“…Evidence of reliability was assessed using internal consistency measures with the "SemTools" R package (v. 0.5.1; Jorgensen et al, 2018): the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α; Cronbach, 1951), the coefficient omega (ω; McDonald, 2013), and the hierarchical omega coefficient (ω h ; Green and Yang, 2009;McDonald, 2013;Kelley, 2016) for each factor. Alpha and omega values ≥ 0.7 were satisfactory indicators of internal consistency (Marôco, 2014).…”

Academic engagement describes students' involvement in academic learning and achievement. This paper reports the psychometric properties of the University Student Engagement Inventory (USEI) with a sample of 3992 university students from nine different countries and regions from Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Asia. The USEI operationalizes a trifactorial conceptualization of academic engagement (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive). Construct validity was assessed by means of confirmatory factor analysis and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients. Weak measurement invariance was observed for country/region, while strong measurement invariance was observed for gender and area of graduation. The USEI scores showed predictive validity for dropout intention, self-rated academic performance, and course approval rate while divergent validity with student burnout scores was also evident. Overall, the results indicate that the USEI can produce reliable and valid data on academic engagement of university students across the world.

“…We included data reported by the children and by their mothers and excluded data from sources that significantly reduced our sample size due to missing cases (see details in Table 1's note). From the available measures, we only included measures that had sufficient reliability (McDonalds Omega above .60; Kelley & Pornprasertmanit, 2016). This concluded in 18 measures of children's environment, and 10 measures of children's developmental outcomes.…”

“…Therefore, we did not include any father reports or school measures. We used McDonalds Omega as the reliability criterion according to the recommendations by Kelley and Pornprasertmanit (2016). Measures were excluded from analyses if their Omega was below .60.…”

Environmental susceptibility for all: A data-driven approach suggests individual differences in domain-general and domain-specific patterns of environmental susceptibility

How we are influenced by our environment is a fundamental question in developmental science. Theories and empirical research have claimed that some individuals are susceptible to environmental influences and others are much less susceptible. The present study addressed four questions: (1) Is environmental susceptibility a continuous or categorical construct? (2) Is environmental susceptibility unidimensional (i.e., domain general) or multidimensional (i.e., domain specific)? (3) Are there genetic contributions to individual differences in environmental susceptibility? (4) What are the temperamental characteristics of different environmental susceptibility patterns? We used child- and mother-report data from a sample of 11-year-old twins (N = 1,507) and applied a novel data-driven approach to assess an environmental susceptibility space, based on simultaneous associations between multiple environmental exposures (18 measures relating to parenting, parent, peer, and twin relationships) and developmental outcomes (10 measures relating to empathy, prosocial behavior, aggression, and self-esteem). The results suggest that the environmental susceptibility space we assessed is better conceptualized as continuous and multidimensional. Different children showed susceptibility to different contexts and variation in domain-general versus domain-specific patterns. A comparison of distances between monozygotic and dizygotic twins within the space demonstrated genetic contributions. Finally, susceptibility patterns could not be differentiated based on a specific temperament trait, but rather related to temperament profiles.

“…Several studies justify the use of McDonald's omega as an alternative reliability index to the alpha [14,17,18]. Also, some cross-cultural adaptation studies calculate the omega in addition to the alpha [19][20][21].…”

Psychometric Analyses in the Transcultural Adaptation of Psychological Scales

Measurement scales play an important role in the methodology of psychological research and practice. They make it possible to obtain scores linked to numerous individual characteristics (feeling of hope, perceived stress, experience, felt well-being, etc.) and thus to draw up a profile of respondents or to compare several situations with each other according to their psychological impact. Most of the research on the construction of these scales is Anglo-Saxon and, therefore, proposes scales in English. However, many non-English speaking countries feel the need to use these scales for their studies, which requires them to be translated into a target language. This proposed chapter describes the steps and psychometric analyses required to adapt an English scale in another language. Based in particular on the recommendations of the International Test Commission and the APA Standards of Practice for Testing, this chapter aims to guide researchers who wish to undertake the translation of a psychological scale. It also includes an analysis of the literature on the translation practices of some one hundred scales, translated and published recently in various scientific journals.
