The Factor Structure and Internal Consistency of the Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory: What Face would you Wear? Preschool/Kindergarten Form
The Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory: What Face Would You Wear? Preschool/Kindergarten Form has the potential to be of use in measuring the academic self-concept of preschoolers. This study sought to determine if the theoretical, three-factor structure of the SCAMIN could be recovered in a state-wide sample of kindergarten students. In 1986, 5742 kindergarteners from Tennessee schools participating in the Reduced Pupil/Teacher Ratio Project …
Simplifying Ranking Tasks in Survey Research: A Method and Example
In many situations in survey research ranking objects or choices is desired. Ranking often presents many difficulties for respondents so data are incomplete. This paper demonstrates that use of paired comparisons may overcome many such difficulties. The paper also describes the simple computations involved in its use
On the Stability and Internal Consistency of the Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory: Preschool/Kindergarten Form
The purpose of this present study was to determine the internal consistency coefficients (alpha) and the stability (test-retest) of each of the scales of The Self-concept and Motivation Inventory: What Face Would You Wear? Preschool/Kindergarten Form. Such information is critical to either clinical interpretations or program evaluations whose outcomes are based on SCAMIN test scores. Present results suggest caution against both the clinical appli…
Factor Analysis (R-Technique) of Ipsatized Data May Be Misleading
Despite cautions in the literature against factor analyzing (R-technique) non-independent or ipsative data, several such studies have reported apparently meaningful results. This paper examines the results of factor analysis for six different sets of contrived data with known properties. Comparisons between the known factor structure and obtained results suggest that the number of factors initially extracted will be significantly under- or overes…
