in South Africa. Item bias analysis was performed by means of Rasch analysis for a sample of 105 342 respondents with representation of each of the 11 language groups. Reliability values were good for all the language groups and bias was revealed in only 12 of the 193 items (6.2%) through item response modelling. Based on these …
Psychological Strengths as Predictors of Postgraduate Students' Academic Achievement
This study sought to predict students' Grade Point Average (GPA) from their personal sense of coherence, locus of control, hope and research self-efficacy. Participants were 429 postgraduate students at a large South African university (males = 86, females = 311, age range = 20 to 53, mean age = 30, SD = 6.77). They completed measures of sense of coherence, locus of control, hope orientation and research self-efficacy. Data were analysed using lo…
Initial Review of the Psychometric Properties of a Computerised Career Preference Test for Career Guidance Assessment
Psychometric proprties of the Career Preference Computerised Adaptive Test (CPCAT) (De Beer & Marais, 2010; De Beer, Marais, Maree, & Skrzypczak, 2008) are reported. Participants were high school students (n=343; males=279, females=164)at Grade 9 and Grade 11 level from a South African school district. Reliability and construct validity indices suggest the CPCAT could be of utility in the career counseling of high school students
A Modern Assessment Psychometric Approach to Dynamic Assessment
Although dynamic assessment (DA) has been hailed as a positive move towards fair assessment, it has generally not been used in educational or industry settings to the same extent that standard (static) tests have been. The present article attempts to elucidate how the use of Item Response Theory (IRT) and Computerised Adaptive Testing (CAT) can address some of the problems typically associated with dynamic assessment. An example of a DA tool that…
Longitudinal Predictive Validity of a Learning Potential Test
The aim of this article is to provide empirical psychometric evidence of the (longitudinal) predictive validity of a learning potential measure—the Learning Potential Computerised Adaptive Test (LPCAT)—in comparison with standard static tests with school aggregate results as the criterion measure. Participants were 79 boys (mean age 12.44, SD = 0.44) and 72 girls (mean age 11.18, SD = 0.42) attending two private schools. Correlation and regressio…
Salutogenic Profile of Police Trainees on Entry into the Profession
The study aimed to determine the salutogenic (wellbeing) profile of South African police trainees on entry into the profession. Participants were police trainees with an average age of 26 years enrolled for basic training in a police college. Sample sizes ranged between 275 and 499 depending on the questionnaire. The participants completed six questionnaires, namely Orientation to Life Questionnaire (Antonovsky, 1987) Locus of Control Inventory (…
Development of the Learning Potential Computerised Adaptive Test (Lpcat)
An overview of the development of a dynamic test for the measurement of learning potential — the Learning Potential Computerised Adaptive Test (LPCAT) — is provided. The test was developed in South Africa with a view to providing information on the present and potential future level of general non-verbal figurai reasoning ability for persons from different backgrounds in a way that is fair to all concerned. Multicultural samples were used in its …
