Exploring a General Construct underlying Quality of Life and Well-Being with Bifactor Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
Numerous studies have examined the tripartite model of mental well-being, which comprises subjective, psychological, and social well-being. However, few studies have investigated the overlap of these constructs with quality of life despite considerable overlap at face value. Looking through a quality of life lens, Skevington and Böhnke (2018) identified a general life quality and well-being factor people use when evaluating their overall well-bei…
Measuring Readiness and Success at a Higher Education Institution
This study investigated readiness as a correlate of academic success among beginning university students. A total of 829 first-time entering students from a large business sciences faculty were participants (males = 319, females = 510, mean age = 19, SD = 0.50 years). They completed the Academic Readiness Questionnaire (Lemmens, 2010) during the first-year orientation week. Data on academic success, consisting of subject marks and credits were co…
The Relationship Between Hope And Goal Achievement
The aim of this study was to explore the psychological resource structure of students as assessed by the Hope Orientation Measure or HOME instrument. The aim was also to find what the relationship between this resource structure and goal achievement is. The HOME has five separate dimensions, namely, (a) Goal Achievement Resources, (b) Ineffectually, (c) Future Vision, (d) Despondency and (e) Agency. Along with two other tests focusing on goals an…
Constructing a South African Hope Measure
An instrument to assess levels of hope was developed. From a qualitative analysis of what students regarded as hope, items were constructed and a questionnaire was applied to 474 undergraduate social sciences students. The results were calibrated across gender and ethnic groups using item response theory, specifically Rasch analysis. Five unidimensional constructs were identified (goal achievement resources, ineffectuality, future vision, despond…
A Review of South African Research in the Field of Dynamic Assessment
Dynamic assessment, and in particular the learning potential approach, are receiving increasing attention from educators and research practitioners worldwide. This article reports on the status of dynamic assessment in South Africa, with particular reference to its use in higher education. A review of local studies and an informal survey of 36 institutions revealed that it is widely recognised that fair selection of students from a variety of dif…
Change Detection in a Change Blindness Flicker Paradigm
This study explored trends in change detection within the change blindness (CB) flicker paradigm. A sample comprising 92 university students was tested for speed in change detection. A number of alternating photographic scenes with and without changes in objects were shown in a computer laboratory. There were significant differences between males and females for central and marginal interest changes on different change types, which included chang…
