Subclaims¶

q2 i? AHS is most commonly measured via four-item subscales of the MSLQ and OSLQ, comprising 9% and 17% of those instruments respectively, and some MSLQ adaptations showed low reliability. → Navarro-Ibáñez 2026

Descriptive synthesis of instruments across the 32 included studies. The review reports that the MSLQ and OSLQ measure AHS via a four-item subscale and that "the AHS items comprise 9% of the MSLQ and 17% of the OSLQ", which the authors argue may obscure the construct's multidimensional nature.

"In terms of percentage, the AHS items comprise 9% of the MSLQ and 17% of the OSLQ."
