Dear fellow researchers, As part of my PhD project in Educational Psychology, I am studying the impact of teachers’ psychological health and school organizational health on student academic success, based on an applied intervention in public schools in Portugal and Spain.
Relevant answer
The most effective organizational factors for promoting teachers’ psychological well-being in high-stress school environments include strong leadership support, collaborative professional culture, and manageable workloads. When schools prioritize open communication, recognition, and autonomy, teachers are more likely to feel valued and resilient, reducing burnout and improving job satisfaction.

You have many avenues for exploration. A prominent model, developed in the USA but used worldwide is collective self-efficacy of teachers. Another option is the Teacher Well-Being Scale. You could also set off in your own direction, exploring job satisfaction and organizational behavior using different scales and see how/if they intersect.

The 5 Philosophies Reshaping the 21st Century: When Being Matters More Than Having
The old status symbols are collapsing. Wealth no longer signals wisdom. Popularity doesn’t mean purpose. We are entering an era of deep transformation - and these 5 emerging philosophies are becoming the new mental operating system:
1. Neo-Humanism: Well-being over GDP
Success is being redefined not as performance, but as presence. Education is no longer just about knowledge transfer - it’s becoming a space for psychological safety and collective care.
In a world full of noise, attention becomes the rarest form of generosity.
2. Modern Stoicism: Inner composure is the new luxury
It’s not about withdrawing from the world - it’s about having the emotional stamina to stay in it, with clarity and dignity, even when everything shakes.
3. Longtermism: Thinking in centuries, not quarters
True innovation serves generations. Our universities must evolve from reactive to visionary - from disseminators of content to architects of futures.
4. Post-Urbanism: The quiet power of small communities
A brilliant PhD candidate I know left the academic race to grow tomatoes and teach philosophy at a village library.
This wasn’t an escape. It was a redefinition of impact.
Sometimes, less noise means more meaning.
5. Neo-Luddism: Conscious disconnection
Not every upgrade deserves our adoption. Critical thinking is not resistance to progress - it’s how we survive its velocity.
A question for those who think in decades, not days:
Which of these philosophies is already shaping your worldview?
Which one are you ready to embrace to stay human in a world addicted to acceleration?
Let’s build a new map of meaning - together.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear
António José Rodrigues Rebelo
,
Thank you for your thoughtful and psychologically nuanced perspective. I fully resonate with your emphasis on the necessity of embracing the moment and cultivating personal meaning -especially in times of existential uncertainty.
Indeed, as educators, psychologists, and thinkers, we are increasingly called not to defend fixed paradigms, but to act as facilitators of adaptive meaning-making. In this sense, pragmatism becomes not merely a philosophical stance, but a form of psychological resilience - a lived epistemology that bridges emotion and cognition.
I would further argue that the capacity to co-construct reality is what distinguishes education as an emancipatory force. When learners are empowered to interpret, feel, and act upon their lived experience, we foster not just individual agency but the ethical capacity to respond to complexity without collapsing into ideological rigidity.
Perhaps, then, the post-crisis paradigm is not about returning to certainty, but learning to hold multiplicity with dignity. And in this, as you wisely suggest, psychological pragmatism may be our most human philosophy.

Title: Quantum Neuroplasticity: Cognitive Metamorphosis through Advanced Learning Strategies
Abstract: This randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of neuroplasticity-based learning strategies on cognitive development among postgraduate students. Conducted at Arizona State University, the study involved 100 participants aged 22-25, utilizing standardized neurocognitive assessments and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The research revealed statistically significant cognitive performance improvements, with verbal reasoning expanding by 45.37%, spatial processing enhancing by 56.12%, and attention performance efficiency increasing by 63.87%. Neuroimaging analyses demonstrated substantial functional connectivity improvements ranging from 46.89% to 50.24%, with cognitive gains sustainably maintained at 92.574% during follow-up assessments.
Keywords: Neuroplasticity, Cognitive Development, Learning Strategies, Neural Connectivity, Cognitive Performance.

Hello everyone,
I’m seeking advice on the best approach for analyzing data related to ESL learners’ self-regulation capacities in vocabulary learning, specifically in relation to socio-demographic variables like age, gender, major, and IELTS scores (Comparison). I just wanted to detect differences in self-regualtion and background variables without hypotheses.
Initially, I used MANOVA to identify overall differences across these variables, focusing on five dimensions of self-regulation. I conducted separate MANOVAs for each variable (e.g., age, gender) with the five domains of self-regualtion and then summarized the results in a comprehensive table.
Additionally, I performed one-way ANOVAs for each socio-demographic variable across the five domains, which yielded insightful and significant differences. After I wrote all the results and discussion, however, my supervisor suggested a different approach: using a single MANOVA model that includes all socio-demographic variables simultaneously and all self-regualtion domains. This method produced different results, highlighting only some differences in age and English levels. My supervisor is particularly interested in examining interaction effects.
The challenge is that my sample consists of approximately 550 participants, but the distribution is uneven across specific age groups and proficiency levels, leading to some cells being empty in the analysis of interaction effects. This imbalance complicates the analysis, and I’m torn between the two approaches. Even the discusstion becomes more challenging.
Personally, I favor the first approach because I didn't hypothesize any interaction effects, and the unequal sample sizes across groups make the results from the second approach less reliable. Additionally, the findings from the first approach are more interesting and aligned with my research objectives.
Given these considerations, I’m concerned about which method is more appropriate. I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to proceed with this analysis. Note, I have both analysis and discussion in sperate files written but I am concerned what is the best for my thesis.
Thank you in advance for your help!

IMO, anyone who is contemplating using MANOVA should read the following articles before proceeding.

