Conceptualization, Measurement, and Validation of Effort- and Valence-Based Just World Beliefs European Journal of Psychological Assessment (IF 2.892) Pub Date : 2022-03-14 Yuan Cheng,Gabriel Nudelman,Kathleen Otto,Jianhong Ma
Abstract. In this research, we propose that belief in a just world (BJW) can be divided into two distinct beliefs: one addressing the notion that efforts are rewarded, that is, effort-based BJW, and another maintaining that the valence associated with moral character leads to particular consequences, that is, valence-based BJW (e.g., good people are rewarded and bad people are punished). We used culturally

Teaching Quality in Higher Education European Journal of Psychological Assessment (IF 2.892) Pub Date : 2022-03-14 Martin Daumiller,Stefan Janke,Julia Hein,Raven Rinas,Oliver Dickhäuser,Markus Dresel
Abstract. Teaching quality is a crucial factor within higher education. Research on this topic often requires assessing teaching quality as a global construct through self-reports. However, such instruments are criticized due to the lack of alignment between teacher and student reports of instructional practices. We argue that while teachers might over- or under-estimate specific dimensions of teaching

Abstract. In individual applications, in which the client is the primary audience for the outcome of a personality assessment, integrated reporting is needed in communicating the result. With multidimensional questionnaires, the usual reporting in terms of a profile of separate scale scores is insufficient from that communicative point of view. We present a procedure for finding integral characterizations

Validation of an Extended Violent Ideations Scale to Measure Both Non-Sexual and Sexual Violent Ideations (The VIS-X) European Journal of Psychological Assessment (IF 2.892) Pub Date : 2022-03-03 Carlota Urruela,Tom Booth,Manuel Eisner,Denis Ribeaud,Aja L. Murray
Abstract. A previous study developed and validated a multi-item instrument for the assessment of violent ideations, the “Violent Ideations Scale” (VIS). However, the final 12-item scale contained no items relating to sexual violence and was thus lacking an important dimension of violence. The current study explores an expansion of the original VIS to include ideations of sexual violence and investigates

Actively Open-Minded Thinking, Bullshit Receptivity, and Susceptibility to Framing European Journal of Psychological Assessment (IF 2.892) Pub Date : 2022-02-10 Nikolay R. Rachev,Sandra J. Geiger,Jáchym Vintr,Desislava Kirilova,Anna Nabutovsky,Joakim Nelsson
Abstract. The framing effect occurs when different presentations of the same problem lead to predictably different preferences. The dual-process framework of higher cognition assumes that the effect violates rational principles, but alternative accounts and recent evidence have contested this interpretation. Contributing to this debate, we tested the dual-process assumption by investigating associations
