Abstract: The satisfaction of the psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness have been established as central components of human well-being, predictive of various positive behavioral and psychological outcomes. However, in many contexts, they need to be assessed very briefly, sometimes with just one item. Recent research has shown that well-designed single-item scales of relatively unidimensional constructs can perform surprisingly well. Accordingly, this project aimed to create and validate single-item scales for the three needs. In Study 1 ( n = 353, UK), we generated new items based on careful examination of the construct definitions and tested them alongside established multi-item need satisfaction scales. In Study 2 ( n = 335, US), we replicated these results using a shorter time span (need satisfaction yesterday). Study 3 ( n = 327, UK) compared the performance to a few other brief need satisfaction scales. In all studies, the new single items loaded excellently on respective longer scales and correlated with criterion variables at near identical levels as the longer scales. Given that the performance of the single-item scales was comparable to the established multi-item scales, they are recommended as valid and useful measures of need satisfaction for research context requiring very brief measures.

Abstract: In the course of the PIAAC international pilot studies conducted in 2016 and 2017, the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2; Soto & John, 2017 ) was translated into and validated in five languages (French, German, Polish, Spanish, and Japanese). Translation was coordinated and conducted centrally following the same state-of-the-art procedures. The performance and comparability of the resulting BFI-2 versions were investigated in parallel in a comprehensive international online study based on quota samples in each country. In this paper, we present the different language versions of the BFI-2 and our investigation of their psychometric properties (reliability, structural, and criterion-related validity) as well as their measurement invariance. Overall, the results reveal high comparability of the psychometric properties across all six versions of the BFI-2 and pairwise between the five adaptations and the English-language original.

Abstract: Previous cross-cultural research on the measurement invariance of the fear of happiness scale has largely been limited to small student samples, making it difficult to generalize findings to more diverse populations. This study examined the measurement invariance of the fear of happiness scale in adult samples from South Korea, Canada, Turkey, Poland, Portugal, and the United States. Sample sizes ranged from 256 to 1,177 participants per country (total N = 3,930). The single-factor model of fear of happiness fitted the data well, and the reliabilities were acceptable in all countries. After adjustment for age, partial scalar invariance was supported, with Items 3 and 5 being non-invariant. Latent mean analysis revealed significant country differences, with Turkey having the highest fear of happiness score and Portugal having the lowest. These findings suggest that the scale can be used to measure fear of happiness in diverse adult samples. However, Items 3 and 5 may not be interpreted consistently across cultures. Therefore, caution should be used when comparing observed means across countries. For meaningful cross-cultural comparisons, researchers should compare latent means after considering and addressing any potential non-invariance issues.

Abstract: Corruption is a psychosocial problem that has important implications for different areas of society. In psychology, this problem is usually studied through corrupt behavior. The aim of this study is thus to analyze the tests used to evaluate corrupt behavior from a psychological perspective. A systematic review was conducted following the standards of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement of relevant studies published from 2000 to 2023 in Scopus, ScienceDirect and the Web of Science. We have therefore included empirical studies published in Spanish and English, synthesized their information using thematic analysis, and presented these results in a summary table. Specifically, we reviewed 696 articles and 63 relevant full-text articles, and 24 of these studies met the inclusion criteria. Accordingly, we have found that corrupt behavior has been evaluated through three types of tests: surveys, corruption scenarios, and bribery games. The main properties of these tests also vary according to the adopted theoretical framework, domain evaluated, rigor of evaluation, and sample characteristics. These findings can be used to determine the choice of a particular instrument or in the construction of another if the existing instruments are deemed inappropriate.
摘要：腐败是一个社会心理问题，对社会的不同领域都有重要影响。心理学通常通过腐败行为来研究这一问题。因此，本研究旨在从心理学角度分析用于评估腐败行为的测试。我们按照系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）2020 声明的标准，对 2000 年至 2023 年期间在 Scopus、ScienceDirect 和 Web of Science 上发表的相关研究进行了系统综述。因此，我们纳入了以西班牙语和英语发表的实证研究，利用主题分析法综合了这些研究的信息，并在汇总表中展示了这些结果。具体而言，我们查阅了 696 篇文章和 63 篇相关全文，其中 24 篇符合纳入标准。据此，我们发现腐败行为的评估有三种测试方式：调查、腐败情景模拟和贿赂游戏。这些测试的主要特性也因所采用的理论框架、评估领域、评估的严格程度和样本特征的不同而各异。这些研究结果可用于确定特定工具的选择，或在认为现有工具不合适时用于构建另一种工具。