As a teacher, or educator, have you experienced teaching by considering student’s learning trauma? what is your perspective about student’s learning trauma?
Relevant answer
Answer
I have tutored many students over the years, and they all needed tutoring because their grades were the worst they could be. During the first couple of sessions, I always had to make time to not only assess where their difficulties were but also to deconstruct this idea they had of themselves that they were either "too stupid" or "would never achieve a better grade." And this idea was usually built on the myth that this one particular subject would forever be their weakness. Without exception, they all had stories of being ridiculed, humiliated, and belittled by their teacher of said subject. Some stories were truly horrifying to hear. Their self-esteem was so broken, and their relation to the subject was negative in every way. I heard "I just hate English" so many times... Some even had physical symptoms, like headaches or stomach issues, before class or our tutoring session. It is sad that many teachers don't work with a more resource-oriented perspective rather than always highlighting deficits. I found a good strategy is not to use their regular class materials for the first couple of sessions and instead to work on their interests and how to include the subject in their lives. For example, if a student loves sports, we talk about that in English, focus on having an enjoyable tutoring session, and then later work on grammar, tenses, etc. In general, I believe that saying "the student is lazy/stupid" is an easy way out instead of doing the investigative work of "where your student is" and how you can "meet them there" (figuratively speaking). Also, many neuroscience studies prove that the brain cannot learn under stress, so yelling at them will never yield long-lasting, positive results.

Wellbeing and School Curricula
Why isn't psychological well-being (PWB) a core component of secondary school curricula?
I'm very curious to hear input from educators and policy makers on the above issue. Or from anyone reading this.
Is it because:
1) Secondary school curricula are traditionally focused more on intellectual growth than emotional growth. Parents are regarded as the source of education on emotional growth.
2) Educators and policy makers are not aware of the increase in rates of depression among teenagers globally.
3) Educators and policy makers are not focused on student depression / anxiety as they don't think it affects academic performance.
4) A lack of data on the impact of student wellbeing on student performance, resulting in skepticism that changes in curricula may have an impact on student wellbeing.
5) A different reason?
Relevant answer
Answer
Interesting question and replies.
Curricula are supposed to include goals about wellbeing and not only knowledge.
The crucial question is whether these goals are feasible and given the right attention or priority.

I have a longitudinal model and the stability coefficients for one construct change dramatically from the first and second time point (.04) to the second and third time point (.89). I have offered a theoretical explanation for why this occurs, but have been asked about potential model bias.
Why would this indicate model bias? (A link to research would be helpful).
How can I determine whether the model is biased or not? (A link to research would be helpful).
Thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
That makes sense. Are you comparing the cross-lagged panel (auto)regression (path) coefficients to zero-order correlations? This could be part of the issue (explain the "discrepancy"/low autoregressive stability coefficient). Regression coefficients are not equal to zero-order (bivariate) correlations. The regression coefficients take the correlation with other independent variables into account. This may explain why the autoregressive "stability" coefficients in your model look very different from the zero-order correlations. It is impossible to know without looking at your data and model in more detail.
The model fit does not look completely horrible at first sight but the chi-square test is significant and the RMSEA value is a bit high. I would take a look at model residuals and/or modification indices to find out where the model may be misspecified.

I am working on a research on achievement goal orientation as predictors of secondary school Chemistry students' achievement.
On further research I discovered that I can adopt the achievement goal theory in the course of this research.
I need to understand more about this, and how I can apply it in investigating academic achievement of secondary school Chemistry students'.
Relevant answer
Answer
Achievement Goal Theory is a psychological framework that aims to explain how individuals' goals and motivations influence their behavior and performance in achievement settings. The theory suggests that individuals adopt different goal orientations or achievement goal orientations, which shape their behavior and responses to achievement-related situations.
Students with a mastery goal orientation are primarily focused on developing their skills, mastering new knowledge, and improving themselves. While students with a performance goal orientation are primarily focused on demonstrating their competence and outperforming others.
Developed by John Nicholls and Carol Dweck in the 1980s and has been widely studied in the context of education, particularly regarding academic achievement among students.

I propose the discussion of two important aspects for carrying out research based on an INTEGRATIVE Mixed Methodology (MM) design in socio-educational research.
According to a systematic review of the literature that my research team conducted (Bagur et al., 2021), we were able to observe the current duality of CUANTI and CUALI approaches.
Furthermore, we concluded that most of the research that claims to make use of MM does not actually use continuous links of both methodologies throughout the research process, and therefore does not make use of INTEGRATION.
All of this leads to the present discussion of MM research design, as I would like to go deeper into these aspects and, to a greater extent, to get to know the current positions.

The question can be considered simple, but for me, the answer is not easy. The answer should not be just another ethic course. In this way, morality is probably not different from medicine or economics or anything else: It would remain theoretical. Theory may (or may not) be the foundation for the later training of a skill, but most often theoretical knowledge is transformed into practical skill by *application* or *exercise*. But how to do this for morality? Or is moral behavior not teachable at all?
Relevant answer
Dear Dr. Sven Form
We can always learn from the moral examples that have been transmitted to us since our childhood because we always perceive in our lives the moral and ethical principles and codes through our daily behaviors, and it is that the moral principles and the strong values ​​of character are taught to us constantly. Our “human existence” offers us the opportunity of taking or not knowing how to take the codes of ethics, morals and Human Rights [that derive from them] in our daily life, everything depends on us and our mental capacities to be able to perceive or not perceive if our ethical and moral behavior goes the right way.

