“…The results found and presented in this article are in accordance with previous literature, as well as with the proposals of the following scales: BRIEF (Roche et al, 2020), Executive Skills Questionnaire (Strait et al, 2019), ADEXI (Holst and Thorell, 2018), BDEFS (Barkley, 2011), the BDEFS-Children and Adolescents (Mashhadi et al, 2020), and the Multidomain Self-Report Assessment of Fronto-Executive Complaints in Spanish-Speaking Adults (Miranda et al, 2019), which have described the psychometric properties in favor of evaluating the executive functions related to behavioral conscious regulation, cognition, and emotion.…”

“…Another theoretical implication that emerges from this research and from a broad theoretical review of the scales developed to evaluate executive functions lies in the use and foundation of classical theoretical models (Musso, 2009;Barkley, 2011;Baars et al, 2015;Herreras, 2016;García et al, 2018;Holst and Thorell, 2018;Antoniak et al, 2019;Korzeniowski and Ison, 2019;Strait et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019;Mashhadi et al, 2020;Roche et al, 2020). This research attempts to go beyond the established models by proposing such an assessment from the perspective of the behavioral observation of novel executive functions.…”

Factorial Structure of the EOCL-1 Scale to Assess Executive Functions

et al. 2021

The process of assessing executive functions through behavioral observation scales is still under theoretical and empirical construction. This article reports on the analysis of the factorial structure of the EOCL-1 scale that assesses executive functions, as proposed by the theory developed by Luria, which has not been previously considered in this type of evaluation. In this scale, the executive functions taken into account are error correction, internal behavioral and cognition regulatory language, limbic system conscious regulation, decision making, future consideration of consequences of actions, goal-directed behavior, inhibitory control of automatic responses, creation of new behavioral repertoires, and cognitive–behavioral activity verification. A variety of validity and reliability analyses were carried out, with the following results: (a) an adequate internal consistency level of executive functions between α = 0.70 and α = 0.83, (b) significant convergent validity with a scale that assesses frontal deficits between r = −0.07 and r = 0.28, and (c) the scale’s construct validity that proposes a model with an executive central factor comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.93, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.04 (LO.04 and HI.04), standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.04, and x2(312) = 789.29, p = 0.001. The findings are discussed based on previous literature reports and in terms of the benefits of using a scale to assess the proposed executive functions.

“…The Executive Skills Questionnaire–Revised (ESQ-R, Strait et al, 2019) assesses 11 skill areas (response inhibition, working memory, emotional control, sustained attention, task initiation, planning/prioritization, organization, time management, flexibility, metacognition, and goal-directed persistence) on a 4-point frequency response scale ( never or rarely , sometimes , often , and very often ). The test authors reported excellent internal consistency (α = .91), adequate test–retest reliability ( r = .70), and moderate correlations with other self-regulation rating scale scores (range .56–.74) and with academic engagement (−.40, n = 374 college students; Strait et al, 2019). In the current sample, the ESQ-R demonstrated adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .90, n = 93) and moderate concurrent validity ( r = .58 with ADEXI, n = 93) at preintervention and adequate test–retest reliability ( r = .71 over 4 weeks for the control group, n = 45).…”

This preliminary randomized controlled experiment evaluated the effects of a single classroom mindfulness educational session, versus an active contact control activity (study skills review), on college students’ mindfulness meditation frequency and self-reported stress, anxiety, and self-regulation. Those in the intervention group reported marginal increases in meditation frequency, decreased stress (but not anxiety), and improved self-regulation on one of two measures. Decreased stress explained the relationship between group assignment and self-regulation improvements. We provide recommendations for future research based on study limitations, as well as implications for classroom psychology instructors.

“…Strait et al [18] report that the available adult EF rating scales are either technically inadequate (but highly efficient and accessible) or have strong technical adequacy but require extensive training to administer it and are costly. Most of the EF measurements are intended and validated for the clinical population with neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative disorders.…”

“…Although EFs play a critical role in employees' performance, little attention has been given to the psychometric qualities of the measurement of EFs in the organizational context. This study, therefore, aims to address this gap by investigating the psychometric properties of the recently developed Executive Skills Questionnaire-Revised (ESQ-R) [18] in a sample of working adults in Malaysia. The findings are expected to shed light on the usefulness of the ESQ-R in measuring EFs for working adults.…”

Executive functions (EFs) are a set of high-level cognitive and behavioral monitoring skills that are important to employees’ work performance. The 25-item Executive Skills Questionnaire-Revised (ESQ-R) measures executive dysfunction in five dimensions (e.g., emotional regulation). Nevertheless, the usability of this newly developed scale for employees remains unclear. The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the adopted ESQ-R for working adults in Malaysia. A total of 325 employees responded to an online survey consisted of the ESQ-R, Executive Function Index (EFI), self-rated creativity scale (SRCS), and 9-item Utretch Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and Employee Well-being Scale. Several CFAs were conducted to compare three competing models. While all models showed a good fit, the 5-factor second-order model that is in line with the theoretical structure is preferable. The ESQ-R showed excellent internal consistency. Moreover, the ESQ-R score was negatively correlated with EFI, creativity, and UWES-9 scores, supporting the convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. The ESQ-R score also explained incremental variance in well-being above and beyond scores of the UWES-9 and SRCS. Taken together, the ESQ-R is a useful tool for assessing employees’ executive dysfunction and suggesting intervention programs helping employees with deficits in EFs.
