1. Evaluating Goodness-of-Fit Indexes for Testing Measurement Invariance.

Author

Cheung, Gordon W. and Rensvold, Roger B.

Abstract

Examined 20 goodness-of-fit indexes based on the minimum fit function using a simulation under the 2-group situation. Results support the use of the delta comparative fit index, delta Gamma hat, and delta McDonald's Noncentrality Index to evaluation measurement invariance. These three approaches are independent of model complexity and sample size. (SLD)

2. ASSESSING EXTREME AND ACQUIESCENCE RESPONSE SETS IN CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH USING STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS MODELING

Author

Cheung, Gordon W. and Rensvold, Roger B.

Subjects
Cross-cultural studies -- Analysis, Surveys -- Analysis, Psychology and mental health
Abstract

Extreme response styles (ERS) and acquiescence response styles (ARS) may constitute important sources of cross-cultural differences on survey-type instruments. Differences in ERS and ARS, if undetected, may give rise to spurious results that do not reflect genuine differences in attitudes or perceptions. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis is recommended as the most effective method of testing for ERS and ARS and determining whether cultural groups can be meaningfully compared on the basis of factor (latent) means. A detailed numerical example is provided.

3. An investigation of factors expected to affect feedback seeking: a longitudinal field study

Abstract

This study of 137 helicopter pilot trainess investigated individual strategies used to obtain performance feedback during two consecutive phases of their training. Individual and situational factors cited in previous research were investigated as predictors of two feedback seeking behaviors: eliciting (asking directly for feedback) and monitoring (using indirect techniques, such as observing, to gain additional feedback). Both individual and situational factors were significant predictors of feedback seeking behaviors. Feedback seeking costs and the student pilots' external propensity (an individual difference measure assessing their desire for external feedback) were found to be the most consistent predictors of feedback eliciting and monitoring, both within and across the two training phases. In addition, the results point to higher feedback eliciting when performance was rated as low. The implications of this research are discussed, especially with respect to training.

4. Individual differences in the generation and processing of performance feedback

Author

Abstract

This article describes the development of three domain-specific measures of individual differences in feedback propensities. In a series of studies, the authors identify the primary dimensions, psychometric characteristics, and construct validation evidence for internal ability, internal propensity, and external propensity for feedback. Confirmatory factor analysis supports the three dimensional representation. Correlations between the new scales and existing measures of personality are consistent with theoretical predictions. Theoretical and practical extensions of the current work are discussed.

Abstract

Many statistical techniques were originally invented for the purpose of making comparisons between and among groups of entities. Not surprisingly, difficulties arise when the entities are human beings. Comparisons among groups of people are straightforward when the variables have objective operationalizations, such as age, income, and education level. They are less straightforward when the variables are attitudes, such as self-esteem and job satisfaction. Attitudes are usually operationalized as scale scores, and before such scores can be meaningfully compared, it must be shown that the scale items "mean the same thing" to members of all the groups being studied. This is the so-called measurement invariance problem. In recent years, structural equation modeling (SEM) has been used to test the measurement invariance of survey-type items across two groups; e.g., two national cultures. Unfortunately the currently recommended procedures are computationally intensive and not well suited for testing item invariance among multiple groups. In particular, they offer no straightforward ways of answering the following questions: (1) What subset of groups can be compared using all the items? (2) What subset of items can be used to compare all groups? This paper proposes a new technique, based on the confidence intervals of estimated factor loadings, which address these shortcomings. The procedure minimizes the number of SE models that must be estimated, and provides a systematic approach to analyzing the data produced. With the exception of the SEM runs, the entire procedure can be performed either manually or with the help of a spreadsheet program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

16. INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL ANTECEDENTS OF PERCEIVED FEEDBACK-SEEKING COST IN AVIATION TRAINING: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY.

Author

Rensvold, Roger B.

Subjects
PSYCHOLOGICAL feedback, TRAINING, HELICOPTER pilots, AIR pilots, COST, STUDENTS
Abstract

Individual and situational predictors of feedback-seeking cost were studies for 145 student helicopter pilots, using the Fishbein-Ajzen theory of reasoned action as a theoretical foundation. Predictors of cost changed longitudinally, and with situational changes: the only consistent predictor was each recipient's personal relationship with his/her instructor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
