participants and procedure This prospective study among 75 patients with stable systolic HF consisted of 2 parts: a quantitative approach, conducted during the hospitalization (based on 4 psychological questionnaires: the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale; the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations; the Acceptance of Illness Scale; and the Patient’s Request Form) and a qualitati...

The present work was designed and developed in the Institute of Medical Psychology, School of Medicine, Universidade de Coimbra. Abstract Objective: The main aims of this article are twofold. First, to assess perfectionism dimensions in obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders in comparison with psychiatric control (depression/anxiety) and non-clinical control groups. Second, to exami...

This series of three studies considers the multidimensionality of exercise self-efficacy by examining the psychometric characteristics of an instrument designed to assess three behavioral subdomains: task, scheduling, and coping. In Study 1, exploratory factor analysis revealed the expected factor structure in a sample of 395 students. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed these results ...

AIM Apathy is a prominent symptom of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but measurement is confounded by physical disability. Furthermore, it has been traditionally measured as a unidimensional symptom despite research demonstrating a multifaceted construct. The new Dimensional Apathy Scale (DAS) has been specifically designed for patients with motor disability to measure 3 neurologically bas...

The Multidimensional Scale of Irrational Beliefs (MSIB) is a brief and theoretically founded measure of irrational thinking as conceptualized by Albert Ellis in his most recent works on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (e.g., Ellis, 2003). With a total of 18 items, it captures demandingness, negative self-evaluation, and low frustration tolerance as the three core aspects of irrationality. Unl...

We administered the Dutch Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale of Hewitt and Flett (1991, 2004) in a large student sample (N=959) and performed a confirmatory factor analysis to test the factorial structure proposed by the original authors. The existence of a method factor referring to the negative keyed items in the questionnaire was investigated by including it in the tested models. Next, we ...

It is effective to improve the reliability and availability of large-scale cluster systems through the analysis of failures. Existed failure analysis methods understand and analyze failures from one or few dimension. The analysis results are partial and with less precision because of the limitation of data source. This paper presents multidimensional analysis based on graph mining to analyze mu...

This article describes the development and validation of the Multidimensional State Boredom Scale (MSBS)-the first and only full-scale measure of state boredom. It was developed based on a theoretically and empirically grounded definition of boredom. A five-factor structure of the scale (Disengagement, High Arousal, Low Arousal, Inattention, and Time Perception) was supported by exploratory fac...
