This study assessed the construct validity of the circumplex model of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-C) in Norwegian clinical and nonclinical samples. Structure was examined by evaluating the fit of the circumplex model to data obtained by the IIP-C. Observer-rated personality disorder criteria (DSM-IV, Axis II) were used as external…

Cianciolo, Anna T.; Grigorenko, Elena L.; Jarvin, Linda; Gil, Guillermo; Drebot, Michael E.; Sternberg, Robert J. – Learning & Individual Differences, 2006
Practical intelligence as measured by tacit-knowledge inventories generally has shown a weak relation to other intelligence constructs. However, the use of assessments capturing specialized, job-related knowledge may obscure the generality of practical intelligence and its relation to general intelligence. This article presents three studies in…

Gillaspy, James Arthur, Jr. – 1996
This introduction to confirmatory factor analysis presents an overview of its basic concepts and processes. Conventional factor analysis can be described as set of analytic techniques designed to examine the covariance structure of a set of variables and to provide an explanation of the relationships among those variables in terms of a smaller…

Geurts, Hilde M.; Hartman, Catharina; Verte, Sylvie; Oosterlaan, Jaap; Roeyers, Herbert; Sergeant, Joseph A. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2009
Background: A number of disorders are associated with pragmatic difficulties. Instruments that can make subdivisions within the larger construct of pragmatics could be important tools for disentangling profiles of pragmatic difficulty in different disorders. The deficits underlying the observed pragmatic difficulties may be different for different…

Community coalitions (CCs) have labored with some difficulty to demonstrate empirical evidence of effectiveness in preventing a wide range of adolescent problem behaviors. Training and technical assistance (TA) have been identified as important elements in promoting improved functioning of CCs. A reliable, valid, and inexpensive method to assess…

Banfield, Sophie S.; McCabe, Marita P. – Adolescence, 2002
Evaluates the efficacy of a multidimensional model of body image that incorporated the dimensions of perception, affect, cognition, and behavior. Results did not support the hypothesized four-factor model, but rather a model that consisted of three factors. The results highlight the multidimensionality of the body image construct and the…

Benson, Jeri – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1998
Explores how a program of strong construct validation could be applied to the assessment of the construct of test anxiety, paying special attention to substantive, structural, and external aspects of construct validation. A framework is proposed to pull together various statistical methods used in construct validation research into an organized…

Jackson, Stacy L.; And Others – Journal of Career Assessment, 1996
Factor analysis of 1,030 adults' responses on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) were used to test 4 alternative models. Results support a four-factor structure similar to the original Jungian structure. Elimination of 12 MBTI items was recommended. (SK)

Longley, Susan L.; Watson, David; Noyes, Russell, Jr. – Psychological Assessment, 2005
Although hypochondriasis is associated with the costly use of unnecessary medical resources, this mental health problem remains largely neglected. A lack of clear conceptual models and valid measures has impeded accurate assessment and hindered progress. The Multidimensional Inventory of Hypochondriacal Traits (MIHT) addresses these deficiencies…

Attenweiler, William J.; Moore, DeWayne – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Goal orientation research has developed two branches. One branch uses a two-factor dispositional model. The other branch uses a three-factor domain-specific model. The present multiwave study examines dispositional goal orientation constructs through both two and three-factor models using repeated-measure confirmatory factor analysis. Results…

Huelsman, Timothy J.; Furr, R. Michael; Nemanick, Richard C., Jr. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2003
Examined the issue of construct validity of several existing measures of affect and their fit with the circumplex model. Analyses demonstrate that data collected using the four scales studied are characterized by generally good concurrent and discriminant validity. Data are in partial agreement with the proposed circumflex model of affect. (SLD)
