Unveiling the Fluid Impact of Self‐Concept and Self‐Efficacy Upon English Achievement: A Perspective of the Island Ridge Curve

European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Self‐concept and self‐efficacy have received much attention from second/foreign language (L2) researchers. However, very few studies have empirically deciphered their similarities and distinctions. Even fewer have investigated how their contributions to L2 achievement vary across L2 proficiency levels.

Rasch Analysis and Interval‐Level Scaling of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) Across Cultures

International Journal of Psychology, Volume 61, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Affective state investigation requires precise measurement that satisfies parametric statistical assumptions for reliable and valid cross‐data comparisons. The psychometric properties of the 20‐item Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are satisfactory, but provide scores on an ordinal scale, which could be unsuitable for parametric ...

Competing Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models in Management Research: Bifactor Modeling of the Employee Work Assessment Tool

Management Dynamics in the Knowledge Economy
Management researchers often use structural equation modeling to analyze data from questionnaire-based instruments. Usually, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is applied to confirm the hypothesized or theorized factor structure of the instrument.

Augmented bifactor models and bifactor-(S-1) models are identical. A comment on Zhang, Luo, Zhang, Sun & Zhang (2023)

Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal
In a recent study, Zhang, Luo, Zhang, Sun, and Zhang (2023) proposed the augmented oblique bifactor model as a new methodological contribution, in which an oblique bifactor model is augmented by one or more indicator(s). Zhang et al. (2023) argued that the augmented oblique bifactor model is superior to existing bifactor modeling approaches.

Riskier Tests of the Validity of Bifactor Models of Psychopathology

, 2019
We advanced several “riskier tests” of the validity of bifactor models of psychopathology, which included that the general and specific factors should be reliable and well-represented by their indicators, and that including a general factor should improve the correlated factor model’s external validity.

Assumptions and Consequences of Different Conceptualizations of Personality Functioning

Personality and Mental Health, Volume 20, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Personality functioning (PF) is the defining criterion for personality disorder in contemporary diagnosis and a popular topic in research. However, research and dialogue on PF has been uneven and often ideologically driven, in part because semantic differences are often conflated with substantive differences in the way PF is conceptualized ...

Why Do Bi-Factor Models Outperform Higher-Order g Factor Models? A Network Perspective

Journal of Intelligence
Bi-factor models of intelligence tend to outperform higher-order g factor models statistically. The literature provides the following rivalling explanations: (i) the bi-factor model represents or closely approximates the true underlying data-generating ...

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Ultra‐Short Version of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Australia

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 493-505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is the most widely used instrument to measure the subjective impact of oral conditions. This study reports the shortening and psychometric evaluation of an ultra‐short version (OHIP‐7A) from the OHIP‐14 in a large national Australian population.