Abstract: The academic grit scale (AGS) is a new measure developed to assess the level of adolescents’ grit in an academic-specific context. The main purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties, factor structure, and measurement invariance of the AGS among Chinese adolescents. A cross-sectional design and convenient sampling were conducted in a sample of Chinese adolescents ( N = 619, 50.6% female, Mage = 14.56 years, SD = 1.47 years) using the AGS. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the original unidimensional model of the AGS, and multiple-group CFA further verified the AGS scores had strong measurement invariance across gender (i.e., boys and girls) and grade level (i.e., middle school students and high school students). Moreover, the AGS also showed satisfactory internal consistency (using Cronbach’s α, McDonald’s ω, and mean inter-item correlation) and criterion validity, supported by expected relationships with scores on external variables (i.e., general grit, anxiety, and depression). In conclusion, these findings suggest that the AGS has satisfactory psychometric properties and can be a reliable tool to measure the academic grit level of Chinese adolescents.

Abstract: Studies published on the validity of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT), a novel burnout instrument, have gained traction in the literature over recent years. The BAT has been successfully shown to be equivalent across representative samples when modeled as a second-order/higher-order model. However, this specification is not free of criticism and the bifactor approach has been presented as the alternative model specification. Therefore, a study investigating the construct-relevant multidimensionality of the BAT across many representative samples is warranted to reassess a global burnout factor ( n = 9,041). We implemented bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling to ascertain the relevance of a global burnout factor and specific component factors (bifactor-ESEM). According to the standardized loadings and McDonald’s ω coefficients, the results showed that the bifactor-ESEM model had a strong global burnout factor with relevant specific factors beyond the global factor. The model also showed measurement invariance across countries and genders. We also present a figure that compares the global burnout mean scores of the countries. All in all, the results of this study reaffirmed that BAT-assessed burnout can be modeled with an equivalent global burnout score across conditions.
摘要：近年来，有关职业倦怠评估工具（BAT）有效性的研究在文献中越来越受欢迎。当 BAT 被建立为二阶/高阶模型时，已成功证明其在代表性样本中具有等效性。然而，这种建模方法也并非没有受到批评，双因素方法被认为是另一种建模方法。因此，有必要在众多代表性样本中对 BAT 的建构相关多维性进行研究，以重新评估全球倦怠因子（n = 9,041）。我们采用了双因素探索性结构方程模型（bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling）来确定总体倦怠因素和特定组成因素（bifactor-ESEM）的相关性。根据标准化载荷和麦克唐纳ω系数，结果表明双因素-ESEM 模型有一个强大的整体倦怠因素，在整体因素之外还有相关的特定因素。该模型还显示出不同国家和性别间的测量不变性。我们还展示了一张图，比较了各国的总体倦怠平均得分。总之，本研究的结果再次证实，BAT 评估的倦怠可以通过不同条件下的等效总体倦怠得分来建模。

Abstract: The aim of this article was to develop an abbreviated version of the Sensory Processing Sensitivity Questionnaire (SPSQ), that maintains a similar factorial structure to the original and demonstrates good psychometric properties. The Short Form of the SPSQ (SPSQ-SF) was developed using a split-sample validation design. Items were retained based on impact on internal consistency reliability, fit to the hierarchical structure of the original SPSQ, and information curves based on a Graded Response Model. Subsequently, the dimensionality and fit to the latent structure of the SPSQ were evaluated. Correlations with the original SPSQ, other measures of Sensory Processing Sensitivity, personality, and clinical outcomes were examined. The SPSQ-SF demonstrated a good fit and high correlation with the original SPSQ. Positive correlations were observed with subscales of the Adult Temperament Questionnaire and the Highly Sensitive Person Scale. Neuroticism and Openness showed strong associations with the negative and positive higher-order dimensions of the SPSQ-SF, respectively. The negative higher-order dimension and Emotional and Physiological Reactivity subscale exhibited significant relationships with physical and psychological distress. Thus, the SPSQ-SF demonstrated good convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. The SPSQ-SF offers a valid and reliable alternative to the original SPSQ, allowing for the collection of a large amount of information with fewer items.
