This study evaluated the consistency of evaluation for efficiency spectrum usage and proposed improvement plans. First, a system evaluating was devised based on statistical methodology, correlation, discrimination, adequacy were derived as detailed criteria. Furthermore, case is conducted using empirical data to confirm practical applicability system. Moreover, plans, such expansion quantitativ...

The aim of this study was to develop and test a questionnaire to measure the research challenges and opportunities faced by dental students. The initial part of the study dealt with designing, developing, and pilot testing of the questionnaire (Dental Students Research Inventory, DSRI), and the later part consisted of field testing. The validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliabilit...

This paper presents three studies on Larson's 1996 Driver's Stress Profile, a measure of aggressive driving tendencies. In Study 1, utilizing 33 individuals (15 men, 18 women) who took the test twice with one week between tests, we found the test to have good test-retest reliability (r = .93). In Study 2, utilizing 176 individuals (77 men, 99 women), we found different preliminary norms for men...

OBJECTIVE Schemas are generally assumed to develop as a result of early experiences with attachment figures. Within this theoretical framework Young et al. (1991, 2003) developed a schema questionnaire to evaluate early maladaptive schemas. The aim of the present study was to preliminarily establish the psychometric validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Young Schema Questionnai...

Evaluated the psychometric properties of the Therapy Procedures Checklist (TPC). The TPC was developed to assess therapists' reports of the techniques they employ when working with child and adolescent clients. TPC items encompass the 3 most common therapeutic models for youth: psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral. In a survey of youth therapy experts, TPC items had good content validity fo...

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) with a Chinese military population with the aim of finding a suitable instrument to quantify resilience in Chinese military service members. The confirmatory factor analysis results did not support the factorial structure of the original or the Chinese community version of the CD-RISC, but the expl...

AIM The aim of the study was to construct and evaluate psychometric properties of the Swedish language Person-centred Climate Questionnaire - staff version. BACKGROUND Person-centred care is often quoted but ill defined, and the literature warrants the development of valid and reliable measurement tools. METHODS During 2006, a questionnaire was constructed and distributed to a sample of Swe...

Vapor-liquid equilibrium relationships are important properties for practical use, such as in the design and operation of distillation equipment. In general, vapor-liquid equilibrium relations are determined experimentally, and it is a custom to test the thermodynamic consistency of the equilibrium data. Investigators1^4-15'17'19~22-24) have proposed various methods for testing thermodynamic co...
