Exploring the Dimensional Structure of Bullying Victimization Among Primary and Lower-Secondary School Students: Is One Factor Enough, or Do We Need More?

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
In adolescence, bullying victimization is typically represented in terms of a three-fold factor structure reflecting three components of verbal, physical, and social victimization.

Implementing Argument‐Based Validity in Second Language Research on Individual Differences

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantitative meta‐syntheses focusing on the psychometric properties of measurement tools in second and foreign language (L2) individual differences (ID) research have drawn scholars' attention to the quality of data collection instruments (Plonsky & Derrick, 2016; Sudina, 2023).

The second language trait emotional intelligence (L2-TEI) scale and its relation to language engagement

open access: yesActa Psychologica
This study tested the psychometric properties and factorial validity of the language domain-specific trait emotional intelligence (L2-TEI) scale among 415 language learners and assessed its criterion validity in predicting language engagement.

Level‐specific reliability coefficients from the perspective of latent state‐trait theory

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing popularity of the ecological momentary assessment method in psychological research requires adequate statistical models for intensive longitudinal data (ILD), with multilevel latent state‐trait (ML‐LST) models based on the latent state‐trait theory revised (LST‐R theory) as one possible alternative.

Extending reliability to intensive longitudinal data with the Kalman filter

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is central to how researchers approach measurement in standard, group‐based analyses of single‐time‐point data, yet this critical aspect is often overlooked in the analysis of repeated observations. Since its inception, reliability has been a between‐person concept, but we redevelop this notion for within‐person designs by ...

The Dimensionality of the 12-Item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12): Comparisons of Factor Structures and Invariance Across Samples and Time

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Because of its brevity, the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) has become one of the most popular and used measure for detecting psychological distress.

A Bifactor Model of Disgust Proneness

open access: yes, 2015
The current research evaluated a bifactor model for the Disgust Emotion Scale (DES) in three samples: N = 1,318 nonclinical participants, N = 152 clinic-referred patients, and N = 352 nonclinical participants. The primary goals were to (a) use bifactor modeling to examine the latent structure of the DES and in turn (b) evaluate whether the DES should ...

Approximating multidimensionality with asymmetric unidimensional IRT models

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models are widely used even in settings where assessment data exhibit subtle forms of multidimensionality. Recent empirical evidence suggests that when item difficulty is associated with dimensionality, asymmetric item characteristic curves (ICCs) emerge in the unidimensional approximation.

Factorial validity of the Twi versions of five measures of mental health and well-being in Ghana.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:Mental health is considered an integral part of human health. Reliable and valid measurement instruments are needed to assess various facets of mental health in the native language of the people involved.

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has been a prominent modelling framework in educational and psychological measurement. Traditional IRT models are bipolar, commonly assuming symmetric measurement link functions and symmetric trait distributions over a latent continuum unbounded at both ends. However, many measured constructs, such as print exposure,