The study is a Residential nature-based intervention programme to be conducted for 5 days focussing on strengthening the environmental behaviour of the young adults (18 to 25 age group). The study involves a Pre-Post control group design in which the participants to treatment groups (control and experimental group) will be assigned based on their pre-test scores (of a standard questionnaire). Moreover, matching of the participants to the two groups will be done based on the gender of the participants as well.
The participants shall be assessed at three intervals of time; pre-test prior to the programme and an immediate post-test and a follow-up test after a month of the programme completion.
The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the nature-based intervention programme on the environmental behaviour of young adults.
In this regard, I am unable to find relevant literature to calculate the minimum sample size required for the study. To be precise, the study area falls under the field of "Educational Psychology". On a high note, conducting a pilot study to determine the sample size, with fewer resources and funds also becomes not feasible.
Considering all these, it would highly be appreciable if I get help in deciding the minimum samples required for this residential intervention programme with proper literature cited.
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ARE ALSO WELCOME WITH REGARD TO THE STUDY DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY.
Relevant answer
Answer
As Daniel P. Moriarity said - G*Power and R are very good options to estimate how many participants you need. It is good not only for dissertation, but also in any kind of research.
In longitudinal study you should also remember to recruit more people in first measurement than you need basing on estimations to have at the end to do proper analysis. For example, I have conducted longitudinal study with short- and medium-term post-tests (day, two weeks, and two months after experiment) few months ago. Our plan was to have ~ 215 participants who will take part in all measurements, so we've recruited ~ 400 people at the beginning of the study. Finally, we had planned number of participants.
Drop-out rate depends on many conditions (e.g. length of intervals, financial gratification, subject of the study, how time-consuming the study is for participants). So, you should consider how many people can leave your study between the first and the last measurement.
Good luck!

Is there a difference between the theory of Social cognitive and the theory of self-efficacy?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Dr Alameri,
Social Cognitive Theory covers many topics such as moral judgment and physiological arousal, research has been primarily focused on self-efficacy, or the beliefs regarding one's capabilities of successfully completing tasks or goals. On the other hand, Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments.

There are three conditions that make phonemes easy for children to learn. 1. positioned in the front, not back, of the mouth, 2. total articulation rather than partial articulation, and 3. muscles developed from nursing, etc. This means that /m/ is learned earlier than /n/, which is learned earlier than /ng/ (front of the mouth so baby can see and touch the articulation). It also explains why /t/ is learned before /f/, or /s/ (total articulation). The first word that a child learns is often "mama." (total articulartion in the front of the moth, using nursing muscles, followed by a back vowel (for contrast). Here is a PowerPoint about "Phonetics," and one about "Phonology."

