Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

1.1K
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

396
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

925
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

1.2K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

14.4K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring

392
Self-monitoring is a central construct in understanding individual differences in self-presentation strategies across social contexts. It refers to how individuals observe, regulate, and control their expressive behavior and self-presentation following situational cues. Self-monitoring reflects a person's sensitivity to social appropriateness and willingness to adapt behavior to fit varying interpersonal demands.High vs. Low Self-Monitoring IndividualsIndividuals high in self-monitoring are...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) is a widely used tool to assess student learning strategies.
  • Two competing structural models exist for the revised LASSI: the skill, will, and self-regulation model, and the effort-related activities, goal orientation, and cognitive activities (ER-GO-CA) model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically evaluate and compare two competing structural models for the second edition of the LASSI.
  • To determine which model, the skill-will-self-regulation or the ER-GO-CA model, best fits the data from a sample of college students.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to analyze the subscale scores from the LASSI.
  • The study utilized data from a sample of 297 college students.

Main Results:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis provided empirical support for the three-factor correlated ER-GO-CA model.
  • The skill, will, and self-regulation model was not supported by the data in this sample.

Conclusions:

  • The ER-GO-CA model is a better fit for the revised LASSI in this college student sample.
  • These findings contribute to the psychometric validation of the LASSI and inform its interpretation in educational settings.
