Abstract
The present work builds on prior research to develop the Everyday Spatial Behavioral Questionnaire (ESBQ or EBQ), a measure of self-reported difficulty in performing familiar activities that involve spatial thinking. A principal component analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were employed to identify reliable categories of everyday spatial behaviors. A test of measurement invariance was employed across two independent samples of college students to validate an 11-Component Model as a representation of the ESBQ. The model met criteria necessary to represent a strong model in terms of the ESBQ having the same structure and meaning in both samples. Both samples had eight of the 11 sub-scales with Cronbach alphas greater than .7, while for five of these eight sub-scales Cronbach alphas were greater than .8. Alphas were lower in the second sample than the first. The scales require construct and criterion-related validity assessment.