Answer
المستخدمة لتقييم جودة البحث، حيث تشير إلى مدى جودة طرق وتقنيات التحليل الإحصائي المستخدمة في البحث، وتتعلق الموثوقية أو الثبات بتناسق أداة الدراسة (المقياس)، أما المصداقية فتتعلق بدقة المقياس.
وترتبط الموثوقية والمصداقية ارتباطًا وثيقًا، لكنهما تشيران إلى مقاصد مختلفة تتفق في الهدف الأساسي وهو تقييم جودة البحث، ويمكن أن يكون القياس موثوقًا به دون أن يكون صادقاً، أما القياس الصادق فهو دائماً موثوق بشكل عام.
من المهم مراعاة الموثوقية والمصداقية عند التخطيط لإجراء دراسة، وإنشاء تصميم البحث وكتابة النتائج، خاصة في البحث الكمي.
ويقارن الجدول التالي بين الموثوقية والمصداقية:
وجه المقارنة
الموثوقية (الثبات)
المصداقية (الصدق)
التركيز
مدى تكرار النتائج عند تكرار البحث في ظل نفس الظروف.
مدى صحة قياس النتائج الفعلية مقارنة مع ما هو موجود.
كيفية التقييم
من خلال التحقق من تناسق النتائج في أوقات متفرقة، وعبر محكمين مختلفين، وأجزاء من الاختبار نفسه.
من خلال التحقق من مدى توافق النتائج مع النظريات القائمة ونتائج الدراسات الأخرى التي ناقشت نفس القضية.
الفرق الرئيسي بين الموثوقية والثبات
الموثوقية ليست دائمًا صادقة: قد تكون النتائج قابلة للتكرار، لكنها ليست صحيحة بالضرورة.
المصداقية ثابتة بشكل عام. (إذا أسفر التحليل الإحصائي عن نتائج صادقة، فيجب أن تكون قابلة للتكرار.
ما هي الموثوقية (الثبات)؟
تشير الموثوقية إلى مدى تناسق أداة الدراسة (المقياس) في جمع وتحليل البيانات، ويكون المقياس موثوقاً إذا حقق نفس النتيجة باستمرار مهما تم تكراره باستخدام نفس الأساليب في نفس الظروف.
مثال: تطبيق أداة الدراسة على عينة من 100 معلم ومعلمة في مدرسة معينة، وتحت ظروف معينة، في سنة ما، وبعد سنتين من إجراء الدراسة الأولى، يتم تطبيق نفس أداة الدراسة على نفس العينة، وتحت نفس الظروف الأولى، إذا تطابقت نتائج الدراسة الثانية مع نتائج الدراسة الأولى، حينها تكون أداة الدراسة موثوقة، ويمكن تعميمها واعتمادها لدراسة الظاهرة التي أعدت لدراستها.
” من الممكن أن يكون الاستبيان مقياساً ضعيفاً من حيث الموثوقية، نظراً لضعف قدرته على التنبؤ بالتغيرات المحتملة!”
ما هي المصداقية (الصدق)؟
تشير المصداقية إلى مدى صحة قياس النتائج الفعلية مقارنة مع النتائج الواقعية، والنظريات القائمة، كما أنها تشير إلى مدى صحة المقياس مقارنة مع ما سيتم قياسه.
إذا كان البحث يتمتع بمصداقية عالية، فهذا يعني أنه سيسفر عن نتائج تتوافق مع الخصائص والتغيرات الحقيقية في العالم المادي أو الاجتماعي.
مثال: إذا أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن البطالة هي السبب الرئيسي في ارتفاع معدلات الجريمة في دولة ما، فهذا يعني أن النتائج صادقة، حيث أن هناك توافق بين النتائج والواقع على الرغم من أن نتائج الدراسة قد تكشف تفاصيلاً دقيقة عن الظاهرة لا يمكن معرفتها من خلال ملاحظة الظاهرة فحسب. أما إذا أظهرت النتائج أن ارتفاع معدلات الجريمة سببها الرئيسي هو رغبة الإنسان في أن يكون مجرماً، فهذا أمر غير منطقي، ويدل على أن مصداقية النتائج منخفضة، خاصة إذا لم توفر الدراسة الأدلة الكافية كي تبرر هذه النتيجة.
” يجب أن تتكامل الموثوقية مع المصداقية لتقيم مدى جودة الدراسة بفعالية عالية، وبشكل فعال.”
” من الصعب تحديد الأكثر أهمية، لكن جميع المؤشرات المنطقية تؤكد على أن المصداقية هي أكثر أهمية.”
كيف يتم تقييم الموثوقية والمصداقية؟
يمكن تقييم الموثوقية من خلال مقارنة الإصدارات المختلفة (عبر أوقات متفرقة) من نفس المقياس، أما المصداقية فمن الصعب تقييمها، ولكن يمكن تقديرها بمقارنة النتائج ببيانات أو نظريات أخرى ذات صلة بها، أو مقارنة النتائج بما هو موجود على أرض الواقع، يتم تقسيم طرق تقدير الموثوقية والمصداقية عادة إلى أنواع مختلفة.
طرق تقييم الموثوقية:
يمكن تقييم أنواع مختلفة من الموثوقية من خلال الأساليب الإحصائية المختلفة.
طرق تقييم الموثوقية ماذا تقيم؟ مثال
الاختبار وإعادة الاختبار تناسق المقياس عبر الزمن: هل نحصل على نفس النتائج عند تكرار القياس في فترة زمنية مختلفة؟ تقوم مجموعة من العينة بإكمال استبيان مصمم لقياس سمات الشخصية. إذا قاموا بتكرار الاستبيان بعد أيام أو أسابيع أو أشهر متباعدة وقدموا نفس الإجابات، فهذا يشير إلى موثوقية عالية في إعادة الاختبار.
تناسق المقياس عبر المحكمين تناسق المقياس عبر المقيِّمين أو المحكمين: هل نحصل على نفس النتائج عندما يقوم أشخاص مختلفون بتحكيم نفس المقياس؟ بناءً على مراجعة معايير التقييم، يقدم خمسة محكمين نتائج مختلفة لنفس المقياس، هذا يشير هذا إلى أن أداة الدراسة منخفضة الموثوقية، بينما لو قدم المحكمين نفس النتائج فهذا يعني أن أداة الدراسة ذات موثوقية مرتفعة.
التناسق الداخلي تناسق المقياس نفسه: هل جميع فقرات أو أجزاء أداة الدراسة، تعطي نفس النتائج عندما يتم التأكد من موثوقيتها؟ استبيان لقياس احترام الذات. إذا قسمت النتائج عشوائيًا إلى نصفين، فيجب أن يكون هناك ارتباط قوي بين المجموعتين. إذا كانت المجموعتين مختلفتين تمامًا، فهذا يشير إلى تناسق داخلي منخفض.
طرق تقييم المصداقية:
يمكن تقدير أنواع مختلفة من المصداقية من خلال الأساليب الإحصائية المختلفة، أو حكم الخبراء.
طرق تقييم المصداقية ماذا تقيم؟ مثال
البناء الالتزام بمقياس النظرية القائمة والمعرفة بالنظرية التي يتم قياسها. يمكن تقييم استبيان احترام الذات من خلال قياس السمات الأخرى المعروفة أو المفترضة ذات الصلة بمفهوم احترام الذات، يشير الارتباط القوي بين درجات احترام الذات والسمات المرتبطة إلى مصداقية البناء العالية.
المحتوى مدى تغطية المقياس لجميع جوانب المفهوم الذي يتم قياسه. يحتوي الاختبار الذي يهدف إلى قياس مستوى اللغة الإسبانية للطلاب على مكونات القراءة والكتابة والتحدث، ولكن ليس هناك مهارة استماع. يتفق الخبراء على أن مهارة الاستماع جانب أساسي من القدرة اللغوية ، لذلك يفتقر الاختبار إلى مصداقية المحتوى لقياس المستوى العام للغة الإسبانية.
المعيار مدى توافق نتائج المقياس مع المقاييس الصحيحة الأخرى لنفس النظرية. تم إجراء مسح لقياس الآراء السياسية للناخبين في المنطقة. إذا كانت النتائج تتنبأ بدقة بالنتيجة النهائية للانتخابات في تلك المنطقة، فإن هذا يشير إلى مصداقية المسح عالية.
كيفية ضمان الموثوقية والمصداقية
تعتمد موثوقية ومصداقية نتائجك على إنشاء تصميم بحث قوي واختيار الأساليب والعينات المناسبة وإجراء البحث بعناية وثبات، وهذه بعض النصائح للحصول على أداة دراسة ثابتة، ونتائج صادقة:
إذا كنت تستخدم أداةً لقياس الاختلافات في شيء ما (مثل السمات النفسية أو مستويات القدرة أو الخصائص الفيزيائية)، فمن المهم أن تعكس نتائجك الاختلافات الحقيقية بأكبر قدر ممكن من الدقة.
” يجب مراعاة المصداقية في المراحل الأولى من بحثك، بينما أنت تخطط كيف ستجمع بياناتك.”
تأكد من أن أداة الدراسة (المقياس) عالية الجودة وموجهة لقياس ما تريد معرفته بالضبط، بناءً على النظريات والمعارف القائمة.
على سبيل المثال، لجمع بيانات عن سمة شخصية، يمكنك استخدام استبيان موحد يعتبر موثوقًا وصادقاً.
” إذا قمت بتطوير استبيانك الخاص، فينبغي أن يستند إلى النظريات القائمة أو نتائج الدراسات السابقة، ويجب صياغة الأسئلة بعناية ودقة.”
للحصول على نتائج قابلة للتعميم، حدد بوضوح العينة التي تبحث عنها (على سبيل المثال ، أشخاص من فئة عمرية محددة أو موقع جغرافي معين أو مهنة محددة). تأكد من أن لديك ما يكفي من المشاركين وأنهم يمثلون مجتمع الدراسة بدقة.
يجب مراعاة الموثوقية عند اختيار أداة جمع البيانات، كما يجب مراعاة الدقة طوال عملية جمع البيانات، حيث أن من المهم للغاية أن تكون النتائج دقيقة وثابتة وقابلة للتكرار.
خطط لاختيار أداة الدراسة بعناية للتأكد من تنفيذ نفس الخطوات بنفس الطريقة لكل قياس، هذا مهم بشكل خاص إذا شارك العديد من الباحثين في نفس الدراسة.
على سبيل المثال ، إذا كنت تجري مقابلات أو تعتمد الملاحظة، حدد بوضوح كيف سيتم رصد السلوكيات أو الردود، وتأكد من صياغة الأسئلة بنفس الطريقة في كل مرة.
عند جمع البيانات، حافظ على تناسق الظروف قدر الإمكان للحد من تأثير العوامل الخارجية التي قد تؤدي إلى اختلاف النتائج.
على سبيل المثال، في الإعداد التجريبي لأداة الدراسة تأكد من إعطاء جميع المشاركين نفس المعلومات واختبارهم في ظل نفس الظروف.
ما هي أقسام البحث التي يتم كتابة مناقشة الموثوقية والمصداقية فيها؟
إن للموثوقية والمصداقية أهمية كبيرة في إثبات جودة البحث العلمي، لذلك يجب أن يتم تضمين تقارير التحقق من الموثوقية والمصداقية في أقسام مختلفة من البحث، والجدول التالي يبين الأقسام المناسبة لكل تقرير:
المناقشة القسم
ماذا فعل باحثون آخرون لابتكار وتحسين الموثوقية والمصداقية؟
مراجعة الأدبيات
كيف خططت لبحثك لضمان الموثوقية والمصداقية؟ وهذا يشمل مجموعة العينات المختارة وحجمها، وإعداد العينة، والظروف الخارجية وتقنيات القياس.
منهجية البحث وإجراءاته
إذا قمت بحساب الموثوقية والمصداقية ، فاذكر قيمها جنبًا إلى جنب مع النتائج الرئيسية.
النتائج
مدى الموثوقية والمصداقية الفعلية. هل كانت متناسقة وهل تعكس القيم الحقيقية؟ إذا لم تكن كذلك ، فلماذا ؟
المناقشة
إذا واجه الباحث بعض المشكلات في إثبات الموثوقية والمصداقية، فقد يكون من المفيد ذكر ذلك.

