Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The Hungarian University Demands and Resources Questionnaire (UDRQ) shows reliable and valid measurement of student demands and resources. Its structure is invariant across genders and samples, confirming its suitability for Hungarian university students.
Area Of Science
- Psychological Assessment
- Educational Psychology
Background
- The University Demands and Resources Questionnaire (UDRQ) is a key tool for assessing student well-being.
- Understanding its psychometric properties in diverse populations is crucial for accurate assessment.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine the factor structure of the UDRQ in Hungarian university students.
- To assess the reliability and measurement invariance of the UDRQ across genders and samples.
Main Methods
- Factor analysis was used to compare first-order and second-order models of the UDRQ.
- Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and Composite Reliability.
- Measurement invariance was tested across gender and different student samples.
Main Results
- The first-order model provided a better fit for the UDRQ's factor structure.
- The UDRQ demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency reliability.
- The UDRQ measurement model exhibited strict invariance across genders and samples.
Conclusions
- The UDRQ is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing demands and resources among Hungarian university students.
- The findings support the use of the UDRQ for diverse student groups within Hungary.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
One-way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples of unequal sizes. However, calculations get complicated when sample sizes are not always the same. So, while performing ANOVA with unequal samples size, the following equation is used:
In the equation, n is the sample size, ͞x is the sample mean, x̿ is the combined mean for all the observations, k is the number of samples, and s2 is the variance of the sample. It should be noted that the subscript 'i'...
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...
One-Way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples with equal or unequal sample sizes. When one-way ANOVA is performed on two datasets with samples of equal sizes, it can be easily observed that the computed F statistic is highly sensitive to the sample mean.
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
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.
