Byrne, Barbara M.; Baron, Pierre – 1991
The aims of the present study were threefold: (1) to test for the equivalency of an hierarchical three-factor structure of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) across English and French versions for non-clinical adolescents; (2) given evidence of poor model fit, to validate the factorial structure of the BDI French version across three independent…

Self-Concept and Academic Achievement: Investigating Their Importance as Discriminators of Academic Track Membership in High School.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Byrne, Barbara M. – Canadian Journal of Education, 1990
Using linear discriminant analysis, two samples of Canadian high school students (n=929 and n=968) were tested using measures of self-concept, academic self-concept, and academic achievement. Academic self-concept was more effective than was academic achievement in differentiating between low-track and high-track students. (SLD)

Marsh, Herbert W.; Byrne, Barbara M. – 1992
An Australian study and a Canadian study evaluated the ability of significant others to infer multiple dimensions of self-concept of university students accurately. Subjects were 151 Australian and 941 Canadian university students. Four factor analyses (self- and other-responses by Australians and Canadians) all clearly identified the 13 factors…

Byrne, Barbara M.; And Others – 1991
Extending the earlier work of B. M. Byrne and P. Baron (1990), the factorial invariance of the 21-item Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was tested using 351 non-clinical adolescent males and 334 non-clinical adolescent females. All subjects were in grades 9 through 12 and attended the same secondary school in a large metropolitan area in central…

Do We See Ourselves as Others Infer: A Comparison of Self-Other Agreement on Multiple Dimensions of Self-Concept from Two Continents.

Marsh, Herbert W.; Byrne, Barbara M. – 1990
Self/other agreement between self-concept ratings by the individual and self-concepts inferred by significant others is of theoretical and practical importance, but the review by J. S. Shrauger and T. J. Schoeneman (1979) found no evidence for such agreement. In the present investigation, the Self Description Questionnaire III (SDQIII) was…

The Maslach Burnout Inventory: Validating Factorial Structure and Invariance across Intermediate, Secondary, and University Educators.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Byrne, Barbara M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1991
The factorial validity of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the equivalence of factorial measurements and structure across groups were studied for 163 intermediate-grade teachers, 162 secondary school teachers, and 218 university teachers in Canada. Reasons why the MBI may not be appropriate for university educators are discussed. (SLD)