Hello,
This can be a silly question to ask, but my main field is not in reading comprehension. While I try my best to phrase my question, it can sound a bit awkward. Thank you for your understanding.
According to the theories of reading comprehension, there are three levels of reading comprehension: literal, inferential, and critical. Literal comprehension means understanding what the text exactly says or describes, and inferential comprehension means deriving the meanings that are not explictly stated in the text, i.e. "reading between the lines".
Is strong literal comprehension a must in order for an individual to make a good inferential comprehension? That is, does an individual need to have a solid grasp on vast literal details of a text for he or she to be able to "read between the lines"? Is it possible for an individual to do a good job in doing the tasks that requires inferential comprehension while he or she performs relatively worse in the tasks that mainly involves literal comprehension?
Thank you,

  • asked a question related to Educational Psychology
Question

My main field is not Linguistics/reading comprehension so what I am asking might sound a bit silly or not make a lot of sense. My question could certainly be better-phrased.
Is there a theory in reading comprehension that says something like: "The simple reading questions are best answered via simple text analyses, whereas more difficult reading questions are best answered with more complex text analyses"?
I think this intuitively makes sense, since for example, if a person over-analyzes (over-thinks through) the simple reading questions from Grade 1 classes, such a practice can introduce unnecessary complications in deriving the correct answer for the questions.
PS: I guess by saying "elementary (easy/simple) reading questions" vs. "advanced (difficult) reading questions", I am referring more to their readability/difficulty as depicted in the English classes of different grade levels. For example, the reading questions of the Kindergarten/Grade 1 classes are considered much easier than the ``advanced'' reading questions that are from college-level English classes.
PPS: I think I need to be more precise on what I mean by ``simple text analysis'' and ``complex text analysis''. When school teachers try to teach students on how to analyze texts, they refer to the theory like the "three levels of reading" (literal, inferential, critical). In this context, ``simple text analysis'' would be the analyses that focus on literal comprehension whereas ``complex text analysis'' would be the analyses that focus on critical comprehension.
Thank you, :S

Yo pienso que eso depende de factores como la edad de los niños, el estilo de aprendizaje que tenga y la metodología que el docente use para enseñar a comprender textos. En los niños pequeños un ejemplo aprender mucho de manera visual pero hay niños que son auditivos, además que la repetición de la palabra, frase o texto es fuente misma de la comprensión; es decir si tu metodología es que todos los días al ingresar al salón le vas a leer un texto ellos a la semana ya te sabrán recitar el texto mediante sus palabras y te da Indice de la compresión de el texto.

I've heard that people are most responsive to messages delivered at an 4th grade reading level. 
If anyone has analyzed cognitive complexity scores at this level, have you found a mean complexity score equivalent?
I am not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but I am thinking I want to see how cognitive complexity theories fits into Hogg's uncertainty identity theory.
Relevant answer
I think that determining the degree of cognitive complexity of the average level of fourth-grade reading depends on several things, including: the economic and social level of the country, the nature of the curricula offered to students, the level of teacher performance, as well as the educational environment.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any convention or standard to evaluate for how long a national, large-scale educational evaluation should be implemented? I've heard that even with an extensive item bank and doing equating a test has kind of a "lifespan" (for example, a if a given test should be used only for 10 years before it loses its psychometric properties susbtantially). But how does this gets evaluated or measured, or is there any implicit rule? And is there a keyword for this?
Could you please provide me with published reference?

