Description¶
An online questionnaire battery assembled by Martin Andrew J. et al. to measure university students’ adaptability, fluid reasoning, self-efficacy, engagement, and disengagement using established scales and cognitive-test items.
Components¶
- Measurement battery: Adaptability Scale – Short, ICAR Letter and Number Series, and MES-UC motivation/engagement items: The study's instruments operationalize the JD-R constructs for university students: lockdown status as a dichotomous item, adaptability via the 3-item Adaptability Scale – Short, fluid reasoning via the 9-item ICAR Letter and Number Series sub-test (30 s per item, formed into three item parcels), and self-efficacy, participation, aspirations, enjoyment, and disengagement via MES-UC items rated 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). Reliabilities (coefficient omega) ranged from .64 (fluid reasoning) to .87 (participation). (Martin Andrew J. et al. (2023))
Claims¶
- Perceived adaptability significantly and positively predicted self-efficacy and all three engagement dimensions [+M]
- Fluid reasoning significantly predicted enjoyment but not self-efficacy after accounting for adaptability and covariates [+M]
