Children's Motivation Analysis Test (Cmat) Normative Data, Gregory J. Boyle
Children's Motivation Analysis Test (Cmat) Normative Data, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Normalized standard ten scores (N-Stens) for a large cohort of 475 Australian Grade 6 children and for the boys and girls separately are presented for the Cattellian Children's Motivation Analysis Test (CMAT), representing the first such normative data available for this instrument.
Confirmation Of The Structural Dimensionality Of The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Fourth Edition), Gregory J. Boyle
Confirmation Of The Structural Dimensionality Of The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Fourth Edition), Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The new Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (fourth edition) seemingly represents an important advance in design and construction over the earlier form L-M. The latest version of the instrument (SB-IV) is purported to index both crystallized intelligence (Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning Areas) and fluid intelligence (Abstract/Visual Reasoning Area) structural dimensions respectively. Given the prominence of modem information processing theories of cognition, a separate Short-Term Memory (STM) Area is also provided. The authors provided confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) evidence to support their claim for the construct validity of each of the four cognitive ability areas. However, several inconsistent factor loadings were apparent, for …
Factor Structure Of The Differential Emotions Scale And The Eight State Questionnaire Revisited, Gregory J. Boyle
Factor Structure Of The Differential Emotions Scale And The Eight State Questionnaire Revisited, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The Differential Emotions Scale (DES-IV) and the Eight State Questionnaire (SSQ) are two separately developed multidimensional instruments purported to index simultaneously a number of fundamental emotional/mood states. The two instruments combined quantify some 20 primary mood states, which, in practice, may provide too complex a picture to be of benefit in many applied and research settings. Attempts to derive higher-order mood-state factors from both the DES-IV and the SSQ have yielded somewhat inconsistent results. In. this paper an attempt was made to resolve this issue by reanalysing data collected from 450 Australian tertiary college students. The results indicated that there …
Anomaly In Equation For Calculating 16pf Second Order Factor Qiii, Gregory J. Boyle
Anomaly In Equation For Calculating 16pf Second Order Factor Qiii, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Recently, the Institute for Personality and Ability Testing (IPAT) has released a new set of equations for calculating 16PF second-order factors. These revised equations were compared with the earlier ones provided in the l6PF Handbook, as well as with those used in the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ) for computing the second-order trait dimensions. It was found that the earlier 16PF Handbook equation for calculating QIII (Tough Poise) was not accurate. It is recommended that only the new equations be employed in future work with the 16PF. Moreover, this finding may have implications for published studies involving the 16PF second-order factors …
Sex Differences In Reported Mood States, Gregory J. Boyle
Sex Differences In Reported Mood States, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
It is generally agreed that females tend to assent more readily to negative mood states such as Anxiety or Depression, than do males. The present study explored this issue on a large sample of male and female Education undergraduate students, using the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ) as the measure of mood states. Several studies had previously suggested that the 8SQ is a useful multidimensional instrument for quantifying a wide range of clinically important mood states. Results indicated that male and female students responded differentially to a minority of the 8SQ items, and that the factor structure of reported moods differed …
Dimensions Of Adolescent Motivation As Measured By Higher-Order Factors In The School Motivation Analysis Test, Gregory J. Boyle, K Brian Start, E John Hall
Dimensions Of Adolescent Motivation As Measured By Higher-Order Factors In The School Motivation Analysis Test, Gregory J. Boyle, K Brian Start, E John Hall
Gregory J. Boyle
Although previous analyses of higher-order motivational dimensions have suggested at least seven major dynamic traits among adults, corresponding analyses among adolescents have not yet been undertaken in any satisfactory manner. To this end, the present article reports the results of a higher-order factor analysis of the subscale intercorrelations for the School Motivation Analysis Test (SMAT) on an Australian sample of 277 Year I 0 students enrolled in various senior high schools. The results suggest that at least six factors maximally account for the common variance in the SMAT. Tentative interpretations of the higher-order factors obtained are made and discussed in …