You may have heard about Mindset Theory developed by Carol Dweck. The theory proposes that fixed mindset refers to the beliefs that one’s level of intelligence is immutable. In other words, it is something inborn and cannot be changed. On the other hand, growth mindsets are the beliefs dedicated practice and effective study skills help be develop intelligence.
What do you think as language teachers / researchers: If a teacher has a fixed mindset about language learning, that it, if a student has the talent, s/he can learn the language, is it likely to promote growth mindset in the classroom? Or if a teacher has a growth mindset, is it likely for him/her to change the attitude (and mindset) of students with fixed mindsets?

So when you mix several scales, you don't have the "manipulation" problem anyway. Just be careful when arranging the items so that consecutive items are not obviously related to each other. Correctly citing your sources should be enough when using scales that are published in research articles.

In psychology, we have many approaches to base our evaluation and treatment of a patient, such as psychology of education, community psychology, social psychology, humanistic approach, cognitive-behavioural approach, neuropsychological approach, industrial-organizational approach, psychodynamic, etc. I get that some approaches don't fit with the level of target/observation (e.g. I/O psychology for a single mother at home dealing with major depression), and that each one is a tool in the toolbox for a specific need and objective, but I ask for a possible integration of similar or potentially complementary approaches (neuropsy with TCC or humanistic with ecological model of Bronfenbrenner confirmed with neuropsy, etc.). In summary, I am curious of what has been proposed to build a sort of unity with some of the approaches in modern psychology.

Psychotherapy methods can be unified, the current treatment methods are scattered, are targeted to specific needs, because of the lack of a unified psychology theory.

Answer
In educational psychology, learning theories give good insight into the way the students learn. And once you know this, you can make the teaching-learning process 'learner centered' in real sense. It actually helps you to understand what are the needs of learner in the classroom, why he behaves in a specific way, why he responds in a way different from others and different from his own behaviour at different times. Once you understand the learner, you can design instructional strategies accordingly to make teaching-learning a successful experience.
Very simple example, when a student is not participating in the classroom activities or is less active in class, how can you decode whats going on in his mind? How can you help him and make teaching-learning more meaningful for him? The answers to such situations in class lies in educational psychology.
It is not only a physical being in a classroom but humans who are yet to understand themselves and there is more!

Because of time constraints, it would ideal to measure all participants at once, if possible. Alternatively, a brief test could do.

Howard Gardner’s 1983 book Frames of Mind, which introduced the concept of “multiple intelligences,” relatively autonomous faculties including the linguistic, logical-mathematical, and musical. He didn't include the emotional intelligence as one of them although of its importance, why? 
Relevant answer
Answer
Howard Gardner was probably trying to propose a way of understanding intelligence that differed from the conventionally-established psychometric approach.  The standard approach quantified individual differences and sought to predict success (e.g., educational attainment).  In contrast, Gardner looked historically at extreme successes and limitations in people, and proposed that the presence or absence of an "intelligence" gave rise to it.  For example, Mozart was phenomenal musically, but otherwise ordinary (e.g., math).  That suggested to Gardner that there may be a "musical intelligence."  Some people are brilliant in their use of language, while some children who are otherwise typical, have an especially hard time with language (i.e., the disorder "specific language impairment."  That suggests there may be, "verbal-linguistic intelligence."  Among the intelligences Gardner proposed were intra-personal and inter-personal.  To me, those seem quite a lot like the "emotional intelligence" that Daniel Goleman popularized about a decade later.  There is quite a lot of criticism of both of these perspectives within the mainstream of scientific Psychology, but the general importance of emotion is widely recognized and emotion continues to be an area of extensive scientific research within our field.

Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, Joel is correct in saying that there are some challenges in early identification e.g. avoiding false positives and also the fact that we do not have reliable measures of early indicators of reading performance that could be used before about age 6. However, many education systems, especially in the UK work on a policy of teaching individual children depending on their level and their responses to teaching or interventions. This means that although dyslexia might not be identified early, children should be supported according to their individual needs prior to any official diagnosis. There is a lot of research being done to improve early identification using proxy measures that predict later reading ability. Hopefully in the next few years some of these might become more widely used.  This would help to maximize potential as you mention.  Dyslexia is a very varied condition and each child who presents with symptoms presents differently from the next child. This means that some children will go unnoticed for many years because they may have strengths that mask any weaknesses. Therefore it is true that many children don't get identified as early as we would like (if at all) - I see students only getting identified at age 18+.

can any researcher send me the copy of 12-item Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students questionnaire and its scoring manual or instructions?
Relevant answer
Answer
I am attaching two files from the author's web site: one consists of the complete PASS, the other of the scoring instructions (with additional information - basically a test manual).
Although this measure is much longer than what you want, I believe the 12-item version can easily be reconstructed based on the information provided in the manual. 
Section One of the scale measures the frequency of procrastination. It is 18 items long: 6 mini-sections, 3 items each. The "total score" for this section is the sum of the first two items in each section (1+2+4+5+7+8+10+11+13+14+16+17: 12 items!). This makes sense, because the third item in each section asks about the test-taker's desire to change the behavior in question. So although I'm not absolutely certain, it looks like these 12 items are the short form that is so widely used.
I suggest contacting the authors directly with any follow-up questions.

As utility is supposed to measure both usability and usefulness, is there a way I can separate usefulness from usability? Is it safe to assume that useful, practical, necessary, helpful, beneficial are measures for usefulness and functional, efficient, effective, productive are measures for usability?
I am just afraid using this method of distinguishing between usability and usefulness metrics as people might have different interpretations for different items. So I might consider an item as a measure of usability construct. But, someone else might consider that item as a subset of usefulness construct.

My problem is that I wanted to find out the impact/effect size of each of the constructs within the predictor variables of leadership behaviors and adult learning strategies and I am being told it cannot be done because my criterion variable is a composite score.

The thing about prediction models is that they depend precisely on definitions, measurements and the possibility of replicability.

