The Convergence of the Results of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis in the Latent Structure of a Standardized Affective Measure
Open AccessWilliam B Michael, Patricia Bachelor et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1988
For a sample of 271 tenthand eleventh-grade students from middle-class families residing in a suburban setting, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out on a correlation matrix of 90 items and on a correlation matrix of 18 subtests, each consisting of five items. Both correlation matrixes were derived from an affective measure comprising six relatively homogeneous factor scales, each with 15 items. A comparison of the va…
The Factorial and Concurrent Validity of a Revised Form of the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey (Sams)
Open AccessJennifer S Nadson, William B Michael et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1988
For a total sample of 558 tenth-grade students evenly divided by sex and enrolled in a high school in a suburban middle-class community, two exploratory factor analyses of the intercorrelations of one set of 30 subtests and of another set of 18 subtests derived from a revised form of the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey (SAMS) were completed to obtain evidence concerning whether the six hypothesized constructs underlying the six factor scales c…
The Factorial Validity of the Study Attitudes and Methods Scale (Sams)
Open AccessWilliam B Michael, Barbara Denny et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1985
For a sample of 181 community college students, five subtests each of five items were assembled for each of the six 25-item scales of the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey (SAMS): Academic Interest—Love of Learning, Academic Drive—Conformity, Study Methods, Study Anxiety, Manipulation, and Alienation Toward Authority. A principal factors solution of the intercorrelations of the 30 assembled subtests resulted in five interpretable factors identif…
The Factorial Validity of the Dimensions of Self-Concept (Dosc) Measure for a Sample of Eighth-Grade Children and for One of Community College Adults
Open AccessWilliam B Michael, Im Kyu Kim et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1984
In this investigation attention was directed toward whether the five hypothesized constructs of Level of Aspiration, Anxiety, Academic Interest and Satisfaction, Leadership and Initiative, and Identification vs. Alienation that have been translated into five subscales of a secondary school version (Form S) of the Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC) scale, a measure of academic self-concept, could be identified for a college sample of adults as well…
The Development and Validation of a Preliminary Research Form of an Academic Self-Concept Measure for College Students
Open AccessWilliam B Michael, Barbara Denny et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1984
The development and construct validation of a preliminary research form of an academic self-concept measure for college students are described. Entitled Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC), Form H, this instrument has been anchored to a theoretical framework comprising five constructs, for each of which a factor subscale constitutes an operational definition. The statistical data arising from administration of both an initial form and a preliminary…
Student Background and Quality of Effort Correlates of Reported Grades, Opinions about College, and Perceptions of Magnitudes of Cognitive and Affective Attainment by Students in a Public Comprehensiv…
Open AccessJoan J Michael, Jennifer S Nadson et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1983
For a sample of 127 undergraduates at a major state university, an attempt was made to estimate the concurrent validity of Quality of Effort (QE) scales and background items from the College Student Experiences (CSE) questionnaire developed by Pace relative to criterion variables from the same CSE instrument that represented perceptions by students of grades earned to date and growth in selected cognitive and affective dimensions. In addition, th…
The Prediction of Academic Achievement in Graduate Study in Education
Open AccessJoan J Michael, Jennifer S Nadson et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1983
From a total group of 653 graduate students who had completed successfully one of several available master's degree programs in a professional school of education at a large state university in a major metropolitan area, various samples and subsamples differentiated by sex were formed depending upon the availability of scores for several standardized aptitude and achievement tests and the presence of undergraduate grades. Correlational analyses o…
The Factorial Validity of the Cornell Critical Thinking Test for a Junior High School Sample
Open AccessJoan J Michael, Roberta L Devaney et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1980
For a sample of 138 eighth and ninth grade students a principal factors solution of the intercorrelations among 71 items of the Cornell Critical Thinking Test (CCTT), Level X revealed five identifiable dimensions following a varimax rotation: (a) Relevance, (b) Irrelevance, (c) Differentiating Levels of Reliability of Observations or of Authorities, (d) Accuracy of Deduction, and (e) Determination of the Accuracy of an Assumption. Only the Accura…
The Predictive Validity of the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration Under Group and Individual Modes of Administration Relative to Academic Performance Measures of Second-Grade Pupils Withou…
Open AccessConnie June Curtis, Joan J Michael et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1979
For a sample of 70 second-grade pupils from a middle-class suburban community who exhibited no identifiable learning disabilities the two major objectives of this study were (1) to examine the comparability of as well as the degree of correlation between two distributions of age-equivalent scores obtained from a group and an individual administration of the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (DTVMI) (Beery and Buktenica, 1967) and (2)…
Further Development and Validation of a Self-Concept Measure Involving School-Related Activities
Open AccessWilliam B Michael, Robert A Smith et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1978
For each of two revised forms of the Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC) measure (E form for elementary school pupils in grades 4, 5, and 6, and S form for secondary school students in grades 7 through 12), statistical information is presented concerning the intercorrelations of each of five factor scales, the reliability and standard error of measurement of each scale, and the results of item analyses. Also included are a brief summary of data per…
The Predicton of Grade Point Average in the Graduate Program in a School of Education of a Large California State University
Open AccessCharles R Gustafson, Joan J MichaelARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1976
Both for a total sample of 251 graduate students and for each of two subsamples of 153 men and 98 women who had had at least 18 units of graduate work in professional education at a large campus of the California State University and College system, a criterion measure of grade point average (GPA-GRAD) was more accurately predicted from grade point average measures of undergraduate achievement than from part scores or total scores on the Undergra…
The Factorial Validity of the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale for Each of Three Samples of Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High School Students in a Large Metropolitan School District
Open AccessWilliam B Michael, Robert A Smith et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1975
For each of three samples of 299 elementary school pupils, 302 junior high school pupils, and 300 senior high school students in a large metropolitan school district, factor analyses of the intercorrelations of the responses to 80 items in The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale yielded three major dimensions that were essentially invariant across the three samples: (a) physical appearance, (b) socially unacceptable (bad) behavior, and (c)…
The Relationship of Achievement On a Teacher-Made Mathematics Test of Computational Skills To Two Ways of Recording Answers and To Two Workspace Arrangements
Open AccessGene W Majors, Joan J MichaelARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1975
The performance of one sample of 120 seventh-grade students and of one sample of 120 eighth-grade students on a 30-item teacher-made test of computational skills was related to (a) transcribing the item responses to numbered spaces in an answer column on a separate sheet vs. writing the item response on the test form itself and (b) providing workspace on the test form itself vs. not providing such space. From the use of a 2 × 2 quasi-experimental…
The Concurrent Validity of the Primary Self-Concept Scale for a Sample of Third-Grade Children
Open AccessJoan M Jensen, Joan J Michael et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1975
In addition to estimates of the reliability for the eight factor scales of the 24-item Primary Self-Concept Scale (PSCS) obtained from two administrations to a sample of 83 children in the third grade, concurrent validity coefficients of the eight scales were determined relative to the same eight factors on the Teacher Questionnaire (TQ) designed to reflect teachers' perceptions of children's behaviors in these eight factor categories. Scores on …
The Comparative Validities of Three Scoring Systems Applied to An Objective Achievement Examination in Chemistry
Open AccessRoy A Holmes, Joan J Michael et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1974
For a sample of 67 university students in an upper division course in organic chemistry for nonmajors, a probabilistic scoring method applied to a 72-item standardized multiple-choice examination in which each question was answered by every student yielded a validity coefficient at least equal to as well as an estimate of reliability higher than the corresponding indices associated with two traditional scoring formulas
