School adjustment determines long-term in society. Yet, immigrant youth do better some countries than others. Drawing on acculturation research (Berry, 1997; Ward, 2001) and self-determination theory (Ryan Deci, 2000), we investigated indirect effects of adolescent immigrants' orientations school (school-related attitudes, truancy, mathematics achievement) through belonging. Analyses were based data from the Programme for International Student Assessment six European countries, which...
In two studies, we examined the shared and unique meaning of acquiescent, extreme, midpoint, socially desirable responding in association with Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32), a forced-choice format personality measure designed to be less affected by these response styles, compared inventories Likert-type scales. Country-level style indexes were derived from six waves International Social Survey Programme meta-analysis social desirability scale. country-level correlational...
This paper investigates the integration of response styles (extreme and midpoint responding socially desirable responding) their effects on self-reports among 76,887 teachers from 18 countries in Teaching Learning International Survey (TALIS). Socially (with a positive negative impression management factor) 17 core constructs related to teaching profession were measured with Likert scales; extreme derived these measures. Using factor analysis, general style was extracted as indicators...
Noncognitive assessments in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends Mathematics Science Study share certain similarities provide complementary information, yet their comparability is seldom checked convergence not sought. We made use of student self-report data Instrumental Motivation, Enjoyment Sense Belonging to School targeted both surveys 29 overlapping countries (1) demonstrate levels measurement comparability, (2) check different scaling methods within survey...
This article investigated the dimensionality, measurement invariance, and cross-cultural variations of social desirability. A total 3,471 university students from 20 countries completed an adapted version Marlowe–Crowne scale. two-dimensional structure was revealed in pooled sample, distinguishing enhancement (endorsement positive self-description) denial (rejection negative self-description). The factor supported most countries; medium-sized item bias found two items. In a multilevel...
From a cross-cultural perspective, we studied the psychological meaning of generalized response style that combines acquiescent, extreme, and midpoint styles. Individual- country-level indexes three specific styles were constructed from eight multicountry surveys for correlation multilevel analyses. At both levels, confirmed general factor with positive loading extreme style, negative acquiescent in between. This refers to communication filter moderates or amplifies expressions it is...
This study aims to evaluate a number of procedures that have been proposed enhance cross–cultural comparability personality and value data. A priori (anchoring vignettes direct measures response styles (i.e. acquiescence, extremity, midpoint responding, social desirability), posteriori focusing on data transformations prior analysis (ipsatization item parcelling), two modelling (treating as continuous vs ordered categories) were compared using collected from university students in 16...
Resilient adaptation among immigrant youth provides the foundation for healthy and productive adult lives. Great diversity is observed in their adaptation. This has been studied during past decade from different angles intellectual traditions. However, results are disconnected. In this paper, first, we present a resilience conceptual model understanding We argue that its concepts principles allow us to best pull together what known discover still unknown. Together with narrower...
There is hardly any cross-cultural research on the measurement invariance of Brief Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scales (BMSLSS). The current article evaluates BMSLSS across cultural contexts. This cross-sectional study sampled 7,739 adolescents and emerging adults in 23 countries. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit configural partial weights models, indicating similar patterns strengths loading for both various We found insufficient evidence scalar...
Anchoring vignettes are item batteries especially designed for correcting responses that might be affected by incomparability. This article investigates the effects of anchoring on validity student self-report data in 64 cultures. Using secondary analysis from 2012 Programme International Student Assessment (PISA), we checked ratings vignette questions, and investigated how rescaled two scales, Teacher Support Classroom Management, enhanced comparability predictive validity. The main...
Minorities who face negative interactions with other groups may experience both an increased identification their ethnic group and a decreased majority group. First, we argue that it is important to understand the associations minorities have groups, especially among are rarely included in empirical research. Muslim refugees often treated differently more than immigrants. Second, combine insights (a) about role of religiosity acculturation, suggesting does not positive effects on well-being...
The positive relationship between job crafting and work outcomes, often mediated by individual basic needs, is well-supported; however, little known about whether these relationships, specifically the mediation, hold across cultures. We investigated satisfaction among nurses from diverse cultural contexts, as well potential mediating role of need satisfaction. conducted a cross-cultural comparative study in hospital settings three distinct contexts: Lebanon, India, USA. tested (a) scales...
The aim of this study is to contribute a better understanding extreme response style in cross-cultural research by integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence mixed methods design. In the phase, indexes style, derived from quality life measures different international studies, were compared between Spain Netherlands. Results indicated that responding was more common among Spanish than Dutch endorsement items, but opposite found for frequency scales including never as anchor. cognitive...