Dear Angelo, Cronbach's Coefficient Alpha gives a measure of internal reliability which, in general terms of the meaning, is computed based on the mean scores of the inter-item correlations. Thus, the higher these correlations the higher the Coefficient Alpha. Furthermore, higher scores of Alpha indicate that all items in the scale perceived highly similar to each other by the respondents. In some cases, this can also be interpreted as  evidence for construct validity. On the other hand, in experimental studies, in contrast to cross-sectional design studies, there is always an intervention which may cause to change participants' perceptions regarding outcome variables (e.g., optimism, attitudes), and this, in turn, may reduce the inter-item correlations due to the possible effects of intervention on participants' perceptions. In fact, this is frequently observed in social psychology studies in which bogus negative/positive feedback is given to respondents. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you should consider how the intervention that you used in your study changed participants perceptions regarding outcome variable(s).  Furthermore, you should also investigate whether the changes of participants' perceptions in the group level may significantly contribute to variance of outcome variable(s).

Would you advise me of the any literature regarding how interaction affects to L2 acquisition?  Interaction is like not only classroom interaction but also social interaction such as social activities, religious activities, part-time jobs, and so on.   
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Yohan Jeon,
Generally speaking, L2 acquisition is highly influenced by interaction effects dominating language  learning. The socio-cultural theory  of L2 acquisition has demonstrated that language  learning triggers a semiotic process demanding socially mediated activities which are  crucial to L2 development operating within the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). In point of fact,  learning in an L2 context
should be a collaborative process rather than an unassisted , unmediated, and  isolated effort. As such, you are right to assume that such factors as social activities , religious activities, and job specifications have an important part in the interaction process. for further details,  I refer you to the following links, which hopefully provide you with the targeted literature.
Best of luck,
R. Biria

Hi all!
I am studying the influence of human attributes (physical appearance (PA) & way of interacting (WoI)) on trust in automation (chatbots) and the relationship between trust and reliance. I have four conditions (2x2), C1 = NoPA + WoI; C2 = PA + WoI; C3 = NoPA + NoWoI; C4 = PA + NoWoI).
I have 25 items (5-point likert) on trust (both cognitive & affective) and a scale for reliance (1-100%).
With my research I want to show that with chatbots becoming more human this influences both cognitive and affective based trust and therebye reliance. Tested with four conditions..
But is this than moderating (in that sense that the relationshop between Trust & Reliance is influenced by the four conditions? Or is trust mediating the relationship between the four conditions and reliance? Or do I just need to do an anova to compare the means between the four conditions? But what about reliance then?
I hope I have been clear (I've tried, but its dazzling me). If you need more input or perhaps a glance into the dataset, feel free to ask! :)
Thanks!

Answer
Thanks for the respone! :) I am now thinking of a oneway Anova to check for differences between the conditions on trust and then use the Hayes process for mediation --> to discover whether trust is a significant predictor for reliance. If rightly explained..

Factors predicting postponement of a final dissertation: Replication and extension.
By Dupont, Serge; Galand, Benoît; Nils, Frédéric
Psychologica Belgica, Vol 54(1), 2014, 33-54.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors predicting postponement of final dissertation completion. This phenomenon affects a substantial number of last year’s graduate students and has been largely neglected throughout higher education literature. We aimed to confirm the results from the only study that investigated the factors related to this phenomenon and overcome some limitations of this study concerning the investigation of the processes involved in FD postponement. A questionnaire assessing individual characteristics, social support, motivational and engagement variables was administered to 268 students a few months before the FD deadline. Results indicated that behavioral engagement, age and role conflict have an independent and significant impact on whether or not the final dissertation is completed on time. In addition, path analyses revealed that role conflict was associated with self-efficacy beliefs which, in turn, predicted greater behavioral engagement. Further, behavioral engagement was the most important contributor of FD postponement. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
Postponement in the completion of the final dissertation: An underexplored dimension of achievement in higher education.
By Dupont, Serge; Meert, Gaëlle; Galand, Benoît; Nils, Frédéric
European Journal of Psychology of Education, Vol 28(3), Sep 2013, 619-639.
Research on academic achievement at a university has mainly focused on success and persistence among first year students. Very few studies have looked at delay or failure in the completion of a final dissertation. However, this phenomenon could affect a substantial proportion of students and has considerable costs. The purpose of the present study is to identify factors which predict postponement in the completion of the final dissertation. Several potential predictors (e.g., background, personality, social support, motivational beliefs, and engagement) were selected through an integrative review of the literature on achievement in higher education. A questionnaire assessing these variables was administered to 341 students a few months before the deadline for their final dissertation. Results indicate that perceived peer support, perceived relatives support, role conflict, and age have an independent and significant effect on whether or not the final dissertation is completed on time. In addition, self-efficacy and behavioral engagement appeared to be mediators of the relationship between the social support and the final dissertation completion.

