  • A new look at Horn’s parallel analysis with ordinal variables.

    Luís Eduardo Garrido, Francisco J Abad et al.ARTICLEPsychological Methods2013

    Previous research evaluating the performance of Horn's parallel analysis (PA) factor retention method with ordinal variables has produced unexpected findings. Specifically, PA with Pearson correlations has performed as well as or better than PA with the more theoretically appropriate polychoric correlations. Seeking to clarify these findings, the current study employed a more comprehensive simulation study that included the systematic manipulatio…

  • Performance of Velicer’s Minimum Average Partial Factor Retention Method With Categorical Variables

    Open AccessLuís Eduardo Garrido, Francisco J Abad et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2011

    Despite strong evidence supporting the use of Velicer’s minimum average partial (MAP) method to establish the dimensionality of continuous variables, little is known about its performance with categorical data. Seeking to fill this void, the current study takes an in-depth look at the performance of the MAP procedure in the presence of ordinal-level measurement. Using Monte Carlo methods, seven factors related to the data (sample size, factor loa…

  • Measurement of Epistemological Beliefs

    Open AccessXavier Giovanni Ordóñez Camacho, Xavier G Ordoñez et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2009

    This article proposes a new test (called the EQEBI) for the measurement of epistemological beliefs, integrating and extending the Epistemological Questionnaire (EQ) and the Epistemic Beliefs Inventory (EBI). In Study 1, the two tests were translated and applied to a Spanish-speaking sample. A detailed dimensionality exploration, by means of the monotone homogeneity model and confirmatory factor analysis, provides unexpected dimensionality results…

  • An Investigation of Self-Adapted Testing in a Spanish High School Population

    Open AccessVicente Ponsoda, Steven L Wise et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1997

    This study, using Spanish high school students, compared four types of a computer-based English vocabulary test: (a) a self-adapted test (SAT), (b) a computerized adaptive test (CAT), (c) a conventional test of randomly selected items, and (d) a test that combined SAT and CAT (SCAT). No statistically significant differences were found among the test types for either estimated ability or posttest anxiety. Statistically significant differences were…

  • The Role of Positive and Negative Affect in Flashbulb Memory

    Open AccessDerek Anthony Scott, DEREK SCOTT et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1996

    All previous reports on the phenomenon of flashbulb memories relate to hearing of shocking (or "bad") news: in other words, that of negative affect. This study represents the first attempt to investigate whether those criteria used to define flashbulb memories would similarly apply to events of similar strength but of positive affect. 70 questionnaires were administered relating to 20 events over a 10-yr. period. No significant differences were f…

  • Adtest

    Open AccessVicente Ponsoda, Julio Olea et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1994

    This article describes an easy-to-use program for computer-adaptive testing. Two files have to be provided to use the program: the bank of items and the file containing their parameters. The program has been checked by simulation. Data on the accuracy of ability estimation are offered. Details on how to run the program and the format of both required files are also provided
