Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.8K
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.

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

403
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.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.8K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Rotter's Locus of Control01:14

Rotter's Locus of Control

371
Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.7K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Interval Level of Measurement00:55

Interval Level of Measurement

15.5K
For effective statistical analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Data measured using the interval scale are similar to ordinal level data because they have a definite arrangement. However, in the interval level of measurement, the differences between data values are meaningful even though the data does not have a starting point.
Temperature is measured using the interval scale. It is measurable data, and the difference between...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Implementation climate is crucial for adopting evidence-based practices in schools.
  • Teachers are key informants for assessing school implementation climate.
  • Existing measures needed adaptation for school settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the construct validity of the School Implementation Climate Scale (SICS).
  • To adapt and validate a measure of strategic implementation climate for schools.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analyses of data from 441 teachers in 52 schools.
  • Assessed factor structure (first-order and second-order hierarchical models).
  • Examined convergent and divergent validity through correlations with other school measures.

Main Results:

  • The SICS demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (αs > 0.80).
  • A hierarchical second-order factor structure with eight first-order factors best fit the data.
  • Correlations supported the SICS's convergent and divergent validity.

Conclusions:

  • The SICS is a psychometrically sound measure for assessing school implementation climate.
  • Findings support the SICS's use in implementation research and practice.
  • The SICS can inform efforts to improve the adoption of universal prevention programs.