Factors Associated With Dissertation Completion Among Clinical Psychology Students
By Carlos, Megan C.; Jackson, Brooke
2013 [American Psychological Association (APA)].
It is not uncommon to see clinical psychology students struggle to complete their dissertations in a timely manner (Muszynski & Akamatsu, 1991). These challenges in dissertation completion are not unique to clinical psychology students, as data suggests that as many as 45% of doctoral students in the social sciences do not finish their dissertations (Council of Graduate Schools, 2008). While several studies have examined dissertation completion in doctoral students across a wide range of fields, only a handful have examined issues specific to clinical psychology doctoral students faced with the challenge of completing this particular hurdle of their graduate study. Examining the challenges associated with dissertation completion within this subpopulation of graduate students is important because there may be issues specific to professional psychology training programs and students that account for difficulties with dissertation completion within clinical psychology graduate students. For instance, Gelso (1993) has argued that many clinical psychology doctoral programs do not foster a research training environment that engages students and motivates them in their own research endeavors. In light of the fact that little published literature exists on dissertation completion in clinical psychology students, the purpose of this poster was to identify and examine, through literature review, factors thought to influence the progress of clinical psychology students in dissertation completion. It was hypothesized that personality factors (i.e., perfectionism), environmental influences (i.e., available financial support), and relational factors (i.e., quality of relationship with one's dissertation chair) would play a critical role in students' ability to make progress toward completing their dissertations. The current literature review identified 36 dissertations, 11 journal articles, and one book chapter that presented information specifically focused on dissertation completion among doctoral students in general. Three journal articles and three dissertations focused primarily on dissertation completion among clinical psychology doctoral students. Critical examination of the available literature demonstrated that there are five core themes in the dissertation completion literature which shed light on factors that support and hinder students in the production of their doctoral theses. These core themes are: 1) relationship variables and relational themes (i.e., relationship with one's doctoral committee members); 2) personality variables (i.e., compulsivity); 3) task relevant abilities and attitudes (i.e., desire to complete one's dissertation); 4) career orientation (i.e., practitioner or research orientation); and 5) competing obligations and stressors (i.e., experiencing high levels of life stress outside of school). These findings provide a basis for making specific recommendations to clinical psychology training programs in the service of decreasing student attrition and to students themselves regarding how to successfully complete a dissertation in a timely manner. Because few empirical studies have examined dissertation completion specifically among clinical psychology students, future research is necessary to better understand those factors which support and hinder clinical psychology Ph.D. and Psy.D. candidates in completing their theses.

A qualitative inquiry of the counseling dissertation process.
By Flynn, Stephen V.; Chasek, Christine L.; Harper, Irene F.; Murphy, Katherine M.; Jorgensen, Maribeth F.
Counselor Education and Supervision, Vol 51(4), Dec 2012, 242-255.
The authors in this consensual qualitative research study explored the dissertation experiences of 42 graduates (27 counselor educators, 13 counselors, 2 administrators) from 4 midwestern states. Identified domains included impact of environment, competing influences, personality traits, chair influence, committee function, and barriers to completion. An emergent theory reflected the interconnectedness of the dissertation process across internal, relational, and professional factors. Implications related to motivation, personal traits, and identification of barriers in the dissertation process are provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
The role of self-regulation in doctoral students' status of all but dissertation.
By Kelley, Martha Joan McCoy
Dissertation Abstracts International Section A: Humanities and Social Sciences, Vol 73(1-A), 2012, 71.
A large amount of research has been conducted on self-regulated learning as it relates to academic achievement. Further, there is a large body of literature regarding doctoral candidates who do not complete their dissertations and are classified as All But Dissertation. However, there is a paucity of research regarding the synthesis of these two disparate bodies of research. The purposes of this study were to: (a) assess self-regulated learning as it applied to the time to completion of the dissertation, (b) determine the relationship between self-regulated learning and the intrinsic task value of the dissertation, (c) assess the impact of intrinsic task value upon time to completion of the dissertation, (d) determine whether there was a linear relationship between self-regulated learning and time to complete the dissertation, (e) assess whether differences existed between the levels of self-regulated learning strategies exhibited by those who were classified as All But Dissertation and those who had recently completed their dissertations and (f) assess whether there were differences in the time since comprehensive exams were taken for those who were All But Dissertation and those participants who had recently completed their dissertations. The researcher developed an online survey (titled the Dissertation Enablers Scale) for this purpose. This survey included four subscales to operationalize the variables and covariates (the Self-regulated Learning Scale, the Intrinsic Task Value Scale, the Research Self-efficacy Scale and the Social Support Scale). This survey was validated through comparison with like instruments, expert review, exploratory factor analyses and reliability estimates. The results of hierarchical regressions indicated that self-regulated learning did predict time to completion of the dissertation, yet intrinsic task value did not predict time to completion of the dissertation. Self-regulated learning was significantly correlated with task value. The findings suggest that there was a linear relationship between self-regulated learning and time to completion of the dissertation. A discriminant function analysis revealed that there were no differences in the use of self-regulated learning strategies between those classified as All But Dissertation and those participants who had recently completed their dissertations. Additional factors that emerged as important to dissertation completion were the importance of financial support and the potential mediating role of intrinsic task value upon self-regulated learning.

Facilitating dissertation completion and success among doctoral students in social work.
By Liechty, Janet M.; Liao, Minli; Schull, Christine Pegorraro
Journal of Social Work Education, Vol 45(3), 2009, 481-497.
Social work doctoral education is essential to the continuation of the profession through its production of educators and researchers. Predicted shortages of educators give urgency to the problems of dissertation delays, lengthy time to completion, and attrition. Using Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of learning, in this article we review the literature on barriers and facilitating factors to dissertation completion. Findings support the relevance of postulated mechanisms of learning such as scaffolding and interaction with more knowledgeable others. Findings also suggest that interventions are necessary at individual, relational, and institutional/departmental levels, and that individual success is contingent upon relational and systemic factors as well as aptitude.

The Responsibility Scale: A research note on dissertation completion.
By Kluever, Raymond; Green, Kathy E.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Vol 58(3), Jun 1998, 520-531.
Created and evaluated the Responsibility Scale assessment of graduate students' concepts of responsibility associated with completion of the doctoral dissertation. Items followed P. Brickman et al's (1982) model structure. The scale was completed by 142 doctoral graduates (mean age 41.8 yrs) and 97 doctoral candidates (mean age 44.4 yrs) lacking only their dissertations. The principal components analysis of the scale indicated that two factors underlie responses: those that represent responsibility for organization and preparation of the dissertation, and university quality control and evaluation of work . The scale appears useful for assessing attitudes of doctoral candidates toward responsibility for dissertation tasks and for planning student advising based on these attitudes.

Hi Matthew,
I don't know if this kind of scale is helpfull to your goals, I'm just brainstorming here. Have you ever looked at the Profile of Mood States (POMS)?
In Psychology of Sports we use this kind of scale to do a quick follow up before or after a game or training session.
