Rasch Analysis and Differential Item Functioning of the Time Management Questionnaire among University Students
Time management, crucial for success in personal, professional, and social life, is frequently assessed using scales, with the Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ) being a widely used tool. This study examines the psychometric properties of the TMQ using Item Response Theory. Specifically, the Rasch model is applied to estimate item and examinee parameters, while confirmatory factor analysis is used to confirm the scale’s factorial structure. The …
Examining Psychometric Properties of the Career Thoughts Inventory Among Omani Adolescents
The current study examined the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI (psychometric properties and its performance among a sample of 2366 adolescents; 1037 (45.4%) males and 1289 (54.5%) females. Item Response Theory (IRT) was applied to identify which CTI items proficiently contribute to a single proper measurement of CTI. IRT evaluates the amount of information for each item of the scale for each trait level on the trait dimension through the item info…

On the relationship between valence and arousal in samples across the globe
Affect is involved in many psychological phenomena, but a descriptive structure, long sought, has been elusive. Valence and arousal are fundamental, and a key question-the focus of the present study-is the relationship between them. Valence is sometimes thought to be independent of arousal, but, in some studies (representing too few societies in the world) arousal was found to vary with valence. One common finding is that arousal is lowest at neu…
A path analysis of effects of the career locus of control dimensions and career decision self-efficacy on career aspiration
This study examined the mediating role of career decision self-efficacy in the relationship between career locus of control and career aspiration. A 9-item Career Aspirations Scale, 31-items Career Locus of Control Scale, and 24-item Career Decision Self-Efficacy Short Form were administered to 2700 students from grades 10 to 11 studying in high schools. Path analysis results indicated that a positive direct effect of the internal locus of contro…
Can religiosity boost meaning in life and suppress stress for Muslim college students
The aim of this study was to predict the quality and meaning in life from the level of religiousness. Also, the two variables were used to predict stress and stress-related problems at family and personal levels. To achieve the objectives of the study, 344 Muslim college students from Oman responded to tailored questionnaire. The questionnaire encompassed three major subscales: religiousness, meaning in life and stress-related problems. Religious…
Development and Validation of a Short Version of the Parental Authority Questionnaire
A short version of Buri's (1991) 30-item Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), a widely used measure of Baumrind's (1971) model of authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles, has been developed in this study. The participants were 3,025 middle and high school students from Oman. The sample was randomly divided into 2 subsamples. The first sample ( N = 1,504) was used for the development of the short version, and the second sa…
