Summary
A new scale, the GO4KIDDS School Satisfaction Scale, reliably measures satisfaction for parents of children with developmental disabilities (DD). This brief tool is valuable for research on school experiences.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Special Education
Background:
- School experiences significantly impact children with developmental disabilities (DD) and their families.
- Existing measures of parental school satisfaction lack consistency and reliability.
- A need exists for a dependable tool to assess parental satisfaction with schooling for children with DD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and validate the GO4KIDDS School Satisfaction Scale.
- To provide a brief, psychometrically sound measure for research.
Main Methods:
- Parents (n=185) of children with moderate to severe DD completed a questionnaire including the GO4KIDDS School Satisfaction Scale.
- Psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, were assessed.
Main Results:
- The GO4KIDDS School Satisfaction Scale exhibited high internal consistency reliability (α = 0.93).
- The scale showed good item-total correlations.
- Strong correlations were observed with a single-item measure of school satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- The GO4KIDDS School Satisfaction Scale is a reliable and valid measure.
- The scale is a valuable tool for survey research on school satisfaction in parents of children with DD.

Hydronium and hydroxide ions are present both in pure water and in all aqueous solutions, and their concentrations are inversely proportional as determined by the ion product of water (Kw). The concentrations of these ions in a solution are often critical determinants of the solution’s properties and the chemical behaviors of its other solutes. Two different solutions can differ in their hydronium or hydroxide ion concentrations by a million, billion, or even trillion times. A common means of...

In designing and analyzing filters, resonant circuits, or circuit analysis at large, working with standard element values like 1 ohm, 1 henry, or 1 farad can be convenient before scaling these values to more realistic figures. This approach is widely utilized by not employing realistic element values in numerous examples and problems; it simplifies mastering circuit analysis through convenient component values. The complexity of calculations is thereby reduced, with the understanding that...

01:22Thermometers and Temperature Scales
7.6K
Any physical property that depends consistently and reproducibly on temperature can be used as the basis of a thermometer. For example, volume increases with temperature for most substances. This property is the basis for the common alcohol thermometer and the original mercury thermometers. Other properties used to measure temperature include electrical resistance, color, and the emission of infrared radiation.
As many physical properties depend on temperature, the variety of thermometers is...

The definition of temperature in terms of molecular motion suggests that there should be a lowest possible temperature, where the average kinetic energy of molecules is zero (or the minimum allowed by quantum mechanics). Experiments confirm the existence of such a temperature, called absolute zero. An absolute temperature scale is one whose zero point is absolute zero. Such scales are convenient in science because several physical quantities, such as the volume of an ideal gas, are directly...

02:06Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.
